Of course, Trump would argue that he *is* "uniting the nation," in that only his supporters are true citizens. In his eyes, the nation is already united.

When historians look back on this period Trump will look like a clear enemy of democracy. My new piece for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A spot-on look at how Trump will be regarded in the future. Not exactly the legacy he probably expected.

Best podcast EVAR!

At a time when division feels overwhelming, my co-host @johnfugelsang.bsky.social offers a different path. In our newest Oath and the Office episode, we dive into his new book The Separation of Church and Hate—and how to recover our shared values. 🎧 Episode link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The shooter left a homophobic message on a shell casing. That suggests he is no leftist.

I just don’t get why the magats make an immediate & wild-eyed assumption that the left would perpetuate a murder like this. If AI were to scour the internet how many instances would it find where liberals called for all-out bloodshed against the right after a horrific event against us & democracy?

This is looking more likely.

The president and his allies assume Charlie Kirk’s murderer came from the left. But Kirk was slammed by the far right as too moderate. The threat may well have come from that extreme. We will know more soon.
