Anyone who does not see this as an explicit, targeted threat against public officials needs to rethink their priorities.

We cannot lose sight of how f*cked up it is that Donald Trump threatened members of another political party with death. Now these Members need around-the-clock security. People treated his words as a call for violence, not routine political talk.

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

These threats aren’t abstract. They are real. They’ve hurt the people I love. We all need to stand against this.

Good. It’s why we speak up.

Today it was revealed that the Coast Guard would no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. Unacceptable. I just met with Admiral Lunday, and got his committment to publish a new policy. Hate has no place in our armed services.

The Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses? Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow. This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.

This is despicable. How the hell is a swastika not a “hate symbol??" The Trump Administration seems to have a Nazi problem.

These are symbols of racism, anti-semitism, and violence. There's no spin that can deny that fact. The American people and those who proudly represent us in the Coast Guard’s uniform deserve far better. This decision should be reversed immediately.

Swastikas are a symbol of Nazis and violent antisemitism, and they should NEVER be tolerated in our country — much less by our military. This is absolutely horrific. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Political violence is extremely bad.

In the aftermath of all the political violence that took place this year, this is sickening.

The President of the United States is openly calling for the execution of Democratic Members of Congress. Where is the condemnation from Republicans over this blatant call for political violence?

A sitting president is literally threatening to hang Members of Congress. The president has incited violence before; we cannot take this lightly. I stand with my Democratic colleagues who have been targeted by Trump. This is absolutely appalling.

Donald Trump is now saying Democratic lawmakers who encouraged servicemembers to follow the law should be put to death. When are Republicans going to grow a spine to call this out?

This is a new low — even for Donald Trump. His threats against patriotic members of Congress are disgraceful and disgusting. We should not have to remind the president that there is no place for political violence. He needs to delete his posts now.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress. We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

Political violence has no place in America. It’s disgusting that our President is calling for the death of elected officials, the same man who incited the January 6 attack. Donald Trump is the gravest threat to our country.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

People are complicated. Legislation often involves aligning the complications into a shape that passes a bill.

If you haven’t watched Lawrence O’Donnell today, you need to go do so immediately I gave as much detail about the Epstein vote as I knew, but he has more, and Schumer deserves even more credit than I was already giving him

Has anyone written about the ways that some online neurodiversity spaces put pressure on parents to homeschool? (And/or to put kids in special education schools rather than mainstream classrooms)?

Let’s be clear: Trump changing his tune about releasing the Epstein Files isn’t about justice — it’s an admission that he and Republicans are going to lose this vote. I’ll be voting YES on legislation to release the files and give the American people transparency.

Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to levy taxes and tariffs -- not the President. There is finally a bipartisan movement to reclaim this authority and end the costly and chaotic tariff wars – and we cannot let it die in Speaker Johnson’s hands.

It is so important to not gleefully do the kinds of things that your opponents would claim you do to try to discredit you

its corrosive to the Jewish ability to be a part of society in general if everything around us has this problem.

This is true, that said, I've watched this happen a lot, with BLM and Pride where key organizers or organizations have unleashed unhinged antisemitism and the 99% have just kinda stood by, and as a Jew you're left going "okay but is the person next to at this protest an antisemite?"

My politics are “we live in a society!” but unironically.

Children are not a luxury accessory or an expensive hobby. They are literally our future.

Sure enough, there had been some confusion. They were referring to a popular meme and having a bit of a joke. I had snarkily pushed back, not knowing the meme. Apologies were made, posts were deleted on both sides. I think "block and move on" is generally good policy but sometimes it's complicated.

Earlier, I read a post here that seemed to be attacking me and, somehow, all men(?). So I blocked and moved on. But then I thought, this is so weird that maybe either I or them might have gotten something wrong? Misunderstood? So I unblocked them, quote tweeted my confusion, got a bit snarky....

Bracketing that at some point I’d like to write about how I think a lot of child safety advice is designed for one-maybe-two kids and creates problematic pressure on people to have fewer kids.

Like, there are a lot of different kinds of “communities” out there and most of them are not idealized, egalitarian communes whose solutions conveniently align with those professed by abolitionists.

Not feeling well. Need to cancel #ParshaChat

Hahaha, I was just joking...don't you get it? I didn't want to actually do the horrible thing I said I would do to you...it was just a joke! Why aren't you laughing at the joke about how you should die? Huh? 😬

This incident has gotten me thinking: On social media, there are *way* too many opportunities to be mean and get more validation than criticism from it.

every time this happens people start going "what about this, huh" and getting suspended too, so may I recommend not doing that at this point everyone should know what the policy is and "I'm going to go right up to what I think the line is and poke it with a stick" is asking to get got

"bluesky will suspend you for anything vaguely resembling a death threat" is maybe the single most consistent moderation policy they have I don't know why anyone is surprised by this one yes, even if it's a reference to song lyrics

If people are moving out of your city because they can work elsewhere more cheaply, your problem is affordability, not remote work.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile." Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

The thing about career criminals is that they get away with it until they don’t.
