Yeah I know I'm late to the party

It is absolutely possible to both condemn political violence AND have zero sympathy for a guy who made his living by suggesting that violence against women, LGBTQ folks, and minorities was somehow right getting publicly violenced.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time: 1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society 2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The craziest thing about Trump sending armed troops to occupy 19 states is that he’s doing it to distract from being in the Epstein Files and everyone knows it.

No additional comment needed.

Foxtrot Delta Taco.

Guess that's what they mean when they say you shouldn't meet your heros, you utter waste of oxygen masquerading as a president. Anyway, release the Epstien files.

I hope my suspicion is wrong: Vance is too new and frankly too much of a dweeb to be in the Files. When Trump gets 25'd, Vance can release everything and look like a hero, ensuring Republican popularity for the midterms and the end of democracy's last hope.

I don't care who's in those files. Democrat, Republican, billionaire, Hollywood celebrity, it does not matter. If entire governments collapse under the weight of their guilt, it does not matter. They deserve to fall.

I will be referring to Noem as Cruella DeFiller from now on

I'm supposed to be upset that all these Democrat names are on the subpoena list? Get them all. Democrat, Republican, celebrity, CEO, I don't care. Get. Them. ALL.

Americans are united in wanting the Epstein files released. Americans haven’t been this united since September 12th, 2001.

At least someone is happy it's summer. Blessings of the season to you, #witchsky

Let's get to work, #witchsky

Call it a curse if you want to, or focus on binding and transforming. Either way, let's use this No Kings energy in the air right now and get to Work.

OK but consider

An Augustinian Cardinal from Chicago. First time for everything, I suppose.

White smoke already? That was fast.

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it NEVER should've abducted Kilmar, yet it continues to defy a court order to facilitate his return. Trump claims there's nothing he can do. But as I wrote to him today, the VP of El Salvador told me explicitly — the ball is in Trump's court:

A useful way to think about his tanking poll numbers is that they would be far worse if more people knew what he is doing

“Trump is shackling the greatest institutions in American life. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

It may not matter if this keeps happening.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

what if it just took one though

The crashing economy and barrage of ignorant hateful orders are bad enough. The long-term ramifications of completely removing the global soft power that was USAID and categorically alienating historic allies will leave the US scrambling in the global dust for generations to come. Are we great yet?

Way to show 'em, Wisconsin 💙

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Huh

Numerous Social Security numbers — including those belonging to a U.S. ambassador, congressional staffers and intelligence researchers — were revealed to be included in the trove of J.F.K papers released.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Alternative rock could be run so much more efficiently. How necessary are a singer, guitar player, bass player and drummer. You could get rid of all of those positions and replace them with one guy who just shows up at the venue and hawks crypto

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Pay attention to this: Elon Musk is now trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why aren’t more Democrats talking about this??

Articles of impeachment filed once again! All Green is a rock star!

“Illegal immigrant” was their first success. Now comes “Illegal boycott” “Illegal protest” “Illegal votes” “Illegal posts” Until the “illegal” is you. #3E

Whelp. Looks like isolation, secrets, and the precarious balance of other people's emotions are out the eclipse door; and ignition, self mastery, and speaking the fuck up are in. What I really want to know is how many other folx on #witchsky are looking at similar spreads right now.

"A 3rd world war looms; the sole force holding it back is Ukraine’s unyielding courage — the willingness of Ukraine’s bravest sons & daughters to sacrifice everything for freedom. We can’t ask more of Kyiv, but we can and must demand more from Moscow." #StandWithUkraine thehill.com/opinion/inte...

Boycotting isn't illegal - it's the free market in action. I thought y'all loved that.
