Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official.
Republicans respond by blaming the left.
Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.
The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

Over 11 million people protested yesterday.
If we can bring that same energy to the ballot box next November, we’ll take back the House, the Senate, and finally hold this administration accountable.
Will you chip in to help us engage Gen Z in the fight?

The white South Africans "refugees" are learning the same lesson that anyone who trusted Donald Trump has learned, just more quickly.
political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Trump’s racism knows no bounds. He said Sen Alex Padilla “looked like an illegal” while Padilla was handcuffed & clearly identified. That’s not a mistake—it’s a full-throated endorsement of racial profiling, state violence, & white supremacy. Keep calling out his vile rhetoric. tinyurl.com/y5ed6axt
Worth noting that Tea Party protests were over theoretical, imaginary, future forms of oppression, not anything happening in the, what's it called, real world.
About the closest they came to first-hand oppression was some folks were allowed to get married and poor people received healthcare.
Home is here.
Dreamers enrich our communities, contribute to our economy, and make our country better. They’re Americans in every way that counts.

Great crowd and supportive motorists!

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party
The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform
These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes
Hope that helps
The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it
Another straightforward violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. In a democratic society which valued accountability and the rule of law, this would produce impeachment of the executive branch officials and discharge of the military chain of command.
Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people.
It's Robin Hood in reverse.
If anyone wants to politely tell Mike Lee’s staff the real political identity of this shooter, his DC office number is 202-224-5444.
Given the fact that Republicans are actively pushing the insane lie that the deaths are on *Democrats’ hands* it really is important that political leaders and the press make this case clearly.
Since this article was published in 2018, billionaires have increased their wealth by $7 trillion, and an estimated 254,000 people in the U.S. have died because they couldn’t access or afford healthcare.
Healthcare shouldn’t be for-profit.
“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.
I am in absolute awe. No words.
