Forgive me if I care way more about the school shooting that also took place today than I do about Charlie Kirk.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

My very homemade sign for the #NoKings protest tomorrow. If I hadn’t already planned on going, I would have after what happened to Senator Padilla. I’ve already called both my Senators to express my disgust and outrage at how he was treated and asked them what they’re going to do about it.

I’ll tell you what. If you voted for Trump, and now it’s coming back to bite you, I don’t want to hear about how sad you are. I want to know what you’re gonna do about it. Start there.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

A @immdef.bsky.social video with images of the prison where Andry is. Inmates made the international sign for distress in cases human trafficking & chanted “libertad.” Andry, a gay man seeking asylum in the US, was not spotted & the government will not give proof of life.

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.”

In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

This. Turn up the heat on his GOP enablers. We only need 7-10 GOP Senators and House Reps to stop this madness.

Dear #GOP

You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you.

Thanks,
Sane America

And every time you try to tell them they’re not going to be exempt from everything they’re voting for, they dismiss you and mock that you have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Shrug. Oh well.

Looks gorgeous!

Beautiful!

They knew what he was. They just didn’t care. Never again should they thank the military for their service after they put Hegseth in charge of needlessly endangering their lives.

Interrupting my own doom scrolling with the loaf of sourdough bread I just pulled out of the oven. Do whatever it takes to protect your mental health, especially these days. Props to my quilt instructor who also showed us how to make sourdough bread. Build your community. Keep ‘em close.

I’m an NV voter. Disappointed both my senators are on this list. Cortez Masto has already disappointed me by voting for the GOP budget. I contacted both of them about this voter suppression bill and asked them why they wanted to make it harder for women and military to vote.

Go to the online DC or Florida Bar orgs and file a complaint against Pam Bondi for not complying with the Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. Her bar # is 886440.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼

File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

So if the economy totally crashes because the President is either cognitively gone or an agent of foreign chaos, this Congress is just going to act like we’ve got to roll with it for 3 and a half more years?

I quilt to de-stress & to protect my mental health. I made this quilt for a Ukrainian refugee couple expecting their first baby. I wanted something cheerful & in the colors of their flag. I’ve never met them but want them to know this US citizen welcomes them & wishes them peace & joy. #slavaukraini

“I wanted bad things to happen to other people, not me. I regret voting for you because now your leopard is eating MY face.”

My tear ducts are dry.
