This is officially the longest government shutdown in history. Trump is paying for a $250 million renovation to the White House while millions of government workers face poverty for a political stunt. Kirsti Noem is getting two private jets. And the Republicans in Congress don't care. DAMN.

The Washington State GOP are traitors to Democracy: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

WA GOP supports Trump’s use of troops in Portland ... and Seattle

“Portland today, Seattle tomorrow.” Washington state Republicans support Trump’s use of federal troops in Portland and other U.S. cities — some say it’s time for Seattle to be next.

So people aren't talking about this but, Trey Reed in MS was found lynched right after Charlie Kirk died. The authorities ruled it as a suicide almost immediately. That wasn't a suicide, lynching is back- be safe y'all.

I'm with it but, could the protest be less establishment-y? The policies and infrastructure that Trump is using to terrorize us was a bipartisan project. Let's not forget that. We need a new politics not, just a Trump-free politics.

Marie G. Perez isn't the future of Dem Politics. She embodies the failures of early 21st century Dem strategy. She actively alienates leftists, progressives and even centrists (occasionally) to kowtow to ths GOP in some dumbass ploy to bring them on side:

The representative from Washington has been hailed as the future of Democratic politics. But for those of us who actually live in her district, she’s just more of the same.

@adamsmith.house.gov do you agree with the sentiment that, "all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more."?

Based on your vote it seems like you are an anti-Black racist.

The Professor watch list was created by Turning Point USA and led by Charlie Kirk. This silencing of left-wing voices calling out racism and double-standards and violent rhetoric from the right is in-line with the kind of McCarthyist violence that Charlie and his ilk subscribed to.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

A young Black man was lynched in MS. When CK died people thought these fascists wannabes were just talking online. Idk if the events are connected but, these are troubling times.

Are all you white media punidts who have been cannonizing Charlie Kirk also going to start praising Nick Fuentes for practicing politics "exactly the right way" now that it looks like the suspect was inspired by Fuentes' "willingness to debate"?

Or nah?

This hits a lot of them for me but, I've also loved all the superhero fare that's come out this year. Though, to different degrees. I can't wait to see Weapons again at home tonight!
