Makkka is using Kirk’s death to tie “assassination” to his murder.

They want Makkka represented in the most common group that term is used: JFK, Malcolm X, MLK, RFK. He was nowhere as notable as Lennon or the members of ⬆️ group.

Kirk could have spread unity instead of division if Makkka was WWJD.

This scans with my experience in a prominent MAGA family.

These racists & sexists exuded a powerful, seeming sexual, high thru perceived superiority & hatred of those who denied it.

My mother loved recounting her mother’s reason for the U.S. athletes’ wins in the 1936 Olympics: “they’re monkeys.”

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

For an unrelated reason, The Bee Gees have a beautiful song named, “How Deep is your Love.” It was a single release but had full release on the album, “Saturday Night Fever.”

Soon a statue for #HITLER?
Charlie #Kirk commemorated by a new sculpture by Timothy Schmalz.

The bronze work will be installed at Ave Maria University, Florida, as a reminder to live dangerously for Christ!
( *yes I checked the authenticity).
Ave Maria - it's a Catholic university.

There were 18 shootings in Chicago this weekend, while under federal occupation.

It’s clear they are deploying into these cities to make drama not to decrease violence.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD

ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS

“Perfect is the Enemy of Good” dovetails with golf swing tinkering and women running for elected office.

Listening to “107 Days” makes clear that Kamala didn’t need to avoid landmines, but question WTF they exist.

IMO, to paraphrase Floyd, 🎼 election consultants put all of their fears into them 🎶

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Just what I needed to breathe more easily. Just an unreal performance in front of a well-behaved audience which simply enjoyed the experience.
