The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It seems likely Trump raped little girls, but the GOP was fine with that so long as it gave them permission to strip food and healthcare from needy Americans

Six months ago I wrote this post about “the next terrorist attack.” I republish it now (lightly updated) because my fear of this scenario has recently grown much greater.

The GOP’s Utah redistricting power-play might be its most egregious yet. Not because the most seats are at stake — only one is at stake in Utah. But because of the lengths it goes to put raw political advantage ahead of respect for the will of voters. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/thi...

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The men who are calling for civil war, for the military to attack their enemies, for summary execution of liberals or Democrats - THEY DO NOT ABHOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE. They were not pushed into this. They WANT violence, and are seizing every opportunity to agitate for violence.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.
