The revolutionary words in the Declaration of Independence is that "ALL men are created equal, with certain inalienable rights." However flawed the application, those words are clear. When they stop being true for any one person, then they are no longer rights, but merely privileges.

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. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

These are the ones raising temps & igniting conflict. They come out in their Sarajevo cosplay & mow down everything in their path w/impunity, including unarmed harmless ppl, screaming like banshees.

For those claiming protests don’t mean anything… How do you think movements are built, fueled, sustained, & grown? How do you prove the spirit of resistance is loud, proud, present, & powerful? How do you prove democracy is loved, valued, & worth fighting for? This IS what democracy looks like.

Yes. For decades they have been pushing the narrative that liberals are traitors, and abortion rights is equal to the Holocaust. When some anti-choice nutter snaps and murders someone, this blood is on the hands of the right wing.

NEW: In the city where US troops are turning on US citizens, an uprising. This is LA right now. Thousands protesting against Trump, authoritarianism and fascism. “These numbers are absolutely overwhelming downtown Los Angeles.” - MSNBC #NoKings #50501Movement

Its always best to take a beat and wait until things are confirmed, esp. when the new is awful.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.
