I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

The No Kings marches across the nation we're all participating in today are the opposite of the political violence that occurred in the Minneapolis suburbs overnight. Peaceful protest is the cornerstone of our democratic republic. Take to the streets today! Be bold, be loud!

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

When LA is burning, Trump watches Fox News and threatens to pull emergency funding for existing fires in California. When LA isn't burning, Trump goes on Fox News to announce he is spending MILLIONS on people in uniforms to pretend to stop nonexistent fires in California.

In an act of resistance against Trump, the Smithsonian pushed back after the president claimed he had fired Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery. “All personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the secretary, with oversight by the board,” the institution stated.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Mama's do not allow your children to join the military for the next 4 years. Starve them of resources. My grandkids have been put on notice. If they join, I will disinherit them. If you don't make it clear enough, it may be you or your family they are ordered to shoot.The Comander in Chief is insane

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

Okay. Start with the ones abducting and trafficking people, and denying their rights to freedom of speech and due process.
