A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

ik there's a lot wrong with cuomo and there's no universe he should win but the single most insane fact is that he is benjamin netanyahu's lawyer

6 months in: Another Middle East war. Another multi-trillion dollar tax cut for rich people. Active duty military on the streets of Los Angeles. Civil service purge of expertise. Vaccine skepticism. 10 million at risk of losing health insurance. Grocery prices still going up. Media complicity.

Morello brought out all the artists at the end to sing along together to “This Land is Your Land,” encouraging everyone to continue to defend L.A. and not back down in the face of state repression. By @abemarquez.bsky.social lataco.com/tom-morello-...

Hard to argue with that.

We are no longer a civil society People who advocate for the killing of others aren’t given positions of power- they’re shunned. We all own a piece of this- but some own it way more than others- and it’s way past the time to call them out.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

@cnn.com Please stop comparing violence on the right and left unless you tell who does 95% of it.

Melissa Hortman was a leader’s leader. I watched her do the right thing over and over again. I’m so glad people are getting a chance to know a little something about our friend Melissa.

😆😆😆

Imagine believing Friendless Urinal Cake swept all seven swing states when he can’t get anyone to come to his birthday party

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

Even before I played it with sound, I KNEW this was Minnesota 🤣💙

If her words don’t make sense to you, you don’t make sense to me.

This is how I feel after today. Thank you to EVERY person participating in any way they can. I feel this feeling creeping back in. #NoKings

Kinda breathtaking when you think about it

Best image of the day:

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

One Minnesota.

Weingarten: Their attacks on public education are relentless and why? Because they fear knowledge. Why do they fear teachers? They fear us because we teach critical thinking… their brand of greed, power, and privilege cannot survive in a democracy of diverse educated citizens

The Lynx held a moment of silence before their game on Saturday, hours after politically-motivated shootings left one Minnesota state lawmaker and her spouse dead and another and his wife injured. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

🥲🤬🇺🇸🤬🥲

People are going to die. Firing the experts and vowing to replace them with vaccine skeptics is dangerous. RFK Jr. must stop undermining America’s public health system and take our lives and our health seriously.

Meiselas: What I find interesting, though, is—he’ll be a keyboard warrior. He’ll say “New-scum this,” “New-scum that.” But when you’re face-to-face with him, when the cameras are on and you’re there together, he becomes a different person. Newsom: Weakness masquerading as strength.

🏆

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

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.

The caminata is underway! 📢 Bringing the spirit of Los Angeles to Sacramento. United for our communities. ✊🏽 #ImmigrantsBelongHere #PathToCitizenship #StopTheRaids

When the National Guard killed 4 protesters at Kent State in 1970, we didn't have Social Media. This is a whole new ball of wax.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

we really need to start identifying these people with villain names so people stop believing they are innovators

Can we stop with all the timid “fascism/authoritarianism is fast-approaching” conversations?? It’s broken into your home, drinking your beer, and sleeping with your spouse. STOP SITTING IN THE CUCK CHAIR!!
