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.

Reporters say that the Minnesota assassin is a Donald Trump supporter and a fierce opponent of reproductive rights. Mike Lee says he is a Marxist. For busy social media users, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I’m just going to keep saying this as loudly as I can. The Republicans are waging war against America and are going to continue to invade blue cities until they have taken them over completely. Once boots are on the ground, they will never leave.

Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a declaration that we ALL deserve to live openly, authentically, and safely Especially now as we find strength in the courage of those who led before us, stand with our LGBTQ friends, and commit to a future where no one has to hide or be afraid Happy Pride! 🌈❤️

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.

These protests are massive and they're only starting. Honestly, corporations need to WAKE UP and see Target losing about $20 Billion since announcing DEI rollbacks as a ghost of christmas future. If people are risking getting tear gassed. They'll definitely vote with their wallet.

Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

There is no reason to be concerned about the birthrate other than racism. Humanity as a whole is above replacement levels, and we could stand to reduce the population. Age cohort problems could easily be solved through liberalized immigration. This is literally the stupidest thing to care about.

Didn’t watch a ton of it. But the parade seemed embarrassingly low energy. Not saying I’m expecting it but cld say Hegs getting canned over it. He’s definitely yelling at someone tonight.

There's been a lot of debate about whether the #NoKings coalition made the right decision staying out of DC, but early returns would seem to suggest they made the right call. The split screen is going to send a very clear message to our political actors.

I’m frequently asked: what’s the point of peaceful protests like #NoKings? It’s a chance to show civic strength and consolidate people power. They create collective identity and build capacity for social change. Done right, they can expand participation and mobilize support for longer term efforts.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

🚨 1/2 If you’re in downtown LA: LAPD has issued a dispersal order and is deploying tear gas & flash bangs. Protesters have been peaceful all day. Please stay safe, move away from danger, and look out for one another. Document everything if you can. We see you. We’ve got your back. #NoKings
