Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL www.bbc.com/news/article...

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

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.

the accuracy of this

Over 11 million people protested yesterday. If we can bring that same energy to the ballot box next November, we’ll take back the House, the Senate, and finally hold this administration accountable. Will you chip in to help us engage Gen Z in the fight? secure.actblue.com/donate/futur...

The white South Africans "refugees" are learning the same lesson that anyone who trusted Donald Trump has learned, just more quickly.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Trump’s racism knows no bounds. He said Sen Alex Padilla “looked like an illegal” while Padilla was handcuffed & clearly identified. That’s not a mistake—it’s a full-throated endorsement of racial profiling, state violence, & white supremacy. Keep calling out his vile rhetoric. tinyurl.com/y5ed6axt

Worth noting that Tea Party protests were over theoretical, imaginary, future forms of oppression, not anything happening in the, what's it called, real world. About the closest they came to first-hand oppression was some folks were allowed to get married and poor people received healthcare.

Home is here. Dreamers enrich our communities, contribute to our economy, and make our country better. They’re Americans in every way that counts.   For 13 years, DACA has changed lives. We must continue fighting for permanent protections and pathways to citizenship.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! #NoKings

NO KINGS in Roseville, CA Great crowd and supportive motorists!

🧵

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Another straightforward violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. In a democratic society which valued accountability and the rule of law, this would produce impeachment of the executive branch officials and discharge of the military chain of command.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

If anyone wants to politely tell Mike Lee’s staff the real political identity of this shooter, his DC office number is 202-224-5444.

Given the fact that Republicans are actively pushing the insane lie that the deaths are on *Democrats’ hands* it really is important that political leaders and the press make this case clearly.

Not too shabby. Now we build on it. www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-...

Since this article was published in 2018, billionaires have increased their wealth by $7 trillion, and an estimated 254,000 people in the U.S. have died because they couldn’t access or afford healthcare. Healthcare shouldn’t be for-profit.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

This is your daily reminder that Republicans are planning to cut Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP to hand tax breaks to billionaires. Don’t get distracted. Help me spread the word.

Big turnout in Roseville, CA - largest protest I’ve ever seen here.

“ no kings” rally in Roseville, Ca was much bigger than previous rallies. The positive response by cars passing away was most encouraging. We need to continue to raise our voices and show our presence.

ROSEVILLE, Ca SHOWED UP!! #NoKings

We are heartbroken by the senseless killing of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. From day one, Speaker Emerita Hortman made gun violence prevention a top priority, working alongside Moms Demand Action volunteers.
