Hard to argue with that.

💔

statement from the Hortmans' two children on how they would like their parents to be remembered:

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I know you can’t stand either one of these clowns, but please sit back and enjoy Tucker Carlson steamroll Ted Cruz over his Iran ignorance. It’s like watching two snakes fight and still rooting for the venom. Clearly, Tuckums planned this, and Cancun Cruz walked right into his trap.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

A disgrace.

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

No one should have to face violence or death for standing up for what they believe in. Here is the late Melissa Hortman, eight years ago standing up to the patriarchy in support of People of Color, specifically women. We carry her legacy. May she and her husband rest in peace. 🕊️

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

Thank you Williamaburg ❤️🇺🇸💙 #nokingsday

Boelter seems to be a fair representation of how political violence melds with mental disturbances in lone wolves. Those, like Trump, who use public platforms to incite violence make it more likely that mentally unwell people will channel their feelings of rage toward specific political figures.

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

The roommate of Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter, responding to MAGA lies that he’s a Democrat: “He would be offended if people called him a Democrat,” he told CBS News, adding that Boelter “was a Trump supporter, voted for Trump,” and was happy Trump won the 2024 election.

More to the point, it's news media that ignore the GOP's own age (and sanity) issues while giving Tapper space and airtime. Republicans ignore their own age issues in pursuit of Biden’s frailty www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Fascists who have held military marches for their birthday: Kim Jong Un - North Korea Kim Jong il - North Korea Kim il sung - North Korea Joseph Stalin - Soviet Union Adolf Hitler - Germany Saddam Hussein - Iraq Donald trump (orange felon) - USA This says everything.

The wife of a man suspected of killing a Democratic lawmaker and her husband was detained in a traffic stop after police discovered a weapon, ammunition, cash, and passports in the trunk of her car. Jenny Boelter was stopped by officers in Onamia, Minnesota, around 10 a.m. on Saturday

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Bravo this sign.

Don't be so worried about the future that you forget to live the present.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Minnesotans were told to stay home, an assassin was at large. We did not bow down. #NoKings

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

St Paul Minnesota #nokings WE WILL NOT STAY HOME WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED

Sweetness overload. 🥹🥹🥹 She didn't say a thing when she found her plate empty, just waited patiently.

Favorite new chant just dropped NO KINGS NO CROWNS WE THE PEOPLE WONT BACK DOWN

puny parade vs millions for No Kings. Trump the loser once again

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Hmmmm . . . I wonder how the Minnesota assassin might have had access to a police uniform, a police badge, and a police cruiser. Are we *sure* he was "impersonating" a police officer?

Watch the media today to get a feel for whether burning a Waymo is considered more newsworthy than shooting a state Senator.

Two phrases that need to be retired: “We are better than this.” (We’re not.) The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

I have thought about this guy’s comment for almost five years now: “when do we get to use the guns” Ruling Republicans haven’t merely denigrated their opponents for years, they’ve gleefully nurtured a violent, malignant political culture. www.cnn.com/videos/polit...

Thousands in Evanston.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
