This is beyond a 'theory' now. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Los Angeles #NoKings

You can draw a straight line between reckless rhetoric like the comments from the Speaker of the House earlier this week and the horrific political violence that just occurred in Minnesota.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

This is my favorite photo of President Obama. Smiling and giggling with babies at the window. Be kind to each other #ObamaAppreciationDay

“Two people familiar with the matter identified the suspect being sought as 57-year-old Vance Boelter.”

holy shit this thread. 🫡

The @startribune.com has lifted its paywall on its coverage of the lawmakers being fatally shot in Minnesota. Link below: startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Holy sh*t! Protesters are lined up for a mile in the small town of Geneva, Illinois for the No Kings rally!

No kings. No tyrants. Just the people. Scenes from Unity Park in #GreenvilleSC where the #NoKings protest roared alongside 1,600+ cities nationwide. @50501movement.bsky.social @iusc.bsky.social

I’m in LA and have hey have closed EVERY exit on the 101 to downtown. We can’t even get to the protest.

NO KINGS in Long Beach- at least 5,000 people

On the Ben Franklin Parkway, they keep coming and coming

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters fill the streets of Philadelphia for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: FOX 29 Philadelphia)

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

Philadelphia’s #NoKings event has started and you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Jf...

Chardon, Ohio, population 5242 in 2020 census, had approximately 400 people show up in the rain. #nokings

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

Please, please, please go to your local NO KINGS protest today. 🙏

#NoKings #ATL

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fire her ass.

Can report a strong turnout at our local No Kings rally. Lots of American flag waving and supportive horn honking. Many homemade signs, some indignant, some witty. One that seemed particularly McLean appropriate: “If only Kamala had won, we’d all be at brunch.”

Call the police if you think the police are at your door...police reform is going so well.

This is what leads to assassinations.

There are few times I am at a loss for words. Today is one of those days. I’m mourning the devastating loss of my friend Speaker Melissa Hortman and her devoted husband Mark Hortman.

I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

100% THIS! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

A Minnesota state representative and her husband were just shot and killed, and a state senator and his wife were shot and wounded in an "act of targeted political violence" and what is the violence-stoking so-called “president” focused on? A fucking vanity parade.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

As a psychologist, truth.

thank god.

Reminder to the US Marines in Los Angeles: It is unlawful to obey a unlawful order.

Vets occupy capital. No to fascist parades

Two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by a man impersonating a police officer. The suspect: a white male with brown hair, dressed like a cop. 📌 Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, along with their spouses, were shot in overnight attacks in Champlin and Brooklyn Park.

Exactly. This.

Sorry for anyone living in DC, but a lot of us have been lighting candles and praying to the universe that tomorrow is full of heavy winds, torrential rain, and enough lightning to take out the orange shitler with one strike.

Minnesota legislators Senator John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, along with their spouses, were shot by someone who was impersonating a police officer. The MAGA rhetoric is out of control, and that’s why things like this happen.

Shameful.
