Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Melissa Hortman was the speaker of the Minnesota house in 2023, one of the greatest single sessions for liberal politics in history (I'm not being remotely hyperbolic). Literally millions of people can thank her and others for delivering

Shut the fuck up, dipshit. People will do what they want. You're not as popular as you think you are and neither are those you run in these races that lose pretty much every single time. The majority doesn't have a problem with people who win their elections every two years for decades. Fuck off.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

Please stop making confident pronouncements about these awful shootings that aren’t supported by facts. Local people are pleading with you to stop and wait for actual reporting.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific. Violence like this has no place in a democracy. I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Exactly! 💯 🎯 Gov Walz is the leader of Minnesota, Senator Klobuchar will be there I'm sure! The rest of our leaders most speak of unity and support at this time! Stop bashing our leaders who are at least vocalizing support from their own communities!

Just fucking astonishing. Hakeem Jeffries condemns the attempted assassination of two MN lawmakers and dozens of nutjobs here attack him. As I have pointed out, the lead pundits behind the Schumer and (especially) Jeffries attacks ROUTINELY show themselves to be ignorant of what they did.

Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

Right wing domestic terrorism remains the biggest internal threat to this country. It doesn't matter if president stephen miller hides it from us and the senile occupier in name only has him do so. That's not going to change no matter how many lies they tell or issues they ignore.

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.

I haven't been so appalled by content on Bluesky as I was last night. Dozens of replies explicitly celebrating attacks on civilians in Tel Aviv. If you've convinced yourself that attacking Israeli civilians is a good thing - you're no better than Netanyahu, and you are yourself a genocidal maniac.

This weather on Long Island is absolute fucking garbage. You got to be kidding me. The only good thing about it is that hopefully it ruins his stupid fucking parade. Not like it's close or anything but still.

88% of Jewish women and 79% of all jews voted for Kamala. The Jewish people were instrumental during the civil rights movement and other historic events in black American history. Thats all I’ll say about that. If you have an issue with this post, DO NOT RESPOND, block me please.
