I can give you my hot take. I believe this is because these folks do have some sense of morality. Even if they have learned to suppress and ignore it. They know that what progressives are angry about is actually fucked up. Whereas what conservatives yell about isn't actually a problem.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

Melissa Hortman was funny and smart and caring and a damn good leader. Her life should not have ended in such an awful and violent way. How do we govern and organize and do this work in a world without her? I don't understand how there even is a world without her in it.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

1. On Wednesday, Massachusetts House Democrats passed a bill that could ban transgender people from sports - the first blue state to pass such a measure through a chamber. They used a procedural motion to shield vulnerable Democrats from taking a vote. Subscribe to support my journalism.
