One of the smartest decisions the “No Kings” organizers made was not staging a counter-protest of Trump’s parade in DC. He wanted that confrontation. Instead, millions gathered around the country while Trump’s parade fell far short of attendance goals. It made Trump look small.

Question: When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred a terrorist?

I am surprised the Marines found time to impose themselves on Canada as they are so busy between ‘detaining’ non white veterans who are trying to go to veterans affairs and attending the orange Mussolini s Putinesque military parade. No American military on Canadian soil. #BoycottUSA

the Chinese practice their parades for months, sometimes years - this is not conducive to actual military readiness but it does look good! the sloppiness and half-assedness of this is indicative of both the general vibe of Hegseth's Pentagon and the lack of US tradition here.

A man "impersonating a police officer" does not rule out an actual law enforcement officer. Whenever an Afghan soldier or police officer went rogue, killing Americans in an insider attack, it was described as "a man dressed as an Afghan soldier" or a "man in an Afghan security uniform."

I may not know you, but I know you need to read this. “Consider how often people use ‘Zionist’ as a slur — an echo of Soviet propaganda from the Cold War — and call for the exclusion of Zionists from public spaces. The definition of a Zionist is somebody who supports the existence of Israel.”

I’m heartbroken by last night’s attacks in Minnesota. There is no place for political violence in our country. My thoughts are with the families of Representative Hortman and Senator Hoffman, and with the people of Minnesota during this tragic time.

And one thing right wing talk radio figured out, that they eventually taught the entire right wing infotainment complex, is that repetition trumps being right. Almost every time. When you hear a lie all day every day, even when you eventually hear the truth, that’s just one voice that can’t compete.

Yes, I too would like to discuss the industrial carbon tax for Manitoba's top emitter. Let's discuss raising it so they have a stronger incentive to reduce emissions that burn the planet. Maybe they could help out with paying for our climate refugees displaced by wildfires. #MbPoli #EnergyTransition

Trump sees the U.S.-Israel relationship through the lens of his extreme agenda – and he boycotts Israel when it doesn’t align with his warped values. Trump cannot claim to be an ally of the Jewish community or Israel while ignoring LGBTQ+ Jews and promoting an anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.
