“I’m an American citizen,” Brian Gavidia said he told the agent at least three times. Despite his responses, the agent pushed him into a metal gate, put his hands behind his back and asked him what hospital he was born in. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

I believe this alert is missing one or two extremely important words, one being: assassinated.

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

Hey Donald: fuck you. #nokings

The United States of America: No Kings since 1776. Donald Trump: Russian-owned since 1978.

Vance Boelter’s roomate and best friend since 4th Grade says the suspected shooter was a Trump supporter who voted for Trump in this last election. youtu.be/gaiQipc64_M

This simply authoritarian intimidation: a protester is arrested at the #nokings Savannah, GA protest for wearing a surgical mask. While GA law does prohibit wearing masks (w/ only a few exceptions), this is LE creating a scene when there otherwise wouldn't be one. www.threads.com/@kiowagrl69/...

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

No King protest in San Diego. Incredible. 💙👊

The ongoing push away from vaccines is going to make America a global—and contagious— laughingstock. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

About an hour until parade start time in D.C., and there are plenty of prime viewing spots wide open, particularly toward the beginning of the route.

WOW. Estimated 100k in Philly, 200k in new York, City. This is MASSIVE #nokings #fucktrump

These threats were against DEMOCRATIC lawmakers: U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, and State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt, D-Austin, were among the lawmakers set to speak during the protest on Capitol grounds.

A Vance Boelter w/ similar educational timeline as the Minnesota assassin wrote online that he'd attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. I've been there. Here's a quote from founder on wall in lobby.

MSNBC is reporting 200,000 people on the streets in NYC for #NoKings, in the rain. Incredible.

How long before trump and the rest of the far right trash mock these assassinations like they did Paul Pelosi's assault and attempted murder? What with all of the violent rhetoric by the right—broadcast and amplified by Fox News and other RW personalities—this was sadly inevitable.

Vance Boelter is a suspect in the Brooklyn Park shootings of two Minnesota state elected officials and their spouses and is considered to still be in the Twin Cities area looking for a way out. If you see something, say something.

We obtained records showing how an ex-DOGE staffer with no medical experience used AI to identify which VA contracts to kill. “I would never recommend someone run my code and do what it says,” he said. Read more: propub.li/4emGV69

This was always, for me, the biggest tell. They love violence. They revel in it. I’m not one for necessary/sufficient conditions for fascism, but this is one of fascism’s most characteristic features: blood cult

A Native American woman to Border Patrol agents questioning her U.S. citizenship: “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us!”

This is likely why. Note that despite looking handwritten these appear to be a printed image; the lettering is identical.

Minnesota cops are warning people not to attend the local No Kings parade after the targeted shootings of Dem lawmakers Parade organizers: Come anyway. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

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...

I am heartbroken beyond words that Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died in a violent and politically motivated shooting. Melissa was an exceptional public servant. She was smart and funny and so dedicated to making Minnesota work better for all of us.
