The idea that political violence has anything to do with partisanship is foolish. Nearly every major incident of political violence over the past decade has originated from the far-right. If it was partisanship alone, we'd see wine moms taking shots at MTG and Johnson but that never happens.

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

turns out he was in a taped off area he wasn’t supposed to be, they briefly detained him and he was quickly released, a pretty simple mistake. it is why you don’t deploy the military to do this, but is not the entrance to the cool zone.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

People on this website really say "liberal" withe same sneering tone of Rush Limbaugh and I think it would reward them to reflect on that fact and what it might imply more broadly.

This is a team sport, so I hesitate to take credit for anything, but I am claiming ownership of the initial popularization of the idea that Seattle’s Design Review Process Is an Absolute Farce™. I’m glad this fucked up program is going to be buried in a shallow grave.

As the Middle East devolves into regional war, remember, this is literally Trump's fault. He's the single person who decided to end the Iran Nuclear deal and if he hadn't there wouldn't be war.

Afterwards, Sen.

It remains so funny to me how many people who claim to be socialists thought the Biden Administration was a disaster for the working class when the objective truth is it was a disaster for the bosses.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

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.
