Yesterday, a Trump supporter went on an assassination spree targeting Democrats. Today, a GOP Senator mocks their murder. This isn’t politics — it’s depraved moral rot.

One little thing I love about the way people talk about ranked choice voting is that the language of "rank" or "don't rank" feels like it connotes an assumption you're already voting. You were already going to and here's who you should rank. 😉

And I'm sure that's exactly how every major news outlet worth a damn wrote it and featured it as their main headline, right? Right?

It's so amazingly pathetic, like something out of a comedy sketch show. How embarrassing not just for Trump but for the military itself.

It is difficult to imagine any circumstances in which the assassination of one democratic lawmaker and the attempted assassination of another is not fascist violence, calculated to suppress political resistance to a fascist project. At this point I am not going to try.

It is a CHOICE to speculate on negative consequences instead of actually reporting on why the protests are happening in the first place. This is not objective or fair, @nytimes.com, so stop acting all high and mighty as if it is.

almost every article, series, or podcast about trans people/trans care in the nyt centers the voices of cis people when trans people get to speak, they are taken out of context, misrepresented, or called biased activists it's like if you wrote an article about abortion and primarily spoke to men

Hospitals shutting down care in preemptive compliance with the Trump administration is cowardice. All this will do is move care to individual providers where trans youth will not have access to large interdisciplinary teams. It won’t stop care, but it will hurt patients.

It is also unacceptable to threaten to take over a major city with military force and effectively end democratic governance there. That’s why the Senator was there. Let’s not lose sight of that.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Very importantly, it is not a "sign of the rising political tensions," it is "sign of the increasingly authoritarian approach of the Trump administration." Fucking say so, cowards.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

From Sen. @padilla.senate.gov's office: Padilla “is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations … He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed.”
