Pivot to “unity” is going great

Kari Lake welcomes the crowd but then says she takes it back. "I don't welcome everyone" in the arena. She then calls out the media at the top of the arena. #RNC

“Nobody seems to have language to say: We abhor, reject, repudiate, and punish all political violence, even as we maintain that Trump remains himself a promoter of such violence, a subverter of American institutions, and the very opposite of everything decent and patriotic.“ #giftarticle

Two months ago Greg Abbott pardoned a murderer who texted a friend "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" then drove into a BLM protest in Austin and killed a protester. The universal response from conservatives to the pardon was "Yeah! Woo-hoo!" Now they say liberals should turn down the rhetoric

As a staunch opponent of political violence, I greatly prefer when national leaders respond to it by condemning violence and expressing concern for victims (image 1) rather than encouraging violence and laughing at victims (image 2).

Nadav Eliyahu, Reuters. I believe this is rather spontaneous, and a direct response to Bibi preparing the ground to blow up the hostages deal.

So I hesitated on posting this, but because of the danger this threat poses, I feel like it Has to be seen. Trump is openly calling his followers to arm up and go into liberal areas to not just disrupt the vote but do what appears to be violence. This is an extremely dangerous step he’s making

Really something that Jewish establishment leaders will give a raging antisemite who happens to support Israel the podium but will call Jewish anti-war and anti-apartheid groups antisemites/hate groups. Very clear that among some leaders, Israel matters more than Jews.

It's gotta be so demoralizing working for the New York Times. You spend days diligently re-reporting a week-old regionally published article you're pretending doesn't already exist only to open the op-ed section and see "Mongrel Sterilization Is in the Constitution" by Trevor M. Swastika.
