The problem with "where have you been" responses to people's rising political concerns is that we should be encouraging people to become politically active rather than scolding them upon their arrival.

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

I can't stop thinking about how Trump would eliminate our free, public weather service, NOAA. It's an institution that goes back 53 years and protects Americans everyday with warnings for tornados, thunderstorms and more. That's the Project 2025 plan. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

Every time a story comes out that a violent boy or man was bullied in school, I really wish they’d talk to the girls and women who had to be around that guy. Killings are rarely a first act of violence.

kind of telling that a registered republican tries to assassinate the republican nominee for president who tried to murder his own republican vice president and the republican response is that democrats should calm the fuck down. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

Stop telling us the political rhetoric is becoming too violent if you’re too cowardly to mention who, exactly, is making it so.

absolutely brilliant. the cataloging of violent imagery from the right is incredible. i mean, we all know this, but it’s striking to see it in one paragraph.

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Republicans, led by Trump, say any violent crime committed by an immigrant is a reflection on all immigrants But, to them, a violent crime committed by a young white man with an assault weapon is always just an isolated act that means nothing, certainly doesn't reflect on gun owners

I’m an actual pacifist. I want all guns banned. I just need the left to do less “violence is bad even when it happens to Trump” and more “this is the world Trump wants the rest of us to live in.”

The GOP, who tell us we're too quick in "politicizing" gun violence when there is a mass shooting, are now politicizing this shooting, attacking Dems and Biden (for publicly criticizing Trump & his agenda), when they’re the ones who want everyone to have weapons of war. It's opportunistic and sick.

Counterpoint: the only way to end criminal violence is to successfully prosecute violent extremists.

Impressive chutzpah from Sen. Mike Lee! "We’ve got to take the political temperature down ... We call on President Biden to immediately order that all federal criminal charges against President Trump be dropped, and to ask the governors of New York and Georgia to do the same."

Feels appropriate for this Caturday
