'No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.abcnews.go.com President Donald Trump insists he deserves no blame for divisions in America.

Um, BBC, no in fact there’s been a lot of political violence in the USA, in fact i seem to recall a violent insurrection at the Capitol? If there ever was an illusion of security it disappeared decades ago

Here's a simple script you can use if you need one: "I'm calling to tell the representative that I support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito, and I am encouraging him to support them as well." That's all you need!

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

A good reminder. I don't know if Biden's mental state is a serious cause for concern or not, but we're seeing *exactly* the same playbook that was used on Clinton, down to the "allies are concerned" articles. And Clinton is *still* doing fine.

This is how they did it last time.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Two recent (and wonderful) adult animation shows, Sovereign Reign and Carol & The End of The World, share a nice trait. Namely, each episode feels slightly different, like they tweak the style a bit. Keeps you guessing; you really can’t tell where things are going

You know what? Go on about Biden's age and debate performance. Me? I'll focus on the existential threat that Donald Trump and his minions represent. We all have limited time and energy. Do you really want to spend July and August talking about Biden's infirmity? Do you really think this is helping?

Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

I see some good ideas being suggested, but here's my entry: he can now *commercially* pirate music, since to really be criminal rather than civil, needs to be commercial. So he could set up the White House's official pirate streaming service. And no one could do anything.

Okay, folks, who is putting together the list of the funniest crimes that Biden should be committing between now and election day to highlight the absurdity of today's immunity ruling? Not the stuff like assassinations. Just stuff to make a point.

We're still 7/10 on commission slots for this month! I'd really love to meet (and break!) that goal. Check out some of the ones I've finished so far! The support from everybody has been amazing, and each order gives me a little bit of room to breathe. Thank you! ❤️ nicolablack.com/nikkimaki/

Just voted (primary, state rep). The day is half over and I was voter number 8! Holy democracy batman I think my vote might actually count
