Republican president was shot by a Republican because of an environment of normalized violence that Republicans insist we all live in, and somehow this means that both sides need to tone it all the way down, which in practice means that Democrats and only Democratic need to stop talking entirely.

I saw A Quiet Place: Day 1 yesterday and liked it. If you pay attention to Palestine, you can't watch it and not see how similar it was on the ground in Manhattan to Gaza after the attacks (especially the scene after initial impact). The dust, the running and screaming, the bodies. Felt very strange

Mike Johnson also walked off the convention stage when his teleprompter fritzed. These are the same guys saying Biden should resign because he uses a teleprompter.

Dear pundits: Please proceed with caution when invoking Lincoln's 1st Inaugural Address, and his appeal to the "better angels of our nature." Remember, it didn't work! Quoting an appeal to unity that was followed by 4 years of civil war should give you pause about the power of such appeals. 🗃️

Do people say LRP here...? Anyhow, regarding that, I doubt that person would have said something that makes them and the "we" contained there look like lazy, privileged, self-centered pieces of shit if their name were attached, so maybe it's better to have this ammo to get people to vote elsewhere

I want Axios to give voters the fucking name of this loser
A senior House Democrat says efforts to replace Biden at the top of the ticket have stopped because, “We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."
Trump rally shooting upends congressional Democrats' crisis over Biden's candidacywww.axios.com Rep. Dean Phillips said it would be "unpatriotic and unprincipled" to focus on anything besides the shooting.

Saw someone remark how the Dems are about to show more compassion for Trump than 40,000 dead Palestinians and it's so true.

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. Full Essay: www.the-reframe.com/gambling-in-...

Wear a mask. Even if you just start popping one on at the store, on the metro, in meetings at work, at your job when someone else is in a mask. Any additional masking slows the spread and makes it more possible for people like me to be in public places. You don't have to be perfect, every bit helps.

AG Garland: “We will not tolerate violence of any kind, and violence like this is an attack on our democracy. The Justice Department will bring every available resource to bear to this investigation.” The U.S. tolerates violence of every kind every f-ing day of the week apnews.com/live/electio...

Saw a comment, "Liberals are supposed to lead with compassion." Sure, okay. Then stop genocide? End police brutality? Enact gun control? Not sure why compassion suddenly comes into it when you're worried about the far-right cult accusing you of wishing a certain someone were unalive...

"[...] the idea that there’s political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of, is just not appropriate." - Biden when the dictator-wannabe running against him gets shot but not when police brutalize protesters. "Unheard of"? 😐 edition.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Good demo at Temmabashi. I got on the megaphone and talked about that boy who got shot dead because I can’t stop thinking about how evil it is. #FreePalestine

Boycott M&H Distillery. "Please Drink Responsibly" says their website. The responsible thing to do is to boycott Israeli whiskey. They even have a fucking "Bring them home now" Hamas hostage timer running on their homepage. #BoycottIsrael #FreePalestine mh-distillery.com

I don't actually give a fuck about Biden's Blue Screen moments at the debate I care that he's doing this shit
"The Biden administration will resume shipping 500lb bombs to Israel but will continue to hold back on supplying 2,000lb bombs over concerns about their use in densely populated Gaza, according to a a US official." what's left to say, really? www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Israeli forces fatally shot 14-year-old Ghassan Gharib Hussein Zahran in the back while he played with friends yesterday in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers and soldiers attacked Palestinian residents who tried to reach Ghassan while he bled out. Defense for Children International.

This demo was put on by JCP supporters, but the topic was all Palestine and Japanese complicity. Three people worked the mic and they were all really good at continuing to say (important, informative) things at a steady pace. There were also people handing out Palestine info sheets.
