Walking is woke now.
Waiting for availability of the anti-autocracy vaccine.
Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:
Bravo!👏🏼
Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.
Ridiculous.
Please take 15 minutes today and hear the story about the man in the red bandana. May your faith give us faith. 🇺🇸 m.youtube.com/watch?v=S77K...
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
The same folks who are lauding Mr. Kirk’s support for freedom of speech and willingness to debate act to censor Mr. Dowd for expressing a reasonable point. Shameful of @msnbc.com Will things change at msnow?
Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
This is so fucked. Fucking guns.
I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.
The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.
Let's be clear: violence is never okay. Political violence is never okay. Gun violence ruins lives. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk, his family and everyone who was present at this horrific event. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/p...
Condemning another absolutely disgraceful act of gun violence. My thoughts & prayers are w/ Charlie Kirk & his family in this terrible moment & we are all grateful for first responders who immediately jumped into action. We must categorically reject all violence in our society.
Political violence has no place in a just society. This horrible violence at Utah Valley University is incredibly tragic, unacceptable, and should be universally condemned – my thoughts are with the Kirk family.
The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.
Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.
The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

And what constitutes an “immigration stop?”
I wonder why Kavanaugh uses “stop” and “stopped” rather than detain and/or restrain. What does he mean by stopped? What constitutes a reasonable stop?
Welp. Trump is president and the days of Cubans getting favored refugee status are over. They’re being deported.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Undocumented people are gone. The homeless are off the streets and crime has been relegated to ghettos. Trump’s retribution is complete. Diversity, equity and inclusion are anathema. History has been whitewashed. Voter participation is limited. The Project 2025 creators are in control. What’s next?

Awful! Almost daily we discover yet another cruel move by this administration.
What will Putin get from Trump in exchange for a ceasefire? A promise to advance the notion of partitioning Ukraine? Nuclear talks? Promise to do more commerce when the war is settled? Anything?
Are they waiting for Godzilla to step out of the train station?
It was never about a real “invasion” or “emergency.” It was always about getting troops in place to suppress Trump’s critics and advance Trump’s agenda. Remember how Noem said the troops would “liberate” Californians from their chosen elected leadership. This is an intimidation attempt.
