The right glorify guns. Celebrate an 80-year-old being attacked with a hammer. Hunt down a Vice-President, having brought their own gallows. Support violent policing. Use the military against their own people. The left can't be accused of being woke AND bloodthirsty. Kirk's killer wasn't leftist.
This is the Robinson family's Senator. Surprise. Surprise.

Is he going to be terminated from his job for making such a claim on tv? Oh, right, that only happens on the left.
I thought the same thing! Why does the left hold their people far more accountable for their words and actions than the right?
I donāt knowāthatās actual CASH in his pocket, not billion$ on paper.
Probably protesting that CKās assassin isnāt a liberal after all.
Two days ago, two young men -- both white -- picked up guns to kill people at Utah Valley University and Evergreen High School in Colorado. The Minneapolis school shooter was also raised as a white boy. What's in the water? (Other than the guns of course.) #FreedomFromGunViolence
Squishy Perspective
Itās not āspeaking evilā of the dead when the words came directly from the person. They are trying to change the personās own narrative and history.
'Melissa Hortman was a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota, brutally murderedāalongside her husband and her dogāby a conservative activist just 12 weeks ago. Her name deserves to be said in this moment.' endlessurgency.com/p/why-wont-r...
Speaking evil of the dead??Iāll add to your comment: āIf quoting him is āspeaking evilā maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.ā AND SPOKE THOSE EVIL THINGS WHEN HE WAS LIVING. .
Took me a minute to figure out WIWI is Was It Worth It? That could be a trending hashtag.
Well, to be fair it should say āalleged killerā since he hasnāt been tried and convicted or pleaded guilty. Also, I think it should have also mentioned heās from a CHRISTIAN Republican family since his dad is a minister (and retired police). Otherwise, perfect!

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.
I hope the industrial painter didnāt vote for Trump. If he did, he deserves to be negatively impacted by his vote.
How do you know? He might. But just canāt be honest with himself much less anyone else.
Heād probably ask if he could tee it up and use his driver so he could get it to home plate.
He did grow up in conservative Orange County CA so not surprising. Still appalling.
Zero self-reflection
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Not only is the National Guard doing menial tasks like picking up garbage in DC Trump and Hegseth are screwing them out of their housing allowance and health insurance by putting them on 29 day orders They need 30 days for benefits Trump always screws people over. Even the military #ProudBlue
* Your name is Donald Trump.

Maybe heās planning to return Alaska to Russia and spilled the beans.
Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
Why āor?ā They should both be charged with numerous ethics violations!
Exactly!
Integrity of the judiciary is their concern? This is gaslighting of the highest order - especially when they are proposing Emil Bove (who lied to Congress and told attorneys to fuck the judiciary) for a federal judgeship
Lots of people tell themselves they'd be different than everyone else in history... because they would be able to clearly see the bad guys. Yet countless journalists and professional people still use Twitter/X.
Was she on vacation in Greece with Ted Cruz and his family? Or were they both just randomly on a 72+ hour response to a critical disaster?
āAnd so I think, generally, I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was.ā (After speaking with a reporter, he was promptly fired ā another government employee heading to the private sector, I guess.) 4/
āI think we have a bias as people coming from the tech industry where we worked at companies, you know, such as Google, Facebook ā these companies that have plenty of money, are funded by investors and have lots of people kind of sitting around doing nothing,ā he told NPR. 3/
He expected that as the government cleared out deadwood employees, heād write the software to do their jobs more efficiently. To his surprise, Lavingia found himself surrounded by people who ālove their jobsā and were motivated by a sense of mission. 2/
Wow. This is a pretty telling comment by a former DOGE employee from this NYT article www.nytimes.com/2025/07/09/o... Redundancy isnāt always the same as waste. Thatās a lesson that Sahil Lavingia, a young digital creator, learned during his work with DOGE. 1/
This is disgusting and a farce as far as what the Supreme Courtās job is, which is to be a non-partisan arbiter of justice as it relates to the Constitution.
Of course, qualitatively, the lower-court injunctions in the Biden cases were almost entirely horseshit, while the injunctions in the Trump cases are almost entirely slam dunks Making this even worse than the numbers would indicate
Yes. Yes they will.
it's amusing to me to see Trumpers banging on about Bondi orchestrating an Epstein coverup while refusing to devote an extra thought to who she would be trying to protect
Iām not sure if thatās a lot of work or barely any since maga doesnāt believe in facts. Well, except alternative facts, which also arenāt facts.
š me neither
I donāt believe any of the Democrats voted for Trumpās disastrous bills or tariffs so I think you meant replacing the REPUBLICANS who are up for reelection.
SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: āWe don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictatorā āWe take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent
This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. Heās a sick fuck.
We wonāt amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are āsick of mindā and āhate our countryā immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.
When historians look back at this moment, they will see a regime attacking the democratic process with threats and violence, and a massive display of support for democracy. What will they see when they look for its coverage in the press?
The 23 Most Clever Signs From The "No Kings" Protests Thank you Buzz Feed for blurring faces www.buzzfeed.com/michaelabram...
#NoCrownForTheClown Peacefully protesting from my car today!
@msnbc.com Add my husband and me to the protest count. On the way to our grandsonās graduation party so had to opt for a peaceful traveling protest while sitting in the ferry lineup in Kingston WA!!

Listen to Obama: "I'm asking you to believe not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours." We are the ones that we have been waiting for. #NoKings
There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
It doesn't matter whether he was arrested. He was assaulted a US Senator was assaulted and you can't tell me that Kristi Noem did not know who he was and the minute he said who he was she should've intervened and stopped her thugs from manhandling him.
Thank you, Congresswoman. Keep doing Texas proud & fighting the good fight! š¤ As horrifying as the images of a US Senator being cuffed & manhandled are, I am more aghast that this happened in the context of Puppy Killer Noem ranting about "liberating" AMERICAN CITIES. Liberating! From democracy? š³
If this is how they treat sitting members of Congress, mayors, and judgesāpeople simply trying to serveāhow do you think theyāll treat you?!? This is deliberate. And itās all about control and intimidation toward those who dare hold them accountable. Enough is enough. (2/2)
BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: āIf this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."
This is utterly disgusting. We ALL need to be out there PEACEFULLY protesting this fascist, corrupt, authoritarian administration that is a domestic enemy of we the people and our constitution. fb.watch/AaYlbvXSNa/?...
This was the mistake of Civil War Reconstruction; embracing the ābrothersā we battled, let them wave their flag, create laws to keep a shadow Confederacy and build monuments to their traitorous heros. Thatās what Germany didnāt allow after WWII. No flags, no statues, no nostalgia for the Nazis.
ABC News is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."
Interesting back in the Oprah days I never imagined Dr. Phil would come out as a fascist. I guess you never know a manā¦
For those of you who can't attend June 14th protests in person, you can still participate in an online protest. š #ProudBlue #FuckTrumpsBirthdayParade
This... Sadly ššš
This is a really good question. Yeh. Why is that?
Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map
No sympathy. FAFO.
āThree things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.ā
This.
Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. Iām a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...
A lead weight. Attached to a rope I would lasso around his neck. Ok, so I donāt know how to lasso. But I can dream.
Heās stealing our: Healthcare Childcare Social Security Medicare Medicaid Food assistance FEMA Private Data Affordable Groceries Federal institutions Truth. Who could have seen it coming? #RepublicanTHEFT
This cannot be real. Or can it?!? So hard to know anymore. But, Pam, if you said this ridiculous thing, please tell meāwhat is the criminal code this would be charged under? Because I do not think any law exists that itās illegal to make fun of or call the president names. He does it ALL THE TIME.
The big Republican talking point that will always be amplified is that Joe Biden was spending government money like a drunken sailor, while the reality was that these expenditures were prudent investments in our country and our economy. And it was working.
Tax the billionaires and get rid of tariffs

While the proposed cuts to our healthcare in the Felonās horrific budget bill would be devastating, whatās not being discussed enough is the fact that it would take power away from Congress and give it to him. Practically free reign to do anything, anytime. The Senate needs to say NO! #ProudBlue
Next Republicans are going to let 7 year olds vote! Gotta stack that vote.
I donāt know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldnāt be run like one. Itās a serviceāfor the people.
Gawd theyāre smart!! š¤£
Viciousāa word that applies to Trump more so than many other evil people. Joe Biden NOT being one of them.
"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didnāt give a shit about them.
#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Itās the simple āYes or Noā questions they seem to have a problem with.
No sympathy.
Thou shalt not call yourself āthe law and order partyā when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.
My family spent months traveling all 50 states beginning in late 2001. While traveling through the South I was absolutely appalled by the confederate statues, flags, etc. It felt to me, a white woman, like a huge āF*k Youā to the face of every black person living there. Totally disgusting culture.
