As a woman and a lesbian, I completely understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of Charlie's hatred, and I do not condone his words. I also believe that change can't always happen through completely non-violent means. That said, no one should be killed for expressing their beliefs. (1/2)

Charlie Kirk was a hateful bigot. But he was a human being, and he didn’t deserve to be killed for his beliefs. Do I think his beliefs were dangerous, misguided, violent, and immoral? Absolutely. But meeting hate with more hate just fuels even more hate.

Yes, but the Christians and Jews want to pretend that *only* the Muslims are terrorists, conveniently forgetting about the Crusades and the current genocide in Gaza. In numbers, Christians take the cake on war/murder/terrorism.

This is what I keep trying to explain to people. Half of our citizens are literally thousands of miles away from DC. I live "relatively" close in the Midwest, and it would still take a day to get there, and if everyone was storming the capital, I wouldn't get far on our highway system.

(2/2) My point is that the Constitution has to be interpreted by judges and that takes involves time-consuming processes. Yes, Americans are terrified, but we're also hoping (while hedging our bets with protests, etc) that law and order will prevail.

The problem with the Constitution is that is is extremely broad and vague. It says nothing about concentration camps and the word "slave" isn't written anywhere in the original Constitution, although there are provisions that reference/protect/abolish slavery in the amendments. (1/2)

Some SCOTUS Justices very much do care about the Constitution. But the key is that lower courts are preventing a significant amount of Trump's illegal mandates/behavior. So, no, it's not denial. It's Americans deciding where to feel our anxiety and where to trust the systems that are still working.

This is one of the most horrifying articles I've ever read. The ideology of goons like these is spreading, and we have to understand what they believe in order to properly combat it.

Unless the Constitution is amended, he is not eligible to run again. Presidents have a limit of 2 terms.

I don't know how Zelenskyy hasn't absolutely unloaded (verbally) on Trump during one of these meetings. His patience and tact should be studied.

While I agree that is the most likely scenario, Dems need to be absolutely flooding the news cycle so the cruelty of Trump/MAGA/Reps is on full display on the news 24/7.

If she sets up a live stream while making those 911 calls, it won’t take 5 min before it’s national news and local law enforcement is forced to come out or be eviscerated by the nation.

Let’s be honest, MAGA has no clue that β€œpassersby” (and not β€œpasserbys”) is the plural of passerby.

Ok, but the point still stands that from the perspective of girls/women who have literally been raped, call it RAPE. Because they aren’t β€œfucking” kids. They are β€œraping” them.

I can’t believe I need to explain this, but two 13yo kids having consensual sex, while not great, is ok. An adult having sex with a 13yo is rape. Period. Even the law defines statutory rapeβ€”β€œconsensual” sex between an adult and a minorβ€”as rape.

Trump didn't even get half of the vote. He has also admitted multiple times that he rigged the election. The vast majority of us want him gone, and I don't just mean out of office.

Some might wonder why it matters. As a woman who has been the victim of rape in which the perp said he was just "fucking" me, I can tell you that it matters. Millions of women understand this distinction because we have heard men use certain words to try to downplay their predatory behavior.

I don't necessarily think it was meant as a joke either, but we need to use one--and only one--word to describe his behavior: rape. Fucking in and of itself isn't illegal or predatory, but rape is 100% of the time.

What he's really saying is he doesn't want anyone who is even remotely economically disadvantaged to the point that showing up in-person to vote would be difficult to have a say in democracy. I wonder what the demographics of economically disadvantaged folks are??

In all seriousness though, any data about restaurant reservations must be controlled for major conferences and such that are happening in DC because a one-time surge over a 3-day conference doesn't really mean anything.
