luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

The unfortunate truth is most of the mainstream media is owned by oligarchs or corporations who don’t want to say anything that dump would not like. He has the whole government to attack any individual or corporation and damage their bottom line. The money is more important important than truth.
👀👀👀 I can't help but see a pattern here.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said today that Americans must choose whether Charlie Kirk's death becomes "the end of a dark chapter in our history or the beginning of a darker chapter. This is our moment: Do we escalate or do we find an off-ramp? It's a choice. And every one of us gets to make that choice.”
Nancy Pelosi’s husband was brutally attacked in an act of political violence. She never called for revenge. The left didn’t seek violence against the right. She’s urging the opposite: calm the rhetoric, listen to our better angels, and stop the slide into chaos.
Great idea!

Mitch McConnell kept the republicans from voting to convict when the house impeached Trump. Mitch McConnell is responsible for the monster he he didn’t convict.
Brazil’s former wannabe Dictator Bolsonaro has officially been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for inciting an insurrection after losing an election. And that’s how it’s done, Brazil understood the assignment unlike the United States.
The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States. Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?

Until the FBI apprehends the shooter and investigates the shooter and his motives, we do not know why he was killed.

Kirk got part of his wish. Millions of people including children watched him being executed on the internet and other places. Political assassinations are unAmerican and unacceptable. Period! What an irony.
Charlie Kirk fetishized about executing criminals with a streamlined process. The executions should be televised and he thought that kids should watch them as a sort of initiation. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

None of us living at that time in our history will ever forget 9/11
Never Forget this day and all the victims in NY/DC/PA: 9/11/01. As a New Yorker, who was in Manhattan on that tragic day, I know I will never forget how that whole day unfolded. 🙏💜🙏💜🙏

Why didn’t we go through the legal process and jail dump before he got reelected? We voted a “dictator on the first day “ back into office knowing what he was going to do. I hope the non MAGAs out there are as concerned about the future of our country as I am.

RFK Jr is intent on letting any virus, TB or any other deadly disease kill as many people as possible. He believes in survival of the fittest. He is intentionally stopping all research that would lead to life saving vaccines. He’s delusional and is happy waiting to deny life saving vaccines to US
Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

The Supreme Court just made it easier to racially profile our neighbors. Instead of targeting violent criminals, masked agents are chasing workers through Home Depot parking lots. That’s not justice. That’s terror.

Congrats to James Walkinshaw on his special election victory to the US House. He absolutely crushed it. He'll be representing Virginia's CD-11. James Walkinshaw (D) 74.9% Stewart Whitson (R) 25.1%
GREAT NEWS! Democrats add one more vote in Congress after the Virginia special election. 💙💙

We hope all states will follow the lead of Massachusetts. The blue states will try to make laws that protect their citizens .
Massachusetts is the first state (so far) to require insurers to cover vaccinations recommended by the state’s department of public health. This was announced last week as part of the northeast public health coalition with other states like CT, PA, RI.
My talk at Garrett College last night focused mostly on a 5-year-old American citizen and her American mother and grandmother, imprisoned by the Nazis in WW2. They were then separated for almost 10 years. Still think it can't happen here? www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4yP... #Holocaust #TeachTheShoah

RFK Jr is a quack with the power to kill millions of Americans.
No surprise. RFK Jr wants to appoint people to #ACIP who want #COVID-19 vaccines taken off the market. Reminder that ACIP also sets which #vaccines insurers will pay for. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
I'm so devastated by what is happening in this country that I'm finding it hard to post anything positive or garden related. We are trapped in a living nightmare, and no one is coming to save us! It's so utterly depressing and traumatic having the orange agent fucktard for President. 😭 #fucktrump

We have criminals in the White House who care about the billionaires that back the MAGA legislature., have no honor or integrity whatsoever.
Our country made solemn promises to provide refuge to Afghan allies who stood with our troops when it mattered. I heard from constituents in my district that an Afghan man who supported our troops was arrested and detained despite having papers. The people who support our troops deserve better.

Your time as head of the Supreme Court has aspired to take us back into the dark ages. You will not be seen by history as someone fit to lead the Court.

Sonia Sotomayer has it exactly right. Thank goodness we have 3 Supreme Court justices with integrity.
I was grew up in 1950’s Jim Crow Alabama. Many if you have never known what it was like…water hoses and dogs turned loose on people of color just for congregating in groups, crosses burnt in your yard, hangings, beatings, people disappearing. YES this can happen to YOU too now.
RFK Jr has to go before he kills us all.
Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.

It is broken and dump is doing everything he can to hurt the regular people of this country .
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Our 6 corrupt Supreme Court justices. They are a disgrace to the institution. They have no integrity and don’t follow the constitution.
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Texas is a backward looking state and I hope all the businesses that have gone there move out. It’s a police state and unworthy of any kind of respect.

Unions help people to get more benefits than they otherwise would be able to get. Collective bargaining is a benefit for all workers, even those not in the same job. Unions help all employees to make better wages and get more benefits.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
I’m not silent, we have to stand up for our future.

The thing I can't understand is how DJT learned that in April 1945 Hitler shot himself in the head to evade execution while Mussolini's dead body was hung upside down in a town square & mutilated by his own people ... & then said to himself: you know, I think fascism has a happy ending for me.
Congratulations to Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey for winning Iowa State Senate today! She flipped the seat blue 💙 during a special election, breaking the Republican supermajority in a district that went for Trump by 11 points! When we continue fighting, we can win unlikely battles! ✊🏻
This could be the only New York Times headline I've enjoyed in an entire year! Woohoo!
Trump sending National Guard to liberal cities isn't protection from crime. After all - why would he spend millions of tax dollars to protect the streets & homes of his enemies? If the National Guard were serving in a protective role, he'd send them to the states that voted for him.
