Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?
I live in the great, blue state of Massachusetts! Wish I could fast forward the next 4 years.💙 Tough to be an empath right now! Daughter of a WW2 Vet who fought in the last great Battle of the Bulge. My Father must be turning over in his grave right now!💔

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.
NEW: Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, sues the Justice Department over her abrupt firing from her job as a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
That's Because Chump and The RepubliKKKans are All Putinistas....
Stay focused.
Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.
With the right folks in charge, it doesn't take long to get from a US economy that is "the envy of the world" to this: "The long-term unemployment number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation
@joyannreid.bsky.social is asking the right question.This may be the most dangerous period.When the dog catches the car & realizes he can’t open the doors or satisfy its hunger. Now there’s rage, snarling and vicious humiliation at having exhausted itself pursuing something that has no real meaning.
world to FUCK OFF. That there was some merit and value in spreading the idea that Black women are inherently unintelligent and incapable of leadership. THE YANKEES BELIEVE THAT!! I can’t unsee it or stop reeling from it. This is what my country became in less than a year.
The New York Yankees HONORED this guy with a moment of silence. As a Black woman, my stomach dropped when I heard that. It’s the equivalent of the Yankees honoring David Duke. I mean Duke at least ran for office and had some official title at some point. The Yankees told every Black woman in the
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
Jeffries’ response to Van Hollen rightly calling him out as “spineless” for not endorsing Mamdani is typically lame, weak, and unfunny. Dude isn’t qualified to run a school board let alone the Dem caucus in the House. Sheesh.
I still can’t believe Laura Loomer got Charlie Kirk killed.
I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.
Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.
Today, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about how Trump and the Republicans plan to interfere with the 2026 and 2028 elections. I hope you watch, subscribe and share. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We can mourn Charlie Kirk. We can send prayers to his friends and family,” writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie. “We can — and should — do all of this and more without pretending he was something, as a public figure, that he was not.”
We are at the point at which contiguous blue states need to openly sign compacts delineating all the legal, permissible ways they will resist compliance with a rogue federal government that is now openly fascist. No unnecessary assistance must be given to these thugs whose aim is to destroy America.
The picture is starting to become clear. Conventional MAGAs like Governor Cox and Kash Patel can deliberately misread the evidence all they like, but the truth always comes out eventually. Tyler Robinson is a Groyper; it is that theory of the case that explains everything about how we got here.
Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.
Yet more of the levers slipping into the hands of the few.
I bet you didn’t know this!!
Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/
This horrifying. Every MSM outlet that continues on X should confronted with the conduct of this disgraceful owner who they legitimize with their presence.
NOBODY’S GIRL—Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice Virginia Giuffre bravely shares her story of trauma, resilience, and unwavering resolve. Written in secrecy, memoir lays bare the rooms, names, and conversations that defined her journey Not just a memoir—a reckoning buff.ly/zrVMTEP
I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!
Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
“The trend in recent years has been for the great majority of extremist-related murders to be connected to some form of right-wing extremism. That is also true for 2024: for the third year in a row, all the murders identified were tied to right-wing extremism.” www.adl.org/resources/re...
It is journalistic malpractice for ANY reporter or pundit to not educate themselves on the Groyper and Christian Nationalist factions at war with each other on the right. All of that “lone wolf” mentally unwell deranged actors narrative is missing rampant online radicalization of young men that
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed
In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
In the midpoint of the decade, it is crazy that my law firm is currently involved in eight redistricting cases. Even worse, as of today, I expect that will grow to twelve in the next month or so. Republicans want to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.
To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social
Will MSNBC apologize to him??? I feel like it’s required at a minimum. Then give Matthew Dowd whatever he wants. Matthew did NOTHING wrong. He only stated facts @msnbc.com You’re in the wrong business if you can’t handle facts MSNBC
Read every word of this. Millions of Californians can now be profiled by the color of their skin and the language they speak, thanks to the Supreme Court. This is not the slippery slope. We are already on the slide towards dictatorship.
This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem
We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".
Only Cowards Run Away… www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-rush...
So whose death(s) did Charlie Kirk think was “worth the cost” to preserve the 2nd Amendment and his other “god-given rights”?

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times
It's official. RIP #MSNBC Matthew Dowd Rips MSNBC For Caving To a ‘Right Wing Media Mob’ In Firing Him Over Kirk Commentary
Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.
What happened in Utah should make our media hang their heads in shame. Fact is, most of us had no idea about the Kirk vs Fuentes feud, and we didn't know that a far-right MAGA movement called the Groypers even existed! But we should have. The media aren't doing their job. They're not informing us!
Matthew Dowd only stated what any breathing, able brained person already knew. Charlie Kirk peddled hate, racism, and sexism. @msnbc.com you made a mistake with this one. Your viewership is going to take a hit. As it should. Stand by your people. Defend their right to tell the truth. Do better.
If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear… 📌 California lawmakers just passed SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” which would make it illegal for law enforcement to hide their identities while on duty in the state.
“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.
There are weeks that feel longer than they are, and weeks when every single day is hard. This was a long, hard week. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/a-lo...
Matt Dowd was right: "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which then lead to hateful actions.” That MSNBC fired him is part of the problem.
So the rule is you can still be a prince or a president if you have a creepy close connection with one of history's most notorious pedophiles, but not an ambassador. These rules make no sense.
I saw the video, I forgot autoplay was on. What dawned on me after the initial shock subsided is that children suffer these SAME injuries in their classrooms. Other children watch their classmates suffer the same injuries as Charlie Kirk. No child should experience that. Ever. Regulate guns.
Watch this video. Then act accordingly. We do not have to be empathetic towards a person who showed no empathy. I do have empathy for his kids. Which is something he never had for anyone else's. #SheShed
I’ve seen both photos and video of the alleged assassin in the Kirk case. A few things are abundantly clear: 1) white male 2) extremely professional 3) escape route pre-planned 4) not a single thing to suggest it was a “leftist.” The person who benefits the MOST from this hit is none other
The Show Me State is showing up for our democracy.
Sweet Agnes- going to be murdered but not getting all the reposts Charlie Kirk’s posts or Kash Patel’s posts are and he’s a better make! Why doesn’t anyone want to repost to save him? I’m not understanding? Fosters needed on East Coast! This boy deserves ur reposts!! #furry
Uhmmmm…FUCK YEAH. Certainly both capable and cruel enough to do so. We know nothing for certain at this time. But the speed with which the right wing has blamed “leftists” is amazing to behold. Almost identical to the response to the alleged shooting of TACO during the campaign.
this is important, he was a threat to TACO over the Epstein stuff BECAUSE of his sway over the MAGA base. The left has disdained Kirk forever & never lifted a finger to actually harm him. He became a problem for TACO about a month ago. Would TACO or someone close to him order a hit like that?
MAGA Republicans canonized Kirk because he was willing to say out loud, the most vile, horrifically hateful, racist and bigoted shit possible, and get away with it. He put words to how they feel, and always have. He made white people worse in every way. His demise is no great loss. But…and
It looks like they had their talking points well in advance. I’m just saying that I am watching the same team run the same play for the same reason. So…yeah. That’s where I am.

Please repeat after me:
I stand with Matthew Dowd.
You can’t scrub away the truth.
MSM is showing its whole ass right now. They know Kirk wasn’t a good dude, yet they’re bending over backwards to sanitize him, leaving out his entire racist and white nationalist record. Mathew Dowd was fired by MSNBC for even the mildest of truths.
Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson. Here's a few of those things
I dunno y'all this seems like something maybe the Trump admin doesn't want us paying attention to www.axios.com/2025/09/11/t...
Not good. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...
It irks me when we say violence as no place in our politics. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE!! Ask Lincoln, JFK, RFK, MLK, Gabby Giffords, and Melissa Hortman. It’s always been there. We condemn it, as we should. But can we not act surprised please?
Every single word of this!
The Republican-led US government is throwing its full weight, at the federal and state levels, behind punishing teachers, soldiers, or immigrants for their speech about the killing of a conservative pundit. It's as absurd and laughable as it is dangerous and dystiopian.
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
Charles Borges, the agency’s former chief data officer, who warned that the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans may have been exposed. In his letter, Crapo emphasized the gravity of the claims and pressed the SSA for answers.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.
Amazing how we couldn’t do what Brazil did: Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...
Given the revisionist bullshit I have to say set the record straight about Charlie Kirk.
Disgraced ex-President and newly convicted felon Bolsonaro, will spend the next 27 years in prison for inciting a military coup.
There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
Please fully understand that Charlie Kirk’s “legacy” was unabashed HATE of women (especially Black women), Jews, Muslims, immigrant, LGBTQ and disabled Americans. Everyone who says we should “honor” that legacy is saying they agree with the things he said. I’m a FUCK THAT, on this topic.

Ben Shapiro tried to deny it's a genocide in Gaza to Charlamagne on The Breakfast Club. So I went on the show today to explain why Shapiro got the definition of genocide wrong, & point out that he uses the G-word for Syria & the Uyghurs, which are nowhere near as genocidal as Gaza. Enjoy:

If you're represented by a Republican in the House, call their offices to demand they join this. Be sure to tell them you know it just needs one more signature and it should be theirs.
Jones: What I’m seeing today is different. It’s no longer simply black and white like it was in 1963. We now have much broader problems in America — deeper divisions among races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. Those divisions are growing, and people are stoking that fear and anger.
Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.
A “response” to their Supreme Court issuing a ruling after due process. It isn’t enough that have destroyed the integrity of our Supreme Court. Now they arrogate to themselves the power to demand that the high court in other nations subvert the rule of law as well. This is insane.
