While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema
WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.
I was highly impressed

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.
First Halloween purchase of the year

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 In an alert to Senate staff, the Capitol Police said they were "responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity." www.rawstory.com/dnc-headquar...
Respond how?

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MONTRESSOR
This is the person they are suspending people over btw
This was on the curb the other night, and I have questions
Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore
Dear friends from other countries: please join the Brazilians as we celebrate this groundbreaking decision.
Jesus Fucking Christ www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/d...
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.
Twitter is a stupid environment to deploy a system like Grok in, because: 1. It'll be required to react to changing conditions at lightning speed. 2. It will be constantly fed misinformation. 3. It's expect to winnow that information to truth despite changing conditions.
The notion that some line previous uncrossed was crossed today is fiction. They shot Dr. Tiller in his church DURING THE WORSHIP SERVICE because they disagreed with his politics. Don’t you dare let their revisionist history go unchecked.
I can't anymore
Interesting to hear the demo www.guitarplayer.com/news/phil-ma...
texas ii is now out on all online outlets. I'm posting lyric videos throughout the week. This one is very personal, and is essentially the story of my life. Enjoy. youtu.be/UL0bOQPXxsY
Ngl today several different online platforms all independently making a strong case that social media is bad for society
So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments. Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.
Because, once again: the first violence the authoritarian right commits is against fact, truth, history, meaning, language, science, and this version keeps committing it. They bring liberation from reality, though maybe disinhibition is a better word.
Please post exactly correctly or the people who declared the ninth crusade against a restaurant chain for changing its logo two weeks ago may act rashly
Many thanks to the The Jerry Jonestown Massacre podcast for having me on to talk about texas ii and other assorted ramblings. Give it a listen jerryjonestownmassacre.com/2025/09/10/s...
Wild how political alliance with Zionism sweeps all sorts of wild statements about Jews under the table
Extremely dangerous
call me crazy but I think it was luigi mangione again
Very troubling stuff that I’m not seeing in the corporate media.
We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.
"This isn't a country of violence" Yes it is. It always has been. We were built on it, we enslaved people, we killed its indigenous people and we've killed countless people in our name and continue to do so. The death of a pundit who was famous for stoking violence doesn't change that.
Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.
Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.
Guy at make the animals bite factory tragically bit by animal.
Maybe replacing real FBI agents with loyalists wasn't a great idea when you need the department to investigate actual crimes
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
Yecch
I also did not know this. Weirdness.

do think its real bad that most of Movement Conservatism is indistinguishable from Radio Rwanda
Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.
Jacksonville law enforcement officers violated the civil rights of a 22-year-old Black college student when they pulled him from his car and beat him during a traffic stop, according to a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Jacksonville. https://cnn.it/4npuycw
One way to avoid people making fun of your death is to not make a career of gleefully proclaiming other people’s deaths are necessary for your enjoyment of life
Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June. Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.
Sigh.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
every democrat right now who has never once said "trans rights are human rights" falling over each other to post thoughts and prayers for a guy who wants us dead
Meanwhile

I’m sorry but this is so pathetic
I know everyone is busy right now, but don’t forget about that book. The one with the drawings & the fake checks, & the photos of little girls. Yeah. That one. Multitask.
Wow the lengths trump will go to try to bury this Epstein thing.
In honor of Charlie Kirk and how strongly he felt about it, the congress should put aside its differences come together around something we can all agree on and which would bring honor to Charlie’s name and that is to release the Epstein Files.
The same people who told you to settle down about dead palestinian kids and stop overreacting about dead trans people are now racing each other to say what a great guy the evil nazi youtuber was and how sad it is that he died. think about that.
Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers
try looking at what the guy who literally owns and runs X, The Everything App is saying right now bsky.app/profile/dame...
one side is allowed to say whatever they want, threaten whoever they want, spread whatever lies they want, and do whatever they want. the other side cannot so much as laugh when the fist descending on them gets a hangnail or we will all be wiped out in civil war. its a good system, obviously.
"It's not POLITICAL violence it's GUN violence" is the "It's a Republic NOT a Democracy" of the day. In America, gun violence IS always political violence, because if not for politics we'd have a lot less gun violence.
People like @chatterton.bsky.social are so cowardly. Like he has an account here, he knows this is a lie, but he pushes it anyway on a fucking site where Elon Musk is instigating MORE violence.
Hollywood actor Chris Pratt who I have never once seen comment on any mass shooting in America has posted.
As stated earlier by others, it does not matter what you post or do not post here. The right wing has their narrative they’re going to push, because they understand they are at war with democracy and that propaganda *works.*
Anyway, I'm just over here muttering "please don't be a trans person, please don't be a trans person, please don't be a trans person" about the news.
I'm telling all of you that they are going to do what they ALWAYS do. What you do or do not say has no impact on what THEY WILL DO AND SAY. [just going to leave that here]
MSNBC is gonna have all white men talking about “extremists on both side of the aisle.”
Vance Boelter, a Trump, GOP voting Christian nationalist, was radicalized in part by QAnon, the same conspiracy promoted by Trump and Republicans, even though they knew it had radicalized others to commit violence. Boelter had a hit list of 70 liberals. He killed Melissa Hortmann and her husband.
I know jumping to politically-advantageous conclusions is just what we do now, but its still striking how many right wing folks have immediately jumped to "violent leftist," as if there hasn't been a sustained, decadelong hate campaign against Charlie Kirk from those to his right.
somewhere in the United States, the worst op-ed you can possibly imagine is being prepped for publication. And just a reminder: you can always go out and buy an Italian combo instead of reading it
I don't feel any particular joy in Charlie Kirk getting shot. It's not the sort of thing I celebrate. But I also struggle to care when someone gets the very thing they've wished for openly, on multiple occasions, in multiple iterations, for literal years, b/c they thought it would be someone else.
Rufo calling for mass arrests, Blake Masters & Cernovich calling for RICO against Dem & left funders, and a whole lot of everyday people begging for martial law, or, even worse, "gloves off." 99.9% of whom are just spouting off, but today if anything teaches us the damage that one .1% fool can do.
Appears person filmed being arrested is not a suspect and suspect is not in custody. CNN reports that University now says single shot came from a building 200 yards away. Certainly suggests an experienced marksman.
Feel like this one finally got topped.
to be fair the right has been fantasizing about this shit for decades- ruby ridge, waco, Oklahoma City
The irony of it all is, Charlie Kirk fought for this precise environment to exist and said that it’s worth the cost of some gun deaths every single year to keep 2A.
Being on the left, for some, means you're not allowed to celebrate the misfortune of your enemies, while also knowing that they would crack open a cold one while they watch you and your entire family tortured to death.
It’s not considered political violence to dehumanize people until they’re so ostracized by society that they take their own lives. It’s not considered political violence to make policy choices to intentionally kill people by depriving them of life saving healthcare.
The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away
It's hard to see how Trump won't exploit the shooting of Charlie Kirk to further expand his police state...even while his FBI is busy cutting veteran agents that don't fit into his sycophantic and ideological mode.
Two “Democratic lawmakers” were assassinated & not only did no one care & the right celebrate, I have to say “Democratic lawmakers” because I never heard their names, just that phrase repeated by everyone No one’s celebrating but let’s not pretend the right ever doesn’t when it’s not them
Nope nope nope nope time to log off I dont want to see dem politicians deciding this is the thing to write posts about
What a humiliating way for Don Jr. to realize that daddy sends out birthday cards. --The Internet
This is better than the alternative. But the conservatives in the majority likely added that unusual caveat ("not a ruling on the merits") to clarify that they do NOT intend to side with the transgender boy in the end. They just don't think keeping him out of the bathroom is an emergency right now.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
