The fact that he felt comfortable enough to say this on live television is a problem in of itself.

We said that Trump would not be able to end the war in Ukraine quickly and easily like he claimed. We said he would never sanction or punish Putin for aggression. We said he would weaken NATO. Republicans in Congress assured us that would not be the case. They were wrong.

Brian Kilmeade calls for mass murder and it's ok because the bar is so low for right wing whites.

Gathered with Team Bibb today to launch our re-election campaign where it began: the Southeast Side. A lot has changed since 2021, but I am still committed to improving safety, keeping neighborhoods strong, & creating good jobs. Grateful for our community. We rise together.
Trump’s tariffs hit grocery bills hard: imported fruits & veggies could rise 5–7%, with Mexican tomatoes up 26–40%. Families may pay $2,600–$4,900 more a year for food—proof that tariffs are just hidden taxes at the checkout. #TariffTax
Relatable.

UNITED24 ambassadors @mishacollins.bsky.social and Katheryn Winnick honored Ukrainian Cinema Day by voicing scenes from Serhii Paradzhanov's film, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. Released in 1965, it became an act of resistance against soviet repressions and arrests of Ukrainian intellectuals.

"What started with lawmakers weaponizing their platforms against civil servants has morphed into a statewide directive to hunt down and fire educators for opinions shared on their personal social media accounts." - @zephcapo.bsky.social www.texasaft.org/government/t...
MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd for pointing out Kirk’s hate speech while Fox keeps Brian Kilmeade after he said killing the homeless via lethal injection would end homelessness. A perfect example of how right-wing extremism is tolerated, but even pointing it out gets punished. The media reinforces this.
Just a thought for all you dads out there …
Days later, and the UK media is still obsessed with the shooting of Charlie Kirk, a man almost nobody in the UK would have ever heard of prior to his murder. The attempt to lionise a man who held views most in the UK would find sickening is a lamentable demonstration of the state of our media.
I recommend everyone watches this

Odd, I keep hearing that the same person who paid for buses to transport domestic terrorists to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, to threaten the lives of police officers, members of Congress, and the vice president was a paragon of "civility." Girl, please.

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

Fox News: “Kill the homeless with lethal injections.” No problem. MSNBC: “Charlie Kirk is divisive.” Fired on the spot. Welcome to America 2025.

Tuba is a fabulous name, by the way! I hope this deserving doggo find his/her furever home!
Tuba is a big gentle boy who likes leisurely walks with lots of pauses for sniffing. He also loves snuggles and head pats. Do you also like leisurely walks? You can meet Tuba or one of his friends M-F 2pm to 6pm or Sat/Sun 11am to 4pm.
Good morning! This is Tuba. Tuba is an adoptable dog at BARCS (www.barcs.org) and today we went on a walkies.
Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

Professors were subject to political violence because of Kirk and the culture he ushered in, the culture that is being whitewashed.
Newsom reacts to Kilmeade’s cold-hearted comments👇🏽
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 silence is deafening. A lot of people are feeling anxious and scared tonight. For their loved ones. For themselves. For their community. For their country. For our country. Those who lead us must use their voices, unequivocally, now.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.
These politicians need to speak just like this. Plain English. Comer is a useful idiot who is assisting with the covering up of tRUmp's presence in the Epstein files. Bada bing, bada boom!

They’re having a hard time coping because the killer was white and Christian, but statistically that’s the profile for political violence. And that profile gets the benefit of the doubt. If he were Black, she’d be foaming at the mouth. “What happened to him?” -Megyn Kelly Nick Fuentes happened!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
