If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?
A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”
That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.
I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.
If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.
Donald Trump has the entire power of the federal government behind him—FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, DHS, etc.—and yet cannot provide a single shred of evidence to support his claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Fascinating.
Israel killed three journalists, including a CBS News contributor, the latest attacks in Gaza despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire that began in October.
Israel has killed about 220 journalists in Gaza since October 2023, according to Reporters Without Borders. https://t.co/VZ2u8kcJio
Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
Imagine being so propagandized you think the role of government is the bailout corporations and give tax breaks to billionaires instead of creating social safety nets for disadvantaged people who get sick or lose their job.
In a hypothetical world where some physicians are replaced by AI, who gets sued when things don’t go well? Because this is America, somebody’s gotta get sued.

Elon Musk paid an effective tax rate of 3.3%. Jeff Bezos paid 1%.
How? They take out tax-free loans against their stock.
Today I'm introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax these loans and generate at least $276B for universal childcare and other programs to restore access to the American Dream.
It’s time for billionaires to pay their fair share.
