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.
@HelenSharpeVA This is a weird thing to post in a year where she isn’t running for office. Why would you make a post like this about someone you don’t know and has nothing to do with the current election cycle? I encourage you to take this down and go touch grass, girl.
@maggiemoda As a new wife myself, I love all the Gottman books and methods. Also love their app “Gottman Card Deck” of questions to keep dating your spouse and learning about each other.
I know we're having fun, but imagine how much MORE fun it would be to live in a functioning democracy where two fragile billionaires crashing out didn't impact, say, rural hospital closures.
Politics flows downstream from culture, and culture is increasingly online.
The media has always played a huge role in what legislation passes & what doesn't. But increasingly, we ARE the media.
If you want to actually get good stuff done this year, come work for me!
The election is *finally* over and now the real work begins.
Politics don't run your life, but public policy does. And one of the best ways to impact it is through the media. As legislative sessions launch across the country in January, the time to get involved is now!
Applications to join my influencer network are now open. If you want to get in the ring, get stuff done, and get paid apply here today!

It is odd when people who run around screaming "own the libs" or who drink out of LIBERAL TEARS mugs are then like 😭😭 my family members are cutting me off because of my politics. Or when they're like politics shouldn't determine your friendships!
In those cases, your friends and family aren't cutting you off because you merely voted differently than them, they're cutting you off because you're an asshole?
