My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
At the start of the stadium naming press conference, Josh Whitman reflected on the state of Illinois Athletics
Give it a listen
Illinois was broken in the 2010s
-football scandal
-ncaa tournament drought
-worst WBB program in P5
It’s been rebuilt. Best AD in the country
How I wish we had a leader at the helm right now who was capable of turning the temperature down.
Someone capable of compassion.
Someone who can and will say that there is no place for political violence in this country. Ever.
Oh how I wish.
Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy. In every instance it corrodes the public trust, diminishes our shared institutions, and replaces reasoned discourse with fear and coercion. Whatever our differences, they must be resolved through the peaceful exchange of ideas, the ballot box, and the institutions that safeguard our freedoms, not through threats, intimidation, or bloodshed.
🚨BREAKING: Epstein victims and survivors announce they will be releasing their own client list:
“We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world.”
It isn’t a hoax. People’s lives were forever altered in a horrible way. This should not be a partisan issue as right and wrong are clearly in black and white. Hold them all accountable, regardless of name, gender, or political affiliation!!!!! Enough already!
Minutes after tearful Epstein survivors spoke outside the Capitol, alongside MAGA faithful Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump calls the files a "Democrat hoax"
If the DeWitts wanted to marginally win back a part of the fanbase they’d fire Mozeliak today & make him quit doing interviews. He doesn’t deserve the farewell he’s getting. He doesn’t deserve a red jacket. He deserved to be shitcanned 4 years ago and he’s stolen money since then
