When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.
We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.
I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.
Honest disagreement makes us stronger; violence only drives us further apart and corrodes the values at the heart of this nation.
Remember when Melissa Hortman was killed, Republicans tried to blame Democrats even though the guy was a far-right lunatic. (@grok please fact check)
How about we stop blaming entire political parties for what one terrible person does.
Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman died because a bad person killed them. Both killers are terrible people no matter what political party they belong to.
End the back and forth.
End the blame of those who have nothing to do with it.
Shame on anyone celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
Shame on anyone exploiting this tragedy (before the shooter is even caught) to divide America, call for a civil war, and pretend violence only comes from the left.
This is a time for unity and a stand against ALL political violence.
Every week I get folks in my mentions saying “I haven’t read a book in twenty years.” My friend, that's not the brag you think it is. There's so much nourishment & pleasure to be found in books. And when a person quits reading, it’s as though a light has gone out of the world.
I have no problem with the Epstein files being released because I do not have an undying loyalty to any politicians. If someone from my side is exposed, I would prefer that they face consequences. If you feel differently, I think you should consider leaving your cult.
Elon Musk posted this after news broke that Trump’s DOJ concluded Epstein didn’t have a client list.
Just weeks ago, Musk said: “Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
Gaza has literally been reduced to rubble. Children are being torn apart or starved, and aid trucks are being blocked from reaching them. This is called EVIL.
Tired of people claiming to be pro-life and turning a blind eye to the horrors being committed.
newsflash: Israel is committing genocide and are the bad guys here bc their insane leader wants war real bad.
Innocent civilians, children, are continuing to die because of this. Wake up, I’m tired of explaining how opposing the Israeli government doesn’t equal antisemitism
Iran is alleging that they never violated the ceasefire.
Israel has a LONGGGG history of faking ceasefire violations. Iran did not begin this war so no one should believe anything Netanyahu is alleging.
He wants this war, badly.
You can find more unequivocally genocidal statements from Netanyahu’s cabinet members than you could for the top leadership of the Ottoman Empire, Germany…. Hutu Power leaders might give Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party a run for its money, but there aren’t many others.
More than 10 Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike targeting civilians waiting for aid near the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza.
BREAKING: Trump’s VA just gave doctors the green light to refuse treatment to veterans who are Democrats or unmarried.
Yes—you read that right. Serve your country, risk your life, and when you come home, your care depends on your politics and marital status.
