(2/2) President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.
It's the fucking guns.
Let's have a serious conversation. When the youth wing of a major American political party is caught saying they "love Hitler" and want to send opponents to "gas chambers," what is the absolute minimum acceptable response from that party's leader?
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
If Trump was serious about bringing the cost of living down, he would help make permanent the expanded, monthly Child Tax Credit.
Instead, he hurts our economy and our children by firing veterans and dismantling our education system.
Families devastated by the loss of loved ones from the Potomac crash deserve compassion & leadership. Instead, President Trump blames “DEI”.
Clearly, he wants to distract Americans from the fact that he has made it harder for safety officials to keep us safe.
The @NRA is right!
Kamala Harris has shown us who she is.
Under @KamalaHarris and @JoeBiden, violent crime rates went down 3% from 2022 to 2023.
📉 Murder rates dropped 11.6% over the same period — the largest single-year decline in the last 20 years.
I and twenty-two other Nobel economists signed a letter endorsing Kamala Harris for President.
We believe Harris's policies will result in a stronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable.
