As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
I made a compilation of major Democratic politicians and left wing pundits unequivocally condemning the shooting.
Contrast this with the response of major right-wing accounts.
Are we even in the same reality?
A conservative pundit is killed? Flags at half mast.
Two senior Minnesota Democrats are shot and killed in their homes?
Flags at full mast. Trump skips the funeral. To golf.
Never forget: Trump hates you and will not mourn your death. Never forgive these scum.
So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.
In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.
The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.
The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.
The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.
The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.
The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.
The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.
Every time there is a violent (shooting) attack in this country, the unified Dem response is to try to tone down the temperature, while the entire RW immediately uses it as an excuse to dial things up to 11 and fantasize about murdering liberals.
Completely asymmetric.
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
Removing the memorial of the pulse nightclub victims is some of the most heinous work imaginable and I hope shame for this follows desantis to his grave
there is no justice for this. a stain on humanity that will never wash out. i hope it haunts every politician who abetted it, every media person who laundered it, every university president who destroyed students for protesting it. even then, there is no justice. free palestine
