Political violence is a serious issue. But it’s not a “both sides” issue. The leaders of the Democratic Party do not call for violence, do not elevate violent supporters, do not pardon violent thugs who attack our seat of government and our elections. America is under threat from the right.

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

The Latinos that view themselves as white, tend to vote like non-Hispanic white voters. Afro-Latino people, tend to vote like Black people. More than half of all Latino people in the US, are people that you would visually identify as white, but they have a Spanish sounding last name.

I agree, but Dems don't want those voters because that would lead to fundamental changes in their policies and they are too beholden to "centrist" interests (Wall Street, foreign policy, police, etc). Moving to the right results in less need to change and less need to actually work.

why do republicans feel so free to be corrupt and bigoted? they face almost no consequences. the "opposition" party doesnt take them to task for it and they are fixated on flipping gop supporters instead of cultivating their base. the mainstream media is in full-on capture, worred more about money.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Vance's model immigrant Elon Musk has sucked up more taxpayer-funded largesse than entire generations of asylum seekers combined, interfered with government policy, bought elections, and perpetrated a decade-long crime spree... he's literally the only immigrant we can't afford more of!

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

I agree with this comment. Just as the 50 Snapchat guys that did nothing are part of the Cornell 57. Republicans are the same as the Cornell 57 for not calling out accountability to the Pedo-in-Chief. This is disgusting and irresponsible 🤮🤬🖕🏼

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

This. It’s not so much the fact we elected this man in the first place. It’s that we elected him AGAIN and have refused to remove him EVEN AFTER WE FOUND OUT HE WAS TRYING TO BE A DICTATOR.

It's offensive because men also made decisions about their lives around a woman's right to choose. How they approached family, sexual relationships, parenting, career, etc. To assume men didn't benefit or have interests as well hurts us all as the decision did and continues to do.

The guy who literally laid out how he planned to stigmatize a concept using anti-Blackness as an advocate of colorblind meritocracy until he strays from that is a pretty clear admission of the dynamic. They’re urging him to stick to what they’re comfortable with.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

I interpret this passage as evidence he leaked the draft to keep the group who voted in the majority together, especially since there were reports at the time that some justices were having cold feet.
