To be clear, the Republicans who policed all of our speech when Charlie Kirk was killed, & who jump on anyone who doesn’t mourn their heroes correctly, have just opened the door for every liberal & leftist in America to post ‘Good, I’m glad he’s dead” when Trump eventually dies.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia. It’s really that simple. (So many shameless hypocrites around.)

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

I love how rightwingers keep saying you can’t recognize a Palestinian state because it doesn’t even have any agreed-upon borders. Erm, are they aware that Israel is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to define its own borders?

So many of my friends have been silent on Gaza. For two years now. And I’ll be honest, it has irrevocably changed me. I don’t trust people who can’t find even a few words during a literal genocide. I don’t care how scary it is. Y’all aren’t really my people anymore.

Why did alleged assassin target Kirk? Evidence paints complicated picture
The killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has unleashed a frenzy of recrimination — and finger-pointing. But the suspect's politics may be less clear than some say.
