Gerrymandering. Voter Suppression Bills. Disgusting slurs meant to intimidate us. They even overturned the Voting Rights Act. Now, this much is clear. ✊🏽They knew our voices & our votes are powerful. ✊🏾They tried to silence us. ✊🏿They failed. True leaders always show up for our community.

If the United States asserts the right to use military force to invade and capture foreign leaders it accuses of criminal conduct, what prevents China from claiming the same authority over Taiwan’s leadership? What stops Vladimir Putin from asserting similar justification to abduct Ukraine’s president? Once this line is crossed, the rules that restrain global chaos begin to collapse, and authoritarian regimes will be the first to exploit it. (2/5)

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
