I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    What I meant by that was that every time this sort of threat has been resolved by violence, it only sets the stage for future violence, because the true problem lies in the systems we use this violence to uphold.

    The systems are the people. And when you kick out a lynchpin - be it MLK or Charlie Kirk - that system can fail.

    The gun nuts do need to stfu about their hollow ideals though. I’d say we are in complete agreement on that note. If they were to actually ‘walk the walk’ however…I dread what that may usher in tbqh.

    We’ve got people being rammed in their cars and shot gangland style through the windows.

    Delta Force is snatching foreign presidents while the sitting president dismisses the need for next year’s local elections.

    You can only waggle your finger saying “It could get even worse” so many times.
