The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family did not happen in a vacuum. Incendiary rhetoric, purposeful disinformation — it all helped lead to this hateful and destructive act. Leaders need to be conscious of their words having consequences.

Sorry Cory but as long as this continues people will become violent. When people lose everything they have nothing to lose. Until all of government figures out how to fix what is seriously broken, I’m sad to say that this will escalate. This isn’t a threat it is just where it is going.

MAGA is a fascist movement and Trump a Nazi leader. When are you Dems going to recognize what you’re dealing with? How many people are going to have to die before you recognize what you’re dealing with? How many innocent people have to be kidnapped and shipped to a dictator prison? WTFU already

I don’t want violence but I want action . Stop taking people off the streets. Stop firing civil servants without cause. Stop the gutting of our institutions. Stand up to them . Leave votes if you have to . Tie them up politically so they can’t move . ACTION

I’m curious what would happen if a State DA decided to prosecute Abrego Garcia in absentia. You know, a big dog and pony show where evidence, or lack of it, is paraded before the whole world. He’s got star power right now. The press would eat it up.

🗣️📉 From facts to feelings in US politics Congressional speeches have shifted over 145 years – moving from evidence-based language toward intuition. This change links to more polarisation, inequality, and less lawmaking. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415... #SciComm #Politics 🧪 #US

I appreciate your efforts but fascists do not have consciences and they are too depraved to care about consequences. We don't need to appeal to the virtue of fascists to save America. We need to stiffen our spines and generate as much friction as possible.

But that's their point. Stochastic terrorism. They won't stop. Trying to shame the shameless into responsibility may make for good rhetoric but will not change this behavior. There must be consequences for the instigators as well as the perpetrators.

When Kamala said fight not one democrat took it to mean physically harm republicans bc her messaging was clear. Trump when he said stand back and stand by it was very clear messaging to his follower to attack congress once he was kicked out of office especially when he didn’t stop them.

Corey Booker only cares about Jewish Zionist lovers of Israel because he that’s who pays his bills! America is not Jewish! America is not Zionist and no you “chosen” inbred are not worthier of life then the rest of us. Is that clear enough for you? Or should we start getting violent.

Are you kidding me? The ag bondi and that ridiculous Alina habba, openly threatening Jasmine Crockett and the governor of New Jersey and no one has a problem with that? Those are codes for the stupid people to attack them. Get it now?

He picked the wrong target in that case. It’s Trump who is President. All the fury should be in his direction. Josh Shapiro isn’t making a resort out of Gaza. All the rage toward the President slunk away quietly after the election. That’s why I feel the protest non-voters were useful tools.

The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens. 1930-40’ History: First they built prisons in Poland, and then they built ovens.

Any concern left over for the 50,000 Palestinian family members torn to bits and burned alive by the Israeli genocide? The genocide you and Shapiro support? Didn’t think so. I’m not listening to you any more.

Hey did you see that plan that lays it out for you and your co-workers the steps to fight and stop Fascism? John Leguizamo has been posting the steps. Do yourself a favor get busy and start implementing immediately!

The told ya so, black & white, we good you bad attitude is understandable. It really is. The rage, the pain, the helplessness. Completely fucking valid. But every time I hear it I wonder, does anyone realise the them and us shit helps Trump more than ANYTHING else.

“Leaders????” No leader is responsible. A convicted felon occupies the WH. His hateful rants embolden people. Disinformation stations amplify lies. And most of Congress and Judiciary stand by or look the other way. You did a great thing a few weeks ago. Have you seen any solidarity from your caucus?

This is a gaslighting post Senator. Not only has the investigation of the arsonist strongly indicated a severe mental crisis, if the suspect's words can at all be credited he committed this crime in response to the genocide in Gaza, which US politicians have a real responsibility to stop but don't.

I do care about the issue, but it does look like you're catching flak for failing to vote no on Israel Gaza assault support. If that's true it puts you in a no win game and trolls happily dance. AIPAC is a plague of religious nuttery to be sure.

But Senator Booker, isn't that the point? Hasn't the Right carefully said things in order to inflame the stupid and angry amongst their admirers? They want those people to carry out the violence they pretend to "abhor".

You are right Cory but these people are so full of hate, semblance to the Brown Shirts of Germany, they weaponize themselves to do harm to others. I liked Josh. I think too he would make a fine President oneday.

Bro, y'all need to stop with this song and dance. Everybody knows what the rhetoric is doing. The fact is the ones using the words know exactly what they are doing and it's part of their agenda. Y'all need to stop being so "polite" and "politically correct". Stop sugar coating. Fight fire with fire!

My comment was to state that Politicians need to stop “politicking”. Here is a very interesting article that gives insight into where we are and how politicians lost due to their naivety and political correctness: bsky.app/profile/jimc...
