Wondering? Why, just because crazy violent people fomented by MAGA and right wing propaganda media are walking up to their doorsteps and shooting them?

no articles are behind paywalls.

Reporters need to eat and pay rent.

Behind a paywall. Please join me in reporting these articles. This is SPAM.

Bezos rag trying to demoralize the Youngs.

By "increased political violence" you mean "batshit insane Republicans" right? Because it's 100% the fault of Republicans. Why can't you say that? Oh wait, you're on their side.

How convenient that you want to talk about violence now that it might scare young people away from politics. Why don't you talk about how absolutely inhuman the right is? They caused this. There is no 2-sides on this. Say what you want about dems, but this is specifically a rw problem.

Something something fire with fire

Nothing unclear there at all.

They swear to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

You, WT, are enabling the death of our democracy. Hey kids, politics may get you killed, leave that up to the authoritarians in charge.

Why in the FUCK are you reporting about a MAGA extremist assassin like this? Have a fucking spine, call it what it is: Republican violence has escalated to murder, just like they have been threatening for years, led by Trump.

Not if one has to deal with a Felon for President.

Safety in numbers, get involved destroy the chuds with collective power

Fear is what they want! Don’t back down!

Yes, well spotted that the point of doing terrorism is to terrorize people. Thank god you're here, Washington Post.

WP helped enable this behavior.

Washington post owner sucks

I hope they don't give up. It's their future. If they don't fight for it, no one else will. 🥺

We cannot allow these jack booted red hat wearing thugs to keep us scared.

This is a Washington Post BS both sides article.

Donald J Trump’s Legacy. And how long until the MAGA nutters start on journalists?

the violence is only against Democrats.

Behind a paywall....AGAIN I'm reporting you AND requesting that BlueSky stop allowing articles that are behind a paywall. This is nothing more than an advertisement & these ads arev filling up the feed.

If choosing politics as a career is "worth it," you're probably corrupt.

You forgot to mention the guns…guns in the US are a huge factor.

He’s not against violence as long as it’s against his enemies.

Sure WP; spread fear & hopelessness to your readers.

Ask not what your country will sacrifice for you... but what you may have to sacrifice to keep your country

Yes! “I must study Politics and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematics & Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematics & Philosophy, Geography, natural History…Commerce & Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study [art], Music, Architecture.” John Adams

Well we need to turn the tables on them!

passive cop voice strikes again

Was just popping in to highlight all that. 👊

But the owner of the Washington post doesn't like to hear that. Because he knows his ability to continue taking everything for himself will be at risk if younger generations take over.

As a Canadian I view the US as a lawless country where people can threaten to kill, mutilate, stalk or abduct politicians with whom they disagree. They do so with complete impunity. The virus is spreading here to Canada. It is a sickness that must be stopped.

"We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

The Democrats are violent..no doubt about that

Well maybe start printing factual truth along with context. Your boss is out of town, take a swing at some journalism

Fuck WaPo

"Young progressives, stop doing politics because you will get shot ☺️" - the Washington Post. The real question is Will they ever get tired of being ratioed on Bluesky

The solution is SIMPLE!... Just Eliminate the GOP!... They are Thugs, Crooks and Cons with NO responsibility to the People!... They are Sick Ass Racists, Psychotics and Anti-American Power Mongers!..

And the people making the threats???? Right wing. ALWAYS te conservatives.

It's what the fascist drumplicans want. Fear and uncertainty combined may shut down our democracy. That is what they want to have happen

yes, the violence and fear the media help enact

Politics is not a casual hobby. If it is not a calling, if you are not passionately committed and motivated to help and correct injustice, you should move on.

Oh it’s the billionaire boys lackeys afraid to call out who is responsible for the violence. Getting decent people to be afraid to run for office must be a Bezo wet dream.

Whereas school children at risk of school violence, law-abiding immigrants and citizens at risk of being kidnapped and disappeared, and people denied health care or who can't afford food or housing, etc. didn't make these choices. Prioritize concerns.

The hate and divisiveness needs to stop It has exploded since a certain escalator ride The guy on the escalator exhaustively planted seeds of hate & distrust with lies and insulting adjectives via prolific and obsessive social media posts of Hate Fear He MANUFACTURED "US Vs Them" to divide America

I don’t blame them but I think that’s the point.

Continuing the descent into 1930s Germany right before our eyes: and most media trying to normalize it.

With this administration, we became the banana republic they claimed the last administration was going to move us into.

Is a aceptable if they rethuglikkkan tho

I asked myself the same thing after the Kennedys, MLK, Medgar Evers and Malcolm X. It killed my dream of entering politics at the town council level in Junior High.

What better way to take over? Just make it too scary to run for any democratic seat.

Ask some Gen X. We don't care, and we have no feelings. Dox us, threaten us. We don't care. We raised ourselves. We're resourceful, smart, and have common sense. Y'all missed a whole generation that could help 🤷‍♀️

🙄

Funded by the owners of… *checks notes* oh the Washington Post.

Read about Special Fotcrs, but quick recap. Work directly for CIA, assassins all SEAL or Ranger or Green Beret. SF are taught how to overthrow govt’s by fomenting unrest. Recall School Board & City Hall meetings disrupted by men who had no kids in school no lived in community where this occurred

Tom Holman is feeling that as he continues as the border czar.

Maybe if we used the same tactics they use against us, we’d have nothing to fear.

Times like these are when the real leaders and real characters show up. It's time to stand up and fight for your country and your rights. But you know nothing about those things you sellouts

If I were young enough to run and able to do a good job, I would run. Nobody really wants another 80 year old in office, and I have physical limitations (problems with face recognition, for instance), mobility issues) that would limit my effectiveness.

Rethugg need to be threaten because they facist

You’re responsible for what has happened in America. Fuck the Post

Yep, and so the thugs with guns will take over, and we will have no way to stop it.

bsky.app/profile/quar...

Our founders fought for democracy, and I’m willing to fight too.

Stirring up the fear. Trash ass rag

Exactly, and I hope the opposite happens

Where's @nytpitchbot.bsky.social when you need him? " After the recent assassinations of sitting Democratic politicians, these Republican politicians are scared "

I think that's the reason WHY to get into politics. The small authoritarians are hoping ppl don't run- so they can't be stopped. We need new laws to break this cycle the GOP & Elitist Dems have welcomed in.

I am just going to say this- do you want Don Jr. , Eric and Lauren Bobert’s kids to rule the country?

And you The Washington Post made this possible by promoting a fascist dictator into office.

This is what they want. They = MAGA, GOP, Project 2025, Christian Nationalists, Big Tech. They want us to give up on democracy so they can control everything and make themselves wealthier. Fight for democracy. It’s #EnlightenedSelfInterest www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/e...

That's what we get thanks to liberals being soft-on-crime. Instead of making an example out of these right wing terrorists, the Left wants to slap them on their wrists & rEfOrM them w/community service. Have a couple of public executions instead & I guarantee you shit will stop real quick.

In order to protect democracy one has to be brave. If you let democracy be destroyed, getting it back will demand even more bravery.

GFY Bezos!

Thank you for saying this. WaPO is Bezos's propaganda machine. Fuck them.

You should write about who the recent killer was and where he got his motivations from. It’s the Fox News addicts with assault rifles… It’s the Tr*mp supporter men who are killing politicians.

I will tell you right now, for the rest of the world looking at you, being American is not worth it.

Maybe if restitution had to be paid by the political party associated with the violence, parties would have more of a stake in not promoting political violence. Like when a republican shoots at a republican nominee, and they kill someone in the crowd, the republican party would be liable.

I Need Freelancers that can do the following jobs 1. Transcription 2. Online survey 3. Answering Of questionnaires Note: All applicants must be a US or Canada citizens. Interested persons should hit me up.

Electors are suspicious of representatives doing at times disproportionately well by at times doing good. For which we pay them.

Yes. Politics is worth it. It’s worth it to the constituents you represent, who believe in you

Somewhere warm, Osama Bin Laden is smirking. Domestic terrorists winning.

Billionaires like to control the narrative, hence owing the media

We all know authoritarianism is not just about asserting the leader’s power, but also about taking away the people’s power. That’s done in “subtle” ways like this.

Yes, shame on WaPo for normalizing and condoning the violence.

You just have to look at who owns it and you have all the answers as to why that is.

Right? They write this as if people have a choice. If no one runs, political opposition killed in foreign prisons if not outright murdered by MAGA assassins; we die in climate disasters; we die of lack of healthcare and clean air and water; we die of poverty and abusive working conditions.

Probably not but I hope these brave souls keep stepping up and showing up to save our country! Enough with old white men destruction!

Depends on whether you want to live in a fascism or not.

PLEASE allow people to pay per article, @washingtonpost.com!

For the crowd that always says do better.You're going to have to do better for a lot longer than you'd prefer and sustain a lot more b******* than you'd like and I don't care that that bothers you.It should , but it's also a motivation to stay the course.

Reuters' 2023 investigation backs you up. Looking for more current data also. www.reuters.com/investigates...

When you hear blood libel, violence is coming

Is journalist worth it, if you are owned by Bezos?

Being a politician was *never* meant to be comfortable. That's why it demands true leadership energy (which has basically disappeared during the era of capitalism masked up as democracy). It's time for the strongest leaders to step up and actually lead. Risk your lives for humanity/good.

Pussies

My bet is that it's five times worse for progressives. It would be interesting to see statistics on that.

@washingtonpost.com YES, IT'S FUCKING WORTH IT. gawdammit.... fucking headline manipulators. You're part of the problem. Fuck all the way off. This is how you lose what scrap of humanity we have left. Moronic Dotards

Not reading WP article, but I'm guessing the 9 are all Dems. The rest of us are not in the privileged position of power like them, so they need to do the hard work even if it means taking risks. The risks for all of us are even greater if they don't.

I can understand the second guessing! But, YES IT IS WORTH IT!!! What if our forefathers, or Lincoln, or Roosevelt, or Ike (yes, an R), or Kennedy, or Carter, or Clinton, or Obama, or Biden asked the same? THIS IS OUR COUNTRY! NO ONE WILL TAKE IT AWAY FROM US!! WE JUST NEED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER!

I get ut, if I were u I'd be scared shitless, but we need u now more than ever. We need those who will stand on the right side of history.

And you, facist owned Rag, are partially to blame for this.

Part of Washington Post's hand holding us into Fascism.

Ye, tis worth thy cost, for all great acts demand a sacrifice and there is nothing greater than service to the flock. So sayeth the lord.

Time to ditch the phones and embrace snail mail as soon as one is elected
