The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Okay, there’s something I need to do every August 24th. I need to tell you to not give up on your mental health, yourself, this world, or hope. My brother Rick should be turning 63 today but he died at age 44 due to depression and other mental health problems. He shouldn’t have. (🧵)

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Everyone should watch @repyassansari.bsky.social speaking truths about Abrego Garcia to Laura Ingraham last night. She told Fox viewers *five times* that Trump is defying SCOTUS and that his renditions are illegal/authoritarian, which they never hear. My new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1942...
