This Here Snakeskin Jacket

Hi! I’m Rise! About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.) Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

All of them are/were right wing

‘This isn’t a both sides issue,’ says side that launched a violent insurrection, pardoned the violent insurrectionists, murdered Melissa Hortman, tried to kidnap and kill Gretchen Whitmer, tried to kill the Pelosis, tried to kill Ilhan Omar, threatened to kill Zohran Mamdani, plotted multiple assassination attempts against Obama and Biden, sent pipe bombs to multiple top Democrats, and threatened to execute elected Democrats just weeks ago.

JB Pritzker on Donald Trump “If you think I’m overreacting…it took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic…when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bottle of water”

The idea that the right just quietly moved on with their lives after Obama and Biden were both elected is revisionist history on a level you can’t calculate

Partial list of politically-motivated assassinations and assassination attempts from the past decade: - Leftist attempts mass assassination of GOP Congressional baseball team, nearly killing Scalise - Leftist arrested in assassination plot outside the home of conservative SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh - Leftist assassinates conservative media personality and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk - Leftist arrested in assassination plot against WH budget director Vought - Three separate assassination attempts against POTUS Donald Trump (all 3 by reported donors to Democrat/Left causes / one was a registered R prior to Dem-aligned donation & shooting Trump in the head) - Man murders Dem lawmakers in MN (suspect has some right-wing beliefs, also is a former Dem appointee, also says the Dem governor told him to do it) - Man sets PA Governor mansion ablaze with Dem Gov & family asleep inside (suspect is a ‘globalize the intifada’ terrorist/antisemite) - Man attacks Paul Pelosi with a hammer (unclear if this counts as an assassination attempt or politically motivated / suspect has a bizarre worldview, with a mix of far left and far right views/conspiracies) - Also worth noting various celebrations / justifications of violent acts (Kirk murder, healthcare CEO murder) among a non-insubstantial segment of the Left, as well pro-violence stances articulated by an increasingly prominent leftist influencer being mainstreamed by a large swath of the political Left - After the Kirk assassination, YouGov asked Americans if political violence is ever justified. Huge bipartisan majorities said no. But: “A quarter of respondents who identified as very liberal said violence can sometimes be justified to achieve political goals, along with 17 percent of those who identified as liberal…6 percent of those who said they’re conservative and 3 percent of those who identified as very conservative.” - Missing any? Feel free to add to the list below.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
