I’ve been pretty clear about what I think about Piker’s rhetoric and have the mentions to prove it. But I do have an important observation about Piker: He’s not the President of the United States! He’s a Twitch streamer 80% of Americans haven’t heard of ? It’s not the same!

This story is absolutely worth your time. This story requires more questions to be asked and answered Considering everyone in the the room, doesn’t this require the highest level of security? Is this standard for previous WHCD? Any changes due to the war with Iran? And more
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Breaking news: The Trump administration provided a lower level of security for the White House correspondents’ dinner than it has for other gatherings of high-ranking officials, according to officials familiar with the plan. wapo.st/4eb1pRg

Maybe it's because they want people to exercise their right to vote, but don't want people to shoot the president, even one they don't like.
Mike Dunger@ModernEzra

@BillMelugin_ @lsferguson Anyone else notice that the folks who scream bloody murder about requiring photo ID to vote are furious that it apparently wasn't required last night?

Trump: I’m gonna blow your whole fucking country up and wipe out your entire civilization. Media: where in the world is all of this violent rhetoric coming from and why are people becoming so radicalized?

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress. Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6. There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day. Now is a time to unify.

@MarioNawfal @GuntherEagleman She was responding to multiple vicious attacks on her from Trump. Multiple men have gone to prison for trying to kill her. Have you condemned that, Mario? Be fair!

Yes, Ilhan Omar DID post this! And last night, a man tried to assassinate the President because he's a “pedophile, rapist" THIS IS NOT OK!

In 2023, the sole itemized expense of the DFL Feminist Caucus was a Gala dinner ticket

@taylr Peggy appears to be winning the delegate fight, but the primary hasn' t happened yet, and DFLers have a strong record of overturning party endorsements for statewide races in primaries (eg Walz, Humphrey). After the primary, I want to see loser concede and support the winner.

people say there’s no way jacob frey would get appointed to klob’s senate seat but given he was STILL reelected after everything we saw in 2020-21, i think nothing is off limits. he fails upwards every time, media loves him and paves his way and people simply don’t pay attention
taylr@taylr

none of this is new, exact same dynamic in 2020-2021 after george floyd's murder & during trials of the MPD officers who killed him. frey got national press and critics in minneapolis made shirts opposing him that read "jacob frey for no other office ever" and "don't rank frey"

Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective? Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears? It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists! I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.

@AngieCraigMN Our elders in the LGBT community made things much easier for later generations. Seems to me there is a bit of a backlash now.

Happy Lesbian Day of Visibility. I don’t talk about identity often, but I know how important it is to feel seen, accepted and supported for who you are.   I grew up in a small rural town, and that didn’t make being gay easy.   It wasn’t until college that I told my family I was gay. It was scary, but I’m really glad I did.   I never imagined I’d have the kind of community I have now — people who accept and support me. And I have my amazing wife, Cheryl, who’s been my rock for years.   I’ll always fight for LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance for everyone - because I know what it feels like to wonder if you belong — and I want every person to know that they do.

@smburns @PamelaRAasen Without knowing more specifics about what this was (only thing I read was something about Flanagan spending from a Walz account while he was VP candidate.) My experience in DFL, is I have to get stories from a number of perspectives to get an understanding of what is going on.

@smoldoink @lloydletta @NickKruse_ No, it is *not* obviously an issue. An *issue* would be if the company opened a week after taking the DFL job. Clearly, that is not the case here. Besides insinuation, you got anything?
