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

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.

Because this is America and you don’t go to jail for saying terrible things. You go to jail for *doing* terrible things. Hope that helps.

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.

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump we already KNOW what you think.

@PatGarofalo Never a fan of Biden.... but you should provide a link to back this up. Also, not in insane category.

@lloydletta How about Biden not having a cabinet meeting for a year?

These are not the actions of a stable individual.

@mehdirhasan @MarioNawfal @GuntherEagleman This post is indefensible @Mehdirhasan, @IlhanMN. So are pretty much all the Truth Social posts by the deranged lunatic in the Whitehouse.

@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!

@NickKruse_ And why should we care?

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

also, i haven’t seen anyone else really floated yet as a possibility for klobuchar’s seat aside from angie craig after she loses to peggy flanagan, but another person suggested betty mccollum since “amy won’t want to pick a loser.” think i saw bobby joe champion speculation too

@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 I've seen Steve Simon floated. FWIW. (Nothing.)

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.

@LindaIHiggins @shaunmmaguire I no longer get the print edition for this reason.

@shaunmmaguire The Minneapolis paper is now printed in Iowa. Nothing that happens after 4 pm gets in the next day’s paper.

This seemed so outrageous (even for the NYT) that I wanted to verify it I went and got a physical copy and took this photo The shooting was at 8:34pm ET on Saturday night Is this not enough time to get the story in print? If not, then how is this “news”?

@smburns @PamelaRAasen Yup, this is what I know about it. Neither of the principles in this drama are talking: minnesotareformer.com/2024/12/19/ten…

@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.

I wonder why Governor Walz doesn’t trust her or give her any responsibilities. According to her, she is great.

@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?
