Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

💯 Sick of the gaslighting. Shooting him was not OK, but he wasn't a Saint, no matter how hard they want to make him out to be. He was a hateful racist grifter. The receipts are everywhere. Stop with the BS, @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social if that's the right way, we define "right" differently

Yup. That was the end for me as well. So this move is not surprising at all. Traditional media is dead and buried.

I haven't watched MSNBC since Mika and Joe went down and kissed Trump's ass last November. MSNBC is dead to me.

Appreciate the sentiment. Tell it to the right wingers. I abhor violence but I'm not a freaking doormat. Do you see what's happening? "Radical left democrats" are now the cause of EVERYTHING. Just ignore the Republican rhetoric. Not exactly "descalating" behavior, is it?

This post is unavailable.

It's been more than 24 hours, so this is not a knee-jerk response. I agree, nobody should 'celebrate' this. I will never celebrate the death of any human being. I won't mourn his death either, anymore than I mourn a random obit in the newspaper. 1/6 #utah

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

I'm no conspiracy theorist. This just feels like Trump and the MAGAts are going to capitalize on this as their opportunity, and that should terrify any rational American. 5/6 #charliekirk #maga

We're long past the point of rationality. There's no turning back. Hold your loved ones close, because the violence has yet to begin. I fear for this great nation. 6/6 #itstheguns #guncontrol

Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social

I've sat here - WE'VE sat here - and watched people like this just trash the left. Charlie Kirk didn't "oppose" anything. Nor "respectfully disagree". He "FUCKING VILLIANIZED" the left. 3/6

So for the last 24+ hours, the Republicans have declared war on the left. Dismissed any talk of "political violence" - only "radical left violence". This is being set up as Trump's Reichstag fire. 4/6 #nazi

Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social

I'm more upset that another person died senselessly to a fucking gun death in America. Again. Like every other fucking day for what seems like a lifetime. And again, nothing will change. Nothing 2/6

"Appears to" #Chicago #Trump #fascism

1/5 Kristi Noem wants to give migrants a shot at citizenship... By putting them in a reality show. The American: because "Wheel of Deportation" was too subtle. Cross the border, complete the obstacle course, maybe win a green card. Welcome to fascism's pilot episode.

4/5 They’re not solving a crisis - they’re selling it. This is fascist propaganda with a laugh track. America’s Got Authoritarianism. You gotta wonder. How far will they push it before liberals tweet a concerned paragraph or two, then go back to brunch? 🤔

5/5 If this gets greenlit, the next season’s filmed in the camps. And you *know* what the prize is then. This show is rigged. The stakes are real. No one is coming to save us. Turn off your TV. Get in the fucking streets. #StopProject2025 #KillTheShow #FuckTheseGuys #MurphoSpeaks

2/5 This isn’t dystopian satire. This is GOP policy now: Dehumanize migrants. Gamify cruelty. Then broadcast it to the base so they can jerk off to their own supremacy. Project 2025 isn’t just coming. It’s coming soon on Fox.

16 May 2025

3/5 Who’s producing this hot pile of xenophobic trash? The fucking Duck Dynasty guy 😂 😂 😂 Of course. Because if there’s a bunch of dipshits we can trust with immigration reform, it’s the creative geniuses behind camouflage beards and shotgun merch.

Thank you! We've got too much in front of us right now to spend a minute worrying about the next presidential cycle. We've got a machine to build and it ain't just about one job.

Santiago Mayer@santiagomayer.com

The midterms are more than a year away. I get that we have a ton of exciting 2028 candidates, but I genuinely cannot handle any conversation around the Presidential Primary till Dec. 2026 at the earliest.

🚨🚨🚨 1/5 Trump’s regime branded Mexican cartels as terrorist groups. Then they turned around and escorted 17 family members of a cartel prince into the U.S. Congrats, folks! We're now Uber Black for narco royalty. But sure, let’s keep screaming about “open borders.”

4/5 This is what Trump’s “tough on crime” looks like: Terrorize migrants fleeing cartel violence. Negotiate hush-hush deals with the cartels themselves. He’s not fighting the drug war - he’s cutting side deals with its CEOs.

5/5 So next time MAGA talks “border security,” remember: They're not protecting us from cartels. They're protecting cartels from accountability. One rule for narcos, another for everyone else. #LyingLiarsWhoLie #CartelClass #TrumpNarcoDeals #MurphoSpeaks

2/5 Ovidio Guzmán flipped, pled guilty, and boom - his family gets a fast pass. Mom, siblings, the whole Sinaloan Christmas card list—welcomed at the border. Not a raid. Not a capture. A coordinated handoff with U.S. agents waiting. This is "Cartel Concierge Service".

3/5 Mexico’s security chief? Absolutely blindsided. No heads-up from the U.S., no briefings. But hey, who needs allies when you’ve got a Narco VIP Rewards Program? “Designated terrorists” one minute, protected witnesses the next.

So, *this* is what finally made @thedemcoalition.bsky.social go "hmm...this guy seems sus." Not disappearing people, not tariffs. Not criming day in and day out. Nope. A $400M golden palace in the sky. I'm sure Chuck Schumer is whipping up some angry letters right now! We're fucking doomed.

Krassensteins@krassenstein.bsky.social

1/5 Trump just called the EU “nastier than China.” Because nothing says “stable genius” like launching a trade war against your own allies while cozying up to authoritarian regimes. America First? More like America Alone.

4/5 Meanwhile, Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs have already caused market turmoil and global economic instability. But hey, as long as he gets to play tough guy on TV, who cares about the fallout?

5/5 None of this about fair trade. It's about ego, chaos, and a dangerous game of economic brinkmanship. We need leaders who build bridges, not burn them. #TradeWar #AmericaAlone #StableGenius #MurphoSpeaks

2/5 He’s slapping 20% tariffs on European goods, claiming they sell us 13 million cars a year while we sell none. Reality check: the actual numbers are far less dramatic. But who needs facts when you have feelings?

3/5 The EU isn't taking this lying down. They've proposed $100 billion in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. Get ready for your favorite stuff to cost a whole lot more. Just remember... it's *not* a tax! #DearLeader says so.

“I spent $400 at the store and they didn’t buy ANYTHING from me. UNFAIR!” - Donald J. Trump, if he ran U.S. trade policy like a toddler with a receipt. That’s what a “trade deficit” is, genius. You pay for goods. You get the goods. It’s not a scam. It’s called buying stuff. #TradeDeficitTantrum

Imagine storming into Safeway demanding they buy your homemade beef jerky to “even things out.” That’s Trump’s economic brain in a nutshell. A boiled peanut in a MAGA hat. #TradeDeficitForDummies #AmericaAlone #StableGeniusMath #MarketMoron #GroceryStoreDiplomacy #MurphoSpeaks

1/8 🚨 ICE agents ASSAULTED Congress members 🚔 And ARRESTED Newark Mayor Ras Baraka—yes, the sitting mayor— during a lawful oversight visit. He’s out now. But that’s not the win you think it is.

7/8 This regime isn’t here to govern. It’s here to dominate. No rules. No shame. No oversight. And if ICE can rough up Congress and arrest a mayor with zero blowback? 🧱 Then democracy’s already on life support.

8/8 🩸 The mayor's out. But the message was sent. 💥 “We run this now.” 📣 Make noise ⚖️ Demand charges 🪧 Show up Because next time they won’t release the mayor. Next time, it’ll be someone you love. #AbolishICE #ThisIsNotNormal #Fascism

5/8 👮🏿‍♂️ Arresting a mayor in Newark is a deliberate provocation. It’s “let’s see if anyone stops us” energy. They’re not scared of headlines. They’re counting on public fatigue.

6/8 So here’s the truth: 📷 If this is what they do on camera— Imagine the horror offscreen. To migrants. To kids. To dissenters. To anyone who won’t kneel.

3/8 🧢 DHS claims they “stormed the gate.” 📹 The footage? Tells a different story. ICE agents attacked elected officials doing their jobs. This is the blueprint for authoritarian rule: Lie. Deny. Escalate.

4/8 ICE doesn’t enforce laws anymore. 🚫 They enforce allegiance. To the regime. To white nationalism. To violence without consequence. They’ve been turned loose, and they’re not hiding it anymore.

2/8 👊🏾 Reps Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez Jr., LaMonica McIver: Shoved. Blocked. Restrained. ✊🏽 Mayor Baraka: cuffed and detained like a criminal. This wasn’t a misunderstanding. This was a flex of raw fascist power.

1/5 Kash Patel, Trump lackey turned FBI director, is now allergic to accountability. Sen. Merkley asked why he won’t investigate mass due process violations. Patel: “Not my job.” Buddy, your entire job is law enforcement. Not cosplay. #KashPatel #Authoritarianism

4/5 Merkley handed him a golden opportunity to show spine. Instead, Patel went full limp noodle. This isn’t leadership. It’s fascist appeasement wrapped in bureaucratic beige.

5/5 Just call it what it is: Kash Patel is an unqualified partisan hack playing dress-up with federal power. He’s not protecting the rule of law - he’s running cover for its executioners. 1️⃣Torch the apathy. 2️⃣Name the collaborators. 3️⃣Defend the damn Constitution. #MurphoSpeaks

2/5 This is the same Kash Patel who rose through MAGA ranks by parroting conspiracy theories and licking boots. Now he’s in charge of the FBI and can’t be bothered to notice fascism at the door. How convenient. #DueProcess #MAGARegime

3/5 “Calling balls and strikes” isn’t neutrality. It’s the coward’s excuse when they’re watching democracy bleed out and can’t be arsed to fetch a Band-Aid. #ConstitutionUnderAttack #ResistFascism #AccountabilityNow #ProtectDemocracy
