'Climate change, mass shootings, and the loss of reproductive freedom, if we're gonna stand a chance of solving these issues, we've got to remove the Republicans that are standing in the way and replace them with Democrats who will fight for our future.'

Announcing Gen Z's

I’ll try to behave but Lauren Boebert going onto a college campus to scream at college students might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

The jokes write themselves and please feel share.

All In with Chris Hayes Chris Hayes “Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work.” thehill.com/homenews/educa…

How many cartoon effigies are Republicans here to burn?

* Mothers who abort babies after they're born
* Immigrant crime wave
* Violent student protestors
* Evil Jews
* Evil Muslims
* Democratic Party communists
* 'Radical left'
* People who enforce golf rules
* Who else?

Boy it sure would stick it to ole Brandon if one of our Brave Republican Governors sent the Cops to unmask all these Feds trying to Entrap Trump Voters. Really just go to town with nightsticks and tear gas and rubber bullets. It would trigger so many wokes.

The not-yet-entirely-committed Kimberly Guilfoyle cosplayer is right: dogs shoot people more than once a year. Governor Botox was just standing her ground!

My latest for The Banter: 'I can’t figure out exactly why there isn’t a constant presence of pro-democracy demonstrators everywhere Trump goes. There’s certainly plenty of inciting reasons for it. But it’s just not happening.' (free read)

Once again, the 7 Mountains Christian supremacists will frolic in our nation's Capitol.

Something went wrong at CNN with this. It's not factual enough to be news, or coherent enough to work as an opinion column. A producer should have argued her out of it.

I’m a Dartmouth professor. Students were holding a genuinely peaceful, inclusive protest. Guess this guy is the new faculty.

Supporting peace for the people of both Palestine and Israel requires a rejection of both Hamas and Netanyahu's government. They are both war criminals in a symbiotic relationship, dependent on each other for political survival and reliant on forever war to maintain power. 6/6

The facts are this is probably the most complicated, nuanced, and intractable conflict anywhere on the planet right now and it's just not going to fit into the convenient little boxes we prefer to shove our problems into. 5/

By picking either 'side,' you're forcing yourself to ignore many decades of baggage and history that brought us here, as well as very contemporary examples of atrocities committed by the 'side' you do support.

It's a trap, in other words. 4/

-Many protestors have turned explicitly pro-Hamas and echo their anti-semitic rhetoric.
-Israel and the IDF are worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
-The only people benefiting politically are Hamas, Netanyahu, and Putin, at the expense of democracy and Biden. 2/

🏆🏆🏆 Dead on.

Remember: Blanche and Trump are also there to wage information warfare against democratic institutions, from the courts to the free press.

Trump being called 'Von ShitzinPantz' in a Michael Cohen post has been introduced as a court exhibit by Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche. Now national and world media is covering Trump's new moniker of Von ShitzinPantz. Thank you Todd Blanche.

Todd Blanche in court reads aloud Michael Cohen’s post referring to Donald Trump as “Von Shitzinpantz.” Blanche argues Cohen is “almost daring” Trump to respond.
