“So let’s be clear about what Abbott, Carlson and other MAGA types are advocating here. In pushing a pardon for Perry, they’re stating they believe that if someone plows his vehicle into a crowd of protesters, the protesters have no right to self-defense.”

I think this is steelmanning the actual conservative belief.

The thing they actually believe is that it's okay to kill liberals.

The most stunning passage in this article about a Sig Sauer handgun:

“Firearms are one of the few products that are exempt from federal consumer product safety regulations. No regulatory body has the power to investigate alleged defects or impose a mandatory recall of guns.” 😳

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Don't be fooled.

We need to seriously consider the ramifications of holding rich people with political power accountable for their crimes.

And then double down on that shit.

Everyone needs to be paying attention to what's happening in Tennessee 🚨

3 lawmakers are about to be illegally ousted for joining the 10,000 kids protesting at the state capitol.

Stop following Trump's location and focus on protecting our democracy from fascism everywhere. https://twitter.com/brotherjones_/status/1643063537244291076
