'Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing prominent Democrats in 2018 and 2019 before running for Congress' -- just a reminder before you vote in the mid-term election.

Their refusal to denounce violence says to their followers it is an acceptable way to take power. It always astonishes me that the followers can't see that once a nation accepts this principle, the law won't protect them, either.

The media won’t say it, but we just saw an assassination attempt by a Trump cultist enraged and incited by right wing media and the GOP, who tried to murder the Democratic Speaker of the House.

This really happened. Don’t let it be minimized.

Last year, a GOP Congressman shared a depiction of himself killing me. When the House rose to censure, Kevin McCarthy defended him.

Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse.

What has Kevin McCarthy said? Nothing. This is who he is.

Right now big time editors and producers are trying to think of a way to say assassination attempt that won’t offend the people defending the assassination attempt.

It's the quintessential tale of where we are: a man who cavalierly condemned so many women to death, pain & suffering is only concerned about a minor inconvenience to himself. nytimes.com/2022/10/25/us/…

And any coverage of Fetterman's stroke (again, looking at you, ableist politics reporters) should clarify that the brain rewires and recovers for many months after a stroke scientificamerican.com/article/john-f…

Any coverage of the Fetterman-Oz debate that discusses health (looking at you, ableist politics reporters) should focus on the malicious, greedy danger Oz and his pseudoscience pose to public health scientificamerican.com/article/dr-oz-… Timothy Caulfield on Scientific American
