Political Discourse
Let me be unequivocally clear: politicians, on both sides, need to shut the fuck up.
Every fucking post I see from every Republican or Democrat is calling this "political violence".
There is no suspect in custody.
There is ZERO evidence to support such a statement.
It is irresponsible and dangerous to keep feeding this narrative into the airwaves. All it will do is foment more violence against marginalized people that are already under attack. It will foment violence against Democrats. Not just politicians but us normal people out here in the world.
STOP. PLEASE. JUST STOP.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
