Everyone is in it for the money. You're not going to get pharama exec libs to open up their checkbooks by going against the NBC narrative.

  • DCCC chairman Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney: "It’s disgusting and disturbing that someone was able to carry a loaded assault rifle into a protest against the unjust killing of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, and take the lives of two people and injure another - and face absolutely no consequences,"
  • DCCC senior adviser of strategic outreach Dyjuan Tatro: "no justice, no peace."
  • Tato: "I do not believe that convictions equal justice. But I am convinced that the “not guilty” verdict constitutes a great injustice today. The American legal system is rooted in racism and functions to uphold white supremacy."
  • Rep. Eric Swalwell: "We have more peaceful marching to do," Swalwell wrote. "To where? Every ballot box across our land. Lace up."
  • Texas Dems: "RELEASE: #Rittenhouse Acquittal Establishes White Conservatives and Vigilantes Seeking Violence are Protected in Today’s America "
  • Mayor Bill de Blasio: “Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today. The only reason they’re not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people. To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement.”
  • Cori Bush: "The judge. The jury. The defendant. It’s white supremacy in action. This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken."
  • New York Attorney General Letitia James: "This is a dark day for our justice system. As a lawyer, I respect jury verdicts. But this is yet another reminder that our system needs to be uprooted and reformed."
  • Cuomo: “Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect. We must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are."
  • Representative Carolyn Bourdeaux: "The acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse is an example of why the nation must re-examine self-defense laws in our justice system. When you seek out violence wielding a dangerous weapon, there should be accountability for deadly results."
  • Congressman Andy Levin: “If you need a stunning example of white privilege, please see Kyle Rittenhouse’s verdict."
  • Derrick Johnson, NAACP: "This justice system has once again showcased that there is a system within the system that consistently slaps “other”communities on the wrist and sentences black communities to profiling and despair. Today that system has failed us, right on schedule."
  • Jerry Nadler: “This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest."
  • Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Joyce Beatty called the result “unconscionable." "The ludicrous claim of self-defense is on par with the abhorrent behavior displayed by the prosecution and the judge. It is time for criminal justice reform, and it is beyond time for gun reform," she added. "While today is filled with disappointment, we must continue to champion justice and gun reform, and condemn vigilantism so this never happens again."
  • Rashida Tlaib: “Our justice system is broken. It protects white supremacy. The two people who were killed deserved justice and so did our communities who continue be targeted with violence like this. “This painful verdict sends a horrifying message that bringing violence to a protest for racial justice is acceptable. It's incitement, not justice.”
  • Ayanna Pressley: “Racism & white supremacy remain the bedrock of our legal system."
  • Elizabeth Warren: "There are two justice systems in America. It’s time to dismantle systemic racism & fundamentally transform our broken justice system."
  • AOC: "What we are witnessing is a system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for. My heart still breaks for the communities and families whose grief now compounds, and the countless others who will be denied and deprived in similar scenes across the country."
  • Jayapal: "I'm heartbroken. If we're ever going to tackle racial injustice in America, we have to admit our justice system isn't working for Black, brown and Indigenous people. Then, we have to transform it. It won't be easy but I'm committed to organizing alongside you to make it happen"
  • Nebraska Senator Megan Hunt: "Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist murderer, all of the tough guy congressmen who say they want him to be their intern love it, the justice system is working just as it was designed to, and the courts continue to be debased by right wing opportunists. It is what it is"
  • Jaime Harrison, DNC Chair: "Justice is not always just. There is certainly pain in today's verdict, and we must not forget it as we press on in the necessary work to ensure a better, safer future and a more equitable justice system—one that treats every American with fairness and dignity under the law."
  • Senator Tammy Baldwin: "[Rittenhouse] took the law into his own hands, killing two people and injuring another. They were victims of gun violence and too many families have lost loved ones to these tragedies. I understand why people believe that justice was not served in this case, because I feel the same way."
  • Governor Tony Evers: "No verdict will be able to bring back the lives of Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, or heal Gaige Grosskreutz’s injuries, just as no verdict can heal the wounds or trauma experienced by Jacob Blake and his family."
  • Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes: "The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is what we should expect from our judicial system, but that standard is not always applied equally. We have seen so many black and brown youth killed, only to be put on trial posthumously, while the innocence of Kyle Rittenhouse was virtually demanded by the judge."
  • Julian Castro: "You know damn well that if Kyle Rittenhouse were Black he would have been found guilty in a heartbeat — or shot dead by cops on the scene."
  • Governor Gavin Newsom: "America today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it. That’s the message we’ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation."

The media told everyone Trump was going to usher in a wave of American Fascism and donations to the ACLU subsequently skyrocketed, which took an activist org already teetering against the illiberal attitudes that had taken over their industry and made it completely subservient to the interests of the wealthy neoliberal establishment.

@BlaireWhitesBottom
It's a mix of what @Absolutego said and predisposition.
I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.
-Roger Nash Baldwin (ACLU founding member.)

This statement was made at a meeting to assure the fellow ACLU members that even though they would defend some "reactionary elements," Communism would be the goal. While he later renounced Communism, it doesn't really matter. If an organization is staffed top to bottom with people of one ideological persuasion, it will stay that way until all of those people are removed or rotated out.
Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing. -Conquest's law #2

What the shit said:
Anything he says is automatically invalid when he has his face profile in the top right and pronouns in the bottom as if anybody needs help to distinguish him from any other gender.

These can be this sophisticated? Wow. Other than copypasting like this, how can you tell whether an account is a bot? I have very limited experience with social media.

The biggest tell is when the username conforms to some format along the lines of "first name/bunch of numbers". Or when they joined during the summer/fall of an election year.
But this kind of mass-messaging doesn't just happen via bots. Checkmarks/celebrities rent out their accounts for tweetstorms like this as well

I always find it odd when people bring up the genocide point. Like, you and I both know that information was not out until after Hitler killed himself. So why? Why use it? It can't be a way to manipulate a narrative. You wouldn't be that much of an ass would you? No way.

I'm surprised to see in the list of the politician hot takes posted above, AOC is seemingly the most level-headed of them, making no explicit mention of race, openly wishing to dismantle the justice system, or implying that he had no right to fight back against violent goons.

Kind of dampens the schadenfreude when elected officials all but state that they'd like to institute some system where trials are based on your allegiance to the Party or not.
