Can the media please cover how Republicans are literally cheering and calling for more blood and assassinations in our cities?
Don't sugarcoat it. That is literally what they are urging their supporters to do.

@areidross Don't forget that media platforms like @Facebook are very actively facilitating right-wing violence:
1. extremists can meet and build community
2. they can trade/buy weapons on Facebook, plan violence
3. Facebook mostly shrugs, refuses to pro-actively take down pages

@areidross @Facebook We need a comprehensive plan for how we're going to address the rise of armed vigilantes in America (being cheered on by the Republican party)
The plan must:
1. go after the ways they organize on digital
2. the ways they collaborate w/ police
3. access to deadly firearms
