This is total projection and gaslighting from @JDVance. If you look at the actual data, the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of politically motivated violence and extremist plots in the U.S. come from the FAR-RIGHT, not the left. (Thread 🧵)

1. Killings by extremists, by ideology

• From 1975 through Sept. 10, 2025: ~3,599 people have been murdered in politically motivated terrorist attacks in the U.S.
• Of those, right-wing terrorists are responsible for 391 murders (≈ 11%), left-wing terrorists for 65 murders (≈ 2%), and Islamist extremists make up the largest portion (≈ 87%) driven largely by the 9/11 attacks.

I’d ask what kind of person would eulogize her husband by making thinly veiled threats against people who had nothing to do with his death, but the answer is the same type of woman who would marry Charlie Kirk.

As a psychologist who specializes in bereavement, her words don’t read like grief at all. They read like rage. Not the grief of someone who lost the love of their life, but the fury of someone whose shared hatred just lost its co-pilot. Let’s break down why this is so chilling 🧵

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed yesterday. Now the entire right is already blaming “the left’s rhetoric” and declaring “This is war!” His death was horrific.

But let’s be really clear: if anyone’s *rhetoric* is responsible, it’s Donald Trump’s and the MAGA right’s (THREAD 🧵)

Just 5 days ago, Trump literally declared “war” on Democrat-run cities. He’s called Democrats “the enemy within.” He’s built his entire political movement on rage, dehumanization, and violence. That’s the rhetoric that’s “poisoning the blood” of America. Not immigrants.

Here’s a transcript of Trump’s “Rose Garden Club” speech. If you ever wondered what full-blown dementia and narcissistic collapse sound like, it sounds like THIS:


Continued (1):

.@RobertKennedyJr was put in charge of HHS specifically to make us weaker, sicker, and more vulnerable. This administration does not want to “Make America Healthy Again.” Every move they make is DESIGNED to POISON, STARVE, TRAP, and KILL us. It’s not negligence. It’s strategy. 🧵 Forcing senior leaders at the CDC out of their positions to roll back vaccine mandates and stop efforts to prevent food-borne illnesses doesn’t just risk more disease and death. It makes Americans UNDESIRABLE to the rest of the world. Who wants refugees carrying viral outbreaks?

Trump’s plan to rip U.S. Space Command HQ out of Colorado and dump it in Alabama is reckless, wasteful, and dangerous. It also dramatically weakens our national security at the worst possible time (THREAD 🧵). Space Command is the nerve center of America’s nuclear defense. It detects launches anywhere on earth, tracks ICBMs, coordinates interagency responses, and protects satellite comms in a crisis. In a nuclear emergency, every second counts — moving it disrupts all of that.

If Trump were a Russian asset, tasked with destroying America from the inside…what would he be doing differently than what he’s actually done since Jan 20th?

Let’s walk through it (THREAD 🧵). ✅ Undermine alliances

A Russian asset would sow doubt about NATO’s security guarantees in an effort to weaken and undermine the alliance [one of Putin’s primary goals].

Trump has waffled on Article 5, threatened to abandon allies and called them “delinquent.”

Trump’s 2AM meltdowns and dictator cosplay aren’t part of a predetermined strategy — they’re collapse. A malignant narcissist, weak and unhealthy, colliding with the one thing he can’t escape: DEATH. And his team knows it, which is why they’re going full-fascist now. (THREAD 🧵) As a psychologist, I can tell you: when malignant narcissists lose control, they don’t fade quietly. They escalate exponentially — rage, smear campaigns, humiliation, projection, even violence. Every move is about punishing those who expose their weakness to claw back control.

.@realDonaldTrump:

1. There is no such thing as networks paying “license fees” to the government for news coverage, you hopelessly deranged lunatic. Broadcast stations need an FCC license, but networks themselves do not “pay up” like that. 2. The First Amendment exists. Remember that pesky document you pledged an oath to uphold and defend before lighting on fire? Its still in effect. The government can’t just yank licenses from broadcast networks because it doesn’t like their coverage, no matter how crazy you are.

🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump just had @PeteHegseth carry out a FULL-BLOWN PURGE of America’s top military and national defense officials. Here’s the full list of who this dangerously unqualified, traitorous ex-@FoxNews hack just axed and the perilous implications for our country (THREAD): ❌ The CJCS (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) → the top U.S. general & principal military advisor to the President

❌ The CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) → runs the entire Navy, responsible for global readiness to attacks from overseas

.@MELANIATRUMP just sent Putin one of the most nauseatingly fake “peace letters” you’ll ever see. Let’s rip it apart, because it deserves to be set on fire and the earth salted. (THREAD🧵) She starts off waxing poetic in comically vague flowery language about children’s “dreams of love, possibility, and safety from danger.”
How adorable. Except she’s writing to the guy LITERALLY BOMBING CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS, SHELTERS, & HOSPITALS. Safe from danger? Try safe from HIM

We can never allow Trump to outrun the shame of his #TreasonSummit. Let’s recap how this started and then review what happened yesterday, which was Trump kissing Putin’s ass in a display so weak and groveling it made his performance in Helsinki look “tough on Russia.”
(THREAD 🧵) Two weeks ago, Trump was raging about Russia “slaughtering civilians” in Ukraine and expressing—for perhaps the first time—disgust with Putin and Russia. He vowed “very harsh sanctions.” He even threatened to send nuclear subs near Russia and pretended to be a tough NATO ally.

“They’re just trying to distract from all the incredible things I’m doing!” —@realDonaldTrump

You keep hearing Trump say this.

But ask yourself…

What exactly are the accomplishments he’s talking about?

Spoiler: there aren’t any. Let’s break it down (THREAD🧵) 1. Trump says he’s “restoring law and order.”

In reality, he’s:
• Purging the DOJ of anyone who won’t protect him
• Threatening to imprison political enemies
• Encouraging state violence against protesters

That’s not “law and order.” It’s authoritarianism.

BREAKING: Trump’s HHS, now led by RFK Jr., just announced it’s shutting down mRNA vaccine development in the U.S.

This isn’t just anti-science—it’s STATE-SPONSORED MEDICAL SABOTAGE. Let’s break down what this means and how many people it could kill (THREAD🧵) The HHS memo confirms a “coordinated wind-down” of mRNA vaccine development.

That includes:

• Terminating 22+ projects
• Killing Moderna’s H5N1 vaccine
• Cutting contracts with Pfizer, Emory, Sanofi, AstraZeneca & more

All in the name of “freedom,” apparently.

🚨Donald Trump *admitting* that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre from one of his properties—is DEEPLY ALARMING for several reasons:

https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1950256617301430443

1. Trump Admits Direct Knowledge of Epstein’s Trafficking Activity

“Epstein…hired people from the spa… I told him we don’t want you taking our people… He did it again, I said out of here.”

🚨 NEW: Trump now claims he “wouldn’t talk to Epstein for years” because “he stole people that worked for me” and “hired help.”

This is a brand new excuse. Let’s take a stroll through his ever-changing lies about Epstein and their relationship (THREAD)🧵

https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1949833222181007709

Trump has repeatedly claimed he “had a falling out” with Epstein — but has never provided a consistent reason.

At various times he’s said:

• “We had a falling out”
• “I knew him like everybody knew him”
• “I threw him out of Mar-a-Lago”
• “We weren’t close”

ALL. LIES.

No, Ghislaine Maxwell was NOT granted immunity. Here’s the truth.

People are misinterpreting the Trump DOJ giving Ghislaine Maxwell “limited immunity.” What she got is called proffer protection — and it’s not what you think. Let’s break it down (THREAD 🧵)

https://twitter.com/kfaulders/status/1948846971357172200

“Proffer immunity” (aka “Queen for a Day”) means that she could talk to the DOJ and they generally can’t use her words against her — UNLESS she lies or commits perjury. It’s not immunity. It’s a legal safety net for one conversation.

The official @WhiteHouse account just posted this fanfic meme of Trump strutting through fireworks and money, flanked by bald eagles, bragging about deportations and “memes.”

Six months in, and the fascism isn’t creeping. It’s sprinting — and it brought a fucking emoji pack. Let’s talk about the real “accomplishments” of this regime. Not the propaganda. Not the cosplay.

The actual consequences of this unhinged cult taking power again.

Spoiler alert: it’s not a “Golden Age.” It’s a dystopian hellscape with a laugh track.

If his tax returns didn’t expose crimes, they’d be public

If the Putin transcripts didn’t reveal treason, we’d have them

If the WH visitor logs didn’t prove corruption, he’d have leaked them himself

And if the Epstein list didn’t implicate him, HE’D HAVE ALREADY WEAPONIZED IT It’s amazing how the guy who NEVER SHUTS UP suddenly goes silent when the receipts would BURY HIM

Everything he hides is a CONFESSION

Everything he attacks is a PROJECTION

MAGA logic: “He’s innocent, and that’s why he’s deliberately hiding everything that could prove it.” 🤔

Let’s break down what Trump’s comment about Ghislaine Maxwell really tells us (THREAD)🧵

Trump: “I’ve met her numerous times since they lived in Palm Beach and I guess I lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well.” 😬 Ghislaine Maxwell is not a political prisoner.

She wasn’t a wrongly accused whistleblower.

She was convicted of grooming and trafficking children for sex.

Let’s be very clear about that.

And when Trump was asked about her, he said:

“I wish her well.” 🫢

WOW. A woman named Sarah from VA called in to @jaketapper on C-SPAN and called him out for “doing a great disservice to the American people” in his relentless attacks on Joe Biden’s cognition—who served America honorably and competently—while being SILENT on Trump’s unfitness 🔥 I will show you @jaketapper’s response to that call, but I clipped it deliberately so that I could preface it by saying that everything she said is 1000% CORRECT and everything he says in response is 1000% BULLSHIT. Take a listen, then I’ll show you @dpakman’s take and give mine.
