Understandably, the Dobbs ruling got most of the SCOTUS-related media attention when it was released to the public last week. But New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen is *every bit* as radical and nation-breaking and may well end up killing just as many people. — PolitiTweet.org

As you think about what happened in Highland Park today, remember that Clarence Thomas—whose wife is a Trumpist insurrectionist—wrote in a ruling days ago that even the gun safety measures in place during the era of the *Wild West* were too progressive and are no longer allowed. — PolitiTweet.org

@bclarksandiego @DJSPINtel Nothing whatsoever. And it is not meant to. Disinformation is merely intended to sow chaos and confusion. — PolitiTweet.org

PS10/ These are just the photos. There’s other info about the suspect’s QAnon fanaticism, religious zeal and love of Trump. Here we see him twice—again—at Trump rallies, and with two apparent far-right “meme” tattoos. And again, for the same reason as before, I include the cuffs. https://t.co/jPQ5XeQeZF — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS9/ I wasn’t going to put photos out tonight, but Trumpist disinformation agents have managed to get “not a Trump supporter” trending and that angers me—as it’s counterfactual—so here you go. Suspect in red pants in first photo, in cuffs in last one (to ensure no glorification). https://t.co/DnLzBlFrUm — PolitiTweet.org

PS8/ What’s amazing is how Trumpists are quick to spread disinformation to keep folks from knowing the suspect is likely one of them—which suggests they think that’d be a bad thing—yet they never reassess being part of a movement that glorifies violence?

PS7/ In any case, if you’ve seen the photo of the suspect in a bright red hat (worn backwards so we can’t confirm it’s a MAGA hat) and a black “Pepe” tee—and if you know that “awake,” like Pepe, is a far-right 4chan meme—you have a good sense of where all this is *likely* headed. — PolitiTweet.org

PS6/ On the other hand some are saying a photo going around the internet—which is definitely the suspect—is of him dressed as the character “47” from the video game Hitman (who apparently dresses just like Trump, too?). So law enforcement will have to sort this all out over time. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS5/ Here is Roger Stone with the most well-known white Trumpist rapper in America (for what that’s worth). The suspect is also a white rapper and thought to be a Trumpist. So the suspect’s “47” tattoo just got a hell of a lot closer to looking like a pro-Trump white rapper meme. https://t.co/NC5CHKSfps — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS4/ The post by the suspect I’ve heard most about—“you are all sinners”—does suggest a potential religious-bigotry motive, though of course we’re told by Trumpists tonight that anyone who colors their hair or has tattoos is antifa (again, what the hell is up with these people?). — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS3/ As for his motives, I am sure we will learn them eventually. I just know that my wife, who is from the Chicago area, immediately told me about the very large Jewish population in Highland Park. I’m sure that was the first thought/reaction from *many* in the Chicagoland area. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS2/ As for the tattoos, I’ve no idea if “47” is from the game “Hitman” or the fact that Trumpist radicals hope he’ll be the 47th president, and no idea if the one under his eye (four notches and a slash to make a five) signifies “45” (Trump was the 45th POTUS) or something else. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS/ I’ve seen the same photos you all have—the suspect draped in a Trump flag, the suspect at a Trump rally—and the same biographical data (the fact of his dad being a Trumpist pol, certain of his social media posts) but until we know for sure I’m sticking with “thought to be.” — PolitiTweet.org

Are you working as hard at preserving American democracy as the insurrectionists are at destroying it?
