Blaming mental illness for these slaughters is disgusting. It stigmatizes vulnerable people, very rarely dangerous. It’s a lousy alibi for hate-driven assassinations and those whose racist rhetoric incites them — and for inexcusable inaction on guns. — PolitiTweet.org

This depressing prognosis is a counsel of despair. Taking it for all it’s worth pretty much suggests it’s not worth trying to oust or even defeat Trump. That’s surely wrong. https://t.co/JrpBEQGpQQ — PolitiTweet.org

Good point. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

Yes! I agree with @jorie_graham. This isn’t to denigrate the strong reactions by @PeteButtigieg and a few others, but nobody else has stepped up as powerfully as Beto. The ability to rally in a crisis is one of the things we need in a president. — PolitiTweet.org

At best AWOL. At worst, he’s at the head of the wrong army. — PolitiTweet.org

We have laws targeting “international terrorism” and activities supporting it. We have no laws — NONE — similarly targeting “domestic terrorism” of the kind we witnessed in El Paso. Hate speech laws aren’t enough. This is akin to war. And our Commander in Chief is at best AWOL. — PolitiTweet.org

White Terrorism. @georgepbush has named it what it is. Where are Republicans in Congress? Where is the Democratic leadership? — PolitiTweet.org

My Twitter feed has always said “Words and ideas can change the world.” @jmeacham says “The spoken word can lead to unspeakable violence.” So true. — PolitiTweet.org

Floating the idea of “marrying” strong background checks with the kind of “immigration reform” he knows he’d veto is cruel hypocrisy. Trump must think his followers are unbelievably stupid. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

So now Trump is blaming the media for the El Paso slaughter that he made more likely. That’s not just sick but dangerous. He’s laying the foundation for an executive order suspending rights. Think “national emergency.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The impeachment charges against Andrew Johnson included some trivial nonsense but also contained the grave charge of racist division seeking to reinstate White Supremacy. Had that been the focus, his removal would’ve been more likely. He survived by one vote, mortally weakened. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepEscobar just made the strongest, most healing statement I’ve heard about the president’s shameful role in this tragedy. It was extemporaneous but eloquent and profound. I wish I’d recorded it. Everyone should hear it and reflect on what it means for what we must do now. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

The longer we tolerate this diseased presidency, the more we will be complicit in the hateful violence it stokes and spawns. It’s now a matter of life and death. The framers of the Constitution designed a way out of crises like this. Impeachment proceedings should not wait. — PolitiTweet.org

”Far more Americans have died at the hands of domestic terrorists than at the hands of Islamic extremists since 2001, according to the F.B.I. The agency’s resources, however, are still overwhelmingly weighted toward thwarting international terrorism.” https://t.co/ioF8fbuy7a — PolitiTweet.org

“The people who carry out these attacks are already violent and hateful people, but top political leaders and partisan media figures encourage extremism when they endorse white supremacist ideas and play with violent language.” https://t.co/VBtk1kkjsc — PolitiTweet.org

.@BetoORourke tweeted: "We know what Trump is doing. He stokes racism. He incites violence. We shouldn’t be asking if there’s anything he can do or if he’s responsible for this when we know the answer.” — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

.@BetoORourke, asked whether Trump has been stoking hate against Hispanics, said "What do you think? You know the s--- he’s been saying. He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don’t know, like, members of the press, what the f---?" Amen. — PolitiTweet.org

Cloudflare’s belated termination of service to 8chan is likely to lead a Cloudflare competitor to step in. Money feeds hate. And hate is not a mental illness. It’s a manifestation of evil. https://t.co/pie1DCBJJW — PolitiTweet.org

.@realN8Snyder had lots of concrete suggestions for immediately beefing up our domestic counterterrorism efforts. I hope he describes them in a retweet thread! Or in a DM that I can retweet — PolitiTweet.org

If a million people flooded the switchboard of #MoscowMitch and other Senators, maybe the @senatemajldr would consider convening the Senate to debate universal background checks. One can hope, right? — PolitiTweet.org
