This morning, a Trump supporter walked into the home of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and murdered her and her husband in cold blood. He then turned his gun on Senator John Hoffman and his wife. One couple is dead. The other is barely hanging on.
And while law enforcement confirms this was a politically motivated assassination, complete with a hit list of 70 other Democratic lawmakers, the right-wing media machine is already lying about who pulled the trigger.
Theyve spent years feeding their base a diet of hate, calling us invaders, groomers, Marxists, and demons. Theyve normalized political violence. Theyve fantasized about it. And now that its happened, theyre trying to pretend it wasnt one of their own.
But we arent fooled. And we arent outnumbered.
Because the truth is, Texas isnt red. America isnt red. What we are is a country drowning in disinformation and voter suppression, and worst of all, a profound, dangerous disillusionment. The biggest bloc in this state, every single cycle, isnt Republicans or Democrats. Its people who dont vote. And thats not on them. Thats on all of us.
Today, we saw millions in the streets. Thats power.
If youve got rage in your chest and nowhere to put it, start by convincing just one person in your life that their vote matters. Then convince another. And then another. Because 11 million people in Texas stayed home in 2024. We dont need to flip minds, we need to wake them up.
