I keep reaching new levels of despair and anger I would not have thought possible.

Sick to my stomach. And it probably won't end there. Police said the man had a "manifesto" with others on a list. How many other groups or individuals are bent on carrying out similar actions in other places? But they haul away innocent, hard-working immigrants...

Honestly, never thought that this would happen in America. A country I once was so proud to claim as mine.

H yes! So angry, frustrated and disappointed in our failure to change things for the better after all we have been through over the years! A felon for president, and a portion of our citizens who support his actions! What they are doing across America reminds me in part of the Pogroms initiated against Jewish communities during the 1880’s & the 1930’s

Absolutely horrible. I’ve been praying that things would be peaceful today, but I never expected something like this.

Thank heaven for the huge "No King" rallies. It took our minds off this horrible unspeakably brutal assault for a moment. And now we are frozen in a stunned "what now" stance. It is just too much. Everyone take a breath and take care of yourselves so that we can be strong enough to withstand tomorrow.

Outraged? Yes Surprised? No

These are dark and complicated days when common sense and decency seem to have given way to lies, division, and violence. But the key word is "seem". It's up to all of us to dispel the falsehoods of the current administration and its cult following. We can be a light for each other, each of us can set an example and make a difference. It's the least we can do to honor these two lawmakers whose service has been dedicated to our collective well-being.
