The violence is all on the right side of the spectrum. These are the people with no plan, no morals, only their petty grievances. Trump must go. He is the cancer on this country.

Got the message this morning that our NE Minneapolis No Kings protest was cancelled due to the shootings. I'm on the same block with one of our state senators and there is a squad car on our corner now. Went down to the corner and our senator was out talking with the neighbors. Our own little No Kings march with our brave senator.

I'm sorry I can't be there - I have to work. My 75 year old MD Husband who protested at UVA in the '60s has gone to Philly!! The trains were Standing Room Only with protesters!

So Bill went to Philly! Looks like an amazing turnout! We were out in force in Santa Fe; I’m an active member of our Indivisible group since 2017. We are cobalt blue, so always a good turnout. Hi to you both from NM…Deb & Larry

Minnesotan here. Horrified and sickened. Thank you for honoring Rep. Melissa Hortman, one of the best in our legislature.

Caused by the hate spewing out of the WH, he has unleashed his henchmen to do & say whatever they like

According to press reports, the shooter was impersonating LE, including driving a replica police SUV, and he had a list of people targeted for assassination. The right wing has been online screaming for blood since the protests started in L.A. Now, somebody did it. This is the end result of ALL of Trump's fascist rhetoric and the cowardly silence of elected republicans.

My deepest sympathies to the families of those gunned down because of right-wing hatred for our country and its people. My heart goes out to all Minnesotans of good will.

This kind of mindless violence shows why our No Kings protests are needed more than ever. Courage, people! Be bold, be loud, stay peaceful and know that history is on our side.

The US Capitol Police have issued a statement that they're currently notifying members of congress who were named in the assassin's target list. Trump is responsible for this deadly violence. AGAIN.

Stay peaceful and safe everyone! My heart will be with the protesters in MN, whose marches have been cancelled because of the senseless violence there. I’m looking forward to joining the protest in Southern Pines, NC.

Why, I ask myself does this happen. I know the answer. It's the things that trump and the senate are saying about Democrats. Their lies have gone to a whole new level and caused so much grief. Everyone of them, that says these things about the Democrats, needs to be held accountable for these crimes. They are instigating them with their words and actions. There needs to be justice for these families and for the people of the USA. Maga people if you didn't believe the harm that is being caused by this president you can no longer turn a blind eye. It's past time for you to face the truth. When you spill hatred to other people it expands into crimes like this. Reach deep into your soul and ask yourself, if this is what you voted for? Is bloodshed what you want? Do you call yourselves Christians, but disobey God's commandments? Look in the mirror and see what you see. A good person or one that is out of control, thinking that crime is okay as long as your leader promotes it. Crime is never okay and a leader that promotes it, is not a leader. He's a crime boss.

Those of us in Minnesota are in shock. Our state legislators work so hard for us for no money. They are true public servants.

We are heartbroken.

They have not caught the murderer yet.

The protests and marches are still happening. People will not be cowed by malicious murderers.

Be well.
