May surprise you that people who don't use politics to identify who they are as a person are on CoSo.

They are, though...

You can always hit up #FloodTheFirehose and #KidsWillNeverKnow for lighter social media fare.

I learned the value years ago, of knowing when to STFU.

As someone who served in law enforcement ... PLEASE do not take as fact the various reports being posted right now, especially those not citing a source. Law enforcement will follow the evidence and tell you what happened once they know the truth.

*sigh**sigh*

It was a rifle.

From a rooftop just outside of the event.

Witness saw the shooter on the roof before he fired. Told police and Secret Service. They did not arrive at the scene in time to prevent the first shot.

The flurry of follow up shots was law enforcement killing the shooter.

The reason why it sounded like small caliber fire is the distance from the recording microphones.

Gentle reminder that speculation in the immediate aftermath of Big Things Happening is generally unhelpful.

Give it time. Wait for the fog to lift. Hold the hot takes. Do some self-care in the meantime.

PSA: Don't blame CounterSocial for fuckers.

Just use the tools and make them disappear. #RandomThoughts

Remember folks, mute, block and filters are your friend. Please use the tools as you feel necessary for the feeds to be best for you . 💜

And just like that, my plans for going out in a crowd tonight feel a lot different.

Please keep your situational awareness high, folks.

If anyone celebrates an assassination attempt, I will immediately delete my account here. I’m not even fucking kidding. I dislike all politicians, but there’s a line that once is crossed, there’s no turning back. Iykyk, and if you don’t, your opinion doesn't matter.

Ya know what I do when Rumor, and crazy shit are filling my feed.
I turn away and watch this for a while.

Really though—

Keep your focus and your head down.

Reacting to the reactions will just distress you and give momentum to the wrong side of this.

Take breaks. Look at the sky.

Catastrophizing right now helps no one.

U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines releases statement that the Iranian government and their "influencers" are posing as activists supporting anti-Israel protests in the U.S.

The Iranian regime is "even providing financial support to protesters".
