A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn't. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it's violence. If only property is damaged it's vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.

Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery
They like to conveniently forget that the parties had a flip. So yes, while the democrats IN NAME pushed all that abhorrent ideals, those democrats are the Republicans today.
Who cares about any of that.
Just ask who do the KKK vote for now
Obama? Harris? Clinton? Biden?

Amy is correct. Therefore, we should take down all the monuments to the Confederates that those Democrats put up.

Probably just God making it spontaneously combust.

Ban the fire department. The GOP building has ways of rejecting illegitimate fires.

Now that's the kind of direct action I like to see!
Will be interesting to see how they handle whoever did this considering the guy who shot up the democratic offices in az and had 100000 rounds a machine gun and a grenade launcher got out on bond to await trial… I have my doubts they will be treated similarly
My first thought was a false flag operation to make the Left look like terrorists.

I was in a Portal, Arizona recently, which is a pretty rural area. On the radio a public service type advertisement came on explaining your rights if you get arrested by or encounter ICE. It felt like something from a movie.

Doesn't look like anything to me.
This could be a Reichstag Fire moment. It’s near the border and gives Trump precedent to strengthen operations there.
I'm not sure they really need a Reichstag fire. Whoever's on board at this point, or any time since Jan 6th, is down for whatever.

Nice.
I love republican party HQ's they so flammable and quirky <3
I'm pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It's strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.
There's no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it's all very civil.

now we are talking
Nature is healing.
“We will not allow New Mexico's broken criminal justice system to dilute the seriousness of this attack."
Sounds like they are declaring extrajudicial punishment for whoever they deem guilty.
Keep in mind that on average over the last century, nonviolent resistance is more likely to succeed than violent resistance (East Timor, People's Power Revolution in the Philippines, etc.). It's all a numbers game- the more people actively supporting resistance, the more likely the resistance is to succeed, and you'll have far more sign-ups when you prioritize nonviolent methods.
(Can't exactly say that I condemn this, but I'll take democracy over revenge/"justice" any day of the week)
The destruction of property while sparing lives is a form on non-violent resistance.

America does not recognize peaceful protest. They are calling them terrorists. Act accordingly.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
