Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it. -Timothy Snyder

There should be a national conversation on this topic

CatMom's avatar

Agreed. I just added the link so people can see the whole article.

Yep it's got to be maga they have so much hate for everyone especially Trump he probably put them up to it

Was waiting for something along these lines - for current administration to harden their grip on the throat of America. This horrible event may be a prelude, next logical step for fascist republican party to destroy America, step by step.

I was one sentence in and thought, this responder knows Snyder. ❤️

the amount of eggs that were probably lost… this is heartbreaking

Claudia Vial's avatar

NPR says the IVF lab and stored eggs were not damaged

Bob's avatar

Yeah that’s good news

Elizabeth Cab's avatar

No eggs were lost but one live fully developed human being may have been lost. Personally, I think the targets were the fully developed human beings, not the eggs.

Bob's avatar

Yeah that’s horrible

Holly O's avatar

None were lost! Thank god

Here’s the fucking problem…we have a terrorist leading the FBI and a terrorist running the DOJ. And we all know that these Republicans and Trump are “Pro Life”…cough. So who will investigate this shit???? We never had this crap happen under Joe Biden but I’m sure he’ll get the blame.

And we are allowing racists and drug lord’s families into our country but deporting US citizens and hard working immigrants.

The actual cartel no less!!

What the fuck? Sigh. Under his eye… 👁️

Christian nationalism doesn’t like IVF

Elizabeth Cab's avatar

They also don’t like Non Christian Nationalists. They spared the eggs, but not the fully developed human beings.

Guessing some red hat got their switches mixed and thought it was an abortion clinic.

robopecha's avatar

that was my first thought.

It might be higher ups than just a red hat MAGA nut.

"Federal and local authorities, including the FBI and ATF, are now investigating whether the bombing may be linked to terrorism or targeted violence."

Spoiler alert. It's terrorism. Just because most likely a white Christian did it does not exclude it from being terrorism, but I'm sure the government will find a way to spin it otherwise.

Elle's avatar

Right-wing so-called christians ARE terrorists.

Call 'em what they are. No sense dancing around it delicately.

Linda's avatar

Domestic terrorism.

Gregory Kaufman's avatar

Save the babies, but kill all others. Wtf!

Bob's avatar

Yeah and kill unborn embryos - talk about low IQ out there

Elizabeth Cab's avatar

Excepting they didn’t destroy the unborn embryos and the explosion didn’t occur near them. What they possibly did manage to kill was a born and fully developed human being.

Lora's avatar

So pro life of them

Monique Mazur's avatar

God I hope everyone's OK.

interested observer's avatar

Lay this firmly at the doorstep of the vile criminal felon who has made harnessing, stoking hatred and division the cornerstone of their insatiable, untenable quest for power and to evade justice.

Alison's avatar

To think of all the embryos lost. Heartbreaking.

GuessWeAreHereNow's avatar

Fortunately, the manager has come out and said embryos and eggs are safe!! Thankful for that

They also said all employees were safe, so perhaps the death was from someone on the street or nearby?

Cat's avatar

or a person in the car.

Elizabeth Cab's avatar

Yep. Just possibly killed a fully developed human being. How thoughtful of them to spare the embryos

Lillian Murty's avatar

People go to these clinics because they’re not able to conceive…for whatever reasons. It costs a fucking fortune to go through these procedures. Who the fuck do they think they are…/denying people who want to have children their right to have them. I THOUGHT 47 WAS THE FATHER OF IVP!!!!

Prayers to those lost and hurt in this bombing.

Excuse me!!! What??? trump and the Maga Republican cult have created an environment in this country where a racist grown white women feels comfortable calling a Black child the N-word. trump has created an environment in this country where law enforcement are ignoring the constitution and exhibiting Gestapo like activities against innocent citizens. trump has created an environment in this country where people (Maga) are okay and just fine with foreign nations bribing the president of the United States. trump has created an environment where white people feel it is okay to announce to the world that they have "Black fatigue"?? WTF, we have been minding our own business, but the racist Maga won't leave us alone!!! And, now domestic terrorist feel it is okay to bomb a medical clinic!! YES, we do know who did this!! And it is all the fault and blame of the racist senile orange fool in the White House name trump!!! Always a Maga apologist in the crowd!!

FAIR - pray for all involved and killed

We are not guilty of spreading misinformation, just disgusting it and the possibilities, or likely who is responsible. Nobody here that I am aware of spreads misinformation. That comes from this current administration. Wait for the spin on this.

Elizabeth Cab's avatar

By discussing it in a social media setting in effect spreads speculation which in turn becomes facts as the stories get passed. Telephone tag. One of the major drawbacks of social media that exists.

Christina Lewis's avatar

Only ignorant, unintelligent, lazy people see a discussion on a certain social media platform decide it is fact and run with it! Sounds like MAGA! Most people who listen to and reply to what Parnes reports are intelligent truth seeking people who will go and seek out information! I do enough research into the political environment of our country to make an assertion that the person that did this leans heavily in the direction of Maga! And I am 99.999999% they are a Christian terrorist!!

Denise's avatar

Because the only thing MAGAts know is VIOLENCE.

Rob's avatar

But they are all pro-life, right? Freaking disgusting ass hypocrites! Every single one of them.
