Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way
The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

It's not lost on me that Trump ordered flags lowered for Charlie Kirk and ordered them raised for Jimmy Carter.

The more white wing media at the Times and the Post try to gaslight people about what Kirk stood for, the more social media accounts, and new media journalists will continue posting receipts.

the education department now says it will pull funding from five school districts in northern virginia, just outside of dc. this isn’t over crime. its about supporting trans students and refusing to comply with anti-trans orders.

Education Dept. says it’ll pull funding from five Virginia districts over gender policies
The Education Department investigated the schools’ transgender policies after a complaint was filed by a group founded by senior White House official Stephen Miller.

Trumpism always deputizes people to do violence on its behalf, something Trump built into it intentionally or not if you think he's smart or not. From his last term, he was able to inspire the Proud Boys, far right militias, neoconfederates in the south, to commit violence & terrorism for him.

Let's all be very clear that ICE *and* regular cops refusing to identify themselves in any official or legible way is creating a situation that allows murderers and non-state kidnappers to successfully impersonate law enforcement. We had kidnappers do this in Philly this week in ICE costumes, too.

58 years ago today, planes & boats barraged the USS Liberty for over an hour. 34 killed. 171 wounded. Deadliest attack on a US ship since WWII. And Israel did it. Survivors say the truth has been covered up. Indeed, US officials publicly absolved Israel — but privately, it was a different story:

A Cover-Up? Survivors of Israel’s Attack on US Ship Still Waiting for Answers 58 Years Later
A Zeteo special investigation gets a first-hand account of Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty from a survivor and examines why the truth remains so elusive.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.
