This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react: "People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down. they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

"It is not just, for instance, that Kirk held disagreeable views—that he was pro-life, that he believed in public executions, or that he rejected the separation of church and state. It’s that Kirk reveled in open bigotry."

Sure looks like Stephen Miller is saying to do away with free speech to silence, jail, and crush those who speak out against his efforts. And the "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk is agreeing with him. Can't believe so many people still claim that he's a "free speech absolutist."
Stephen Miller tweet: The path forward is not to mimic the ACLU of the mid 90’s.

It is to take all necessary and rational steps to save Western Civilization.

Elon Musk reply: Yes

They're also revealing their ignorance of the online economy. Kirk was doing the opposite of persuasion; he was chopping up clips of ill-informed students designed to reassure his followers that their opponents were all morons and it wasn't worth inquiring into their ideas any further

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

As a public figure himself, Kirk did not restrict himself to politeness. He was incredibly crude and cruel about the deaths of other people. Reflecting on his life should reflect the truth.

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.
