Since the start of his second term, Trump has taken steps to reward right-wing violence while also obstructing the country’s ability to track and defend against acts of extremism. “It seems like a blessing from the highest levels of government,” one expert warns.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly." They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

A Supreme Court oversaw the conviction a former president for attempting a coup to stay in power. Ironic when Brazil is considered a country more capable than the U.S. of implementing the rule of law and whose politicians from both sides in general acknowledged the act was wrong and illegal.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...
