Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”.

-Charlie Kirk

I guess Covid cautious or immunocompromised people aren't allowed to protest. But it's ok for ICE to run around in balaclavas like assholes

Love this book!

Justice Jackson nails where we are right now:

“Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.”

Thank you Greyhound!

Wow. Naval Academy prof to their 3-star Admiral in his letter of resignation: "your legacy will be that of a careerist who banned Maya Angelou but retained Mein Kampf"

the way in which the US economic system seems to kill people who can't cope with it is a genuine public health emergency, but the rate at which it seems to kill people who are by any reasonable criterion succeeding is also a serious policy issue

Brigadoon was holding out

Absolutely every business should do this.

💥🇭🇺 Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor Orbán’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march.

They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.

I agree! Let’s go with that

Since our administration would not fight the Trump administration in court, the faculty had to assume the responsibility of doing so to protect academic freedom.

Trump on Signalegate: "It's a witch hunt."

Most Americans, including 60% of Republicans: Actually, it's a serious problem.

"Increasingly worried the Trump administration will implement the policy agenda they ran on instead of the made up one I ascribed to them" – The entire business community for some reason

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

A picture of Neri Alvarado, a young man, standing next to his brother, who is a young teenager. Both are smiling for the camera and wearing matching shirts. Neri has his arm around his brother.

A picture of Neri's tattoo, which is an autism ribbon in rainbow colors with his brother's name "Neryelson" written on it.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Greenland 1, Vances 0. Congratulations, unwelcoming committee.

Boston-area folks: there have been a ton of raids lately, largely due to the whole "being hell to Boston" threat and Michelle Wu defending our city. Take 5 min today to print 5 copies of these flyers and post in your area. All of us, including citizens, need to know our rights. 👇

Everyone in Somerville, Cambridge, Medford needs to call about this too. Frankly? Every university member and every citizen nationwide should be flipping the F out. How much clearer does it need to be? It never stops with noncitizens (and even if it did, that would not be okay!)

I hope every single Tufts parent out there calls the University and their reps about this.

Facebook (and Meta) don’t want you to read this book. 🤔 What to do, what to do…

I’m so thankful that I work in a store that shares the same values. And I am particularly thankful for owners and coworkers who not only realize that something is not quite right, they quickly course correct. Here is our latest in store display. @belmontbooks.bsky.social

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.

Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”
