You are a patriot and a hero.

I wish I had hope for gun control and that I could believe “political violence has no place in this country”.

But we live in a country that accepts white children being massacred by gun violence.

Not just accepts, but worships violence.

Trump's segregationist agenda is a reaction to Obama And we need to talk about it.

When people say political violence has no place in this country:

People get shocked when I pointed out that gun sales skyrocketed over 200% under Obama, even while he was just the nominee..

And jumped even more when he became president.

Trump has never even acknowledged the shooting at CDC - where an anti-vax gunman sprayed hundreds of bullets - where a police officer died.

He also left behind a wife and child.

RFK Jr returned to publicly spreading antivax lies within days.

Helldivers 2 is getting pulled into the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation Alleged shooter had carved anti-fascist and furry memes into shell casings

“..investigators had found engraved messages on bullet casings recovered at the crime scene, including an unfired shell that included the phrase "Hey, fascist! Catch! ↑ → ↓↓↓" — arrow symbols that match the input required to execute a stratagem in Helldivers 2.”

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

Gamergate never got the attention it deserved

It’s a significant story and folks unfamiliar should Google Karen’s work on it

This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have.

Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.

Anyway, I refuse to be silenced. Washington Post can fire me, but, my pen and my voice will only get sharper from here.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal

Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

Trump’s America is a cruel, ugly, ignorant, fearful, chickenshit America.

Jeanine Pirro on Trump sending troops to Chicago: “Tyranny is when you can’t walk outside and go to dinner”

Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020… when Donald Trump was President.

so it’s tyranny then?

I’m releasing a trove of original music on September 30th, 2025. On all the streaming platforms. Enjoy.

Donald Trump's tariffs are forcing prices to rise.

Here's what we learned today:

John Deere announced layoffs. PepsiCo will increase prices by 10%. Sony is raising PS5 prices in the U.S. by $50 across all models. Electric bills are up 10% so far this year.

I need to make an alt account that’s just “republicans being scared of cities”

I wonder if the MAGA tariff mental gymnastics is as exhausting for them as it is for me watching it

The Censor-in-Chief: Trump’s Whiney Assault on Press Freedom From late-night comedians to respected journalists, the President’s campaign against dissent is chilling.

Trump’s new sport isn’t golf. It’s silencing the press. Colbert, Kimmel, Gayle King, ABC, CNN — all in his crosshairs. Fear is the point. The Constitution is the casualty. But honestly he’s just trying to make his little tiny scared self feel better.
