I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

Itโ€™s of note that during tonightโ€™s hearing the DoJ didnโ€™t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiroโ€˜s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosiโ€˜s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dogโ€ฆand now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

I'm generally so good at staying on top of horrible news, but I literally can no longer keep up with all the fascism. There's just so much.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because theyโ€™re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. Thatโ€™s Fascism.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

In his opening monologue on Monday, Mr. Kimmel had addressed the killing of Mr. Kirk by saying: โ€œWe hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.โ€

Bad headline: "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air โ€˜indefinitelyโ€™ over Charlie Kirk comments"
Good headline: "ABC bows to government pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air โ€˜indefinitelyโ€™"

Kimmel did not criticize Kirk. He said his death was being exploited and implied the killer was pro MAGA

Feel like Iโ€™m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirkโ€™s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with todayโ€™s political mainstream media.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.
