This is the shit that wakes me up at 2:45am and keeps me going the next morning. I'm worried. Because Trump and his MAGAts are going to use this to attack "the left" even more.

And where is this bastard killed? At a University where he was welcomed with open-arms (NOT censored) in a very RED state that thrives on these narratives just as Trump and the Project 2025 gang keep losing ground in the courts (at least when it comes to dismantling higher education).

That institutions of higher education were anti-conservative. His talking points were not "conservative" they were white supremacist, Christo-fascist, neo-Nazi MAGA BS (although that does like to cross the line a lot with modern conservatism, maybe they should look at that).

And he did this mostly at universities (again, peddling the argument that white guys didn't need to be educated because they were superior and (mostly) black women were only there to steal their spots. He thrived on "debating" (it wasn't debating I've seen the videos) and pushing the narrative

2:45am thoughts: Is the Charlie Kirk shooting a "false flag" operation? Here's a walking/talking POS who made his living driving up division and stoking violence against anyone who wasn't white, cis, het, male (and generating grievance by the score if you were a white, cishet, non-wealthy guy)

This! This is what scares me so much. I don't want these young people to feel like that is there only choice, but this constant removal of personal agency, of attacking personhood is awful.

I know the end goal is essentially just get trans kids to kill themselves so the christo-facists don't have deal with trans adults that challenge their world view, but WHY? Seriously, why?

My reading of him is rather limited, but I remember one high school teacher going on about how we all really needed to understand how great Shakespeare was for being so blatant in his sex and scat innuendos... And then never actually sharing them.

Iowa Senate subcommittee passes bill to bar DEI offices at state entities, private colleges An Iowa Senate subcommittee advanced legislation Tuesday to ban DEI offices and officers in certain public and private entities while noting there are proposed changes in the bill still to come.

I'm actively looking for a job. This is beyond horrifying. The one thing my supervisor keeps saying is "we're a private institution, we're not totally safe, but we're safer than most". I say, if you're in Iowa and you actually care about people GET OUT.

Yes, please. I appreciate different perspectives

Thank you for your service

I don't know if George would be enjoying the new material or just horrified at everything.

I need to get the hell out of Iowa. This place is rapidly turning into a shitstorm. I mean, it never felt "great" but now it's really getting awful.
