For those wondering, this is the terrible horrible thing he said: “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." 🤦‍♀️

One of the things Charlie Kirk believed is that people have a right to free speech: the right to make jokes, to insult, and to provoke. The government's crackdown on free speech — with the media's willing consent — is ironically the greatest insult to his memory.

NY Times headline that says "ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments"

Democracy dies in darkness. Our media has turned off the lights.

62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others.

If you’ve ever wondered what you’d be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)

NY Times article that says: "Trump Amps Up an Obama Strategy to Crack Down on Colleges. Under President Obama, federal rules pushed universities to address sexual misconduct. President Trump is doubling down on that tactic for antisemitism claims."

These two things are not the same, @nytimes.com.
1. Obama never pulled federal funding;
2. Obama was looking at schools that *actually* violated the law, not allowed free speech, after multi-year investigations into claims;
3. Obama admin worked with schools, not against them.

You reposted this with the same misleading headline?

I had the same thought upon first reading it.

Wait until NYT finds out there are people from India who grew up in the Carribbean / South America

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

If Mamdani had checked just Asian or say, Asian and white (bear with me) NYT would never have run that story.

The only reason they ran that story is because of the cultural belief that being Black gives you leg up in society despite research that says that isn't true.

You are only helping aid Trump's narrative by claiming — falsely — that the protestors are the ones in the wrong + the ones escalating violence.

Trump is right that there's an invasion in Los Angeles: ICE and the National Guard.

Oh. I think you may be on the wrong website. We don't support people who do Nazi salutes on Bluesky.

My heart goes out to Joe Rogan and Kanye West. Being the children of divorce is never easy.

Graph titled: Many people in state prisons grew up facing serious family, housing, economic, and educational challenges.

The US allows children — especially Black children — to grow up in poverty. With demographic data, we can see more clearly how many of those kids grow up to fill state prisons.

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Thank you!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
