Letโ€™s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. โ€” Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

In related news, Trump announced that he will not approve any solar or wind projects, and he gave some more generous taxpayer-funded subsidies to the coal industry.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.ย 

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.ย 

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Thank you to everyone around the world who helped bring Tesla's net income down 71%!

Exactly. Even RFK Jrโ€™s brain worm had more humanity than MTG!

@rbreich.bsky.social Rfk and hhs are collecting protected health info without permission and creating an autism registry. Please report on this. People have to be aware. This terrifies me, because, who they did this to, you know where and when. Iโ€™m terrified by this.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Iโ€™m not convinced that RFK Jr can do any of those things on his own, tbhโ€ฆ my daughter is autistic, sheโ€™s fantastic, and is no doubt functioning far better than he is!

In todayโ€™s atmosphere, itโ€™s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Associationโ€™s list of most commonly challenged books

Unemployment up.

Stock market down.

Mortgage rates up.

Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression.

Are we great again yet?

RFK Jr. started this grift when he read a debunked study by Dr. Wakefield. ๐Ÿ‘€

He saw it as a way to make money. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

He started โ€œChildrenโ€™s Health Defenseโ€, an organization he grifts $500,000 per year from. ๐Ÿค‘

His own children are vaccinated.

Our churchโ€™s organist stood up the next day, announcing her daughter was thereโ€ฆ if she had started to say โ€œpray for Trumpโ€ I was ready to tell my husband to cut her mic off. ๐Ÿคฎ It was disgustingly out of place as was, but she and her husband are huge MAGAts, so not unexpected.

The MAGAts say โ€œBut but butโ€ฆ God performed a MIRACLE!โ€

As if. It wouldnโ€™t have been God performing it, more like Satan for his spawn!

I was today years old when I learned that Measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), a potentially deadly brain inflammation that can happen with measles, can occur days or YEARS after having measles.

Years, guys.

That's why Dems should show up, listen to the first sentence, then walk out.

He's never reacted well to people walking out of his events and he'll go berserk at Dems; descending into incoherent rambling. Except this time everyone will be watching and there will be no ability to sanewash it.

At this point it seems like extraterrestrials are more likely to do anything significant to stop all the illegal shit happening in the executive branch than sitting D politicians are
