I don't disagree that this was a bit on the dangerous side and could have put us on a slippery slope. I just need more of us to get louder on the everyday violence the government enables that doesn't get the coverage this did. Varying our brickbats a little is all I want.

Orphan Sponsorship Program In Islam, caring for orphans holds a special place of importance. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his...

Tolerance Rejecting the notion that there is only one way to react to the Kirk assassination to keep our "humanity"

You do you. I'll reserve the right to indifference.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

I would care more about Charlie Kirk’s family’s pain if he had ever given a fuck about mine, which includes a ten year old who has to deal with active shooter drills, a 1st Gen Mexican immigrant mother, and the few progressives in my family who he’s been happy to suggest meet violent ends.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers. One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left. Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Here’s the thing.

It’ll be a cold day in hell before I lower my American flag for someone who sent bus loads of insurrectionists to the Capitol.

Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by political violence.

Charlie Kirk was killed by *gun* violence.

Calloused I don't care about right wing scum because it picks and chooses who it cares about

Thoughts and prayers, shitbag.

The Horseshoe Theory The skeptic in me says it doesn't exist- but some evidence is hard to avoid

The right always insists the left is insane and always will. But maybe it should start acting saner for its own sake.

Collectively Confused Serious commentators cannot agree on what Trump is doing, and that's pretty sad

The president is dumb. End copy.

Working your tits off won't save you. Demanding rights, however...

On left:

ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."

On right:

Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.

DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."

Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.
