We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

Okay so we no longer have:

Bodily autonomy
Due process
A functioning Supreme Court
A functioning Congress
An apolitical Department of Justice
Dplomacy
Humanitarian aid
An immigration process (unless you're rich and white
Posse Comitatus Act

What's left of our country to save at this point?

Who thinks presidents and members of Congress should not be allowed to play in the stock or crypto market?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I stopped going to Target when they rolled back their DEI initiatives, and I am glad to participate in the current 40 day Target boycott!

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

This is the way.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff.

Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class.

How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally?

Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.
