Charlie Kirk

I won't quote-tweet our main character of the day, but if your complaint is that Charlie Kirk's words are being taken out of context, I'd encourage you to skim through the Media Matters tag for his name. They have hundreds of posts about Kirk and most have longer clips that give the full context.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…I’m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014

Hannity 2025: They all lied. I’m proud that this show got it right. The rest of the media went along with the lie.

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice.

Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how:

By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

Men the Trump administration had sent to an El Salvador mega-prison are exchanged in a prisoner swap The deal involved Venezuela taking them in exchange for "political prisoners," El Salvador's president said. Ten American nationals were also released by Venezuela.

In March, the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan men to a notorious gulag in El Salvador, allowing them to languish there for over 4 months, without due process.

Now, they are being sent to Venezuela in yet another attempt to circumvent the law.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest Mobile network anomalies consistent with cell phone surveillance were detected at a July 4 protest at an ICE field office in Washington state.

The First Amendment guarantees the essential right to assemble peacefully to advocate for any cause.

Reports that the Trump administration may be using invasive surveillance technology to monitor protests against their anti-immigrant polices without a warrant are deeply alarming.

Bob Geldof told Freddie Mercury ‘don’t get clever’ before 1985 Live Aid set Fellow Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May say Geldoff told Mercury: ‘Just play the hits – you have 17 minutes’ Freddie Mercury’s performance with Queen at Live Aid in 1985 is often seen as the crowning glory of one of the greatest showmen the world has ever seen. But he still needed some very clear instructions from Bob Geldof, the festival’s organiser, before going out on stage. “Don’t get clever,” the Boomtown Rats frontman told him, according to fellow Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May. “Just play the hits – you have 17 minutes.” Continue reading...

Remember - most news organizations love the ratings boost that wars bring. I imagine that Fox and the ilk are praying for a domestic battle for just this reason.

Marines Are Deploying to L.A. Area in Wake of ICE Protests The move comes in the wake of protests over immigration.

President Trump ordered active-duty Marines to be deployed against immigrants' rights protestors in Los Angeles.

This unnecessary move only inflames tensions and does nothing to protect us and our rights — the military does not belong in our communities.
