No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

NEW: The Messages on the Bullets are From a Video Game The phrases engraved on the bullets found by law enforcement during the investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk come from a video game called Helldivers2

Ezra Klein's take is just mind-boggingly bad.

Alex (@radicalcopyeditor.bsky.social) I are deeply grateful for the invitation to talk about the current attack on trans folks with Beth Berila on her Changemaking Connections podcast. We need cis folks to show up in larger numbers and with the tools to dispel the lies underlying these attacks.

I did not have Gustavo Dudamel/LA Philharmonic/Cynthia Erivo/Purple Rain on my Coachella 2025 Bingo card

But thankful it happened

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov for bringing the fight to the senate floor. We need more of this politics of disruption from all elected officials and much less (none really) of the business as usual politics. ❤️

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

And no one who “worries” about the impact of hormone blockers/or hormones on adolescents ever talks about how many meds trans kids-adults can come off of because our mental health & other health conditions often improve.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill.

They vote in the morning.

Shocking But Not Surprising Strikes Again (and Again) The Caprices of the Oligarchs Shocking but not surprising is a phrase I've often reverted to in the past eight years, for things that are both hideous and predictable, maybe transgressive against the...

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

43% of social welfare recipients are White. 11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states.

Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive.

Thank you , Rep Garcia. Can you get @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to rally all congressional Democrats to match that energy & become a real opposition party 🙏🏼

There are a lot of important skills sets we will need in the coming months/years, but one of the most important will be generative conflict. As the conditions get worse, we will see more conflict and being able to navigate it well, without loosing each other, will be invaluable.

There are a whole lot of people and communities who have been living and organizing outside of the state for a very long time and it’s worth listening to them in this moment

We’re hearing way too many examples of Senate offices ignoring or being closed to their constituents (in red and blue states).

Unfortunately for these senators, they still work for us — and we have tips and tactics for visiting with unhelpful congressional offices. 👇

Frightening and just so exhausting

I heard white men complaining that she jumped on a fad since Yellowstone became popular. 🤦🏻 Beyoncé was performing at the Houston rodeo before she became famous. She even has a Rodeo clothing line that started long before Cowboy Carter was ever in the works.

“…liberation is a collective practice. How can we cultivate a sense of shared commitment to each other and understand this as part of our organizing? How do we cultivate the kind of commitment to each other that can withstand failures, heartbreak, disappointment, gossip, mistakes and conflict?
