Waiting for the retractions from elected officials who rushed to blame the left for the murder of CK, now that the killer (unsurprisingly!) turned out to be a white, gun-loving, conservative male...

You don't get to decry a lack of empathy when the person you idolized literally despised the concept.

Guns should never be used on other human beings, and violence should never be the path to solving our political disagreements. Prayers for Charlie Kirk, and for all who mourn the loss of a loved one at the hands of a gun. We can and must do better, starting now.

Look out for your communities and your neighbors. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening. Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America. ~J.B. Prizker

Not interested in living in a police state. Or an autocratic one. Or fascist. Honestly amazed at how silent my conservative friends are about all this.

Hint: it wasn't good. Among all his misdeeds, bad theology and parenting advice, his 2016 endorsement of Donald Trump might take the cake, as it was critical to that election and devastating for America.

Just learned that James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family has died. What is your take on his legacy?

Turns out that sometimes when a flight is at one o'clock, they mean 1AM. I learned that about nine hours too late. #missedflight ✈️
