In spite of how you feel about Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump or politics in general, what does the data say about the rise in hate crimes & political violence?
We checked.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.
Theyβre claiming the signature isnβt real but Iβm going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epsteinβs properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg.
And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.
"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I fought this battle from inside higher ed for a few years, and I consistently saw liberal/progressive faculty open their mouths to defend hatemongersβ speech over their targeted studentsβ speech. I would love to hear some of them reflect on that choice now.

Trump gets: $5 billion in crypto deals, a $400 million plane, millions in deals from Facebook, Amazon, CBS.
Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries.
Corruption, plain and simple.

Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. Itβs a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. Theyβre not just going to hand back power.)

This grotesque nonsense has been normalized long enough.
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didnβt believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

He must resign.
In the former officialβs opinion, it was more likely that the vessel was carrying migrants on a human smuggling run. It would be impossible to know for sure, however, given that any evidence of drug smuggling was destroyed in the attack.
You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *βmigrants *
