The Big Ship steers hard to port, he likes his chicken spicy & he hates Rupert Murdoch & his media jackals. TBS is still whinging about Bodyline, The Dismissal & how in the fuck Donald J. Trump has again been elected as US President.

unironically, charlie kirk would have considered comparisons of his life to that of MLK to be an insult because he considered king to be a bad human being. he said that. publicly

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

Trump is no 'strongman' when it comes to Russia or Israel. If other democracies donโ€™t step up, anarchy awaits | Simon Tisdall Putin and Netanyahu are creating chaos in the vacuum left by a weak US president. But there are still ways to foil them, says Guardian commentator Simon Tisdall

Excellent piece on how Trump's utter fecklessness is accelerating the descent into global anarchy - and what Europe, the UK, and others urgently need to do about it. A must read.

Fox News must fire Brian Kilmeade โ€“ and completely and utterly denounce his genocidal beliefs. Now.

I'm relatively confident that phone records would show a call coming from the WH to executives at MSNBC...to "discuss" Matthew Dowd's response about the "environment of shootings." No. Actually...I'm very confident.

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common goodโ€”keeping the common good in mindโ€”is a moral attitude. It recognizes that weโ€™re all in it together.

The silence is deafening.

A lot of people are feeling anxious and scared tonight. For their loved ones. For themselves. For their community. For their country.
For our country.

Those who lead us must use their voices, unequivocally, now.

โ€œThe trend in recent years has been for the great majority of extremist-related murders to be connected to some form of right-wing extremism. That is also true for 2024: for the third year in a row, all the murders identified were tied to right-wing extremism.โ€

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the โ€œcivilityโ€ of Charlie Kirkโ€™s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizensโ€™ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Seriously, how do you not understand that Kirk was a victim of the politics he himself created?

If your politics consist of spreading guns everywhere and dehumanizing other people, eventually there will be bloodshed because people who listen to you will have guns and be dehumanizing people.

If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.

Russia's kidnapping of innocent Ukrainian children is an atrocity. These kids are taken from homeโ€”often with false promises of safetyโ€”and many are forced into military training camps. We must work to find them and demand Russia send them home.

I just saw a TikTok like โ€œthe motivations of assassins donโ€™t make sense anymoreโ€ but boy have they never.

Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.

I'm increasingly convinced the only thing that will destroy MAGA is MAGA.

After Trump departs, they will eat each other. It's already happening.

The lies, hate, violence, ego, and vanity and inner fighting.

Dem leadership won't step up. Corporate America is complicit. Institutions are corrupt.

This is unreal.

Jesus would be hanging out with the people Brian Kilmeade wants the state to murder.

They do not follow God

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasnโ€™t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasnโ€™t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending itโ€™s some culture war and it is only in their own minds
