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.

Trump is using the protests in LA to try to seize more power. As a former history teacher, I know that this is what autocrats do. This needs to be a wake up call for all of us.
