I really just think it's class and racial solidarity at work. They see themselves in him and they do not have solidarity with his targets.
The reason Charlie Kirk is being lionized by so many journalists is simple: he was very good at cultivating journalists and it seems a lot of journalists don't seem to understand the concept of being cultivated as a pet reporter in exchange for scoops or leads. They think he was their friend.

Listen, we're straight shooters at Hell Gate. We play no favorites.

Like, say if anyone wracked up speeding violations in school zones, and then parked their car in the middle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. You know what we'd call you? An ASSHOLE. Here's one.

Who parks in the middle of the street in MIDTOWN MANHATTAN? This guy.

Look, it’s not uncommon for recent suburban transplants to hide all day in their luxury apartments. The city can be a little overwhelming when you’re used to Westchester!

lots of liberals crashing out on the "great man theory" on the timeline today. it's ok to acknowledge that there are certain leaders you admire that still did shitty things. we can hold two conflicting ideas in our heads at once. that's, like, fundamental to being human

hey political cartooners - when you make fun of peoples weight, even if you hate them, it's still fatphobic. hope this helps!

i mean the one thing they're uncovering by tanking our ability to buy little trinkets... if you don't keep people buying their little baubles to keep them in happy and distracted... what happens then?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Nothing could make me want to read a book about Meta more than Meta making a huge deal about how they don’t want people to read it

Meta's moves to squash ex-staffer's book 'Careless People' might actually be drawing more attention to it
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta doesn't want former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams publicizing her book, "Careless People." That might draw more attention to it.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
