YES--PA will retain their Democratic judges, it looks like by a 61-39 vote. So glad they held the line and by so much. We can and will fight back when democracy and our basic rights are on the line. Thank you PA.

A voice of clarity. I think this article gets at all of it and doesn't yell or belittle.

Okay, I'm beginning to see what people mean about the whitewashing of Charlie Kirk in the news. 🤮 Also, it's gross that the censorship has begun--reporters and commentators being fired for asking questions about gun policies and for pointing out the victim said a lot of hateful things.

I think J-L Cauvin has good insights here about why this time is especially scary. There seems no doubt Trump will weaponize the tragedy. And, again, I think it's the very fact that CK wasn't a public official that will make that especially effective. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRAw...

A quote from an FB acquaintance gets at why the killing of C Kirk feels different. It's precisely *because* he's not an elected official: "So he was, in essence, assassinated for doing debates and being a vocal trumpist. And that's why today's event feels rather uniquely and irreversibly ominous."
September 11, 2025 at 12:21 AM
Even aside from basic, gushy sentimental recoiling at murder, here is another excellent reason why assassins of right-wing figures do the rest of us no favors at all.
Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.
