Should I do what Charlie Kirk wanted, and not give a damn about his death? Or should I care—thus rejecting and negating his whole disgusting shtick?

We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

6. Rising to the challenge of moral consistency does not mean supporting your man through thick and thin. It means standing with the victims, whoever they might be, against the oppressors, whoever they might be. And, if necessary, making yourself unpopular in doing so.

Silicon Valley's central claim is that they're futurists—that, via technology, they're engineering a better, brighter future.
It's no longer true.
Their current project is passéism—an attempt, via technology, to wind back the clock to a predemocratic, prescientific, pre-Enlightenment age.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Well. So, Nov 2017, the FBI knew Epstein used videos of underage women. That Epstein was Putin’s wealth manager.
That Epstein was “very close” to Trump. And that Trump went to lunch with Epstein as recently as 2015…so much for that falling out decade(s) before

The trouble with thinking outside the box, or, indeed, inside the box, is when the box itself is the problem. The most significant thing to think may be about the box itself.

In order to stop this fascist takeover, at least 3.5% of white Americans would need to conduct yourselves like Alex Pretti.
That’s 7.5 million or so white people, in the streets; obstructing I.C.E.
Yes, it’s dangerous. Yes, you may lose your job or be injured or be killed.
This is what it takes.
