It is entirely possible to be respectful about the death of a person you disagreed with without “honoring” him by vowing to continue his disagreeable, hateful “work.”
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Gov Newsom issued a new RTO mandate of 4 days in office for state employees, a slap in the face to all CA civil servants, particularly working parents, and a huge blow to California's climate goals 👎🏻
As he eyes a presidential run, I hope you all remember that

Remember when NIH got an increase in funding during the first admin? What a time
I'm struggling to understand why Trump and Musk are conducting an all-out siege on American medical research. I understand the corrupt and/or ideological reasons for a lot of the other things they're doing, but the systematic assault on NIH et al feels like destruction purely for destruction's sake.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
