We all know that Israel is committing genocide. Acknowledging that fact doesn’t make you anti-Semitic. It makes you pro-Human.

The cancer is deep when quoting Kirk is deemed offensive.

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” was meant to be a warning not a to-do list. How on earth can the Washington Post be expected to fight against government overreach in crushing dissent when it is doing Trump’s work for him?

This video is from March. In it, Kirk says he's doing the same Nazi salute that Musk did, but he clearly is not doing it, even though he says there was nothing wrong with it.
That's who he was.

Charlie Kirk seems really scared to do the salute he thinks isn’t a Nazi salute 🤔

CLARKSVILLE — @austinpeay has just fired a professor over an “insensitive” post. @clarksvillenow suggests it may have been this one highlighted by @marshablackburn , where he shared an article about Kirk’s comments about gun deaths and the 2nd Amendment👇🏽

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.
