Censorship never stops with just one book, one newspaper, one person. The end goal of censorship is always complete control.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Threats were just called in at the DNC and HBCUs across America. We must come together, and with one voice overcome the forces of hatred that seek to divide us. Trump is stoking the flames of hatred and violence but we can’t succumb to it.

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including:
•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive
•America’s supply chain isn’t ready
•Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs
•Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories
