The guy was a charlatan and serial scapegoater of the marginalized. Truly despicable human being.

Nonetheless, he didn't deserve to be shot. Idk why we gotta pretend he was such a good guy, it's legitimately offensive to principled conservatives everywhere, even if I vehemently disagree with them.
there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

an underrated factor in Trumpian inefficiency is that he runs a court system, so physical proximity and facetime with him are the priorities of his underlings, not actually running their departments

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

She, like most elected Republicans, is a soulless goon.
Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

the contrast between the journalists at 60 minutes who are risking their careers for their independence and the white house correspondents chuckling at nerdprom about how they helped trump get elected is pretty jarring and infuriating

They were talking like that because they thought that liberal feminism had won, and for all our sakes I wish they had been right.

yeah a lot of commentary from the 2010s-2022 looks like the polical-cultural equivalent of ZIRP these days. like you can write about how problématique ‘girlboss feminism’ or whatever is only when people who straight up don’t believe women deserve jobs aren’t ascendant.

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story -
under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all.
