Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

mike lee allegedly went to law school and passed the bar. aside from stephen king's claim being true, a dead person's estate can't sue for defamation, on account of the fact that a dead person can't suffer an injury to their reputation, because they are dead.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Crazy how much damage Trump has inflicted in 167 days. Also, friendly reminder that at least 300,000 people died in Iraq, if not a million, so at least 30 times the worst estimates when the conflict started.

ICE agents should be shunned out of polite society. When you meet someone and they tell you they work for ICE, you should recoil as if they told you they work at the puppy slaughter factory. Shame needs to mean something.
ICE raided a popular restaurant in a San Diego neighborhood. About 3 dozen agents, some in full tactical gear, arrested restaurant workers while patrons were enjoying dinner. The ICE agents didn't expect a resounding rejection by neighbors & patrons. The community spontaneously protested.

They offer 'Second Breakfast' (brunch) on Sat. & Sun. The main menu offers Gollum’s Seafood Tacos, Radagast’s Mushroom Burger & Mirkwood Black Bean Burger.
