If she'd been married and lied about being single or if she'd been a convicted abuser and lied about that she would not be going to jail.
People lie all the time before sex, during sex and after sex.
If you're trans, that's a crime.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.
She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise.
That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump.

I've read Ken Klippenstein blog and the Heritage Foundation paper with the insane proposal to designate trans criminals as terrorists and i've seen the comments made by Trump officials and yes it is all bad.
But they are NOT proposing to label all trans people as terrorists.

Yes, let’s fluff up the life of a guy that was pro-school shootings, pro-mass deportation, anti-Black, pro-genocide, etc.
Charlie Kirk often pointed to his wife, Erika Kirk, and their children as examples of the conservative ideals he sought to uphold. Here's what to know.
Charlie Kirk’s Widow, Erika, Promoted Conservative Values at His Side
Mr. Kirk often pointed to his marriage as an example of a loving, conservative partnership. The pair married in 2021 and had two children.

I suspect some of these reactions come from a place of class consciousness. Didn't matter if he would've said ugly things if Dingell had been assassinated. He was part of the same ruling class as her. His death is a reminder that they're all vulnerable.
"Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan appeared visibly upset while speaking to reporters on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. She said that she cried when she found out that Kirk had died."

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.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

I'm honestly terrified of what the right will use this as justification for. They're itching to engage in violence against their enemies and this will give them the excuse to do so. This is why political violence is never acceptable. It just descends into uncontrollable chaos and more violence.

IMHO Charlie Kirk and people like him are politically violent, but from the administrative/media side. They don’t have to commit acts of violence when they run on vitriol for LGBTQ people, PoC, women, etc. The people that listen to them do it for them. Poli violence is inevitable in this case.
Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

The right wing needs to stop capitulating to radical gun advocates. Reasonable gun control can prevent political violence. Charlie Kirk became a victim of the very thing that his camp blindly defends.

It’s honestly crazy how one in the western world can say “I’m a Zionist” and live a normal life. But say that you’re ISIS and the world will literally bomb you from the sky, despite both groups being the same thing: radical religious fundamentalist groups engaged in supremacist warfare.
