That ridiculous dive by Joker after an incredibly physical game (from him) was over is the reason I’ll never root for him.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

We need to talk more about modern mass-shooting as self-glorifying terrorism (not my concept) not political violence.
PBS News is doing more to expose the facts than the FBI…
📌 Many young extremists who grew up on social media and never knew life without school shootings now see public violence as a way to go viral.
So the chaotic confusion we are seeing right now is possibly by design.

Found the schadenfreude thread I was looking for
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Excellent thread
Charlie Kirk wasn’t a political activist.
He was a hate-monger masquerading as an activist.
Wanting gays to be stoned to death isn’t a political position - it’s hate.
Saying George Floyd had it coming and Derek Chauvin should be pardoned, isn’t a conservative position - it’s hate
(1/5)

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”
My sense is that most Americans had not heard of Charlie Kirk until yesterday. The first and perhaps only thing they're going to hear about him from the most trusted and important voices in American politics is that he was a model and constructive participant in good-faith political discourse.

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.
Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms
Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.

Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.

I'd really like for space advocacy and enthusiasm to stop falling for obvious nonsense like near-term Mars colonization.
If you actually researched and this subject, you wouldn't fall for it.

Took my child to the Anne Frank house this summer as they don’t require reading it in school anymore. But banning? Dear god!
Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank.
A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring.
We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down.
Make sure that the truth will out.
