Today is a bad day to construct straw men. Stop saying that those condemning political violence are demanding you mourn Charlie Kirk. Stop saying that we are whitewashing who he was or what he did. What we are saying is none of the appropriate processes relevant to a Charlie Kirk involve violence.

A reminder that cheering for a foreign power to defeat democracy in your own country is pretty much the definition of "treason."

I'm a vaxxed Gen Xer. When I got the measles, my sole symptom was spots. Literally nothing else. I felt fine *because I was vaccinated.*
Just out of curiosity:
How many of you were vaccinated as kids in school, and do not regret it one bit? ✋

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

This goes one of two ways: our democracy sinks beneath the ocean permanently (80%) or the backlash against billionaires is shocking in its size, scope and fury (20%)
The latter would take people realizing that a very small group of people are destroying Earth, but it's not as fun as owning the libs

The story is a bit old but my daughter is trying to fly home to Calgary from Puerto Vallarta with Flair as we speak, and it's a fricking nightmare. The paltry amount you save on the ticket is exponentially outweighed by the money-grubbing and headaches.
