The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Not sure I’ll ever get over the disgust I have knowing so many Americans do not care at all what happens to human beings of all ages after being kidnapped by masked men working for their politicians. Reprehensible, and very much unforgivable.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Republicans did this to Americans when Reagan was POTUS, too.
After 40 years, we are still being negatively affected by the largest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top earners.
Your kid’s kids’ kids will pay for what Trump’s GOP accomplish over these next four years.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented.
Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

“Pathetic” is no longer an adjective that fits any of this. Terrifying, appalling, horrifying, horrendous, nightmarish, unimaginable. Quaint words seem diluted and no longer applicable in our own Third Reich.
