When students organize, it means adults failed them.
Kids shouldn’t have to do this.

This is a great example, but there's a funny running theme that Vance, who after all has only been a senator and then VP for less than three years, excepts to be treated with POTUS-level traditions and respect, as if anyone in American history has ever cared about "respecting the office" of VP.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Despite Kirk’s belief that empathy is a “made-up term,” I feel empathy towards his wife and kids. I mourn him no more than I mourn the 40+ human beings murdered every day in this country. And in some cases, I mourn his death less because of the beliefs he held that I hold to be repugnant.

Charlie Kirk was pretty much on the wrong side of every issue. The side of bigotry, hatred, and all that comes with it.

Here’s a partial list, but it doesn’t include advocating for women to stay home and serve their husbands.

Charlie Kirk called Simone Biles a “national disgrace” in 2021. She stayed silent—while he wallowed in hate, she built a legacy he’ll never touch. 💪✨ Now she speaks. To everyone exposing his racism and nonsense: keep shouting the truth. Simone wins. He’s forgotten. #SimoneBiles #PLG

Remember the flashbacks at the beginning of The Handmaid‘s Tale, where the main character saw the signs that the United States was morphing into a freedom – suffocating authoritarian country?

Standing Ovation for @kylec.bsky.social for this commentary. I found myself anticipating and mouthing along with the final words…that’s the sign of brilliantly-crafted rhetoric 🎉🎉
COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

This is not the message the country needs. We need unifying leadership to take down the temperature, not exploitative blame-seeking that falsely pins all political violence on one side of the spectrum to fit Trump’s narratives. Enough. Americans are tired of the divisiveness.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

Move along; nothing to see here.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial?
Then posted it on social media?

And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
