Purity tests on the left: my take.
Does the left have a purity-testing problem? In short, yes. I think a lot of us on the left grew up in fundamentalist Christian churches and, while we deconstructed the specific beliefs, we haven't deconstructed the black-and-white thinking, the particular approach

In the fallout of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, I feel like I'm going crazy. I've watched some people I love but have held at arm's length praise him as an "incredible man" (I'm seeing some of these people at a wedding I'm attending this weekend). I'm seeing people condemn "all political violence"

In an orchestra, when a woodwind section plays a note too long to complete in one breath, the instrumentalists are expected to take breaths at different times. We are a network, a team, an orchestra section. When you take a break, others are still fighting. Come back to fight when you are ready. <3
