Anyone proposing that an official be allowed to revoke the passport of a citizen for criticizing *this* country would be rightly regarded as batshit insane and deeply hostile to this country's laws and traditions.

Proposing that they can do that if we criticize some *other* country?

Fuck. That.

Seeing the New York Times still devoting around 8 top of the page stories to the event, I think about how many school shootings where “only” one person died would barely merit a mention there.

Exactly. 380,000 preschoolers born in Palestine don’t even count as victims.

To a supremacist society, Charlie Kirk matters. To varying degrees, most of the rest of us don't matter. Or at least our humanity is left up for debate among people like Charlie Kirk—which I'm told by Ezra Klein is doing politics exactly—EXACTLY—the right way.

The alien “life form” description was kind. It’s more of a damaging psychotic drug.
This is sad, and your Dad the prophet once predicted "internet's impact on society would be "unimaginable," describing it as an "alien life form" rather than just a tool.

At this point any member of Senate or Congress voting against the release of the #Epstein files should step down or be removed from office...they are complicit, and this is embarrassing for anyone that believes in justice.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

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.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Trump can’t even pretend to care for 5 seconds.
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.

Responding to America’s call, Ukraine sent more than 5,000 troops to Iraq — the third-largest Coalition contingent. Eighteen Ukrainian soldiers never came home.

They wore our flag in a distant war because allies asked, and because freedom’s defense doesn’t stop at borders.👇

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

This coverage of Charlie Kirk is absurd.

As a veteran, peacenik, anti-gun nut, and proud liberal, I do not advocate violence of any kind.

Kirk used his politics as a weapon, and aimed to hurt innocent people.

I am not celebrating his death, but I am lamenting the demise of truth in this country.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.
