WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin doesn't come out until November here in the UK, but I think I'll pre-order it and put it away as a Christmas present to myself. Perhaps you'll consider doing the same.

on a practical note, gretchen is now out about $1400 a month (DC’s opening page rate is still $70 for writers, yeah?) so please go buy her books (MANHUNT, CUCKOO, and BLACK FLAME) and—very important!—leave short, *glowing* reviews about them online to help with the algorithm

I'm really having trouble processing the relative silence from Barack Obama about a colleague who he'd hosted at the White House, the Minnesota State House Speaker, being assassinated, but rushing to get out a weepy statement about Charlie fucking Kirk.

This is disgraceful. We all know Trump and the American right's views on free speech and that's they want to decide who this right applies to. The race to legitimise this perversion by major American institutions is appalling appeasement that leads nowhere but the gutter.

"We must all be free to debate openly and without fear" is a HELL of a stance to take less than a week after having hundreds of peaceful protestors arrested for saying "Palestine Action."
