The Charlie Kirk purge: How 600 Americans were punished in a pro-Trump crackdown
Two months after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a government-backed campaign has led to firings, suspensions, investigations and other action against more than 600 people. Republican officials have endorsed the punishments, saying that those who glorify violence should be removed from positions of trust.

Out of 510,000 NCAA athletes, less than 10 are transgender. They are literally writing an executive order to target less than a hundred people nationwide. Republicans spent over $110 million in anti-trans ads on a made up problem.

Trump is trying to be a dictator. He illegally ordered his cronies to strip away taxpayer dollars that folks rely on for health care, housing, cancer research, wildfire defense—you name it.
This takeover is an unprecedented attack on democracy and hardworking American families.

Trump did a Friday Night Massacre, firing 15 inspectors general, completely ignoring the law that prevents him from doing this, essentially asserting monarchical authority over the government. Total contempt for democracy. Here is how the Times is covering it

We're trying to see if there's a regional aspect to this, so if you've got instagram and want to help out, could you check these hashtags, and report back the result along with which country you're in? #bluewave #democrat #voteblue #dnc #January6 #jan6 #j6ers #capitolattack #obama #biden #pelosi
Searching #liberal or #democrat on Instagram now returns "We've hidden these results", #Republican has no such problem. Seems bad.
