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.

TIL that the “sedative” police have been using on suspects is midazolam -- generic for Versed. It's the component of the anesthesia cocktail for colonoscopies etc whose job it is to keep your brain from forming new memories. Google “police using midazolam” and you’ll see how widespread its use is

According to Google AI:
Louisiana, Mississippi, & Alaska are top of the list for crime.
Do you see Trump sending troops there?
No, because they’re red states.
This is not about crime. This is about a fascist takeover of blue states to stop the midterms.
Stand up. Stand strong.
