Today's newsletter is free for everyone.

Here's what I wrote about Charlie Kirk. As I say in the piece, nothing honors the dead more than truth. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
Right wing political commentator Charlie Kirk was shot while appearing at an event at Utah Valley University yesterday. He was struck in the neck. He was pronounced dead at the hospital, but as anyone who was unfortunate enough to see the video of the shooting knows, his death was inevitable the moment the bullet hit him. He was 31 years old. Violence – including political violence – is always bad and it is always wrong. I hope it's not controversial for me to say that, but I truly believe that it's bad. I believe that it's bad no matter who commits it and no matter who the victim is or what the victim has said or has done in the past. It's bad even if, as was the case with Kirk, one makes it one's life‘s work to vehemently argue in favor of a deeply racist politics of which violence was both an essential part and an inevitable and desired outcome. I know that we're not supposed to mention any of that because it’s not seen as polite or respectful, but Kirk himself abhorred the very idea of empathy and I believe that nothing honors the dead more than honoring their truth. Violence is the antithesis of the sort of civic democracy which is already under attack in this country. It's bad because violence begets more violence, taking us even further away from those virtuous civic ideals than we have already strayed. It's bad in this particular instance because those who align themselves with Charlie Kirk are fascists who will no doubt use his murder as an excuse to incite and inflict even more pain, suffering, and persecution upon those whom they see as their enemy than they already are inciting and inflicting. As my friend Andrea Pitzer said yesterday in the immediate aftermath, "shooting Charlie Kirk was never going to help anyone except those who are already trying to destroy the country." She's right about that. Indeed, I suspect a great many of the people who are trying to destroy the country view Kirk's killing as a gift in this very regard. I truly do hope that Charlie Kirk rests in peace. A peace he'd never allow or abide, in life or in death, for those whom he made it his life's work to slander and attack.

Idk why Republicans are mad about other people’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death. He didn’t like empathy and thought deaths from gun violence were okay! He’s getting EXACTLY what he’s been advocating for! You should be happy for him!

Juan Soto really signed a $750 million deal the same night Taylor Swift ended her Eras tour.

They could have coordinated better!

Best part about working from home is that no one can stop you from giving your dog a forehead kiss anytime you want.
