UPDATE: All clear at UMass Boston in Massachusetts, sources say it appears to be a swatting call.
The earlier report from WCVB that police confirmed shots were fired is confusing…. Either way, it's good that this appears to be a hoax.

I am also lamenting the demise of truth in this country.
Left or Right, the escalation of rhetoric & the vilification of the former Free Press has led to this split in our country. Our default now is: "No matter who WE are, YOU can't be trusted."
We can't go back to how it was. We need a new way.

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.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.
