If people can have their lives upended for speaking unpleasant truths about a deceased right wing celebrity it doesn’t seem much of a leap until they’re losing them for speaking out against living ones.
People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk
Some GOP officials want to clamp down on perceived expressions of schadenfreude about Charlie Kirk's death. Conservative activists are publicizing social media posts that are "celebrating" his death.

Our expectations for right wing media are so low that it’s basically impossible to hold them to account for the ghoulish things they say.
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

When the Stasi asks for your papers, all you have to do is show them your papers and then they famously let you go on living your life. Easy breezy.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.
