The WSJ carelessly spread anti-trans misinformation
The Wall Street Journal’s fuckup while covering Charlie Kirk’s killing needs more than an editor’s note.

He was evil in life and died evil in life. He’s evil in death. His death doesn’t absolve him of the bullshit and real harm he inflicted. Nothing’s gonna change that fact. He died how he lived, full of bigotry. He can rest in piss
I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”
If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

There was like an entire month where every media outlet and social media app (except this one) was like 'Haitians will eat your dog' and that not only endangered thousands of people but also helped swing an election but now you can't say Bad Man Dead because it just wouldn't be decent.

White people really love “civility” even when people are actively calling for harm of marginalized communities
This right here is why so many black folks don't trust white leftists.He spent his short life dehumanizing black folks and helping install the most racist, degenerate POTUS of my lifetime and yet there are so many white leftist/ liberal tears being shed and PoC are chastised for a "lack of empathy"
I'm sorry @jacobinmag.bsky.social but this take, accusing fellow leftists of a "competitive lack of empathy" and "antimoral posturing" whilst saying Kirk "never laid a finger on anyone" is frankly afactual to the point of gaslighting.

I understand folks who don’t celebrate his death, but his death shouldn’t be mourned either. He was garbage.
I find a lot of white people will try and “both sides” his shit. He did not ever engage in good faith discussion. He’s garbage and died as garbage. The world is better without him in it.

It has been…illuminating to see who really did see Charlie Kirk as the enemy vs who actually regarded him as a friend and a peer.
