There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.

This seems to be an interesting book for broadening discussions on sex work with students.
I'm thrilled to announce that my first book, Not Sex Work, will be published as part of Routledge's Interdisciplinary Studies in Sex for Sale series in August.
