According to Trump's new national security policy, expressing anti-capitalist views is now cause to suspect someone is a terrorist.

I'm an anti-capitalist, just FYI.

He wants us to stay quiet. We need to do the opposite.
Capitalism is ultimately an authoritarian form of economics that fosters the rise of billionaires, monopolies, purchased politics, and wealth inequality. We combat authoritarianism with democracy. Economic democracy is the path forward, not more capitalism for the wealthy at the expense of the many.

I know this is besides the point but the #1 research supported way to "get rid" of homeless people is to give them homes. It's called Housing First and it works everywhere it's tried, just like UBI.

Elon Musk is fairly openly fascist, and given his enormous wealth, he's a big threat to democracy across the world.
"I really think there's got to be a change of government in Britain. And you can't... we don't have another four years or whatever the next election is. It's too long.

Something's got to be done. There's got to be a dissolution of parliament and a new vote held."

An hour before Charlie Kirk was shot, Nancy Mace told Jewish Democrat Sara Jacobs: “I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done.”
Nancy Mace plays the victim card on CNN: "It's very one-sided right now. I have never called one of my colleagues the kind of names that we've been called. I've never dehumanized my colleagues."

(Would've been nice for Kate Bolduan to push back on Mace's blatant lies.)

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

There are a lot of people wanting to praise Charlie Kirk while giving themselves plausible deniability for his bigotry.

When quite often, that bigotry is exactly what they are praising.

"I don't agree with everything Charlie Kirk said..."

When people say things like this we should ask them to explain exactly which of the things he said that they agree with.

Remember, Charlie Kirk said that gun deaths were an acceptable cost for gun rights and that we could reduce gun deaths by having more fathers in the home.

10 years ago when Tyler Robinson was just 12 years old, his conservative Republican family started grooming him with guns.

Of course they had no idea that their son would turn out to be an assassin and murder Charlie Kirk.

Isn’t this the model for most mass murderers?

WOW! Patel has completely politicized the FBI. The so called "engravings" on cartridges found with the rifle used in Kirk murder were manufacturers markings, not transgender and anti-fascist messages. This is a gross example of rhetoric gone wild by MAGA. Talk about trying to inflame like Trump

Charlie Kirk treated millions of people as his enemy.

Sorry about your high-brow ideas, but people have celebrated the demise of their enemies since humans walked upright.

I may not be celebrating, but I am far from saddened or upset.

He wanted us to suffer greatly & be subjugated to white men!
If you're celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk, you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency.

If you're using the killing of Charlie Kirk to attack certain groups of people & to declare “war on the left,” you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency.

Woke up this morning to more death threats, including one calling me a "vessel of Satan" and "tool of the devil" from someone calling themselves the "demon slayer." I'm so glad Kirk was someone who Ezra Klein said did politics the right way.

Also, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern of right wing pundits linking Trump’s PA shooting to “the left,” despite the fact that the shooter had no clear politics, was in fact a registered REPUBLICAN (but also once gave $15 to ActBlue), and clearly was suffering a major mental health crisis.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.
