Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

HHS told that they don't have to respond to Musk's "what did you do last week" email
For those that do respond, they offer the following advice: "Assume what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly."

This whole kerfuffle with Trump being a snowflake about Bishop Budde is kind of funny. I was taught that Jesus’s message of love was met with hostility from the authorities. I guess that makes Trump Pontius Pilate.

There’s something to this. For conspiracy theorists, things that are plain as day are obviously not real. That’s fundamental for them. They end up not believing their own eyes.

When I was in high school, the guidance counselor used to speak really scornfully about easy electives like "underwater basket weaving" but I have contemplated this for 35 years, and I still think underwater basket weaving sounds really hard.
