I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

Why can I still be surprised by what he can get away with?
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

When we stand by and watch blatant, violent, and racist attacks on a child and do nothing, we have to admit that this is who we are. And who we have always been. Meaningful change only takes place when our voices are united against this shit.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.
A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering.

“A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators led to the arrest of eight individuals over the last two weeks,” the department said in a release published on Friday. The release lists the names of 38-year-old Tom Artiom Alexandrovich and seven others.

This is exactly where we are.
As best as I can tell, they want us to apologize to men for the lack of sex. Apologize profusely. Ideally while having sex on them — not with them because that would require them to exert energy.
Above all, we should not ever ever ever mention accountability or rights.

So they want people on the left to start promoting laws that legalize child-brides? Punish rape victims, send them to jail because they didn't "want" to be raped? I am so befuddled on what they want the left to actually do. please put it into words so I don't jump to these crazy conclusions.

The thing I like about this is the casual cheating. Senators will be like “he drives the ball 310 straight down the middle” and his caddy is just dropping a new ball after he shanked it out of bounds. Probably shot “68” today.
