From 2023: "There are abusers and there are enablers. There is an overt authoritarian death cult and a soft-focus death cult. The two parties are not the same -- and that's the point. They work in tandem to create this nightmare."

It's a conspiracy theory, I agree... however, I think Musk is likely intentionally influencing a lot of behavior that is forcing people out. 1. Create a problem. 2. Install an AI solution. 3. Make money on contract.

It is entirely possible to be respectful about the death of a person you disagreed with without “honoring” him by vowing to continue his disagreeable, hateful “work.”
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The Epstein case is a multi-system cover up, and how we handle it sends a message to survivors of sexual assault everywhere.
We will not allow the wealthy and powerful to be protected at the expense of survivors. Above all, they deserve healing, peace, and justice.
