The right is trying to turn Charlie Kirk into a modern-day Jesus—literally. He was a tool of a fascist regime, and the regime is continuing its mission by putting his death to use. www.discourseblog.com/p/charlie-ki...

"Kirk's vision of liberty was premised on stripping away the freedoms of anyone viewed as unworthy. This isn’t 'practicing politics,' it’s promoting fascism and extremism." Read @kathkrueger.bsky.social on how you really don't have to sanctify Charlie Kirk. www.discourseblog.com/p/you-really...

"Reading one of our apparently preeminent liberal thinkers say the words 'Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way' makes me feel fully insane." You Really Don't Have to Give It Up to Charlie Kirk www.discourseblog.com/p/you-really...

This is inarguably true, and part of why I thought Pritzker's press conference Monday was so significant: www.discourseblog.com/p/permission...

I've never personally found Pritzker to be all that compelling, but in this specific case, he's doing something really good and important and more Democratic lawmakers should follow suit. www.discourseblog.com/p/permission...

The prerequisite for being an ambitious republican in search of publicity is a willingness to brag about how much of a sloppy piss baby you are www.discourseblog.com/p/theyre-hug...

As the president dispatches national guard troops to harass ordinary residents of Washington DC, it's worth remembering who is calling for all this and why

"In a movement that constantly polices its nebulous borders as an excuse for more stringent purges of those deemed insufficiently obsequious, bragging about how much you’ve filled your diapers has become the go-to way to signal one’s Trumpian allegiance."
