the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

When the key source for an explosive allegation in your Charlie Kirk story tells you, a few hours after you published: "Oh, it was all such a long time ago. I misremembered.... I don’t really know. I just can’t remember stuff so well.” In today's Laurels/Darts.

I would ask you to consider that buying a book by trans creators about trans characters sends a more powerful message about what a publisher should care about and spend their money on than not buying one.

Oh look the Dems strategy of doing more of what lost them the last race. Chasing Republican votes while throwing what could have been your future base under the bus. They don't want to win elections. They want to be controlled opposition.

I covered this as it was happening, so it's kind of surreal to see it being turned into a graphic novel, but the book looks like it will be amazing!

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

You can drop the amount of bombs equivalent to 7 Hiroshimas on a besieged ghetto, half of whom are children and somehow no one condemned 'political violence'. The hierarchy of who is considered human is truly grotesque.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

I have two professor colleagues who have faced threats and harassment due to the organization Charlie Kirk built, and they were not alone. We can denounce and loathe political violence without hagiography for its victims. This is dangerous nonsense.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.
