Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) by @rabihalameddine.bsky.social is long listed for the National Book Award. Pick it up!

Just happened to a family member. It’s effed up.

Because Kirk, like Buckley, made a career out of pushing white supremacist politics behind a mask of polite civility?

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Rest in Peace, Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman. She was targeted and assassinated on June 14, 2025 between 2 am and 3:35 am CDT in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Vance Boelter was targeting 70+ Democrats at the time of the incident.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

In 1998, I lost a cousin to a GSW to the neck. He was 7. Charlie Kirk was no martyr. He lived 24 more years than my cousin and nobody gave a shit about his gruesome death. People die from gun violence every day in the US. Now, Kirk is one of them. Motivation doesn't matter. It's the guns.

More guns and gun violence is not the answer🌊🌊

Exactly. I must've gotten dozens of "you're the only reason I'm still on Twitter!" in the months before I finally left in October 2023. They meant it as a compliment, but it always struck me as confirmation that I was complicit in what that place was becoming, so I left. So can everyone else.

Good night

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Kansas City (and Jackson County) had its single democratic rep stolen by the republican party state dictatorship yesterday and it hardly made the news. To turn our district red, republicans redistricted KC residents to share a representative with people who live 3 hours away.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL: here we go, boss. a big book of letters from all of your horrible best friends JEFF EPSTEIN: oh neat! look at this one from Donald GHISLAINE: that one's fake actually

Three aging, desperate, corrupt authoritarians engaging in war to maintain their power. Trump, Bibi, and Putin.

I regret to inform you that there are still too many things happening.

A quick perusal of the #Epstein birthday book and, slightly off topic, a lot of people have terrible handwriting and don’t seem to be able to keep to a straight line. Oh, and release all the files.

We don't talk about it, because we allowed everyone senior involved in Iran-Contra to simply continue participating in government, media, finance, & polite society, but the reason we're here in 2025 is largely due to the fact that no one beyond these low-level functionaries paid any price for it.

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

If thoughts were crimes, hoo boy

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

This guy’s about as happy as W. And for the same reasons tbt. #SCOTUS

Interesting how balls and strikes look to Roberts like the unitary executive theory in action.

Words are supposed to have consequences. Yet he never seems to face any consequences. While you can’t shame the shameless you can impeach them. #ThirdTimesTheCharm

Democrats who go on CBS should test this ridiculous policy and just repeatedly state Trump is a pedophile.

What Epstein records have not been made public?

edgy!

If someone didn’t ask if he was fucking Satan then what was the point really? #SouthPark

Don’t take my word for it - Lit Hub lists The True True Story Of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) by @rabihalameddine.bsky.social as one of the best reviewed books of the week.

Man, it’s almost as if everyone who said Trump and Republicans would destroy the economy—AGAIN—were onto something.

We have a king and the king has his court jester (aka troll).

This is the lowest IQ administration ever.
