Three males competed in a women's cycling championship yesterday, with one dominating the race and taking first place.

When members of a women's rights group protested their participation, race officials attacked them.

“Hate speech” is a term used by those in power to describe thoughts they don’t want spoken. It’s antithetical to the First Amendment.

Same here. I am learning to let them go. I’ve held on for years, wanting to prove I’m not an evil bigot nazi. Now… if they choose to believe it, have at it. I am done chasing after them w evidence and reason.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

Convincing my left-wing former close friends on Facebook that Charlie Kirk wasn't a Nazi or a fascist is completely futile because I can't even convince them that I'M not a Nazi or a fascist, and many have known me since early grade school.

The idea that Kirk used stupid college students as fodder to mine for clicks just fundamentally misunderstands what's demonstrated in these clips.

The students can't provide a coherent, non-circular answer to questions like "what is a woman" because no coherent, non-circular answers exist within transgender dogma. There is no grown up version of this ideology. You never progress beyond what's in the children's books.

When you ask anyone of any age to defend the ideology, some may be more confident in their rendition of the dogma, some may use more facile rhetorical gambits, but none will say anything fundamentally different than "a woman is anyone who says they a woman."

It's why the Brown University psychology professor ends up asking Matt Walsh "Does a chicken cry? Does a chicken commit suicide?" in What is a Woman. The Ivy League professor is not any more competent or skilled than the college sophomore. It's why No Debate has always been the rule, why censorship and shaming came before any attempt to persuade, why no attempt to persuade was ever made, and why the recourse to state coercion, threats of violence, and the commission of violence, have accompanied this movement from day one more than anything else that has ever portrayed itself as a civil rights movement ever has.

@texasbreakfast1 @NoIamLiz I found out a decade after I left school that my favorite middle school science teacher was a lesbian. None of us knew!

This might be one of my favorite videos of the Charlie Kirk domino effect.

This man’s wife bought him a suit. He’s never owned a suit before. He looks amazing in his suit.

[Girl patriot 🙏 🇺🇸 🦅 @Girlpatriot1974]

THE CHARLIE EFFECT.

This man has never owned a suit.
He's never believed in God.
He's going to church to wear it because of Charlie. He wants to be a better father, husband, and leader for his family.

My Episcopal church made zero reference. During Prayers to the People I said his name and Iryna. My voice was loud.

1 person after service thanked me. Many others just avoided me.

[Dale Partridge @dalepartridge]

Imagine it’s Sunday, September 13, 2001, and your pastor doesn’t even mention the fall of the Twin Towers.

That’s how absurd it is for those pastors today who refuse to talk about Charlie Kirk.

They don’t know how to meet their people where they are. That’s bad pastoring.

Do not let this story get pushed out of the news cycle

[Tracy S 🦖🪕🧶 @akfirefly76]

@solari_the I am excited to see this new film.

However, my heart hurts when I know all the people I love, intelligent and caring people, will believe the propaganda pushed instead of the film makers.

I tried to get people to watch Vaxxed. Not agree with it, just watch.

Not one would.

[Tracy S 🦖🪕🧶 @akfirefly76]

@wesyang You know better than that. We’ll never know everything. We may be told a lot. But everything?

[Tracy S 🦖🪕🧶 @akfirefly76]

@basilthegreat Can I have context?

Why were the police blocking them? Wasn’t this a peaceful march w permits, etc?

[Serena @Serena_Partrick]

I never paid much attention to Charlie Kirk, he seemed very America focused & I am not American, & I find the "OWNED! DESTROYED!" type video titles really off-putting. I'd completely missed that he interviewed Kara Dansky & Richie Herron, a radical feminist & a gay man I admire.

Now, since his murder, I see lots of people saying he was racist, homophobic, a misogynist, & a fascist...but these seem to be people who never knew him personally, sometimes sharing tiny clips with no context.

When I look around I see:

Black people saying he treated them well, is this what a racist does?

Same sex attracted people saying he treated them well, is this what a homophobe does?

Women, with various political beliefs, saying he treated them well, is this what a misogynist does?

Am I supposed to believe that all of this was acting? A ruse? A clever masterplan, hiding his true evil bigoted face, & all these people have fallen for it?

Because that seems not only far-fetched & paranoid but rather condescending, infantilising, an act of removing agency from people of the marginalised groups you fetishise because they do not agree with you...one might say racist, homophobic, & misogynistic.

The other thing I see are videos of Charlie Kirk himself, again & again saying we have to talk to each other, respectfully, despite our differences, otherwise we foster a culture which will lead to violence...is this what a fascist does?

Because I do not think so, I think the fascists are the ones who kill their political opponents to stop them having a voice.

[Brandon M Showalter @BrandonMShow]

I don’t know any theologically orthodox, conservative-leaning Christians who would gleefully and publicly rejoice in the cold-blooded murder of a prominent secular leftist political organizer and campus speaker.

Not. One.

They’d all pray for the dude’s family.
