To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.
Hasan Piker explained how fascism is a continuation of capitalism. He is correct:
"Fascism is what is deployed when capital feels the volatility; when capital feels the fear. The final project is never to implement a truly white state or a state comprised entirely of the in-group.
Fascism is simply a means of control when the economic forces make the working class uncontrollable. Fascism is capitalism in crisis and that's precisely the reason why these groypers cannot establish primacy.
Fascism has always served capital. Racist vitriol serves one purpose; it's to divide the working class, to force them away from recognizing their class position and to focus on vulgar tribalism, ethnonationalism, religious differences.
It's a mechanism of deflection to rid the blame from those who are responsible, those who actually control the levers of power. Those who control the levers of power are not organized around ethnic boundaries; they are organized around their class position. They are capitalists. They are self-interested."

There are 14 yr old girls pregnant in an ICE Facility that were NOT when they were detained. We want justice and prosecutions, not reaching across the aisle!
Mediaite: Left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch apologizes for laughing at an “insensitive” joke about desecrating the body of Charlie Kirk.
“On Thursday’s show, I laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk. It was an insensitive joke, and I should not have laughed. I regret it, and I apologize.”
“Whatever our political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence.”

1. Thanks to our big wins on Tuesday, Democrats can now pass bills to help the American people, stop Trump from stacking the courts, investigate the corruption and incompetence, but did you know that we might be able to kill the Electoral College?
Every time the power goes off I light some mood candles slather on some seduce juice ( Brut circa 1974) and sing a little Barry White. I start to smooch on Kelly and the power comes back on and the alarm goes off. Now we’re both craving Mexican and will be asleep by 9:00.
