“When we decline to speak ill of the dead, it’s because we have compassion for the living. In this respect, I am sorry for Kirk’s children. I don’t know if Kirk was a good father, but if he was, that does little to mitigate the damage he did to other people’s children.”
Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

‘X number of Palestinians killed waiting for aid’ - every day, same headline, different number, no outrage.
Of all the horrors the world has normalised in Gaza, this is one of the most unforgivable.
The genocide is in its final stage. Any remaining people in Gaza are either starving to death or being intensely bombed. An entire indigenous population exterminated right before our eyes and we did nothing. Nothing.
If you take a consistent position against war crimes - whether committed by Israel or Russia - be prepared to be spoken to like this.
After the show, Camilla Tominey said she “had fun”. It seems like this is just a game for some members of the commentariat.
Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.
Unbearable watching the press blasting headlines about three emaciated hostages - starved by Israel like the rest of Gaza - while not saying a single word about the hundreds of skeletal hostages freed from Israeli dungeons who are completely broken physically and psychologically.
my friends in the west bank are reporting horrifying stories rn… jenin is being bombed and attacked, over 90 palestinians abducted yesterday, everything and everyone that moves gets shot, all the roads are closed trapping people in… and this as soon as trump gets inaugurated.
@RossMcCaff@johnhaffenden The other thing I keep thinking about is “For the innocent Palestinians […] who have lost their lives, this ceasefire must allow for a surge of humanitarian aid”. The humanitarian aid will not help them. They are dead. And you are partly to blame, Starmer.
that neil gaiman article is absolutely insane amanda palmer essentially pimping out a variety of suicidal young women to her sex pest husband for him to rape and molest in front of their child while publically being an outspoken feminist is just beyond the pale
