@WorldWideWob Wob, down 4 in game 7 you running the offense through Q?

[William Kory Amyx for Indiana @AmyxForIndiana]

Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.

Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.

That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.

But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.

This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.

Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.

I'll be honest I used to think I kinda knew what was going on. I don't anymore. I don't get it. I'm confused.

[Emil DeRosa @emilderosa]

lol the Right is so funny. It's like this alternate reality where I never left the hypermasculine homophobia of high school in New Jersey behind. Just a bunch of guys afraid to actually like their wives.

OK, let me solve American "economic anxiety" very quickly. I'm gonna sort it out for you in less than ten tweets and then you won't have that excuse anymore. You ready? Here goes.

The cause is capitalism and greed. That's it. Nothing else. Just that.

This shit wild, cause they gave Trump credit for Obama’s economy then blamed Biden for Trump bad economy & ultimately won because of it

A majority of Florida voters chose access to abortion and legalized cannabis while also voting for the candidates that took away access to abortion and criminalized cannabis.

The very definition of voting against your own interests

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

you stupid fucks complained about a demented 80 year old man being president for 4 years then elected a demented 78 year old man to be president.

[Emil DeRosa @emilderosa]

So much of the MAGA bullshit I see is just dudes desperately wanting to be a troll. There's no ideology. They don't care about anything substantive. It's just pure teenage boy bullshit. I know because I was a teenage boy. You're supposed to grow out of it. All time loser shit.

Okay, let's talk about this ridiculous talking point that some conservative men love to use, subsequently betraying their complete ignorance on our military draft.

Claiming the draft is to men like abortion is to women is ludicrous for three big reasons.

“I don’t do politics” is almost always code for “I have abhorrent politics.” No one is ever afraid to say something like “my views are I think the government should make people’s lives better.”
