Keep it moving, never give him a moment's peace.
How much can you engrave on a bullet?
I can only think that the Democratic leaders who have made statements about Charlie Kirk are trying to de-escalate things, calm the waters. Because if they actually support him — what he did and what he said, his ideas — then we are even so much more screwed than I imagined we were.
I'm sorry but we DO NOT. Have a democracy. It died when Trump took office. This is where we are. Act accordingly.
I don't support what happened to Charlie Kirk. But Charlie Kirk supported what happened to Charlie Kirk. Irony meets karma.
It is a corrupt system. It is more profitable to skimp medical, food, etc. And to trump up more charges to keep them in there.
I'm for closing all private prisons. No one should profit off of someone who has been stripped of their liberty
During the Dark Ages, things were so bad for the serfs that many of them chose suicide. This lead to the Church making suicide a mortal sin, in service to the royalty because they needed the workers. Instead of making life better. Suicide is up 9% in New Mexico.
Bonus points for the Uff da! (I grew up in Minnesota, my grandmother said that a lot)

Life shouldn't be just #bearable. It shouldn't take a daily fight to keep going. It shouldn't be wondering if it should be rent or food or what your asshole boss is going to do purely out of spite today. I'm not saying it should be carefree and magical, just not a slog. #vss365
THIS! And I shall do so now.
Morning coffee. A nice cool morning headed toward Hades-like temps this afternoon. Windows open. Enjoying the cool morning while it lasts.
You can’t scrub away the truth.
May the media give Mr. Kirk as much attention as "necessary".
I am sorry for gun violence, but he wasn't worth the pole that holds the american flag. He stood for nothing that american stands for. His family, friends, and supporters can honor him anyway they want, but not America. The same goes for Ashli Babbitt. The US owes them nothing. No Honor 🇺🇸

In other news, it has been reported that the model trains at the New Mexico State Fair would not exist if the Fair was moved to Moriarty. Just another reason the Fair should not go to Moriarty. It is elementary, my dear Watson.
Listen Spoke his own eulogy
What's a three letter word for hypocrite? GOP. (Okay, that's not actually a word.)
I really wish they would close them. And if there is a way to take away airport privileges from the airlines making deportation flights, I'd like that too.
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Yes, and there was a reduction in male infertility when the Mumps Vaccine was developed. Vaccines save, and some could say they create lives.
Is that a picture of the First Bimbo?
BINGO!
It's a good thing I can keep a secret!
You can call it an assassination until you know the motives of the shooter. He may have shot him for reasons having nothing to do with politics. Remember, the Republicans (some of them) claimed the attack on Nancy Pelosi's spouse came from his gay lover. Untrue, lacking any foundation. So...
I tried to find a video clip of the refrain from the song "Cell Block Tango" from the musical "Chicago", but couldn't find one. So I'll type it. "He had it coming. He had it coming. He only had himself to blame."
Digital evidence undermines Ghislaine Maxwell's assertions to Trump's lawyers... "They corresponded about discrediting women who raised allegations against them, including in one exchange where Maxwell said she planned to circulate compromising information on one of Epstein’s sexual-abuse victims."
In my normal (for me) manner of playing with words: He had a long liefe. Maybe I should write it as LIEfe. That may make the intent more obvious.
Another poser poses.
I really think we should be paying more attention to the Russians flying drones into Poland. That is likely to get tens of thousands of people killed.
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
And that is how you know they are doing politics, not justice, and certainly not Constitutional law.
Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.
Was it Angel Hair? I really like Angel Hair.
Their system is conclusion first, then find or make up facts to fit that conclusion. That is NOT an investigation.
The most alarming news story of the day is hardly being discussed: 'Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament it was "the closest we have been to open conflict since World War Two"'
Because nothing he says is creditable? Also, I like the pun.
Why? They didn't even pretend to care about the Democratic legislators who were shot in Minnesota. No "moment of silence" in Congress, no flags at half staff. Level the playing field.
You can't give Cash any credit.
Can you say grift? I knew you could!
Kirk said the school shootings were "worth it". I have no sympathy or empathy for him, he had it coming.

Then I'll have to say nothing at all.
He's a f****** Nazi propagandist. And he got exactly what he f****** deserved and the rest of them will suffer similar face this is far from f****** over we are at civil war. This regime keeps putting it s foot on our neck taking away our rights we are going to fight back and this is the beginning
Republican lawmakers are shameless, complete hypocrites. They truly disgust me.
I'm not just another pretty face. 🤓
Or maybe we could improve people's lives so they wouldn't want to end theirs. Just a thought.
These are the real "americnas", he is an european american. He is the inmigrant
See what great things we can accomplish when we work together?
Patriots, call now and report Melania!
Yes! Yes! Yes! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The number of partnerships between ICE and local police has exploded by more than 600% since the start of President Trump's second term. Tell Congress to cut funding for the dangerous 287(g) program NOW.
They could move to New Mexico. Same protections, similar climate, shorter move.
It can be both at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

I'm hoping this is a joke, but I can't be sure.
Hell no. I recognize potential and avoid that kind. If somebody told you the HA was providing "security", would you go?

1969, I think. As I recall, they did it for $500 of beer. Here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamon...
Does anyone remember when the Hell's Angels were hired as security for a concert?
Democrats didn't take the threat seriously from 2021 to 2024. They thought our institutions were strong — and also that our institutions would be self-correcting. They were wrong on both counts. Not Democrats' fault that Republicans want fascism. But it is their fault they didn't kill it in the bud
Poser.
Our servicemembers put everything on the line. I’m proud of our work to increase their pay, access to healthcare and food, and environmental clean up on tribal lands in this NDAA. I ask my colleagues—don’t sink this bill with riders that endanger our military readiness and national security.
I've thought about this a ton over the years. It's become clear that the *primary rhetorical strategy* of reactionaries is to manipulate liberals by appealing to liberal values (free speech, good faith) that they do not share. It works, again & again & again & again.
They would not have to be ashamed if they stood up and refused the illegal orders. There will be court-martials in the future for those who violated their oath to the Constitution.

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.
Trump's owner Putin has now attacked Poland and Trump is asleep at the switch and Hegseth is a strutting clown.
Galileo!
This is what Trump being weak on Putin has brought the world. This is serious. www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...
I'm going to keep saying this: The greatest trick rich people ever pulled was to get poor people to blame other poor people.

This is not a good sign.
"Poland is completely closing the border with Belarus due to its military exercises with Russia on Thursday," — Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The Zapad-2025 exercises simulate offensive attacks. #OSINT
Look I understand that political cultures and legal regulation in Canada and the US are different but I honestly believe that if this happened at my university my colleagues might go on a wildcat strike. If you're an academic, join a union; if you're in one, support it.
