Charlie Kirk's murderer has been apprehended and will face trial under our existing laws. Kirk's widow, however, states in this fundraising "battle cry" email that she believes far more people are responsible for Kirk's death, some nebulous "they" who represent the "evildoers" who killed him.

In an early morning post today Trump threatened to declare a new emergency in D.C. and federalize MPD again because @mayorbowser.bsky.social said that local police would no longer cooperate with ICE after the last 30-day emergency expired on September 10.

The Supreme Court just made it easier for ICE to stop you ā¦ for being brown. The Court sided with ICE, letting them continue targeting people based on race, language, where they are, or the kind of work they do. This ruling is a setback, but itās not the end.

Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk š www.404media.co/comcast-nbcu...
Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do itā¦ you have to subscribe and pay for the work
that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. itās the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

Weāre peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do? Pick us up and throw us on the ground. No arrest, no identification, no process.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeās work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weāre now not supposed to mention that because itās not polite.
Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
The Deseret News is now reporting that far-right pundit Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck at an event at a college in Utah
Remember the Gaza Humanitarian Fund? The shady American nonprofit run by a Christian Nationalist that was given full control of food aid distribution sites in Gaza? Its parent organization GH solutions hired members of an American white supremacist biker gang to run security for the all the sites.

No clear answers on whether the Washington Post is worth paying attention to anymore
Today, Congress is marking up anti-DC bills to: ā Criminalize sleeping in a car ā Prosecute 14-year-olds as adults ā Give Congress a line-item veto of the DC budget ā Force MPD to rehire officers who commit serious crimes ā Let Trump handpick the DC Attorney General with no Senate confirmation
I only want to see this move forward so it can crash and burn harder than Quibi did. Just bold and confident in such an awful idea
Unfortunately I can't contribute but I'm thrilled to mark this as my first bookmarked post!

Paramount buying The Free Press is another great example of how easy it is to make it in media if youāre willing to spew right-wing talking points and trying to frame them in a way that makes them appealing to a wider audience. No big company is going to throw money at a left-wing publication.

More than 100 progressive groups, churches, and unions are calling on @mayorbowser.bsky.social to push back on Trump's federal surge in D.C. "History is calling upon you to lead... not to cower in the face of an authoritarian who does not have our best interests in mind," they write.

A few people had questions of some of the states on my map such as NY/CA/IL moving up in risk for trans youth. If a state has moved up in risk, it's because of clinic closures at major clinics. I cannot in good faith keep a state low risk if state laws are not being enforced to keep clinics open.
