The last time I sat down with Bill Ritter on @abc7.bsky.social was the day after the primary. Since then, our coalition has only grown — including in some unexpected ways.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

time to focus on the family IN HELL, JAMES DOBSON AHAHAH
The comments pass the vibe test.
My day just got a little better.

We’re not distracted and it’s not going away.
Got a new walking pad (so I can walk at night or if there are thunderstorms - central FL afternoons get a little spicy for walking outside.) I timed it to a League of Legends game (starting from champion select - LCK HLE vs GenG) and that proved a fun way to set walk time

Another crochet top done! A little longer than the last. Also ran the gradient from bottom to top rather than side to side. Now to start the next.

There's a super nasty lightning storm moving through and my tortoises are un-bothered.
Ah, Florida in the summer. It does sound lovely, though.

Just finished this crochet top. It is mostly rows of double crochet, one panel, 22in x 50in. Sew a bit at the long edge and then drape a little off the shoulder. Hobbii cotton kings sultan, color 46, and inspired by their green sea poncho pattern.

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

Hi, yes, I'd like to sign up for my employer's EAP program specifically for the anxiety of calling to sign up for my employer's EAP program? Yes, it is EAP-ception. What, that auto-signed me up for it? Great. Oh, my secondary reason? *gestures vaguely at the world outside* shit's on fire?
Ah yes, Florida in the summer. Is it in the PM, in the AM, could be either! (Yes, it's 91F at 9 PM.)

(I ran out to gas up because today-me didn't want to leave it for tomorrow-me. Tomorrow-me will be delighted.)

Sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night, make a note of something, and then have no idea what it was about.

My brain was cooking upsomethin' at 2:35am.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
