People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
It is always tragic when words are replaced by weapons and vitriol is followed by violence. In a civilized society, offensive speech should be met speech.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Apparently, the rogues’ gallery of MAGA—Vivek, Mace, and apparently now Hegseth—all want to be governors all of a sudden.

When we put up serious, new and authentic public servants against these extremists and self-promoters, it presents a huge opportunity to win back power in states across the US.
