I truly hope the truth will come out. I feel for this poor family, as well for the family of the other man, Cory Zukatis, who was also found hanging from a tree.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes.

Trump getting booed tells us more than you think.
The sentiment is changing with the average American. It’s time to reach out to people in your life, start warm respectful conversations, ask questions, and be a good listener.

For those who dont follow right wing media, they have January 6th'd the Charlie Kirk murder.
They all believe it was transgender or radical leftist etc and refuse to talk about Groypers.
It's a cult. Lost.
Concentrate on informing and organizing the majority.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him.
A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

The oligarchs of the age instigated the Civil War in an attempt to maintain their wealth through slavery. It sounds like Muskit and others are attempting to instigate a second one to maintain their wealth and power. When will the rest of us learn?
