I have never attended a Turning Point USA event nor signed up for any texts from them. Why did I receive 3 texts from TPUSA this afternoon, including one from Erika Kirk, about Charlie Kirk?
⁉️ Are Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA trying to profit off Charlie Kirk’s death? 🤔

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
This is what dictatorship looks like.

also, the idea that marc andreessen had to put up with meaningful bigotry is truly brain breaking. the year andreessen made his first fortune, Amadou Diallo was killed in cold blood by the NYPD for looking like the wrong black guy
I keep coming back to this bit by Marc because it’s literally breaking things over a grievance he literally made up in his head, like this dude became a billionaire in his late 20’s entirely because of the institutions he now wants to destroy

This man spouts the most unfathomably vile, genocidal rhetoric without a peep from his colleagues, meanwhile the only Palestinian-American in Congress was censured for "promoting false narratives" about Gaza

Too bad Sen. Collins isn’t anti- genocide.
Question: “Do you know how many Americans the Israeli military has killed in the past 20 months?”
Sen. Susan Collins: *silence*
Question: “No insight on the Americans killed by the Israeli military, Senator?”
Collins: “I’m pro-Israel”

It would cost you less to pick up the phone and call Zohran Mamdani and cut a deal - he said he wants to be mayor of all NYers.

Zohran delivered the Democratic establishment the thrashing it deserved
It backed another tired, entitled candidate in Andrew Cuomo. Voters finally had enough.
