Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.
And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.
reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

It needs to be pointed out that Elon Musk does not live in the UK, he is not a citizen of that country, and his opinions on its politics can only relate to his pecuniary interests. And he’s calling for their government to be overthrown because he’s acquired enough money that he can do it on his own.
Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Charlie Kirk didn't believe in empathy but did believe in gun violence. Suspending people over not being nice about his death is a coward move and the moderation on this site is going the direction of Twitter. Genuinely what's the point of being here instead if it's just as bad?

If your organisation no longer recognises the EHRC as a national human rights institution, we’ve prepared an email template you can adapt.
It can be sent to public bodies like the WEC, the JCHR, and relevant ministers to raise formal concerns about the EHRC’s loss of independence and credibility.

The Gender Census is open again!
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
