I usually believe in "slow news" and tend to write about things the next day, but this Kimmel shit is such a mess, I put this together quickly.
Key points: 1. Most people are pretending Kimmel said stuff he didn't.
2. SCOTUS just last year said that you can't do shit like this.

Murder is wrong.
Pogroms are wrong.
Using a murder to incite a pogrom against a small and vulnerable group in society is wrong.
(If I’m not mistaken, an assassination was the excuse for the wave of mob but state-sanctioned violence in Russia in 1881 that gave us the term “pogrom.”)

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is very strange that people think Trump's Iran strikes are a personal reaction to his political problems and not 1) directed by Israel 2) approved by both parties, who are both heavily funded by Israel 3) part of a US/Israel plan set in motion in the late 1970s and rehearsed militarily last year.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
