it's absolutely critical to understand in this moment that people aren't largely reacting to who Charlie Kirk was as a person, but who they knew him as because of what tiny pieces of him got clipped out and stuck in their newsfeeds.
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

Next he's changing the Federal Civil Service to the Federal Civil War
So the Department of Defense is being rebranded to the Department of War..?
What other rebrands are coming?
The Department of Fossil Fuels?
The Department of Disease?
The Environmental Destruction Agency?

Remember two years ago when Israel was completely unwilling to admit they bombed a hospital and even suggesting they did so was considered outrageous...
Now they're just like "But we had to, there was a camera..."
Now they're just like "But we had to, there was a camera..."
Israel justified its strike on the Nasser Hospital, which killed six journalists and more than a dozen others, by claiming a "Hamas" camera was set up there.
The location they attacked is where Reuters and the AP livestream.

Every goddamned time.
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

Jesus christ even Kagan finally found a war he doesn't support even if it largely is because it will obviously bring dictatorship at home
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

apparently Robert kagan, a huge war hawk, thinks that a war with Iran can lead directly to Trump domestic military dictatorship using terror bombings as a predicate
pretty bleak! glad he realized this is an intensifying risk
