A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

People like Stephen King are getting caught in Kirk's deceit. He didn't say gays should be stoned. He said Biblical law requiring gays to be stoned was "God's perfect law." He didn't say it explicitly, but implicitly, and everyone understood his meaning, especially that he was being deceitful.
Charlie Kirk DID say stoning gay people was the 'perfect law' — and these other heinous quotes

America’s slide from divided government to today’s kind of president-decides-all government was not ordained by the Constitution; the founders didn’t slip it in purposefully or accidentally.
It was an invention, mostly of political design.
