if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

praise for Kirk from liberal pundits is one of the clearest distillations of how ill-equipped they are for this fascist moment, & how devoted they are to a West Wing fantasy of a respectable right/conservative movement that does not exist, and which - like Kirk - almost never operates in good faith

Raiding homeless encampments is a form of political violence, btw.
The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.
In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

Gavin Newsom sees his political career going down in flames and his immediate instinct is to make a hard right-wing pivot. Not to help people, or even stand on that famously firm centrist ground, no - his first ports of call are Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.

Lol Nick's block has been hot since this weekend. People are driving by, taking photos and videos, he's the talk of the town. If the stated goal is driving the Nazi out of his home, these are not meaningless acts. He's gotta be SO paranoid right now. Sucks for him!
