Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today.
The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”

The most rabidly bigoted and Islamophobic Republican member of Congress retweeting/quote-tweeting approvingly a rabidly bigoted, in-context Charlie Kirk tweet. Glad to see Republicans are actually sharing Kirk's actual words now.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people?
He still has a job. No apology. No retraction.
Just let us know, Fox.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Charlie Kirk was a 2020 election denier and conspiracy spreader. But he was a 2020 election denier and conspiracy spreader in the right way.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I’ll admit: Charlie Kirk’s politics did not align with mine. And yet, his death is a reminder of impermanence — that no position, no voice, no ideology lasts forever. What remains are the ripples our words and actions leave behind.

This is one of the many, many reasons we should all condemn the celebration of political violence, as Kirk did here: You often don't get to decide when to dismount the tiger. It eats you first.

Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
