"The man who shot Charlie Kirk was a conservative white man from Utah. But the fact that we assumed it was a transgender Mexican demonstrates how out of control Leftist rhetoric has gotten." Tomorrow in the Washington Post

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Meanwhile AI is still a great advancement, congrats techbrahs

/6 Also: if a Left-wing activist even remotely as strident as Charlie Kirk had been assassinated, Charlie Kirk would have smirked and applauded, as would have many of the people who are going to be loudest about Charlie Kirk. Don’t buy the hypocrisy.

/5 Watch for the response to be, barely disguised, “they’re doing to us what we want to do to them and that’s not fair!”

/2 We can, and should, discuss whether political violence is inevitable, or whether we’re fooling ourselves because we’ve been swimming in it for a long time. You can note that political violence against the Left (like Melissa Hortman) is treated differently than political violence against the right

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
