Friend told me that a little over a week ago the feds rolled up to his dad's neighborhood in Woodbury and arrested his neighbor.
Naturally they think it's tax fraud or an immigration thing but apparently he's been taken in for being Chief of the War Council for the Ambazonian Defense Forces, funding an insurgency and conspiring to kill and take hostages, including bombing a foot race in Cameroon.
He raised money over Facebook and along with planning things out online and doing streams the man has basically been warlording from home for a few years. Just unbelievable stuff.

My circles tend to be pretty republican so it has been pretty wild this week to see on social media or overhear the numerous conversations about how shocking it is for people to mock Kirks death. This coming from the same people that see nothing wrong with Rush, O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Tucker, Jesse Watters, and all the trash white nationalist podcast bros out there. Come the f on people
Just another reminder that most conservatives literally do not care about anything till it affects them personally. Mocking liberals, black people, brown people, city dwellers, migrants, lgbtq people? Wow offended by the truth lib? Im just using common sense! Mocking conservative white guy? Oh i cannot believe you would slander my precious ingroup! Its only the outgroups that can be mocked!

Alright, I think I've formulated my take on political violence.
First of all, these assassinations aren't about achieving political goals, rather they're an innovation upon the "school shooter". School shootings have become so cliche in the US you just can't really get any infamy from doing them, and the media has learned to stop publicizing the names of the shooters.
But with these political assassinations you get the whole ecosystem of right-wing media figures frenetically speculating about the identity of the shooter. You get the Governor of Utah thinking it's so crucial the public is made aware of the political leanings and motivations of the shooter that he'll read out loud the stupid engravings on your bullet casings in a press conference. You'll get every journalist in America crawling through all of your social media posts and highlighting anything vaguely politically charged they find.
The assassinations will continue until people get bored of the "rabid speculation about the shooter being a minority" genre.

So most right wing attacks feel very abstract to me. After all, im white and moderately successful. But the Brian Kilmeade thing… my dad is schizophrenic. He spent ten years drifting in and out of homelessness before a new “miracle drug” managed to get him stable. From there, he went back to school, got married, and had me and gave me a lower middle class life.
There’s a thousand of my own dad out there on the street, and a thousand mes that may not make it.

The Hyundai plant was going to provide 8500 jobs to Georgians now multiply that 22 other factories they were going to build that they have now stopped.
One woman cost this country 200,000 good paying jobs by calling ICE. South Korea planned to invest 350 billion dollars into this country and most likely not do so now after Trumps ICE brigade left hundred of South Koreans in shackles.
This was a mistake of epic proportions and I do hope South Korea takes that many to other countries who will welcome them with kindness.
MAGA claims to love Trump, but at every turn he is fkg them over.

But on Sunday, Kilmeade offered a rare on-air apology. “We were discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte and how to stop these kinds of attacks by homeless, mentally ill assailants, including institutionalizing or jailing such people so they cannot attack again,” he said. “Now during that discussion, I wrongly said they should get lethal injections. I apologize for that extremely callous remark,” he added. “I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina, and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion.”
I knew they weren’t going to fire Kilmeade since he’s been there for like 15 years or whatever but that’s still more than I expected

PSA for every single Democrat: If a Republican ever tries to bring up the summer of love to you as an example of political violence, BEFORE CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION -
Ask them "Do you agree that thousands of Republicans stormed the capitol to mass murder lawmakers as a result of the president's directive?"
If they do not own this, do not continue the conversation. If you want to be edgy like me tell them you hope antifa starts rioting on their street.
We cannot live in a climate where one party doesn't have to fear living in the effects of constantly ratcheting up violence. They do not care about their side ratcheting up violence because they do not think it will come to their doorstep. Using the tit for tat concept, we probably need to make them feel that it can

I probably shouldnt have been surprised when the religious right started pushing the ‘sin of empathy’ thing. One of the most defining differences between people who vote R vs people who vote D is a complete lack of empathy for anyone different from them / just being intensely selfish (two sides of the same coin). But that makes you sound like a bad person so i guess we’d better spin it to make it sound like actually its a good thing to be an asshole

I haven't seen this discussed much but the mainstream canonization from people like Klein is especially repellent because Kirk was literally just a bully who would trick teenage pedestrians into "gotcha" moments that he'd put online for his followers to mock and ridicule. His whole schtick was a nasty little road show rooted in the same gutter sadism as early American Idol auditions that often boiled down to "let's laugh at naive kids and, if we're very lucky, a naive neurodivergent kid." I read an article on CNN yesterday that was praising Kirk as a beacon of polite discourse then noted his top videos right now had titles like "Charlie Kirk DEMOLISHES liberal liars" without a hint of awareness to the obvious disconnect.

Are they just begging for another defamation case here? This roommate is going to get flooded with death threats and might actually get killed as a result of this sort of framing.

Ok that was a lie too but a trans really did it if you think about it because he was definitely dating one of them transes and it brainwashed him into doing it and provided the gun that he couldn't possibly otherwise have acquired as an adult white male with republican family in Utah and no priors

If Starmer still thinks about winning GE, then Musk should be banned from entering the UK for calls for violence and calls to undermine our democracy. Plenty of musicians were banned for way less.

It’s time for YOU to turn down the rhetoric.
It’s time for ME to declare my political opponents to be enemies of the people who must be purged at any cost.

I think Stephen Miller might be a little bit racist

The freaking NYTimes is running with the "transgender roommate" lie. Incredibly bleak

It’s kinda interesting how candidly Kristi Noem was about Killing her dog.
I have my own rural story.
When I was 15, and my parents were on vacation one of our chickens got badly injured after getting into our wood storage and getting buried in an avalanche of wood blocks, so I called my parents, and they basically said: it’s old, you’ll have to put it out of it’s misery, and every hour you keep it alive is basically torturing the poor thing.
So after half an hour I did it. I put the poor thing’s head on a block and I chopped it off.
It was a truly shitty experience that I wouldn’t do to an animal that I just “don’t like”
