This is not the way. Especially if a person is condemning violence, they shouldn’t be targeted for their speech.

Notably, many of the entries on the "Charlie Kirk's Murderers" database are people saying things like "I don't think he should have been shot but he wasn't a good person and we should give equal attention to other victims." For this, they try to get you fired!

There’s lots of good reasons, but one of the most important is when we punish children for their parents’ choices, like denying them food if their parents don’t provide it, it destroys our humanity and makes monsters of us. It makes me really sad some of you need that explained.

This is actually a good example of low effort consent manufacturing. The NYT isnt commenting on objective reality (a mayoral candidate can somehow prevent a mass shooting) but how It Will Play. The NYT is simply guessing as to the optics. And by doing so they… create the optics!

A partner at a prominent law firm told me “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.”

Corey doesn’t know anything about anything. If he did, he’d know that famine doesn’t just descend immediately; it takes time for food stocks to dwindle and for the starvation to creep up. THATS WHY PEOPLE CALL IT OUT BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS YOU UNBELIEVABLE MORON

Or, there's a far more straightforward reason. The facts and data have changed. Pro-Palestine advocates have lied through their teeth this entire war, so it's a "boy who cried wolf" situation. There wasn't a famine in Gaza months ago. There is a looming famine now, though.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought. Unlike NYPD officers, your agents don’t identify themselves, wear masks that cover their faces, and have no badges. And now they ignore Immigration Judges’ rulings, too. What law

“The NY Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat running for mayor of New York City, was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the application didn’t allow for the complexity of his background.

You just kidnapped this man off the street because you didn’t like his speech, threw him in a cell for 104 days, ignored court orders, & denied relief so he had to listen to his wife birth their child over a phone. And now YOU want to call HIM the terrorist? Look in the mirror.
