social media is for sharing observations that nobody you know will appreciate, like how in the bob’s burgers gingerbread house episode, everyone has relatively modern guns except mr. fischoeder’s ancient friend godfrey, who uses 150-year obsolete cap & ball revolvers

Here's one of the posts that State listed as foreigners whose visa they stripped. Ask yourself, how they found this? Unlike the others, it doesn't mention Kirk, nor anything in English.

It likely came from this Facebook post.

www.facebook.com/philippbreit...
A State Department tweet saying, A German national celebrated Kirk’s death and attempted to justify his murder, writing “when fascists die, democrats don’t complain.” Visa revoked. WIth a post, with the name and avatar blacked out, saying, "wenn faschisten sterben, jammern Demokraten nicht" „Wenn Faschisten sterben, jammern Demokraten nicht.“ Dieses widerwärtige Zitat des ZDF-Drehbuchautors und Publizisten Mario Sixtus, veröffentlicht nur Stunden nach dem Attentat auf Charlie Kirk, markiert einen moralischen Tiefpunkt. Wer so spricht, entlarvt sich selbst: nicht als Demokrat, sondern als Zyniker, der das Fundament unserer freiheitlichen Ordnung mit Füßen tritt. Wer den Tod eines politischen Gegners feiert, beweist nicht Haltung, sondern bestätigt, dass er in Wahrheit keinerlei Respekt vor der Demokratie hat – denn Demokratie lebt vom Wort, von der Debatte, vom Streit der Argumente, nicht vom Hass auf Menschenleben. Ja, Charlie Kirk hat radikale Positionen vertreten, ja, er war streitbar und unbequem. Aber er hat die Debatte gesucht. Und solange Debatte, Rede, Diskurs möglich ist, gibt es einen zivilisierten, legitimen Rahmen. Gewalt, Häme über den Tod und Entmenschlichung gehören nicht dazu. Darum sage ich es klar: Jeder, der sich über den Tod eines Menschen freut, disqualifiziert sich selbst als Demokrat. Wer vorgibt, gegen Unmenschlichkeit zu kämpfen, dabei aber selbst unmenschlich handelt, ist ein Heuchler. Der Fall zeigt erneut, wie tief die Risse in unserer Gesellschaft sind – und wie groß die Gefahr, dass die selbsternannte „moralische Elite“ in Wahrheit jede moralische Orientierung verloren hat.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

As I note in this episode, I'm a woman so I'm used to people reflexively dismissing me as "stupid" or "ignorant." So not surprised that happened here.

But I was a young Republican in high school. I would have *never* said shit like this. Ever.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Very specifically, what I mean to say is that it is not fascist to disallow entry based on a social media search. It is far more insidious than that.

And so I also say that I, personally, having met Charlie Kirk, would say that was a man with no regard for anyone except insofar as they served him.

Hi hello I am an American citizen with a very intense knowledge of the first amendment.

Apparently people who are not American cannot say Charlie Kirk "devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynist rhetoric."

I fact checked it.

Charlie Kirk devoted his life to that.

Jail me.

Gavin Newsom is a shitheel who should never be president, but the legislation he vetoed was unconstitutional, poorly written, both underinclusive and overexclusive, a severe privacy infringement for adults, and would have done nothing but cost California lots of money in court (to lose)
