Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.
But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

June 6 is also the birthdate of Marian Wright Edelman.
She turned 86 today! She helped to establish Headstart. She is literally the founder of the Children's Defense Fund.
AND...she was the inspiration behind King's Poor People's Campaign, his last campaign before he was assassinated

Ok as an old protestor outside the US I have some advice for the people whose first protest will be the next #HandsOff. Not political advice, you got that covered. Some practical notes.
1) Close-toed sturdy shoes and good socks. Carry moleskin and blister bandaids and share them.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies
The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

Most Christians never "move left."
They are left on the left as the Christian Right leap-frogs itself repeatedly, moving further right,
...further into toxic fundamentalism
...further away from Christ
The Right now looks more like the temptations Jesus rejected, than his Way.
