What did Charlie Kirk actually stand for?

Gen-Z For Change launched a website as a compilation of his quotes.

He was honored by members of Congress.

He did little more than resonate with a certain block of conservatives.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

Who really holds the power in the 2025 regime?

It could be Stephen Miller, and not Donald Trump.

A 2020 article from The New Yorker about the way Stephen Miller was already “shaping policy and provoking the President’s most combative impulses” is a good read.

Imagine being angry that the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, has voiced concerns for the poor & immigrants.

NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban.

Here’s how we did our analysis.

Despite a January 19 ceasefire, Netanyahu has continued to bomb northern Gaza, and now has cut off aid into Gaza.

If it were the other way around it would be headline news, but Netanyahu has killed 700 more Palestinians & global silence.😓

Trump filed 60+ bogus lawsuits after 2020 election, lost every single case but 1 (on an irrelevant technicality), the lawyers who represented him were censured, arrested, & disbarred for fraud—& now he signs an EO “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System & the Federal Court.”

Fascist gaslighting 101.

If you are tired of the negativity and need a reality-based silver lining, then this post is for you.

It will be fun to watch Trump and Elon destroy themselves, and the sooner it happens, the better it will be for this country.

LFG, karma!🔥🔥🔥

You cannot surrender to Trump.

I don’t mean “you should not surrender”. That’s also true, and for the sake of your soul may be more important. But at a practical level, Trump is not interested in negotiating a new, stable, preferable status quo. He will always, always, always crank the ratchet.

It is really important to understand - the whole point of them using the Alien Enemies Act is they can end-run due process, which is where the folks caught by ICE have the chance to prove they're not gang members, are legitimate asylum requesters, or are in the US legally - or have citizenship.
Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵
