Charlie Kirk’s death is a tragedy — a young wife widowed, two children robbed of their father. But while we grieve the loss, we must also face the truth: he was no martyr, and his record shows a politics of exclusion, fear, and privilege that cannot be whitewashed.

A couple more thoughts on this. There is exactly one crime defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason. The first definition is levying war against the United States. Trump is explicitly threatening that.
U.S. soldiers are not only permitted, they are *obliged* to refuse an order to commit treason.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

To be sure, both parties have supported ICE in the past.
But Trump has given ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
This isn’t business as usual. This is a fast track to full-blown dictatorship.

It is absolutely critical to correctly diagnose response failures — otherwise we “fix” the wrong things.
There have been claims that NOAA/NWS did not foresee catastrophic TX floods--but that's simply not true. This was undoubtedly an extreme event, but messaging rapidly escalated beginning ~12 hrs prior. Flood Watch mid PM, "heads up" outlook late PM, flash flood warnings ~1am.
WPC issued as many as six MPDs for the deadly flash flooding in the TX Hill Country starting yesterday evening and lasting through much of today. The first MPD generally set the stage for what was to come, while the next three shown were as the event unfolded.
