A thing Iβm trying in response
Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.
If your Ezra is Klein, you're on the decline.
If your Ezra is Levin, you're cooking 24/7.
As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirkβs show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was βYou donβt hate the left enough.β
The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirkβwhen he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)βis telling about why the Dems canβt build an antifascist coalition.
It's not lost on me that Trump ordered flags lowered for Charlie Kirk and ordered them raised for Jimmy Carter.
The more white wing media at the Times and the Post try to gaslight people about what Kirk stood for, the more social media accounts, and new media journalists will continue posting receipts.
Noooooooo.

the education department now says it will pull funding from five school districts in northern virginia, just outside of dc.
this isnβt over crime. its about supporting trans students and refusing to comply with anti-trans orders.
"I find myself troubled by Mamdaniβs ties to Uganda" ok well I find myself troubled by my ties to America but unfortunately I was also not in control of where I was born
Theseus fandom goes crazy when you ask which is the right ship
So there are federal agents in the street of DC and human rights are being stripped from queer people around the nation, and queer news outlets are *checks notes* running hit pieces on Zohran Mamdani.
Great.
In a proper country it would be illegal for any organization to call itself a university that isn't a university.

The WaPo has an article detailing the location of Federal forces across the city. While much of this is ridiculous & performative, here's three places I noted with interest, as a DC resident ‡οΈ

Hmmm.

Oh!
It's "Transphobe."
Easy!

Saaame.
Tweet from Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) says: βNYC is f***ed if they elect Mamdani. As bad as it is now, itβs only gonna get worse.β Below the tweet is a graphic showing two side-by-side headshots. On the Andrew Cuomo with text βANDREW CUOMO 48%β. On the right Zohran Mamdani with text βZOHRAN MAMDANI 52%β.
Domestic terrorist Chaya Raichik is endorsing Andrew Cuomo.
Heβs gonna send the troops into our cities to create violence as a pretense for shooting us to control the violence.
Seriously, rock out a little. Shake some of the shit out.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer weβve seen in Minnesota.
Trumpism always deputizes people to do violence on its behalf, something Trump built into it intentionally or not if you think he's smart or not. From his last term, he was able to inspire the Proud Boys, far right militias, neoconfederates in the south, to commit violence & terrorism for him.
