Day Time TV, US Pol, Chilling 

"Fox and Friends" is a day time TV news program, which once meant light news and discussions. Three days ago one of their hosts said that homeless people should be exterminated by "lethal injection."

This remark has gotten the most attention but it was in the context of a "conversation" between the hosts laced with misinformation. eg. the suggestion that there are "billions of dollars" for "mental health" services for homeless people.

@gleick Heads up: Department of War firing people for having such an opinion…this scares me more than the civilian firings because there’s not as much recourse…

@tayfonay Interesting. Even when I first started and was on a big public instance, I never bothered with the local feed. I just carefully curate my follows. @CoachMark

The overwhelming majority of mass shootings have been by conservative extremists (75%) compared to domestic Muslim extremists (20%) or liberal/leftist extremists (4%).

Republicans are going to counter by saying "This information is false because it is from the Jews" just before saying "You are antisemitic because you criticize the genocide in Gaza" because consistency is not their strong suit.

Trump is afraid of Pritzker.

I know it is easy to feel overwhelmed and pessimistic (I'm often both, lately), but the fact that Trump is afraid of Pritzker should let you know that fighting back matters.

Charlie Kirk was killed by other conservatives, probably because he demanded the release of the Epstein Files.

If you are mad about his killing, then you need to take up his demand that the Epstein files be released without any criminal names redacted.

But if you want to attack a political ideology over his killing, attack conservatives; they are the ones who killed him.

Massachusetts Governor DEMOCRAT Maura Healey announced her state will require health insurers operating in the state to cover vaccines recommended by the state’s department of public health.

A Black police officer, David Rose, was shot and killed defending a federal government building last month, and he didn’t get a presidential medal, a congressional moment of silence, or a lowered flag at the White House.

A white civilian, Charlie Kirk, is shot and killed on a college campus, and he gets all those things and a promise of presidential attendance at his funeral.

The Texas Education Agency has now directed school districts to monitor teachers’ social media posts and fire teachers who criticize Charlie Kirk on social media- continuing Kirk’s efforts to have teachers reported and fired for their stated beliefs. professorwatchlist.org

This is the difference between people who really value human life and people who really don't care about life, just the norms-- outward signs of "caring"-- that have always served their interests at the expense of others.

We all just saw MAGAs wailing and weeping and gnashing their teeth over a man whose memory they dropped like a hot rock as soon as it turned out not to be an excuse for a purge.

If somebody isn't writing about *all* political murder, I'm not listening.
