Ezra Klein Seven companies control a third of the S&P 500 and the algorithms that shape the internet. They’re dividing America — and making killers out of us. We might not agree on gun control, but surely we can agree on not letting Meta, X, and TikTok destroy us from within.

Ezra Klein It’s the Trump, stupid. He lit the fuse and has piled on, continuously. “We are living in an enemy-occupied country. They have taken over the government and we have to think as dissidents.” -Charlie Kirk

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

The Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans. nytimes.com/2025/09/08/us/…

this is all but a fraction of charlie kirk’s honest perspective. he was quite proud of his positions, he defended them voiciferously. not sure why you’d find them distasteful to mention?

Casings from Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter, read “Hey, fascist! Catch! ↑ → ↓↓↓”. The code references the Eagle 500kg Bomb stratagem from Helldivers II, which became a viral meme tied to a powerful airstrike ability in the game.

Soooooo Charlie Kirk’s killer was a straight white cis Christian male from a Republican family?!?!!! Wooooooooooooow

I’m Francesca Hong, and I’m running for Governor of Wisconsin. I’m a single mom juggling two jobs—and I bring my lived experience into every room I walk into. From the State Capitol to night shifts behind the bar, I know what working people are up against.

Excited to share this executive director role at the Geneva Lake Conservancy! Southeastern Wisconsin is an incredible place to explore - and the person who gets this job will have the support of a fantastic board of directors (including me) lindauerglobal.com/searches/open-…
