       Listen, a man died. He may not have been a great man and there's absolutely no reason you have to mourn his loss. I'm not.But we are the ones defending the sanctity of life. It's really hard to speak a message of treating people with dignity whether that be immigrants, those of various races, and those of differing religions and yet cheer for the death of a man.This has been a night that lots of toots are turning my stomach.#USpol #CharlieKirk

       @bobkmertz  three high school students shot in a school shooting the same day, silence from most of the media.80 civilians in Gaza City murdered by a genocidal regime on the same day.35 civilians in Yemen murdered by the same genocidal regime on the same day.Elected Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband assassinated a month ago to very little fanfare, this is “normal.”The fact that these other events are “normal” enough to be ignored, while everyone is outraged about a truly hideous, evil person being assassinated, illustrates the backward, cruel, sadistic ethos of American political discourse more clearly than anything I have seen in a very long time.@benroyce

       @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org @bobkmertz@techhub.social @benroyce@mastodon.social The fact that these other events are “normal” enough to be ignored,Only the school shootings in the USA are, sadly, normal. The other two events you described are definitely not normal, but being critical of the genocidal regime in question is "anti-semitic", so people cannot speak out against them or a certain kind of people will start calling you "nazi", "fascist", or "anti-semite", and try to destroy your life.
