  1. Will the right get all bug eyed about this in the same way they did about Ashleigh Babbitt?
  2. I’m pretty sure Kirk inspired the Professor Watchlist that is responsible for the rabid hysteria we’ve seen at aggy in recent days. This is only going to get worse.
  3. Let’s keep it 100%. Archbishop Oscar Romero was martyred for the faith. Charlie Kirk was not.
  4. According to the National Institute of Justice, since 1990, far right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far left or radical Islamist extremists , including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.
  5. Unless pretending to be an awful person was the hallmark of his grift, then he was not a nice person: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexalisitza/viral-charlie-kirk-quotes?d_id=10591432&ref=bffbbuzzfeed&utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bffbbuzzfeed&fbclid=IwY2xjawMwVaNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHqaPAK9M_Vt9rpdIcCAzkjyWy32uK05J_58YXcXSEj2Zci7C7b-EBzLXVO5s_aem_907SbqM9ee7k-y7l8eJiZA
  6. The Sec and the B1G are not gonna get their way on this one.
  7. Yeah, well… Sen. Maria Cantwell warned her colleagues Wednesday that a bill heading to the House floor that would regulate college sports would solidify an unsustainable and growing gap between the nation’s biggest athletic conferences and everyone else. In a letter to members of the Senate Commerce Committee, where Cantwell, D-Wash., is the ranking member, she references the SCORE Act, which the House is set to vote on next week. The NCAA and its top conferences support the bill. It would provide limited antitrust exemption for the NCAA, override state laws governing paying players in favor of one national statute and remove the possibility of athletes being considered employees of their schools. Cantwell argued it would lock in a “distorted system” that would ultimately favor the Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences — the “Big 2,” she called them.
  8. What? https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/ttu-ranks-ninth-nationally-in-workforce-preparation-of-graduates/
  9. In addressing the need to reduce gun violence, we know what works. Shame on us for lacking the courage to do the right and just thing: The assault weapons ban was part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which included a "sunset provision" mandating that the law expire after 10 years unless renewed by Congress. After the ban expired, the average number of mass shooting deaths per year increased significantly compared to the period when the ban was in effect. One 2024 study suggested that if the ban had been renewed in 2004, it could have prevented as many as 38 additional mass shootings between 2005 and 2022.
  10. Nothing engenders confidence in the FBI like that bug eyed looked on Kash Patel’s face.
  11. Why wouldn’t the Minnesota assassinations do likewise
  12. If that ain’t living by the sword and dying by it, I don’t know what is.
  13. Do you think it was wrong to want to hear from Dylan Roof, Vance Luther Boelter, David DePape, or Timothy McVeigh?
  14. The evil that men do lives after them. The good is often interred in their bones.Requiescat in pace, Charlie.
  15. A student shot two of his peers Wednesday at a suburban Denver high school before shooting himself and later dying, authorities said. Wednesday in America.
  16. I’ll be interested in hearing from Kirk’s murderer. In the meantime, I don’t think he should be enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. He should be remembered as a husband, father, racist, misogynist, bigot, and grifter. And if I had my way, he’d be at home right now with his wife and children. Gun violence did not kill his ideas. It merely sanctified them among the people who are now whitewashing the really awful person he was.
  17. …he gives his people permission to be their worst selves
  18. How much better off would we be if we didn’t have a POTUS who foments violence and encourages hatred. He offered to pay the court costs for those who would violently attack his perceived enemies. Trump is hateful and dangerous because he give his people to be their very worst selves. And they are meeting the moment.
  19. The loss of control might not be the deal breaker some think it is. Texas had all the control in the world as the big dog in the Big12, but gave it up for more money.
  20. Susan Collins must find this attack very troubling.
  21. Si, correcto.. Dos librae. Gracias, Senora. Don’t tell me a bitch don’t know Spanish.
  22. The problem with ethnicity being an unavoidable criterion arises when one understands ethnicity in the context of a shared cultural background or descent. Such cannot be easily discerned by skin, social location or even accent. I’m a black man of light complexion with two black parents with nappy hair. Fiesta employees speak to me in Spanish every time I shop in the store without fail, because, they make incorrect assumptions about my ethnicity. Because it’s so easy to do, the protections should be stronger.
  23. This is so damned depressing.
  24. How is it very clear, pep secretary?
