Pierre and Scheer has a lot to say about freedom of speech but get real quiet when Canadians get threatened.

Things that are violent:

  • Imprisoning and deporting innocent immigrants

  • State-sanctioned murder of black people via police

  • Legislating away the human rights of trans people

  • Forcing women to give birth against their will

The real illiberal, fundamentalist, totalitarian terrorists are on the right. I didn't shed a tear for Kirk and I wouldn't for PP or JK, either.

As and I cannot believe I am applauding what JK said in the tweet. JK is a horrible person through and through.

Nobody is a terrorist for killing Nazis. Charlie Kirk did this for thirteen years and even though he contributed to an incalculable amount of death, he was only stopped by a bullet.

Similarly, it's important to remember that despite millions of people pleading with JK, she is still single-handedly responsible for anti-trans and sexist laws in the UK. There are people who will die because she hasn't been stopped. JK's words are from a person who can and has contributed to genocide without ever getting their hands dirty. She knows that the state that tolerates fascism will always protect her.

I can't believe adults have watched the genocide in Gaza for two years and still think everyone has the privilege of decency in self-defense.

It wasn't even someone fucking oppositional to Kirk, it was another Nazi. Everything here is just so hollow dude ffs.

You don’t need to agree with what she said considering all of it is the maximum level of hypocrisy.

It's weird that she just called herself a fundamentalist
