I’m one of the Black professors on Kirk’s watchlist of professors he smeared and wanted to have fired. How is that doing things exactly the right way? Grieve his death, yes. But don’t whitewash his life.
Ezra got this one exactly right, and a lot of you are betraying a total inability to tell the difference between "this person went about the process of advocating for his beliefs in the right way" and "his beliefs are correct."

It’s my personal opinion that you should not be punished because you don’t do things others demand of you. Because this is the United States of America.
It's my personal opinion that if you kneel for the flag and what it represents, you shouldn’t be able to represent the USA at the Olympics.

Um… wut? Which wives? I’ve been married for 28 years, and this is the first I’m hearing of this.
Diligently doing some chores is good
But many wives actually dislike *seeing* their husband do domestic stuff
So you have to wake up early and do it while they sleep, like some kind of magical masculine cleaning elf
Then never mention it.

Do we not get how insane this is?! Musk should not be making battlefield decisions.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

This is obviously true. They are men and WNBA rules say only women can play. Case closed. Off to the next phony outrage story.
BREAKING: The WNBA told Congress that Enes Freedom and Royce White are ineligible to play in the league because they are men and only women are eligible to play in the WNBA.

NEW: It turns out, Democrats for Mike Rogers was financed by Republican donors. The group also paid a ex-Dem council member 30k. She went on Fox News to tout Rogers/trash El-Sayed and never disclosed the payment.

Here's an extremely gentle interview between Acton's mother and Operation Rescue in 2020 where she admits: 1.) the allegation was made (one of at least two against the same man) 2.) it got to a grand jury in 1978 and 3.) she left town with the husband to escape it.
Amy Acton claims her mother and stepfather abused her as a child and that criminal charges were filed against them.
Acton's mother says that isn't true.
This conflict can easily be resolved by finding a record of the charges.
Community note
National Review has uncovered court documents showing what they describe as an "extensive record" of abuse by Acton's mother. They also point to Donna Arthur's own criminal history, including a 1996 guilty plea to theft and 2021 animal abuse accusation.

Speaks to this dude’s character. Or lack thereof.

This is some weak crap. It was Donald Trump who used this term. Nowhere in this tweet does the ADL mention his name. I guarantee if someone else (say a Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan) had used that term, the ADL would not have used kid gloves while calling it out.
The term “Shylock” is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community.
Community note
The term was used (for at least the second intent in as many years) by President Trump.

Important context to point out the user of the term regardless of intent.

A criminal inquiry is underway after a 19-year-old Louisiana State University student posted on social media last month claiming she was raped by an LSU football player. Earlier this year, a Title IX investigation found the football player responsible for forcible rape, but he remains on campus playing for the LSU football team.
In an exclusive interview, CBS News’ @Jerickaduncan spoke to the woman who's questioning the university's handling of the case.

These dudes are still doing the Islamophobia thing and aiming it at Obama after all these years? What bigoted dedication.
Is Obama Actually a Muslim?
Adam: "Do you actually think that Obama is literally a Muslim?"
Vinnie: "Absolutely 100% I do. How many people named Hussein are Christian?"
Adam: "So you just think he just faked going to church for 20 years?"
Vinnie: "Absolutely, I don't believe Obama, period. End of story. I don't believe anything about this guy. I think he's one of the worst presidents ever."

A great nation would never justify a shooting and killing like this.
The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi attorney general’s office announced mississippifreepress.org/pol…

Probably should have kept this to yourself, or at least until after we know who won the title. 😂
Espn has a bunch of delusional lunatics who have no idea what a good player and a bad player is. To hire dummies like that shows they're not about sports but pushing agendas that fit their woke and racist narratives they've been spinning since 2024

Angel Reese just had one of the most dominant performances in WNBA history, and y’all come up with this? 😂
I’m no Aaron Rodgers fan. But I know dude can ball. See, it’s not hard to accept what your eyes see when you aren’t blinded by stupid hate.
Terrible look from Angel Reese, who started stomping her feet and quit on a play in the WNBA Finals because her teammates wouldn't pass her the ball.
She literally just walked away mid-possession rather than get in position for an offensive rebound.

Angel Reese was incredible tonight. The third player ever to have 30 and 15 in a Finals. Gray was solid and steady. So was Canada. Team defense was outstanding. I did not expect either team to be blown out in any game. Huge surprise. The ATL is gonna be lit Wednesday night. #WNBA

Howard has had a much better second half. But Gabby Williams is still dangerous. #WNBA
I was not expecting either of these teams to have a 19-point lead at any point during this series. The defenses are that good. I’m genuinely surprised. Reese kept the Dream close, now the entire team seems in a groove even against this great Golden State defense. #WNBA
