All these people falling over themselves to praise Charlie Kirk worry me way more than whoever killed him. It's not a great sign when we can't condemn a man like Kirk.

If we want political violence to end, we *must* be able to condemn people like Charlie Kirk long before it comes to violence.

“Really makes you wonder,” she says.

“D’ya think there are space aliens who have protruding sex organs with hinged joints? Like just a bunch’a dicks with knuckles or knees?” I ask.

She turns to me. “Wh—“

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.
Tech people must resolve to treat Palantir employees in their spaces - conferences, meetups, hackathons, etc - identically to how they would treat the masked gun-brandishing irregular-uniformed gestapo out there right now arresting every latina mother and child they feel like.
Palantir are the computer job counterparts of those thugs and one wouldn't exist without the other, and they should experience 100% identical social consequences.
