A week that began with shocking revelations about the president and the pedophile was quickly and shockingly overtaken by a brutal murder, followed by the dangerous smearing of Democrats and the left.
Thanks, as always. This past week was more disturbing than most. I was not surprised to learn that the guy who killed Kirk was a right wing extremist. I now know who Nick Fuentes is, and what a "groyper" is, but learning this has only increased my level of angst!
My problem is that while you take a deep dive on Charlie Kirk citing his background and past comments. It would be enlightening if you could a thorough background check on the perpetrator.
Lack of this information leaves it to most outlets claiming this was caused by 'the left'.
They've done some commentary on him already clearly showing how far right the guy is. Unlike Kirk, the information wasn't already compiled so work needs to be done to ensure accuracy.
The media keeps focusing on tragic events. But what is more tragic than the deaths of tens of children in American schools? I've noticed that their deaths don't seem to get the same level of sustained media attention or public outrage as other tragedies. Why is this the case? I believe that the lives of children should be our top priority and deserve more of our collective concern than any other issue.
Wow, a big if not scary week. From Israel going even more rogue, who will they attack nex?, to a murder, possibly politically motivated but I do not know yet, but still some very scary and strong and oddly very one sided, responses from your leaders. To the continuing attack on freedoms and burocracy by the executive. Some change is needed if you want change, but the language used makes it look like there is a darker motivation around it all. Glad to be not an American right now. Be careful and remember, hate and violence brings only more of the same. Courage is needed if you want that cycle changed. Accurate information, from reliable sources, and a shared humanity is what is needed to bring about a better situation. Good luck.
Someone can be horrible and still be brutally slaughtered. This is fueled by multiple high res videos of blood spurting out of his wound while he stiffens up and falls back.
I don't know of that video, as I don't live in the US. Yes, brutal it was. But only as brutal as his kind wants to be with others. And less brutal than what happened in AFG, Somalia, Haiti, happens in Palestine...
Yes, Thursday 9/11/25 was indeed a bad news day for women:
-- in the U.S. (from the Common Dreams article “US Court Lets GOP Defunding of Planned Parenthood Take Effect”): “Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) took to social media to warn that up to 200 Planned Parenthood clinics could close thanks to the loss of Medicaid funding, which she said would have devastating consequences for women’s healthcare. ‘How many people will be denied cancer screenings, birth control, and STI testing?’ she asked. ‘Millions. It’s horrific.’”
-- and around the world (from the New York Times article “$10 Million in Contraceptives Have Been Destroyed on Orders From Trump Officials”): “Millions of dollars’ worth of birth control pills and other contraceptives destined for people in low-income countries have been destroyed at the direction of the Trump administration… a spokeswoman for USAID… said in a statement to The Times that the contraceptives had been destroyed, and falsely suggested that they induced abortion. ‘President Trump is committed to protecting the lives of unborn children all around the world,’ the statement said. ‘The administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid.’”
It’s so depressing where the world is headed, it’s all happening so quickly. Those of us fighting are fighting an uphill battle. I’m scared for my children and what the future holds. The racism that is at the root of most of these garbage people, and the greed. It’s hard to change the mindset of toxic individuals who look out for themselves and no one else. God help us all.
I really appreciate these weekly digests, thank you. I keep up with the news (too much, really), and even I find I have missed some important stories. I've shared these with friends who don't pay as much attention on a daily basis, and they appreciate it, too!

I don't even know what to say anymore except we're fucked. I am reminded of an old Beatle's song; I think the time for a revolution has come.

So Charlie Kirk's is 'a shocking and brutal murder'..? What about all the murdered in Afghanistan and Middle East and even the US?
People like Kirk propagate weapons and then are astonished if someone uses said weapons against them...
The US is a very sick country.
