The government is using its power to regulate the electromagnetic spectrum as a way of getting political speech it doesn't like off the air. The President himself suggested NBC cancel their shows as well.
It's a blatant violation of the first amendment, using the government to censor speech. And it looks like not a thing will be done about it.
The distinction is vital. The FCC's stewardship of the public airwaves as a limited natural resource is the only reason we granted them this extraconstitutional power in the first place. When the airwaves aren't actually involved, the FCC should have no say whatsoever.
I've heard this before, but where did this originate? Did Jimmy just make it up or was he quoting some source? I heard the same thing but from people I interact with that this guy was crazy right wing nazi and killed Kirk because Kirk wasn't hard-line enough. But then the bullets said "Catch, fascist" so that was just super confusing. Are fascists calling each other fascists as a meme, or was the killer signing his name like "catch, <signed by> fascist".
Furries are people, and any group of people is going to have a lot of different views and beliefs represented amongst its members.
This is really not true. The current MAGA movement is rife with doublethink and it appeals strongly to people who feel outcast by society.
Again: furries are people, and any group of people isn't going to be homogenous.
That's the part I am curious about. Some clues like the killer's parents I can see, but the bullet markings and riding on Trump's back doesn't point in that direction at all.
I think it would be interesting to study the origin of the narrative. In the most innocent interpretation it's a broken telephone starting with "wouldn't be nice if it was ...", to "I bet it was ...", to then "it was ..." and by the time it gets to Jimmy it's (sources familiar with the matter tell us) that "we definitely know...". But, I wonder if it was a bit more organized, as in people worked together to spread the story more effectively. However, that also means they didn't even think it through one step ahead when the police catch the guy, so that seems iffy.
