On the murder of Charlie Kirk: Anyone who is celebrating Kirk’s killing is neither a friend to their country nor human decency. Anyone calling for revenge against entire groups of people not responsible for his death is just as awful. War crimes are war crimes, no matter who commits them. We need to stop condemning them selectively, and start condemning them universally.

Abhor the hatred in yourself that you see in others. (Self pep-talk, there.) Love your neighbor, even if you loathe what they stand for. The best way to keep your country from breaking for good is to stop rationalizing its brokenness.
