The solution to gun violence apparently is *checks notes* to live each day like you might have to shoot your friends, coworkers, and neighbors.

Having a “Right Wing Death Squads” patch does not necessarily mean one is a ‘white supremacist.’ It usually means one is a fan of the fascist ‘death squads’ of Pinochet.

Going to say it again: There are tons of great environment, science, campaign, and civil rights reporters covering these things.
There are also people who cover the White House and they covered Kanye because he was at the White House.
It’s called a division of labor.
How any serious journalist or news outlet could cover this Kanye West nonsense instead of climate change, voter suppression in Georgia or any number of issues that actually matter and not this fucking bullshit pr stunt by a narcissistic pop star I’ll never know. Shameful.
