R.I.P. Charlie Kirk
I didn't know Charlie personally. But he did send me a kind message last year. "I love all people" is what he said. If that is any indication of who the man was, then this country has lost someone special today.
Partisan politics did not stand in the way of him paying me a compliment, and it should not stand in the way of mourning him either.
We cannot become a society where expressing political views, even controversial ones, leads to violence. Whatever you think of his politics, Charlie was a decent man, a patriot, and a brave defender of his values. My heart goes out to his wife and his kids.

Think you can trust your own eyes and ears?
👁️👂
Think again.
Research shows that your political leanings or ideological tribe can literally shape what you perceive, not just how you interpret it.
Our brains don’t just filter information-they can rewrite what we notice, remember, and even what we think we “saw” in the first place.
So two people with different beliefs can watch the same footage and honestly report seeing two different realities.
This is called “cognitive illiberalism,” and it's the hidden force steering our judgments even when we think we’re being fair.
Here's what we know about cognitive illiberalism and how we can counteract it.

Do not allow yourself to become bitter, no matter how difficult life becomes.

Trump “losing” in 2020 was good, interestingly. It allowed him to become unburdened by what had been.
Now he has built a dream team, learned his lessons, dumped the baggage, and had a chance to think about his legacy.
Further exposed the DNC too.
This puts the country in a better position now than it would have been otherwise.
A hidden blessing.

The bigotry of low expectations. It's almost like these people think poc can't process information like their pink peers. It's insulting at best, subtly racist at worst.

If I am going to air on the side of caution it’s going to be in the direction of liberty and anti-fascism, not on the side of authoritarianism and paternalism. I hope and suspect we almost all feel the same.
It requires love, truth, and courage.

More than 80% of the criticism I see if certain people is intentionally taken out of context or a clip that isn’t played until the end or something.
It’s made me more skeptical and cynical about how rare “valid criticism” is.
Valid criticism has to be factual and logical.
