• Speak up: Secretary of State but not his soul Marco Rubio is canceling visas for people who say mean things about Charlie Kirk online. The department posted on social media some examples of the speech that it’s seeking to illegally punish, including from a person from Argentina who said Kirk “devoted his entire life to spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric.” A person from Mexico said Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist,” adding “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.” Kirk was a bigoted far-right activist and ardent supporter of President Trump. He was shot and killed during an event at Utah State University last month. Minus two points for punishing speech. -2 [Guardian, X] • Boys will be bigots:
