I plan to celebrate George Floyd’s birthday instead since it’s on the same day.

But I thought it was in remembrance of what would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday on October 14th. I think they messed up and should fix it.
"George Floyd was an African-American man born on October 14, 1973" Yes
and in remembrance his birthday will be celebrated on October 14th, right?
"But we're not the same guys. Our billionaires are not like their billionaires. They will save us."
Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.
Practice at the range day!
Nice, now we have an American Bonfire Night. Luckily Kirk had equally recognizable facial features so the effigy's will be on point. Remember to add a lil fire cracker in the neck for both a realistic finish, and a throwback to the OG Gunpowder Plot 😀
I think I just discovered a way to make more holidays
Ahh, yes. Racist Nazi's deserve remembrance days in Trump's America.
Funny there are no days to remember the hundreds of CHILDREN killed by Republicans.
wow I didn't expect them to make it a whole celebration but ok if you ask for it

Sherrill
The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey if anyone was wondering.
Here's the contact email for her campaign: info@mikiesherrill.com
A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.
October 14 as "release the Epstein Files day" seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.
Libs <---> Fascism. As always.
Does everybody wear diapers on CK day or what?

How are y’all gonna celebrate Charlie Kirk Day? LOL
Here’s some suggestions:
-T-shirts and signs with his most despicable quotes -Maybe one that has him depicted like a Saint on a stained glass window, showing how he went out, as is tradition.
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
I laugh my ass off at people who get offended when you literally quote him word for word and in full context. There is nothing like that with MLK or anyone.
He was a paid propagondist who preached hatered, bigotry and advocated for genocide, and his legacy speaks for itself.
Excuse me? Is this theonion? nottheonion?
Oh, just plain normal USA news. OK...
Sometime it feels like we’re living in the onion.
If I get off work, cool. But fuck this piece of shit and the pedos that worship him.
Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.
edit for clarity

Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!
We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???
Third-partiers, clock is running out!
Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won't betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.
Honestly im not sure we need a 50 state org for a third party rep or senator to succeed. President, yeah i see it.
Hard agree with the primaries though. Thats when we get to fight for values and not just against assholes (thanks first past the post).

The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn't seemed to enjoy it very much.
Charlie Kirk is the first person in my entire life (am over 50) who has openly stated he judges people by the color of their skin and wasn't condemned for it. I certainly never expected to see America regress that far back into the past.

Oh they want me to remember Charlie Kirk? Oh... okay, I got you, fam. I'm going to dedicate my one annual Facebook post to remembering classic Charlie quotes.
I'm going to need to collect some real bangers. I want to share the entirety of the man I know him to be.

That's cool, we'll rename it to Fascist Fountain day later on.
This means paid time off for US workers…. Right… right?
Lol, no.
I'm actually down for this. Dead Nazi Day!!
Who wants to play a round of shoot-the-neck-off-the-piñazi?!
I'll bring drinks.

I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?
Because they care much more about not upsetting the Republicans even a little than they do about actually serving their people. The only thing on their mind during this vote was about how many angry republicans in their area they'd have if they didn't go along with it. They don't want to go the way of Melissa Hortman.
I understand that this is a tumultuous time, and that being a major figurehead and pushing against the descent into fascism may put you on some crazed gunman's hit list, but that's what's needed and expected of a good leader in times like these. If you can't handle it, leave and make way for someone more willing to take the risk.
Democrats at large are small r republicans.

Old Jesus was too woke and empathetic. Remember new Jesus, and not the Epstein files He demanded be released.
Why not have someone compose a song about him, which you could make the new theme song for the maga movement?

When I pooh that day, I will name it Charlie Kirk. Then I'll flush that stinking turd away with pleasure.
