Jimmy Kimmel: An American Tragedy

In the aftermath of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, the American media quickly identified a story it felt truly worthy of moral outrage.

In debates over social justice, one important distinction is often overlooked: the difference between state action and private choice.
