Episode Summary:
In our first ever dispatch, we confront the assassination of Charlie Kirk — a fascist voice who spent his platform demonizing queer and trans people — and we refuse to mourn his empire. We then turn to Gaza, where ongoing Israeli strikes have left 50,000 Palestinians without shelter. These are not just headlines — they are lives, ancestors, futures.

We share our witchy verdicts, honor the grief of the marginalized, and set the altar for resistance.
