Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter: 1. Grew up in a Republican family 2. Donated to Donald Trump 3. Loved guns 4. Was steeped in Groyper culture This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

Of course, the arrested alleged killer of Charlie Kirk comes from a Republican, gun toting, law-enforcement family and he’s a young white guy who appears neither gay nor trans. So sick of the Republican B. S. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

If this guy from a gun loving Republican family concluded at some point, according to one alleged piece of evidence that Kirk was “filled with hate,” he came to that conclusion AS AN INDIVIDUAL, and people who support the Democratic Party have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, you scumbags.

A young white Christian male who was raised by Republicans and taught to use guns from a young age shot Charlie Kirk. Not long after, a young white Christian male radicalized online by white male Christians like Charlie Kirk shot up his high school in the state next door. #ThisIsAmerica

charlie kirk was a loser, a grifter, a racist, a bully, a misogynist, a gun-violence apologist, and a blot on the political landscape—to imagine him lying in state really sums up the disgrace & shame of this nation

For everyone who now needs a quick education on the extreme far right wing Groyper movement that has been out to get Charlie Kirk for not being far right enough for years, here you go. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

“Every single Epstein file should be released to the public. No redactions.” – Charlie Kirk

Nearly 48 hours of relentless anti-trans propaganda and news reports over the murder of Charlie Kirk, and all of that for not a single shred of evidence that trans people or trans rights had anything to do with it.

so charlie kirk was assassinated by exactly the kind of terminally-online channer shithead he tried to foment

Online right-wing rhetoric began shifting last night from saying the left-wing must be destroyed because someone on the left supposedly killed Charlie Kirk to saying the left-wing must be destroyed because there were people on the left who celebrated his death. In case anyone was wondering.

That's the thing about far-right extremists. They often find their biggest enemies within their own ranks.

Is it safe to say that Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, is not transgender?

Vaccines work. Period.

Incase you thought Charlie Kirk’s influence was contained within our own borders… This is nuts. Thankfully, the EU Parliament had the good sense to reject this inappropriate nonsense.

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

It is wildly unusual for lower-court judges to so publicly express frustration with the Supreme Court’s *behavior* (versus, say, a confusing ruling in a specific case). But the number of *different* examples is completely unprecedented—and pretty powerful evidence that something is seriously wrong.

Guys, I know you all still cling to conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland bc ... well, you watch too many TV lawyers who knew fuckall about the investigation. But this is a fact. A trial was scheduled to happen 3 years after Jan6, just like Bolsonaro got. Who killed it? John Roberts.

I stand with Matthew Dowd.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

It’s important to understand that MAGA fascists consider the white supremacist Kirk worthy of the Medal of Freedom alongside Mister Rogers, Jesse Owens, MLK, Jonas Salk, Neil Armstrong, Jackie Robinson, Ella Fitzgerald, Muhammad Ali, and Aretha Franklin. His pathetic self is as good as they have.

Flags at half-mast for Charlie Kirk are inappropriate. That's exactly why Trump did it. It will boost his fundraising significantly. Melissa Hortman was disrespected and dishonored by this incredibly flawed president. #FuckTrump

Yeah, just because someone shouldn't be murdered in cold blood, which nobody should, doesn't make them not a despicable hateful troll whose rhetoric endangered lives on the daily. I really need the careful framing/rehabilitation (and sometimes canonizing) of Charlie Kirk to stop. Now.

Very interesting… Agree this looks highly professional… Inside job? The MAGA cult taking out their own? It’s definitely a great distraction from the #Epstein files!

Before he died, Charlie Kirk said the Epstein files should be released, which made a lot of MAGA and Trump’s circle angry. "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein...Every file should be released to the public."

Awesome 😎

That’s unreal! Matt Dowd is spot on. MSNBC is bending the knee really hard to play nice with the #TrumpRegime. Further enabling the #fascism

Exactly- absolutely zero reason to honor a hateful Nazi-Fascist, who wasn’t an elected official. Not surprised by the double standards of this #TrumpRegime

Kirk was a racist who thought black people shouldn’t be pilots. He thought women should be subservient to men. He hated MLK and the Civil Rights Act. He didn’t care about political violence against Paul Pelosi and Democrats. All his own words. You can deplore the shooting without honoring the man.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

CNN calls Charlie Kirk, a known white nationalist and racist who proudly spead genocidal nazi rhetoric (for which he would have been arrested in Germany) a "conservative activist". They didn't even bother to label him vaguely as "extreme right wing", just "conservative activist".

Yes to this 👇 And we will see more violence under the facist #TrumpRegime from all sides. Unfortunately.

Perfectly summed up 👇👇👇

Totally a coverup. So blatantly obvious.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz summarizes the Trump’s administration’s coverup of the Epstein files so far …

The WH threatening any Republican that signs the Epstein discharge petition. It’s 100 percent clear Trump is covering up criminal child sex trafficking

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

A funny thing about the president of the United States is that before today, he had never heard of the city of Huntsville Alabama, which has been known as Rocket City since at least the '50s because of the huge role it's played in US space and rocket design.

Trump just authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges - effectively doubling the bench overnight. Courts are supposed to be independent, not staffed by the Pentagon. This is how you turn immigration into a battlefield instead of due process.

Trump is such a malicious bastard. He fired immigration judges, leaving immigrants stuck in limbo, at constant risk of being kidnapped by ICE thugs. Now the Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers who have no experience with immigration law to serve as judges. This can't end well.

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

Whoa! Thousands rally in Maine against Trump and Susan Collins — and in support of Graham Platner, who is running to replace Collins in the U.S. Senate. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Governor Gavin Newsom our favorite Governor has some hand questions!!
