I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Well don't I feel stupid

boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"That shit must've been laced with Tylenol, because I'm struggling to understand the social cue of giving a single fuck."

A couple weeks ago, these blowdried chucklefucks were "joking" about how they should reclaim the word Nazi and now they're "joking" about blowing up the UN or gassing the foreign leaders inside. But they didn't say anything questionable about Charlie Kirk, so no big deal.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

ABC removed staff e-mails after suspending Jimmy Kimmel:

Keep cancelling your subs. Fuck them.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

This all changes so so rapidly, but as of 6:30 PM on Sunday night, the argument appears to be “every bad quote of Charlie Kirk’s has been taken out of context, and with thoughtful critical analysis you’ll see there’s nothing wrong with them, but if you posted them online, you should lose your job”

We are at the point in the honoring-Charlie-Kirk's-memory cycle when faculty are being fired for posting, without comment, Charlie Kirk's words. At the behest of politicians sworn to uphold the first amendment, and in public institutions covered by first amendment protections.

always prerty funny when rightwingers claim they are censored or the media is leftwing when the average big rightwing media creator is raking in 80 million annually like with TPUSA and the biggest leftwing creator just has a big patreon or twitch subscription amount lol

dark humor fans when the humor gets dark:

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

I guess the main thing I’m learning this week is that lots of elite media people knew charlie kirk personally and didn’t know any minnesota state legislators

wow! almost like the right has an intentional habit of blaminf minority groups for actions, the same groups they coincidently think should be “eradicated”

This is why you don't hire podcast hosts to lead the FBI. Complete amateur hour over there and it could lead to a murderer getting away.

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments. Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.

lmfao god imagine if they never catch the guy bc they fired all the federal agents that weren't loyalist pigs

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Hi, everyone, it's me, one of the 231 members of Congress who just said "violence is not the answer" and then proceeded to vote for an $848 billion military spending bill

I do not understand the mindset that makes liberals express sympathy for someone who would have absolutely celebrated if the roles were reversed, like bro, have some god damned self respect

Yeah man. Maybe this is why we generally try to put qualified people in the position of being FBI Director. So we're not just blasting out "WE GOT HIM" on main before retracting it with "uh...oops. wrong guy" an hour later.

(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad

liberal politicians: we should all pray for charlie kirk's family in this harrowing time. political violence has no place in america. charlie kirk to every single minority he sees, in front of his massive hogfucker audience:

Report: American politicians hurriedly clarify they only condone political violence when they fund it against harmless civilians in foreign countries

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Genuinely the more shocking takeaway is that he was apparently 31 years old, actually thought he was in his 50s

counterpoint: these exact same losers say the exact same thing every time anybody talks back or puts a girl in a video game or whatever so i don't think the liberal urge to performatively flinch at the canned backlash is a useful reflex in 2025

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

folks, I've never lived through years of mass political violence but I do study it for a living: you don't want to live through years of political violence.

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked
