Brazil is sending their insurrectionist dirtbag to prison. We made our child rapist insurrectionist president again. And he’s lowered the flags for one of the worst among us and now he will do anything he can to foment civil war to distract from how many children he raped. We can’t go numb.
My final though on this topic...
Charlie Kirk started the Professor Watchlist, which caused friends of mine and their families to be terrorized by right-wing assholes. So, you know, fuck everyone trying to find some nugget of decency in that shitpile.
Oh. Huh.
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.
Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus
Oh, Miss Karma? She a sassy bitch!
Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.
No one knows who the shooter is, yet that hasn’t stopped Trump or his sycophants from blaming the “lunatic left” and threatening more drastic action. Never missing a chance to further stoke the violent climate.
AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.
Can we all agree that Trump needs to release the Epstein files because that's what his good friend Charlie Kirk wanted?
Not to mention you just murdered someone and you're going to leave your fingerprints all over the handrails?!
Oh, you can do that?!
Must be nice to not have oligarchs on your Supreme Court.
Yes, it is wild. And disappointing.
If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.
Dear Religious People, Maybe it’s time to start thinking seriously about living by love and not the sword. — Jesus, 2000 years ago
Political violence has no place in American democracy. Release the Epstein files.
Charlie Kirk’s death can’t distract us from the scandal that Trump wants to go away. Violence has no place in a civilized society, but the violence is ongoing to the Epstein survivors. Young girls were sex trafficked and not believed. They’re still looking for justice. Release the #EpsteinFiles
Look, a Supreme Court out there that works…
Are we just not going to point out that that is NOT Melania?
bsky.app/profile/toma... cover-up is criminal
I prefer Strokey McFuck Face

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad
The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”. -Charlie Kirk
Honor Charlie Kirk’s memory today. It is what he would have wanted based on his own words! All the files should be released in honor of Charlie Kirk’s memory. Better than half mast flags: action he called for in the days before his murder. It is what he would want!
Charlie Kirk’s death is awful and abhorrent but it’s appalling that the President is calling for national mourning for a right wing propagandist and hasn’t said a word about Officer David Rose or the brave employees at the CDC
What utter and complete fabrication. And WTF is transgender ideology? Because I can tell you what "antifascist ideology" is - it's pro-Constitution ideology; it's American and patriotic. It's what we fought two World Wars for.
“Dear Lord, I pray you do not strike me down for the lies I’m about to tell the nation….”
Guns kill more Americans than illness. I believe in the second amendment WITH a ban on assault weapons. Tired of men using influence to get each other out of trouble. It is essential that we indict all the sex criminals involved. Justice for the women who were raped by these powerful men.
More than any violent rhetoric, it's the guns that bring death. All denunciations of "political violence" committed with a gun should denounce *the availability of guns.* Regarding Kirk's death, every condemnation should include his position on gun regulation. That is not callous. It's true.
You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...
Rough day for the country, but shout-out to Kash Patel for keeping us entertained with his fucking moronic antics.
Why are they sooooo worried about bathrooms and have ZERO concern over school shootings?
Finally, some good news! The effect of befriending a child rapist: here’s the first man to lose his job because of the Epstein Birthday Book release! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...
Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. Also, they'll never find the shooter. Also, release the Epstein files.
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
Trump KNOWS he's unpopular and there is zero chance of him legitimately winning the midterms. He will burn it all down to get his way.
Between Trump and Fox News, one thing is crystal meth clear. They want more political violence.
SAVE THE CHILDREN! - Ban abortion SAVE THE CHILDREN! - constant battles over restroom rights SAVE THE CHILDREN! -- gunshots are the leading cause of death for kids. The right? Crickets.
Charlie Kirk belonged to a political party whose members routinely send Christmas card pics of their entire families, adults and children, bearing rifles and handguns – and who widely wear AR-15 lapel pins. Facts.
DING DING DING. Two birds, one stone. Shut Kirk up about releasing the Epstein files & give Trump an excuse to send in the Guard.
Sounds like ICE.
This is how you do it. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
Serious question - are they actually trying to kill us?
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer just fired the U.K.'s ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, over his links to Jeffrey Epstein. "In light of the additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the prime minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him."
I heart whoever noticed this as it is sublime; heart added for illustration and authentic appreciation
Well, then that's even more absurd.
A word to my brethren in the press corps: Please notice that nearly all Democrats condemn violence while very few Republicans condemn violence, and please please please do not make these two unequal facts equal.
Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?
no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace
BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election
The USA is cursed. It’s as if it was built on the site of an Indian burial ground.
The president had a chance to be a leader. To console the nation. To lower the temperature. Nope. He can’t do it.
Once upon a time this would be the moment a President of the United States stepped up and urged everyone to stay calm.
Thank you, Senator Warren.
I don't really know anything about guns, but can only assume if this *wasn't* a sharp shooter, the person would have fired more than one round.
You know, the more and more the right blame this on the left and absurdly questionable "evidence" is released, the more I think this was a set-up.
The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.
Charlie Kirk, in an interview with Megyn Kelly: "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein documents...Every file should be released to the public." - Sept. 2025 Want to honor Charlie Kirk? RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Mike Johnson just said political violence must stop WHERE WAS HE ON JAN 6th!!!!!
The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.
there is nothing more american than news of a political shooting being interrupted by news of a school shooting
And? Add it to the list.
In that case, there's 215 Republicans in Congress who need to answer some questions.
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Name EVERY SINGLE Republican who refused to sign. Call them out. Shame them in public. Do NOT let them get away with covering for child rapists.
To the GOP, lives of children are expendable and a cost of "liberty", but a hate-filled right-wing nut job is a bullet too far.
What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨
Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.
the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously
On September 11th, the orange felon bragged about how his trashy tower was the tallest building in New York City after the collapse of the Twin Towers. Him being in the White House dishonors the nearly 3,000 people who died that day and it dishonors humanity.
Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test. The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.
I think they said it was on the rifle, not the bullet.
BINGO.
*IF* true, this stinks of a set-up.
I would care more about Charlie Kirk’s family’s pain if he had ever given a fuck about mine, which includes a ten year old who has to deal with active shooter drills, a 1st Gen Mexican immigrant mother, and the few progressives in my family who he’s been happy to suggest meet violent ends.
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
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.
The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
That's what I said. Too precise of a shot for some random college kid.
The Utah community college where Charlie Kirk was murdered recently lifted its campus ban on guns. As a community college teacher, I have lost students to suicidal acts with guns. Ban guns on all college campuses!
Following yesterday, the threat level today is intense. While the media is focused on the shooting and threats of violence today, just a reminder that prior news is still important. DON'T FORGET OR MOVE ON FROM EPSTEIN!!!
I’m sorry but this is so pathetic
Just months ago, the Speaker of the MN House was killed. Now, Charlie Kirk. This must end. Political violence is a uniquely dangerous thing. We make ourselves heard with our voices and votes. We cannot settle disagreements with violence in this country.
Hey HB folks, heads up. A local white nationalist with a history of violence, Ryan Sanchez, is holding a vigil for Charlie Kirk on the pier at 7PM. He’s been calling for violence against the left for a long time and has been actively recruiting. Advise you stay away, nothing good will happen.
Don't have time to read our 5K word investigative piece on Jeffrey Epstein's emails? Here are key takeaways www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."
I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.
No, Ezra Klein, Charlie Kirk wasn't “practicing politics the right way.” He promoted racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia. Kirk had every right to express his political views, and his death is an outrage. But no one who believes in peace and love should praise what he was doing to our politics.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
I remind you that Kirk was NOT an elected official or official of any kind. The fact that TACO made a statement about his death, while remaining silent about the assassination of Melissa Hortman speaks volumes. I also know of no protocol whatsoever to lower the United States flag for the
The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.
