I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

They’re having a hard time coping because the killer was white and Christian, but statistically that’s the profile for political violence. And that profile gets the benefit of the doubt. If he were Black, she’d be foaming at the mouth. “What happened to him?” -Megyn Kelly Nick Fuentes happened!

Charlie Kirk was not an activist, a media personality, or a political figure. He was a provocateur. Period. An asshole. He profited from provoking people. He made money from saying fucked up shit. He profited from making terrible people feel powerful. Never let them say otherwise.

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.” If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

From Justin Wolfers: "Even after DOGE, the tariffs, and all the performative stuff, the reality is that they're blowing out the budget deficit, and this year is on track to be the largest in the post-pandemic period." My take: DOGE cut IRS staffing. DOGE is part of the problem. #EconSky

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
Degory made hats (@degorius.bsky.social) reposted
The media coverage treating Kirk like some kind of Hamilton is concerning. Did you ever watch Kirk “debate?” That’s not what it was—it was thinly veiled hate speech and harassment. Kirk didn’t deserve to die over being who he was—he also doesn’t deserve valorization as some perfect citizen.

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously. Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

Three kids dead in a school shooting. A political leader and her husband assassinated. No flags lowered. No national grief. But one right-wing commentator dies, and suddenly we remember how to mourn. America doesn’t honor lives lost, it markets them.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
