The man corporate America, powerful institutions, establishment hacks, and the entirety of the right-wing have whitewashed and valorized to the level of sainthood.
Time for a defamation suit

Another firing for daring to talk about the anointed one.
Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation
I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…
The vast majority of the political violence in this country the past 20yrs has been committed by right wing extremists. That’s the truth. And another truth is this: No public figure is more divisive than Donald Trump. None.👇
Tyler Robinson, the prime suspect for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, comes from a proud MAGA family, according to his grandmother. www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk...
In case you missed it….Senate Republicans voted down an amendment to make more of the Epstein files public – the next move in their coordinated attempt to cover this story up.
In response to Missouri's GOP-dominated legislature passing a new congressional gerrymander today, @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social says it's collecting signatures to place a veto referendum on the ballot. If they collect ~115K sigs in 90 days, the map is suspended until a vote can be held.
What a truly disgusting week for American journalism.
Anyway, seems like the white community should really do something about all this white-on-white crime.
I'm surprised it took this long before it happened.
andrew is right, but mainstream U.S. media is fundamentally incapable of any introspection that isn't 'we didn't pay enough attention to the right-wing's needs'
No surprise, sadly.
There were 200K people watching Nick Fuentes's show last night. We've been warning about him and his growing influence for years. Trump dined with him. MTG attended his conference. This is a MAGA and Republican problem which is now the world's problem.
Look at US 😞
Trump can’t even pretend to care for 5 seconds.
We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...
“Every political movement in history, including the most bloodthirsty, has condemned political violence by its opponents. The only real test is whether you also oppose political violence by your allies. This is a test Trump has repeatedly failed.”
“Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections” We used to have basic standards when assessing whether people did “politics the right way” in 🇺🇸. Somewhere along the line, we totally lost the plot.
Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump. That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.
Why it mattered when Kamala (and Joe, Hillary, Obama, etc) called for a Palestinian State.
If there's one thing I wish I could get every earnest liberal to understand, it's that, from the point of view of an authoritarian psychology, efforts to persuade, to "reach out" & "find common ground," are *viewed as evidence of weakness*.
Insanity. If Dems did this….
I’m no doctor, but this does not look like a healthy man to me.
Clay Higgins, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, tweeted—then deleted—a post claiming Paul Pelosi’s attacker was a “male nudist hippie prostitute.” Free speech for me, permanent suspension for thee.
Oh look other countries still have the rule of law.
Rogue Supreme Court
the media rush to canonize charlie kirk is legitimately maybe one of the weirdest things of this nature i have ever seen in my life
Good question! Why?
Oh come on, now. Have we now created a class of people and ideas that our nation mandates are above reproach? Is the idea of free speech dead? Are we creating a new class of MAGA saints and a new definition of political sacrilege?
It’s not often that I agree with GOP Rep. Don Bacon, but he’s absolutely right here.
Good thing the president blamed Democrats yesterday!
America.
Ezra, he died while defending his false claim that trans people are more likely to commit mass shootings. He called Leviticus 20:13--a verse saying gay men should be stoned to death--"God's perfect law." I agree political violence is unacceptable, but what you're saying here is just not true.
The Asymmetry of "both sides" media that favors right-wing propaganda. Affirmative Action for conservatives. It's maddening.
Evergreen:
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.
What the hell is transgender ideology? Bigoted word salad at this point
“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.
From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...
They always have, sadly.

Watching the Twin Towers collapse on 9/11, I remember thinking, "It was mostly air." Somehow it had never occurred to me that the inside of a building — even an enormous one — was mostly air. Having the same feeling now as I watch the Constitution collapse: Turns out... it was just air.
If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.
This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
Strange that not a single Republican senator has any questions about these killings. They otherwise seem very anti-violence right now.
Mr. Trump said that liberal criticism of conservatives was “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.” What about actual terrorism? #1 source of domestic terror is right-wing extremist and white supremacist violence. Facts.
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.
Good thing we have a racist madman for a president!
This explains it better than I can
It’s so surreal seeing prominent right-wing figures—an influential presidential advisor, the last campaign’s biggest donor, etc.—call for violence, the GOP president lie and stoke violence, every Dem officeholder condemn it, and mainstream media treat those as the same, or the Dem reaction as worse.
Trump or Kirk? Trick question. It was both.

Trump fails their own standard. Again.
WSJ edit board spins a fantasy: "for Mr. Trump, while this is a moment of personal sadness, it is also an opportunity for leadership...he can help the country rise above this madness. He can say that this is the moment when the descent into political violence must stop.” Meanwhile — no, he can’t:
America Mourns the Loss of the Idea of America. Get it right @nytimes.com
And bigotry.
Media: Why did the President not request flags at half staff following the assassination of House representative Melissa Hortman but has for Charlie Kirk who is not an elected official? The question that won’t be asked of Karoline Leavitt.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words
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.
Abhorrent
It's wild watching Democrats make the cry for gun reforms for years and years and years. Then, when a rightwing figure gets killed, liberals are suddenly called violent gun-toting terrorists.
Man who pardoned violent insurrectionists
Opinion | Charlie Kirk's blood is on the hands of Democrats who failed to convince their Republican colleagues to support gun control.
Democrats consistently condemn political violence. Republicans do not. It's completely lopsided not both sided
maybe it is all the guns
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence. You can do both.
In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot. And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"
Something to keep in mind as the verdict in the Bolsonaro trial approaches.
Every single one.
When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.
Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.
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."
100% true.
The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
Do not be like Jason. Just keep your mouths shut.
Him & Billy Ocean are about to drop the most soulful 80’s r$b album of all time.
The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.
Yep. Normal politics died on November 5, 2024 (if not sooner). I'm deeply skeptical of the idea that voters who pulled the lever for Trump when he was clearly an insanely self-destructive choice will make better decisions next time around. Hope I'm wrong though!
Just a vile thing to say.
