NEW: Reuters asked the Michigan Tax Authority whether Lisa Cook violated any mortgage tax rules for her home in Ann Arbor. They said no. That's in addition to Reuters earlier reporting that nothing was wrong with the documents for her home in Atlanta. www.reuters.com/world/us/no-...
"I never stood with Bibi."
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
👇👇
Yep. Then you have politicians violating the 1st amendment.
Get the hell off Twitter already. Edolf doxxing school teachers (or anyone else saying mean things about a white nationalist) should be your final straw.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
Kudos to Stephen Colbert on his Emmy win last night. It was a pleasure chatting with him a few weeks ago on The Late Show about how rampant inequality has brought us to this moment in American history — and what we can do to fix our politics.
Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired
This is so fascinating!!! youtube.com/watch?v=Zn0_...
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell
She has posted what I found to be an informative thread on exactly this and now I’m thinking we should have a starter pack of all the journalists fired from main stream media for daring to speak the truth.
Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.
It is here. McCarthyism 2.0. Wrongthink now gets you on a list that is openly trying to liaison with the government (which has already said it will be doing similar work in the weeks to come). The list referenced below now exceeds 100,000 people. People on the list are already getting death threats.
And this by right-wing Maga Rep Van Orden. Just curious has anyone ever seen a Representative behave so reprehensibly? I mean they're elected to help constituents not to doxx and threaten an entire city and the livelihood of constituents over speech they don't like.
I’m sorry, but Brian Kilmeade can still go fuck himself.
I’m sorry, but I spent 15 years with DC police as a reserve. This national guardsman thinks he’s going to call DC Police and have the individual arrested for playing a soundtrack song from Star Wars while walking down the street? Get the fuck out of here. These guys need some more education.

First time I've ever heard Trump tell the truth. 🤣
😬
"But Kirk was not just putting on a show. He was a dedicated proponent of a specific political program. He was a champion for an authoritarian politics that backed the repression of opponents and made light of violence against them." @jamellebouie.net, with a litany of quotes to back it up.
COLD HARD FACTS: 74% of political violence is perpetrated by far-right extremists. ONLY 4% is from left-wing extremism.
We "Great Again" yet?
Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.
Robert Reich, who worked for Ford & Carter, served as labor Sec for Clinton, and was on Obama's economic transition advisory board — cites progressives like @zohrankmamdani @grahamformaine.bsky.social & @abdulelsayed.bsky.social as the “future” for Dems. Full post: www.facebook.com/share/p/15zD...
Charlie Kirk was the 18,533rd American shot and killed in 2025. Why is he the only one people are talking about? What about the 18,532 before him? What about the roughly 400 hundred who were shot and killed since then? Does anyone know any of their names?
I hope she sues Pulte for defamation. He abused his position to spread lies about her to help a crooked President destroy the independence of the Fed.
Oh you don’t say
So is he talking about these Republicans? Because they seem to be doing everything he's talking about. 🤔
I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.
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.
This is certainly a different take I can get behind
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.
And now you have Republicans in the House threatening cities if they don't fire people they disagree with.
This is truly the best way to expose each and every single one of these Republicans ini at a time
“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...
NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor "We’ve had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family."
Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.
They have compiled a list of names (just 1 page) of ppl not liking Kirk and added names, addresses, employment to a database website- just FYI
For those who dont follow right wing media, they have January 6th'd the Charlie Kirk murder. They all believe it was transgender or radical leftist etc and refuse to talk about Groypers. It's a cult. Lost. Concentrate on informing and organizing the majority.
“ExxonMobil made 51 heatwaves at least 10,000 times more likely than in an unheated world” ExxonMobil knew they were cooking our world 50 years ago, & then CHOSE to spend decades funding doubt & denial. People made this choice. People who will be responsible for billions of people.
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews
A great deal of our problems result from not holding those who tried to destroy our democracy accountable for their actions.
America and Europe are on the path of destroying themselves due to white supremacy. Instead of sharing with the rest of us, they'll choose to burn it all down. I dont think people are prepared or aware of what's happening right now. Thankfully, we still have the numbers but we must organize.
In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
oh my
Whatever Kirk’s killer may be, don’t let the right or anyone else medicalize his behavior. It’s not mental illness. It’s programming. He was fed a diet of Christian Nationalism, extremist politics, gun idolatry, and violence fantasy. As such, this monster behaved EXACTLY AS DESIGNED.
If he were a second-grader, they would have already forgotten him.
They're doing it because as a cop there are legal repercussions when you break the law and you have to wear a body cam.
That's a description of every Republican holding office right now.
More local cops than ever before are signing up to work with ICE
Now where have I heard this before? Oh yeah...
Trump and his administration are going to push this 'us against them' crap because he thinks it will help him in the midterms. It's all about himself and him clinging to power. He doesn't actually care about political violence.
As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times
This you? Just two hours later?
I guess this is what happens when you ban books... the right never learned what it means to be a hypocrite.
Why couldn’t this be us? 😭

Wow, indeed!!!
They know but they don't want to rain on the right's crusade to blame the left for inciting violence.
MAGA will not tolerate political violence in any form.
We’re about to find out whether the corporate media knows that groypers are right-wing.
Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.
New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.
Is that a three percenter shirt his dad is wearing? Thinking they were a bit more than just your average "registered republican". Looks like he wanted to be just like dad with his sunglasses on his hat and all.
My mom asked me about Charlie Kirk tonight so I showed her some of his greatest hits online (I was fixing her Kobo account) and within a couple minutes she was like "Well why are people saying such nice things about him?"
There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.
Without double standards Republicans would have no standards 🙄
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
“We got him!” Really? That’s the line? His father turned him in. You received him.
Hmm... what a coincidence another guy also recently took credit for something he had absolutely nothing to do with 🤔
"I was hoping it was an immigrant" - Utah governor. Motherfucker, we are all immigrants in this land. The only people that aren't are the First Nations folks. Also very telling to make that comment, as it reveals you just automatically associate crime with any and all immigrants. What a shitty
Don Jr lies: "When the left realizes that they're losing arguments, they resort to this violence. I see the constant 'the violence goes both ways.' And it does not. The violence is going one way." (Note the complete lack of pushback from Martha MacCallum.)
So pathological lying is a genetically inherited trait...
