Dems haven’t been safe for years. Where was the national outrage at the death threats to Gabby Giffords, AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, Nancy Pelosi, Melissa Hortman. Student protesters haven’t been safe for years. Where was the outrage at deportations, expulsions, denials of diplomas?
Re today's fatal shooting: 'Under the changes in HB 128, which went into effect on May 7, individuals who are 18 years old or older and have a current Utah concealed weapon permit (CWP) may carry a weapon on campus, including in an “open” fashion.'
Kamala Harris was correct about everything she warned us about.
TIP FOR CONSERVATIVES: If you are bereft over the gun shooting of Charlie Kirk, just pretend he was a kid in an elementary school, and you will forget about the whole thing within a minute.
Charlie, no one is “celebrating or justifying” murder. We are simply matching the energy of the right when our children are slaughtered in schools because of their policies.
The red line is when Republicans gleefully allowed President Clinton’s assault weapons ban to expire
You know what would be good FBI experience for identifying violent criminals in a large crowd? The agents who investigated January 6. Who have been/are being fired.
This country has a gun problem.
For all the haters including the president who are telling us that liberals own political violence. You’re so wrong. It’s 76% right-wing and 10-25% left-wing.
Thank you, Senator Warren.
In the interest of transparency, Kash is really bad at his job.
President Stubb arrived in Kyiv this morning. Thank you, Finland, for your incredible support for Ukraine! 🇫🇮🇺🇦 📹: Andrii Yermak
So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.
Now, THIS is what we lower the flag for. THIS!
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.”
He said nothing wrong. Nothing. MSNBC, are you running scared now too?
@matthewjdowd.bsky.social said nothing wrong. Go read his quote. On point. Pathetic move by MSNBC leadership.
Justin Webb just referred on Today to "platforms like Bluesky, where you can see the celebration of the killing" of Charlie Kirk. What I'm seeing on here is overwhelming condemnation; despair at the violence of US politics; alarm at where this might go; & calls for equal horror at other shootings.
MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence
Friend in Poland says the situation is quite scary and they don’t scare easily The political instability plus the US situation and now this escalation make life very uncertain
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.
The more white wing media at the Times and the Post try to gaslight people about what Kirk stood for, the more social media accounts, and new media journalists will continue posting receipts.
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.
BREAKING: Federal judge in Los Angeles issues preliminary injunction against Department of Homeland Security to restrict use of force against press, legal observers and protesters. Judge in LA Press Club v. Noem calls out "surprising savagery" of DHS officers: "The First Amendment demands better."
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?
russia struck Poland, now it denies, deflects, deceives. What else did you expect from a terrorist state? We can’t unring this bell 🔔 russia chooses war every day, if Europe chooses inaction, as it has for decades, the bigger war will engulf all of Europe, not just Ukraine 🇺🇦
There's no excuse for it. None.
"That’s why it’s so hard to sell the lie that Trump doesn’t collude with Putin: He just goes out and does it again." www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...
Donald Trump in his speech. “We need to stop demonizing those with whom you disagree.” Also in his speech. He talks of the radical left. This man is so stupid he never doesn’t even understand that he disagrees with himself.
Well, not always . . .
Doctors groups going (clearly) out of their comfort zone to cut Tik Toks asking Trump to can RFK Jr www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6TES59u/
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.
Turns out, murderous dictators don’t trust murderous dictators. Go figure. 🤷🏽♂️
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.
At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.
Maybe gutting the FBI and replacing its leadership with influencers wasn't the greatest idea.
The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
A "communist," in the typical American usage, is someone who...does the kinds of things Trump is doing www.thebulwark.com/p/no-zohran-...
Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.
For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.
I hope these kids make a full recovery. This shit is way outta control 😔 also 😡 www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...
HAPPENING NOW: The Trump administration withdraws its claim that parents of the Guatemalan children it tried to send back last month had requested their return. DOJ says it has no basis for that claim now in light of contradictory info provided by the Guatemalan government.
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.
He's too stupid to even know the lingo. He reflects badly on the entire FBI.
Charlie Kirk was a horrible bigot who spewed dangerous conspiracy theories and misled many young people. He marched for Trump’s authoritarian agenda. None of this justifies violence or murder. Political violence only escalates and makes us less safe. Sadly, we dont have a leader but an arsonist.

NEW — Internal documents from the National Guard shared with the Washington Post show that Trump's federal takeover of D.C. is "leveraging fear" among D.C. residents, driving a "wedge between citizens and the military," and causing "shame and alarm" among the troops.
Lets not forget donald said Espetein was a "terrific guy" and drew him a picture of a pre-pubescent girl with coded pedo language.
Flags are already half mast tomorrow.
Authorities release ‘suspect in custody’ — proving he was mostly just in custody, not much of a suspect.
Fuck the Heritage Foundation. They're part if this hate-baitibg media hellscape we're living in.
Charlie Kirk called for his audience to post bail for Pelosi attacker: "If some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out..Bail him out and then go ask him some questions"
And we want AI to run the world??
“Three students were critically wounded on Wednesday in a shooting at Evergreen High School in the Colorado foothills. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says one of those students is the shooting suspect.” www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...
There was another shooting today. "He had kids" These WERE kids. Fucking protect them. #ItsTheFuckingGuns
Your invitation to hate the Yankees This is wild and obscene. How about the victims of mass shootings, such as the kids in Colorado today or Melissa Hortman. "Both sides" nonsense. All power in America caves to the right wing.
Here's what I think is happening in Poland. Thank you all for being patient. Gifted. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Charlie Kirk wasn't from New York. He didn't live in New York. The shooting didn't happen in New York. In July he Tweeted "Was just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong." Why did the New York Yankees have a moment of silence for him?
The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.
"Sorry, all my competent investigators were busy dragging Hispanic grandmothers out of their cars."
Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...
I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe
It's clear to the rest of us, the majority, that our lives don't matter to Trump or institutions of power in this country. Just look at how everyone, including the Yankees and former Presidents, come out to condemn Kirk's murder and offer sympathies as this country unleashes ICE on brown people.
We can all agree that political violence is wrong, but let’s not pretend that Charlie was simply exercising his First Amendment right. He was stoking hatred and violence towards specific communities. It was meant to incite violence, which is not a protected right.
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.
It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.
So twice they've now claimed they caught the shooter only to backtrack and say they had the wrong person? Twice? Really inspiring confidence.
It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.
No one knows what the fuck he's saying, as usual.
📌If today’s terrible news of the high school shooting in Colorado has you down, why not take a minute to remember the most thorough ass-kicking on a debate stage ever. It happened one year ago tonight …
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.
Since January 20, Russian air raids in Ukraine have intensified dramatically
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
I don't feel any particular joy in Charlie Kirk getting shot. It's not the sort of thing I celebrate. But I also struggle to care when someone gets the very thing they've wished for openly, on multiple occasions, in multiple iterations, for literal years, b/c they thought it would be someone else.
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." – Charlie Kirk
grok, how do i conduct a manhunt
Fucking finally. Fight back against the bullshit framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is *choosing* to create this kind of societal environment. They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not fucking children (except when, well, you know)
Here’s the thing. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I lower my American flag for someone who sent bus loads of insurrectionists to the Capitol.
No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...
A point I made about Mike Lee's more grievous response on Xitter today. This is not a time to both-sides things but it is, IMO, a time to call out when people like Erick Erickson fails to mention Paul Pelosi's attack, which Kirk celebrated.
FFS, continue Charlie Kirk's work? Like promoting the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory? Or libeling LGBTQ people? Or promoting fascism? Yeah, hard pass, Gavin.
They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
Would that the massacre of our children at our schools got the same attention, emotions, and flag lowerings that his death has. Disgraceful.
It's both.
No.
They are not up to the task of protecting our allies, and Russia knows it.
It wasn't much to begin with.
Contrast the immediacy with which Donald Trump responded to the Charlie Kirk shooting with the lack of response to the CDC shooting last month.
Let it sink in that no member of the Trump administration is concerned that children will be dumped in another country without parental request or permission. These children will lose any protections they have because racist reasons. Make no mistake these are crimes against humanity.
COMING UP: The fate of hundreds of unaccompanied minor children hangs in the balance as a federal judge, Tim Kelly, weighs whether to block their summary removal from the United States. At 2 p.m. ET, Kelly will hear argument on the children’s motion to enjoin their deportation. Follow along ⬇️ 🧵

These people are beyond depraved.
