Returning the care and grace he had for the victims in other shootings
Working hard at making good trouble. I used to be terrified of what would happen in 2025 but now I’m horrified.

Returning the care and grace he had for the victims in other shootings
"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, 2023
One teen is dead after a student fired on schoolmates at Evergreen High School in Colorado, injuring two before shooting himself
He completely ignored the assassination of a democratic lawmaker, her husband, and their dog, and the attempted assassination of another lawmaker and his wife, so f*ck this…
I don’t know who did this, but I love it ☠️
"America Mourns Journalism"
George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”
This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.
Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?
Look at the response from Democratic political officials on the Left when someone on the Right is shot vs the response from Republican political officials when someone on the Left is shot. Tells you everything you need to know about them.
I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.
Dear Republicans, Remember, you could have saved your colleague with some sort of gun reforms or regulations many times over the years. This death is on your hands. Sincerely, America

if right-wingers made half this amount of fuss when a toddler gets shot in the neck, we might actually get somewhere
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...
Yes. Yes, they are.
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.
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.
In 1998, I lost a cousin to a GSW to the neck. He was 7. Charlie Kirk was no martyr. He lived 24 more years than my cousin and nobody gave a shit about his gruesome death. People die from gun violence every day in the US. Now, Kirk is one of them. Motivation doesn't matter. It's the guns.
😡 even if we're just looking at the modern era, the largest *domestic* terror attack in the last 50 years was Oklahoma City!
It's occurred to me that not everyone is familiar with who Charlie Kirk is/was. Please allow me to help educate those people...
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
Reminder that no one called for flags to be flown at half mast after the assassinations of Melissa and Mark Hortman, their dog & two other political targets by a right wing nutjob. Also that today's victim felt your loved ones were expendable to preserve his 2nd Amendment rights Image
Oof.
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.
Apropos of, oh, nothing: "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. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." -Charlie Kirk, 2023
"Jeffrey Epstein memorial plaque appears at Trump's Aberdeen golf course" Ben Barry and Jon Hebditch for The Daily Record
Trump orders flags to half mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Gov of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in Minnesota by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump
This explains it better than I can
Charlie Kirk was shot at an event at Utah Valley University today, marking the 46th shooting taking place at a school in the U.S. so far this year. 24 were on college campuses, and 22 were on K-12 school grounds. Gun violence is an EPIDEMIC that will only be cured when we change the gun laws.

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. ... But I think it's worth it ... 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."

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
Exactly. Violence, against anyone, is always wrong.
I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

Sorry I can't - I'm enjoying myself at the US Open as the guest of Rolex.
Wait isn’t this the war Grandpa Don dodged?
Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
There has not been one single Republican administration in my lifetime that's created more jobs than a Democratic administration. Since I've been alive.
Governor Shapiro? Are you listening to?
Priorities.
Trump's economy is gasping for breath. Payrolls rose by only 22,000 in August, way less than the expected gain of 75,000. Unemployment rose to 4.3% Billionaires celebrate, because workers have decreased bargaining power, and it ⬆️ the probability of a Fed rate cut. They get richer, workers suffer.
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
If you turn down the volume, RFK Jr looks like a guy testifying about why the tanning bed industry needs a bailout.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Has J D Vance been busy getting his teeth whitened, touching up his hair color and getting his nose hairs trimmed? That would be telling.
What do you do with them? You can make ink out of the walnut…
I love it when Gavin holds up the mirror
Looks like a video game.
The would definitely be better the the cabinet secretaries we currently have.
Don’t forget impeachment.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

The truth about why Trump gave a get out of prison card to rapist, pedophile, and child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. 😳👇
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
My emoji may have given the wrong vibe. I’m agreeing with you and my head is exploding because Jill and Cornell made a big dent in VP Harrises vote. And Jill was building on her trail of destruction from 2016.
Why isn’t RFK researching the effects of long term heroin use on cognitive function?
I get your point Kai, but “we” ?
What are we even doing?
Almost. 🤯
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
This fucker needs to be removed before more people die from his ignorance.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Rep. Jamie Raskin on Trump's exec order on flag desecration: "One of his first acts in office ... was to grant full and unconditional pardons to violent insurrectionists who themselves used the American flag as a weapon to attack and beat American police officers" on Jan. 6. They included:
Gym Jordan.
It’s spreading.
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
No lies told here.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
Andrew McCabe casts doubt on Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with DOJ: “It‘s so suspicious. When you listen to the tapes, you get the sense that Ghislaine Maxwell went into that room knowing what information she had to deliver…to get some sort of benefit that she is pursuing from the administration.”
What do we want? "THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!" When do we want them? "NOW!!!"

For those who think tariffs will help manufacturing here in the USA, your “Made in USA” fridge isn’t carved out of bald eagle feathers. The parts come from all over the world & tariffs make those parts cost more. So you’re paying extra for the privilege of thinking you’re sticking it to China.
