Learning a bit on Wik re Groypers; truly, I'm impatient with it all, all the pissing contests with Fuentes, tho I love too see my enemies fight each each other!. Just heard Erika's speech: Charlie said she was far more ferocious than he. Oh these cultists!
And was Tyler a variant of MAGA?????
@marymissbrown2u.bsky.social What's your current take on Kirk assassination, @marymissbrown? (What do I call you for short?)
Two administrators also lost their posts at Texas A&M, an example of how Republican policies meant to curb liberal ideas are reaching into university classrooms.

I guess we know who trained Grok!
Over the last few weeks. It was Loomer and Fuentes that were attacking Kirk. Fuentes, leader of Groyper, actually had a Groyper War 1 and a Groyper War 2 with Charlie Kirk. Because this world is very, very stupid.
2/2 Despite his confrontational style, Kirk was attacked from the right for being too moderate. During the 2019 "Groyper Wars," Fuentes' supporters disrupted Turning Point USA events, challenging Kirk on immigration and LGBTQ rights while labeling him a "gatekeeper" of establishment conservatism.
1/2 Kirk was shot and killed on September 10 at Utah Valley University. As authorities investigate the motive, online speculation has turned toward extremist factions that once targeted Kirk—specifically, Fuentes' "Groyper Army," which has long accused him of being insufficiently radical.

What do you all know about Groypers & Valhalla?
Elon Musk's Grok AI identifies Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, as a "Groyper" from "the toxic underbelly of the MAGA ecosystem".

2/2 The State Department announced consular officials were being directed to revoke visas or deny them to people who might have commented on Kirk or his death in ways about which they did not approve. What a fitting tribute to a fake First Amendment warrior.
1/2 This president has already explicitly said he will use the attack on Kirk to justify going after his opponents, condemning the “left” in America as terrorists and lunatics and asserting—without presenting evidence—that they were responsible for Kirk’s murder.
Apparently hate is profitable. Looks like I'm going to continue to live check to check...thank god!
Think MSM bosses forbade mention of the 2 youths making hand signals?? Most stuff like that gets picked up right away!
Where will we go from here?
Loomer deleted her post because it might be inflammatory or a bad look…?!!! Or perhaps because it might have inspired or incited a murderer?
Be aware all this is percolating under the surface.

Yes. Dems do make mistakes, but in the end aren't "they" largely us? Or aren't they? Jeffries & Jasmine could be Dem co-chairs?
Remember when a little-known National Security Council staffer falsely gave the go-ahead for DoD to conduct a secret military operation by saying State Dept had received diplomatic permission? That wasn't a rookie mistake. It put lives in danger intentionally. That staffer was Kash Patel.
“Kirk exposed the rigidity of progressive culture,” said Erik Balsbaugh, a left-leaning political organizer.... “That made a lot of young men feel powerful and feel that they were better than the people who were enforcing these cultural norms. It was dangerous, it was subversive.”
His careless, flamboyant hatred cannot be passed off as moderate--tho he says he's a moderate compared to wife Erika.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
I believe so--but the video of Charlie Kirk being shot was "out there."
Kirk's campus visits regularly provoked impassioned protests from students who disagreed with Mr. Kirk’s stances, like his criticism of transgender rights and endorsement of the so-called Great Replacement Theory, which claims immigrants will displace white Americans.

Hair pulling trash from Clyde. New barbarians! & Kirk not even elected to anything!
@markjacob.bsky.social: I'd appreciate a FB
The platform of hate and racism spewed by Charlie Kirk is also disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. Hate begets hate. Trump promoted it and Kirk made his living from it.
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University. Kirk is known for spreading far right beliefs to young Americans through Turning Point USA, including racism, xenophobia, and other ideologies like lessening restrictions on gun ownership.
Nobody should have shot Charlie Kirk, but his “work” was pushing racism, misogyny, ignorance and bigotry. It was not good work and made our society worse.
No, Ezra Klein, Charlie Kirk wasn't “practicing politics the right way.” He promoted racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia. Kirk had every right to express his political views, and his death is an outrage. But no one who believes in peace and love should praise what he was doing to our politics.
It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.
Know your rights! Please share #resist
Shut this hate movement down! We don't need this shit in America 🚩😱😡🤮
As usual the person really responsible for the death of Charlie Kirk is blaming everyone but himself. trump lit the country on fire with his divisive rhetoric but takes no responsibility. trump will use the assassination to help trump. The malignant narcissist keeps metastasizing.
yes, keep real transparency coming, @RepTimBurchett!
1/2 With Kirk gone, where does this leave the movement he helped start? In many ways, Turning Point is bigger than Kirk. The group has more than 250,000 student members and over 450 staff members with a presence on more than 3,500 high school and college campuses, according to its website.
2/2 However, the group’s fundraising and advocacy were often centered on Kirk himself, raising questions about where it goes from here. “I know Charlie’s legacy doesn’t end here,” Donald Trump Jr., who was close to Kirk, said on X.
Tim Burchett is a total fraud. He works the media into believing that he sincerely wants transparency on Epstein, but whenever Trump is implicated we see that he only says that stuff to get booked on cable. He'll happily partake in a coverup to protect his Dear Leader.
The protester wheeled back around after the “quivering” comment and it appeared, in that U-turn, that the man’s torso may have made contact with Burchett. Burchett responded with a two-armed shove of the protester before police intervened. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Then there's fingerprints, DNA, & whatever coming too. Shooter like caught very soon. And I agree with Marisa Kabas, lay off silly hate speech, & piling on transgender folk..
Some suggest he thought Kirk too liberal, so he shot him. Or: jealous of Kirk's charisma. Or shooter disliked Kirk's often hateful thinking. What matters most is the shooter's crossing the line into violence, like school shooters.
KIRK SHOOTER was 1 person, prepared to act with violence. Doesn't matter if he was right or left wing, it was his resort to violence & murder that was the defining characteristic.
Was he supposed to lie?

The FBI has released photos of a “person of interest” in connection with the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s shooter.
I want to affirm democracy & free speech--even as current pressures on lawmakers are horrendous, & Murkowski ("pedo protector") speaks openly of her fear, as if asking for our protection (which probably Kirk should have gotten too, in one form or another, such as undercover monitoring).

Who is MSNBC? A moneymaking liberal honeypot or a bastion of free but still responsible speech? @MSNBC, show your true colors! Will you fire Maddow next? Don't. Rehire Dowd. Stand for something despite RW indignation. Dowd & Tur are within responsible zone even if RW offended. Let them speak!
Dowd told the truth. While Kirk pushes Xn values, he was consistently demeaning to minorities, etc., & bonded with Trump with similar divisive & prejudicial comments. Kirk's willingness to debate verbally was good theatre & welcome.
Dowd's "sin:" Kirk’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive, younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”
