Instantly after he tweeted this, calls and threats. Within seconds. Zero consequences for incitement on Twitter.

Forty years ago, these young men lived in miserable isolation, powerless, feckless, and mostly harmless. Short of getting them the help that they need (which most will not accept) disrupting the networks that empower them is job one.
This is the funniest thing i’ll read this week
mike lee allegedly went to law school and passed the bar. aside from stephen king's claim being true, a dead person's estate can't sue for defamation, on account of the fact that a dead person can't suffer an injury to their reputation, because they are dead.

America's lowest wage workers were experiencing the fastest wage growth from 2015-2022. Now they are experiencing the slowest wage growth and the most abrupt deceleration.
It low key feels like they're trying to target Blacker cities because the footage of mostly white people opposing them is not what they want.
jesus christ this is the most naive thing i've read in a bit
i have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis since 2016 and the advances that have been made in MS treatment and medications, which also contribute to research and treatment for other conditions like parkinson's, are fucking amazing. these medications are safe and effective and i get amazing care.
Publicly targeting one of the most prominent Jewish public intellectuals in the country right now is one way to "fight antisemitism," I suppose.
An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.
Our leading publications trip over themselves to write about antisemitism on campus, and while we see wall-to-wall coverage of Kirk's murder on homepages, this story doesn't even register. This was at a high school. Maybe if it were at Harvard or Yale... bsky.app/profile/nich...
Even the ones who aren't true believers are cowards too scared of Trump/other Republicans to ever stand up for anything. None of them want to end up like Kirk and they're too big of cowards to go high profile public or even to just quit. So they go along with it.
Normally this would be treated as authoritative and it's newsworthy that the president *said* it, but after the past couple of days, I imagine outlets are gonna work to fact-check this.

Charlie Kirk is not their Reichstag fire what they want this to be is their version of the Ernst vom Rath killing. That's why there is the push so hard to have it be a lefty of trans
I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.
First time DoorDasher in the Red Robin waiting area
In Turkey and the United States, over confidence in the country's status as a democracy made institutions and opposition parties over complacent about the risks of authoritarian slide. The results are plain
yes we can heal this nation 🦕✌️🦖
When the Governor of California says he wants to carry on Charlie Kirk’s legacy, believe him.
starting to believe that some people's commitment to opposing political violence is not 100% sincere
Charlie Kirk's body gets a personal escort home from the vice president. Meanwhile, back in April, neither President Trump nor anyone else from the White House bothered traveling to Dover Air Force Base to greet the bodies of four fallen soldiers.
Reminder that Trump spent all week trying to get Kamala Harris assassinated too by pulling her secret service detail and then using the police union to pull her security detail offered by the LAPD, let’s not forget about that.
One reason they’re so angry about liberals being honest about who Kirk was is this kid looks like he was radicalized by the same ideology Kirk espoused.
Feel like I’ve seen almost nothing from what happened at the Naval Academy, so here it is: False alarm of an active shooter, but a midshipman mistook an officer for the alleged shooter, assaulted him, and the officer shot him www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/u...

thank god we’re all against political violence
If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.
Mamdani's spent the months after the primary reaching out to everyone who opposed him to try and find some common ground in governing the city. He's actually practicing politics the right way.
A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere
"This is no time for whitewashing the memory of a man who did more than perhaps anyone in his generation to recruit young people into the inherently violent cause of white nationalism." interc.pt/4goBuo6
The @yankees.com never held a moment of silence for any trans person murdered. They have not held a moment of silence for any of the victims of the genocide in Gaza. They did not hold one for George Floyd, even when other MLB teams did. But they held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk.
Really truly hate people who talk like this, watching snuff films on your phone for two years has done nothing for anyone and bragging about it is admitting that it’s become an elaborate act of entertainment for you
I still get like that when I remember that Chipotle took away the Chorizo
Also this is why people need to start explaining WHO Charlie Kirk was, all the evil shit he said and did, so then they can be like wait, and the flag is half mast WHY
They didn't pull the episode off streaming or try to completely erase it, they just pulled it from the re-run rotation on the TV channel. They merely decided not to re-air it right now in the immediate aftermath, which isn't surprising or a big deal.
Every time there was a catastrophe like a plane crash or a natural disaster, Charlie Kirk would accuse random black, female, or gay officials of being "DEI hires" who killed people. With zero evidence.
"The dark new America that Kirk dedicated his life to manifesting has finally arrived. A complete collapse of the online and the offline, where political violence is simply just another opportunity to grow your personal brand if you can turn your phone on fast enough and make it out alive."
“je suis charlie” was a very long ten years ago
You might pity the tragic millennial, respecting pronouns and petting doggos while zoomers point, laugh, and self-radicalize in the manosphere. But as Daniel Kolitz suggests, such sweeping generalizations serve no one but the clickbait farmers.
Multiple international leaders have posted messages denouncing the murder of Charlie Kirk & expressing profound grief at his death. None of these politicians posted about the recent murders of any other Americans, including the targeted assassination of actual Democratic elected officials.
As @jackjenkins.me notes, there's a weird video glitch around the 19 second mark. It's unclear why. I've clipped that part below. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
I genuinely hate that Republican politicians only feel brave enough to say stuff like this when they're retiring.
i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social
This is how it's going to go: reducing constitutionally-guaranteed rights to smaller and smaller groups of "real Americans." Also how they will square the gun rights circle—only true patriots should be armed! Loyalty guarantees citizenship!
I want what they have
Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...
Incredible work Crashout Patel
'AMATEUR HOUR!' is how one senator described FBI director Kash Patel's handling of the Charlie Kirk murder probe. My latest with @delaneyrules.bsky.social: www.huffpost.com/entry/fbi-di...
Meanwhile - JERUSALEM, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an agreement on Thursday to push ahead with a controversial settlement expansion plan that would cut across land that the Palestinians seek for a state. "There will not be a Palestinian state," he said.
I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
"But while Weiss is widely understood as a provocateur, what is less well understood is how she has used the Free Press to empower rightwing factions within established elite institutions," writes @davidklion.bsky.social. Really important reporting here. www.theguardian.com/media/ng-int...

I like making my silly 9/11 jokes, but I’m going to be serious for this post Did you know that 24 years later 1100 victims still haven’t been identified? They’re doing the painstaking work in labs to sift through dirt and debris to find bone fragments and hope it’s enough to make an…
"But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
media: Charlie Kirk stood for the most important American value of free speech *evidence not available* Government: in honour of Charlie Kirk we must impose harsh government punishment on anyone who ever said anything mean about him

Tom Clancy, a guy who's entire shtick is writing revenge fantasies about killing non-Americans, was nicer to/about muslims on 9/11/01 than most democrats were for the following decade. I didn't see anyone be this 'nice' for years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSjr...

"Instead, House Republicans have pushed measures that would grant liability relief to pesticide companies and constrain E.P.A. regulation of so-called forever chemicals."

Struggling mightily to stay awake on this very special day
The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things: 1. Cops are bad at their jobs 2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs
but reality really pitched this one underhand bsky.app/profile/jaso...
24 years ago, on the morning of September 11, 2001, Category 1 Hurricane Erin was located just off the northeast U.S. coast. It was being ushered out to sea by a strong cold front, which brought clear skies and northerly winds to the northeastern states. [1/3]
Anyone else feel like we are being asked to behave to a higher standard than literally any conservative ever has or ever will?
Now on Sid Rosenberg's radio show, Adams goes even further, saying "the hate that took down our towers" on 9/11 is also responsible for Kirk's death. Again, there has been no arrests in the Kirk shooting yet.
Among the rhetorical violence of today, September 11th, it would be a shame if we failed to recognize the anniversary of Ted Cruz indicating his fondness for stepmoms who give inside jobs.
what a supermodel
This is what 450 million years of experiencing life on Earth looks like.
Kirk paid to bus people to J6, man. He was not invested in a peaceful path to winning democracy through debate, he was happy to have the appearance of playing within the rules of constitutional liberalism while actively working to overthrow it. www.govinfo.gov/app/details/...
We remember 9/11 not only on this day, but every day—in the empty seats at our tables, in the loved ones still suffering from illness, in a skyline forever changed. And we recommit ourselves to building a future worthy of the courage and sacrifice of those we lost.
Given how the powerful have already eulogized the campus hatemonger, we're likely to see state violence (against who? probably whoever the right wants to target anyway) in the wake. As goons assault and disappear people, an outcome Kirk wanted, we don't need media lying that he was a man of peace.
mad to me how many people are apparently struggling with this!
“After a gunman reportedly deceived by anti-vaccine disinformation opened fire on the CDC and fatally shot David Rose, a community grieves as Trump officials remain silent. A lie murdered David Rose.” www.theguardian.com/... 1/4
Kirk's fan would cheerfully lynch them and yet Democratic leadership cannot stop begging the fascists to see them as emphatic human beings. Baffling they don't get it.
Trump was already doing this and was going to do it and will do it. And Democratic leadership responded by trying to "find middle ground".
Tough choice for Starmer to sack Mandelson, but we can all agree it was masterful of him to only do this after 48 solid hours saying he would not sack him because he really really likes and trusts the guy who supported the most famous paedophile the world has ever known.
Unsurprisingly, the thing Noah Smith is saying is obviously not true. Look at reports on the reaction to the assassination of MLK... "glee, satisfaction and weeping in equal parts" (www.nytimes.com/2018/04/02/r...) as the Smithsonian notes "some actually celebrated" (nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...).
These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
The people who cover politics cover the sport of politics as distinct from government. To them a very successful political influencer *is* more important than a state legislator. They’ve heard of him before. (Because this is bluesky so it helps to be explicit — this is bad)
Endless jerking off motion
MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence
Ai wrote that I can tell
the ultimate result of the mighty social media revolution is that we made it so Rotten dot com can leap out at you at random intervals all over the internet when you’re least expecting it
We probably deserve whatever happens at this point Maybe we can convince Russia to make it quick
You also need to say this shit when people get fired for mentioning their personal gender or get roughed up for looking at ICE the wrong way. Come the fuck on. If you believe this, believe it for everyone.
Charlie kirks body isnt even cold yet and you’re demanding the epstein files? Have some decorum, libs
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
I am seriously losing it over the fact that everyone with a voice thinks a podcaster dying warrants far more words than the kids that get killed twice a month
