As we learn of Charlie Kirk’s death, be prepared for the worst political takes possible trying to spin your fear into more fear, and hate into more hate
Humanity has lost the plot
Violence will breed more violence, and that will never end if we continue down this path
If you're praying for Charlie Kirk, I'm praying with you!
If you're using this to create a narrative of political violence from the LEFT, Im going to remind you that a MAGA man and Trump supporter just assassinated Democratic official Melissa Hortman and her husband less than 3 months ago
My observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence & calling for calm while MAGA are escalating rhetoric & lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest.
Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital.
She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids in Los Angeles, California—it seems she has been targeted for an especially brutal arrest to make an example out of her.
Watch her livestream from inside the car during the arrest. (timestamp 0:34)
There is no official word about Tatiana Martinez's immigration status—or where she is currently being held. #DemsUnited

Washington, DC is a beautiful city.
DC is home to 700K people and welcomes millions every year.
We have the #1 park system, fantastic public schools, and a tremendous public transportation system.
And we are at a 30-year low in violent crime.
It's important for all who live here and visit to know how beautiful our city is and how proud we are of all that we've accomplished.
Sucking up to the President should not be a requirement for him to do the right thing for the American people.
These are families who’ve lost their homes, their belongings — the irreplaceable pieces of a life built over decades, reduced to ash.
Only a truly disturbed person would threaten to withhold aid from victims because they don’t like someone.
BREAKING: The US Marines have detained a US citizen in Los Angeles. This is the first time in known US history that the marines have been used in this way to detain an American without the Insurrection Act being invoked.
The Posse Comitatus Act (1878) Prohibits the use of the U.S. military (Army and Air Force, and by extension Navy and Marines under DoD policy) to enforce domestic laws without explicit Congressional or constitutional authorization.
In other words, Trump is breaking the law once again.
There was no call. Not even a voicemail.
Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to.
First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors.
This ain’t about law and order.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
