It took charlie kirk dying for ya'll to start thinking critically about the political atmosphere?

Not the 45 other school shootings?
Not the black and brown people detained by ICE?
Not the hundreds of trans people losing their lives?
Not the college kids arrested for protesting?

If Charlie Kirk was killed by a Black, it would’ve been all Black people are violent thugs, but since it’s a white person, it’s “the left” 😂

this what bro had to say about empathy so don’t give him any

[William Kory Amyx for Indiana @AmyxForIndiana]

Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.

Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.

That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.

But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.

This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.

Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.

Charlie Kirk aside, imagine the crowd hyping his pro-gun rhetoric. Then a shot rings out. In that instant of panic when they realize they might die by the very thing they worship, did the irony finally hit them?

the worst person you know from high school is posting a picture of charlie kirk and his kids on their ig story rn

[ayan. @artan_ayan]

according to kirk, empathy is a made-up new age term, so keep the jokes coming. it's what he would've wanted 🥹

y’all don’t get this worked up when kids get shot at school though.

[meredith 🍉 @dietz_meredith]

“he has children” you evil fucks don’t care when the victims ARE children

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

This is a good time to remind ourselves of the two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers who were shot just a few months ago.

And Trump didn't lower the flags for them or any school shooting.

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Not to be dramatic but having good friends will really save your life.

I don’t wish bad on nobody, rotten fruits fall on its own.

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

At some point you really have to tell yourself “this is not an experience I want to keep having” and stop entertaining things that don’t benefit you in any way.

[introvert @livewithnoregrt]

i love people who were raised right. they do things with common sense, intuition, and respect.

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

I think the most beautiful thing about life, is at any moment, u can start over. There’s always space for you to reinvent yourself, grow, and become a better version of yourself.
