As four-time subscribers to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and lifelong fans of her music, our family knows that Dolly Parton loved a good story. I hope that you’ll pick up a book and celebrate the magic of storytelling in her honor today.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: President Trump says they have Charlie Kirk’s kiIIer IN CUSTODY

HELL YES!

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Maybe you’re glad Charlie Kirk is dead.

Maybe you think he was hateful and harmed your community.

I’m not going to convince you to feel sad.

But I want to show you where both sides are headed.

Because when the assassin fired, they didn’t just hit him.

They hit all of us.

[Green Beret Nap Time @GBNT1952]

This is one of my favorite clips from Charlie because you get to see just a sliver of how brilliant this man actually was.

[Aɴᴛ @AntSpeaks]

It is NOT a "both sides" issue.

No assassination attempts on Biden.
No assassination attempts on Kamala.
No assassination attempts on AOC.
No assassination attempts on any other prominent voice on the political left.

No violence from pro-Israeli crowds.
No arrests on the pro-Israeli side.
No calls for death or murder of those who oppose the pro-Israeli side.

Those who oppose gender ideology do not call for the death of those who disagree with them.

Those who oppose movements like BLM did not call for the death of those who took part in the BLM riots.

Social media is not flooded with videos from those on the right celebrating the deaths of those on the left or wishing harm upon them.

It is not a "both sides" issue.

If Charlie Kirk’s life meant anything, it’s this: Silence in the face of darkness is NOT an option. He did not go gentle into that good night. He spoke. He challenged. He knew that surrender only hastens the darkness.

Today, that mantle falls to us. This is our moment to rage. Not with hatred. Not with anger. But with courage. Not with violence, but with truth telling. Rage against the hopelessness that says, “there is nothing you can do. Sit down.” There is ALWAYS something you can do.

Never give them what they want, be it silence or an act of vengeance. Instead, offer nothing but love, kindness, and the unrelenting truth. Those are the flames that hold back the darkness.

My friend Charlie carried that torch. He was forced to lay it down. It is ours to pick up.

[toddstarnes @toddstarnes]

Democrats have dehumanized Conservatives. It started with Obama calling us bitter Americans who cling to our guns and our religion. It was Hillary Clinton calling us an irredeemable basket of deplorables. It was Joe Biden calling us the dregs of society. It was Maxine Waters telling them to absolutely harass us in restaurants and grocery stores. They called us Nazis and Hitler. They called us homophobes and bigots and racists and xenophobes. I hold all them responsible. They all have blood on their hands today.

[Dennis Prager @DennisPrager]

As an American, as a Jew, and as Dennis, I am devastated at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The truth is, as I write these words, I can’t believe I am writing them. I am in the denial stage of mourning.

As an American, we have lost the most articulate spokesman for America and its unique value system—a country founded to be free, based on Jerusalem and Athens, the Judeo-Christian value system and the Greek emphasis on logic and reason. Charlie was a uniquely gifted individual who, in his teens, created the largest movement of young Americans committed to preserving and growing America and its ideals. He tirelessly went from campus to campus, from Oxford to Utah, dialoging with any student who wished to debate him. Using his vast reservoir of facts and his exceptionally speedy and articulate mind, he gave them what seemed to be unlimited amounts of time, and then calmy eviscerated all their anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-Judeo-Christian positions. I watched an inordinate number of these exchanges and thanked God that Charlie Kirk was there to do this work. America’s youth in particular have lost a moral and intellectual leader, one who would, perhaps, have one day become their president.

As a committed Jew, I thank God regularly that a non-Jew, a committed Christian, became one of the few great public spokesmen on behalf of Israel the Jewish communities outside of Israel. Few Jews could match Charlie’s knowledge and eloquent arguments on behalf of those two entities.

As Dennis, I have lost a very close friend. Charlie repeatedly visited me in the various hospitals that I have been in since November 12 of last year, when I suffered a catastrophic fall which has left me paralyzed. When members of the nursing staff heard that Charlie Kirk was visiting me, my room became the most popular one in the hospital. Charlie brought me the manuscript of his forthcoming book arguing that everyone—Christians as well as Jews—should observe Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, just as he and his family had begun to do from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. It is a measure of our close relationship that he dedicated the book to me. His brilliant exposition of these arguments provide clear evidence for the non-necessity of a college education for most young Americans.

My heart breaks for his young widow, Erika, and for his two children, who have lost as great a man and a father as children can have. And for Charlie, who did not live to see them grow up. For one of the first times in my 20 years with my wife, Sue, I have seen her sob uncontrollably. The Prager home is in deep mourning, as are the homes of countless Americans. The loss to us personally and to the country generally is immeasurable.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.
