All these people falling over themselves to praise Charlie Kirk worry me way more than whoever killed him. It's not a great sign when we can't condemn a man like Kirk.
If we want political violence to end, we *must* be able to condemn people like Charlie Kirk long before it comes to violence. People who are openly proud of their lack of empathy and who work hard to spread hatred of others belong in psychiatric care or prison, not at the head of political organizations.
So, there are some people who like inciting violence.

Their email is expose@charliesmurderers.com

It would be a shame if their doxxing site went down.
A crying shame...
Here's a thread of commentators noting and pushing back against the attempt of journalists and others to whitewash Charlie Kirk's legacy:
"I also find it bizarre and frankly insulting that much of the coverage of this—again, bad—event is asking us to pretend that Kirk stood for civil disagreement and engagement and that we as a nation must come together to mourn him."

[The Nation]: Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning
The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division. By Elizabeth Spiers, September 12, 2025

"It is impossible to have a rational conversation about topics like lowering the political temperature and pushing back against the spread of political violence when the president of the United States is interested in those issues only as a cudgel against his political opponents."
~ Matt Gertz
I’m flooding every #MAGA feed with the "Trump assassinated Kirk to shut him up about the Epstein files" conspiracy theory to influence their algorithms.
If you're on any legacy social media, you should do the same.
It is actually starting to gain traction and overwhelm all the other rhetoric.

"One thing to watch for in the coming days is that if Kirk’s shooter will no longer be referred to as 'the left' he will instead be more opaquely characterized as 'they.' They killed Kirk. This is what happened to Trump’s shooter, inviting the false assumption that he is representative of a coherent political opposition to Trump. It turns out that the right sometimes does prefer pronouns."

Some #CharlieKirk quotes, with more of the surrounding words than I've seen in other posts and as much additional context as I could squeeze on the page.

Some great sassy advice from Audrey in Paris about how to handle the mandated mourning that wants to dictate 1) that we mourn, 2) whom we mourn, and 3) how we mourn — in this case, Charlie Kirk.
And let's not pretend that the mandated mourning may be channeled by MAGA but emanates to a great extent from a white Christian nationalism that wants total control of all of us.

My thoughts and prayers are with #GavinNewsom' tiny boner for #CharlieKirk. As it struggles to strain and inch towards fascism, let's show our support and wish it well on its journey to irrelevance. Soon, his worthless nub dries out, turns to dust, and evaporates with our democracy.

#Disney said in a statement Monday that “#JimmyKimmel Live!” will return to its #ABC broadcast on Tuesday.
The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist #CharlieKirk to #Trump’s #MAGA movement.

Where racist mass media and cuckold corporations would rather see hate speech than DEI.
Whete Charlie Kuck can call for the death of a president and celebrate an attempted murder of the Speaker of the House's spouse.but we can't call him a fucking racist.
Fuck ya'll and the white hoods you rode in with.

What the Public Memory of #CharlieKirk Revealed
For those who felt denigrated by his rhetoric, the bipartisan tributes to him as a champion of free speech augured something dangerous: the #mainstreaming of formerly #extremist views.
