The FBI and state of Utah have just released video of the suspect in Charlie Kirk assassination escaping from the scene following the shooting

He jumped off the rooftop, moved quickly through the parking lot, and then began walking casually to blend in before entering a wooded area.

He was wearing

When we stop pretending that words don't kill.
For the record I oppose gunmurder of even gunmurder advocates. #CharlieKirk was a despicable, disgusting, amoral & outright evil man who did great harm every single day he suited up but this kind of stuff just makes the world even more crazy. I don't know how any of it stops.
Gun murder advocate gunmurdered in the gun murder capital of the world. #CharlieKirk

“Violence is never the answer”

Okay, then outlaw the military and police, abolish violence as any form of self defense under the law, mandate the sharing of resources necessary to life, ban any media or game or tool with/for violence, then enforce all these rules without creating new violence.

Another coincidence - people calling Trump out in public and suddenly a soldier in his army falls on the sword and he takes a stand as a self declared hero - so fucked up!
Donald Trump in his speech.

“We need to stop demonizing those with whom you disagree.”

Also in his speech. He talks of the radical left.

This man is so stupid he never doesn’t even understand that he disagrees with himself.

I've not seen it described better yet.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

There is no room for thinking this is revenge, but to spend time thinking about it at all is not a good use of our time, period.
The entire right-wing is going to absolutely lost their minds over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
But just remember how NONE of them gave a DAMN about Melissa Hortman, a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota, being assassinated just a couple of months ago. Trump basically IGNORED it!

May he rest in his idea what empathy is - turn off the tears and lets move on.
One thing I always try to do when someone passes is to honor them the way THEY would have wanted, not the way that makes me most comfortable.

And Kirk made it pretty clear he didn't want to be remembered with empathy, or with calls for a cessation of political violence, or even less shootings.
Here's the clip for proof

It is ONE person, who has caused irreversible damage to millions who he happily pointed out were not like him.
My children are about to lose their father to ALS in the next month & no one is speaking of his legacy of racism & bigotry even remotely comes across as him being a hero of any sort.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

It's clear to the rest of us, the majority, that our lives don't matter to Trump or institutions of power in this country.

Just look at how everyone, including the Yankees and former Presidents, come out to condemn Kirk's murder and offer sympathies as this country unleashes ICE on brown people.

Time to get behind what is happening in the U.S., CANADA STRONG!
BREAKING: Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won the Canadian election.

Just months ago, the Conservatives were headed for a landslide. But after Trump came to power and launched reckless attacks on Canada, many Canadians moved to back Carney as a rejection of Trump.

1 hour of knowing things maybe?
2 hours of western results that probably don't matter that much but are still interesting
