Writing something up
I don’t endorse extrajudicial murder, especially as it looks like it will be used to justify further harm on trans people and others. And I’d be lying if I said there isn’t a part of me, watching a video of a man bleeding out on social media, that feels some measure of empathy—even though that man would have gleefully watched me die the same way, and in fact actively campaigned for it, for all trans people, institutionally and personally. But I don’t feel sadness. The world is better without him in it—even if I wouldn’t have chosen the way he went, I won’t shed a tear for a man who dedicated his life to making mine shorter. He was a Nazi in a nice suit, and the only thing respectable about him now is the silence he finally left behind. What’s enraging is watching the political establishment scramble to lionize him. Not just Trump and his cronies trying to build a martyr out of a Nazi, but mainstream figures too: Ezra Klein praising him for “doing politics the right way,” Gavin Newsom saying we should “honor Charlie’s memory” by continuing his “good-faith debate.” Fuck off. The only reason you can say that is because Kirk played his bigoted game in a suit, looking respectable while calling for the imprisonment and eradication of Muslims, Jews, trans people, queer folks, the homeless, women, BIPOC, everyone who didn’t fit his fascist vision. Meanwhile, anyone who so much as acknowledges that Kirk was “controversial” loses their jobs. MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd got canned. Trans writer Gretchen Felker-Martin lost her Red Hood comic for making the exact kind of biting joke that’s her entire career—she literally wrote Manhunt, a book where TERFs get murdered in an apocalypse. Even I, for simply posting on Bluesky that I “dishonor” Charlie Kirk’s memory by living my life joyously, got flagged and briefly censored for being “rude.” That’s the rot of “centrism”: pretending to hold the middle ground while tilting the scales in fascism’s favor.

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.

may we soften.
white background with the text: They asked: "Why is it important to be kind?" I said: Because we walk past hundreds of people every day, and none of them wear signs that say, "I'm grieving," "I'm exhausted," or "T'm barely holding it together." But they're everywhere. Kindness might be the only softness they receive today. —Vex King
