Trump Using Kirk’s Death to Stifle Opposition
“President Trump has begun a major escalation in his long-running efforts to stifle political opposition in the United States, using the assassination of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to make the baseless argument that Democratic organizations and protesters are part of a violent conspiracy against conservative values and the American way of life.”

College Students Weren’t That Fond of Charlie Kirk
70%
A new Generation Lab poll found that Charlie Kirk was almost universally known among college kids: 94% of students had heard of him, a remarkable level of name I.D. for any political figure. However, most college students were not fans. A combined 70% of students said they either “strongly disagree” or “somewhat disagree” with Kirk’s views. Only 30% said they agreed.
Freedom of (Some) Speech
In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, social media is in disarray,
And the right wing’s impulse to control free speech is fully on display.
It’s a campaign of naming and shaming,
Of doxxing and blocking and blaming,
Where the First Amendment only guarantees my right to decide what you can say.
Federal Bureau of Incompetence
Charlie Kirk’s assassination has ignited the MAGA base,
Which responded with its usual measured calm and grace.
But really, there’s no need to be worried,
For ultimately, justice can’t be hurried,
And the Federal Bureau of Incompetence’s Bongino and Patel are on the case.
