One of the best posts I have read in a long time. And, I am a devoted reader. Thank you for your VOICE in the presence of such darkness. I swear I am living in the second "Dark Ages". I will do what I can to illuminate and dispel the darkness, alongside those who bring light and love. Thank you, thank you!!!

Yes. Kirk is gone. Is that a good thing? Well, yeah. However, I fear how he’s gone will escalate. We’re about to see more of this shit. It’s gonna get real bad, and that’s not good. ✊🇺🇸😎

Thank you I’m so sick of the Democrats and liberals bending over backwards to say this is a tragedy. It is not. It is a gift .

You need not thank me, Tina.

We are all in this fight together.

Cant do it alone, and we have no reason to.

FWIW— I’ve had psychic visions my entire life— and as a seer— I saw this as an inside job.

I have been wondering about this, there are too many sketchy details about it, and how it happened. Im not a conspiracy person, but there are visible logical inconsistencies involved.

The aftermath of Pres. Pantload seemed a little off. Now the apparent clusterfuck of Kirk's shooting was a little off. He obviously died instantly, but there's always a med presence at an event like that. Isn't there? And knowing the right's compassion and caring about human life, this is a perfect opportunity to devolve into a complete war on the Left. What's one life more or less? To be clear, I HATE violence of any kind. But something like this makes me beyond sick.

Yeah- I don’t know anything about conspiracy— your piece is the first I’ve read on it since I saw a video post by Samantha Paige yesterday. That’s when I saw a vision of a professional sniper- on their stomach shooting this man.

I can't condone political violence. Assassination as a vehicle for governance is unsustainable, it's a ticket to chaos and anarchy. But the world is a better place now that Charlie Kirk is no longer poisoning it. He seemed to be (along with Trump and many, if not most of the MAGA Republicans) utterly lacking in any redeeming qualities. I wish elected Democrats would stop with the performative tears. I don't know what his parents were like, but they didn't do a very good job of raising their son. His wife? Anyone who would marry someone such as Kirk does not have a functioning moral compass. And his kids? Impossible to predict what this will do to them now or in the future, but it can't be any worse than living with Charlie Kirk as their father.

Cheryl ODonnnell expressed hopes he will not be cannonized. Unfortunately, but predictably, its already happening. Social media (and live televised events) are being flooded by Republicans tearfully, righteously, and ragefully praising him to the skies as a flawless brave patriot, and calling for "war" against the left and the literal extermination of Democrats, progressives, and all of us who aren't them. I'm not sorry Charlie Kirk is no longer among the living, but who knows where this is going to lead. Nowhere good I fear.

Establishment needs to stop.

Progressive engagement needs to start.

Actions need to be taken to stop the madness.

We cannot sustain ourselves, and our communities.

Thank you for this article and short clips from some of his speeches. He was not promoting unity or inclusion- instead his message was 100% an echo of Trump’s hate and terror. Now he’s depicted as a hero?

Exactly. Which is why I wrote the piece. Hatred cannot be canonized or promoted. And it is actively being just that.

While I am not sorry about the killing, I’m also not happy about it, either. I simply find it ironic that he has become a statistic in his own justification for firearms.

Thank you, Wendy. Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of my queer friends and the relief they felt was literally visible on their faces and in their posture. It was like an actual physical weight had been lifted from them. They abhor gun violence and do not relish that this can happen in our country and they felt a measure of relief.

I had the same relief, but the hard part is, what will take that vacuum space up. So now that stress begins.

Yes. I worry about that too. Radical love and inclusion or doubled down hatred?

Live by the sword die by the sword..

My sister from Utah called me crying yesterday. She said, “People are crazy!!!” Yes indeed sister they are.. but when you create so much crazy, it’s called full circle. Kirk got the hate that he gives.. I can’t give one single tear for this garbage mouth bigoted racist Kirk. Good riddance..

I’m with Wendy.

CK wanted unlimited access to weapons for everyone (but trans folk). This is what happens. Folks get shot. Man got what he asked for didn't he?

PS: I too think there could have been an inside angle. After all, CK had started to QUESTION the Epstein narrative being spun, bounced and spun again, did he not?

I think Leviticus is misunderstood. The context used to shame queerness is really about incest. Adult males taking advantage of familial children. Then concludes by saying it's not just the little girls that should be protected, but the little boys as well.

Right: one hateful , self-righteous, backwards-thinking, women-hating, everybody that’s not white-hating, everybody that’s not fake Christian hating, everybody that’s not “straight”-hating, hating, hating hateful voice that no one ought to be subjected to. Enough hate going around to last us a millennium. Who backed him and gave him that platform and power? More hateful and hate-filled people. I’ve said it before, I just wish they’d crawl back under the moldy, slimy, stinky rocks they climbed out from.

" I just wish they’d crawl back under the moldy, slimy, stinky rocks they climbed out from."

Problem is, they won't do it on their own. They have to be forced back into their holes with lawsuits, kicks, punches and by any means necessary up to and including the brutality they show others.
