“The past week has seen a whirlwind of escalating rhetoric, legal maneuvers and doxing fervor emanating from the White House and its lockstep media allies. They are signaling — and sometimes overtly laying out — how the Trump administration plans on exploiting the September 10 killing of conservative media figure Charlie Kirk into a coherent and wide ranging regime of ideological disciplining. Yet, amid this fast-moving campaign, leading Democrats have offered little to no defense of the most basic rights to free speech and assembly. It is not clear what they intend to do, if anything, to stop an all-out assault on non-profits, social movements or any left-leaning political advocacy.” [editor’s note: Yet another apologist for a political terrorist from his own bubble – SAT] [editor’s note: If you think Trump & Co. aren’t exploiting the killing to the max for their own benefit, that thing you’re doing that you think is thinking isn’t – TLK] (09/16/25)
