How Do We Talk About Political Violence? Parsing the language of attack and retribution.

"Kirk earned his name / fortune / place in hell by stalking the gullible and the unprepared, sinking his teeth into the most co-optable corners of society (the young, the angry, and the very religious). He’d be pleased to see his legacy abused in the very manner he championed."

Dearest Media,

Stop repeating the narrative that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled for comments about Charlie Kirk. He was pulled for comments about MAGA. Quit taking press releases at face value and get back to reporting FACTS.
