During this admin, no doubt about it. Previous ones at least had competent leadership that were hired for their expertise instead of loyalty, however.

You do realize that the original post is on lemmy.zip and not lemmygrad, right?

Didn’t even need that long. Right-wing outlets (Fox, Daily Mail) are now posting articles about “sources” (which they do not elaborate on) confirming to them that shooter’s roommate was his “transgender partner”.

The Daily Mail tries very hard to imply a romantic partnership in the first few paragraphs despite no evidence of such, then go on to clarify they don’t know the relationship details after priming the reader.

Charlie Kirk shooting suspect ‘was living with transgender partner who handed over texts about assassination plot to the police’

The partner – who shared a three-bedroom apartment with Robinson in Utah – is said to be ‘fully co-operating’ with the FBI.

The room-mate is understood to have handed over text messages allegedly sent by Robinson after the killing, apparently saying where to retrieve the rifle used in the assassination after it was left in a wooded area.

A source told Fox News: 'The shooter was living with a transgender man who was transitioning from male to female.

'The status of their relationship isn’t known. They were friends who enjoyed playing video games together.

Fox, as usual, doesn’t give a shit about waiting for more evidence and just says what they think would get the most engagement:

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin lived with transgender partner who is now cooperating with FBI: Officials

Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a “romantic relationship” with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson’s partner is fully cooperating with the FBI’s investigation.

What a fool-proof solution, Brian. In fact, it’s such a perfect solution that there’s no need for any other solution. You should call it “the Final Solution” and see how far you get with that.

She’s disabled and got left by her husband who escaped via helicopter.

If he treated socioeconomic minorities the same way he treated his wife, it’s no wonder they did what they did.

It’s only cancel culture when those “woke, Democrat libs” do it. When a Republican does it, it’s called “justice”.

I hate this timeline.

Let me fix that for you:

Reactions Anything that doesn’t align with their feelings is fake news to them.

You could publish two contradictory statements at the same time, and they would cherry-pick the one they agree with while dismissing the one they don’t as fake or liberal propaganda.

I’m kinda low key worried he will be from a conservative family who realized there is a lot of bullshit and started aligning with the left. Because that will be a dog whistle for loyalists to kill freedom of speech online.

He likely is.

The Daily Mail is normally a worthless heap of right-wing garbage, but they turned out to be somewhat informative (and with zero journalistic ethics) by posting family photos of the suspect: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086467/amp/Tyler-Robinson-Charlie-Kirk-killer-identified-Utah-Trump.html

• One of those photos is Robinson smiling while wearing a Trump costume for Halloween.

• The family is also religious, evidenced by the dad had him go to a minister before turning himself in.

• Both parents are registered Republicans.

I looked at the list. It’s, ironically and unsurprisingly, the exact same thing they claim the left is doing to them: trying to cancel people for exercising their free speech rights.

It even includes people’s current employers and the cities they live in. Even better, though, is that they don’t even limit it to just people who are celebrating or calling for more violence—they include memes and comments pointing out the irony of the situation, Kirk’s hypocrisy, people expressing their reservation of sympathy/empathy, and even a couple of comments that are literally just people expressing their worry about how the right will react to Kirk’s death.

Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Over half of the first 20 items focus on AI, and that’s not even considering the ads.

I had to see it for myself, and yeah, it’s real. A bit misleading because of how Google calculates interest in a topic relative to the time frame requested, but real nonetheless.

Google Trends, past 30 days, worldwide.

If you expand the time range, the most searches were actuallt in 2021. September 2025 reached 28% of that peak, though.

That’s also where Trump immediately went before they even had a person of interest. They’re all just spreading misinformation to set up a narrative that justifies what they wanted to do in the first place.

Even better: a bait and switch.

“Once again, we have lost a true American patriot. Assassinated in cold blood by traitors waging WAR on not just our country, but our way of life and freedom. Our voices will not be silenced! They took one of our best and brightest, most outspoken voices of reason—for doing nothing more than daring to threaten their radical agenda. They will not take another, so help us God. Never forget 2025. Never forget Melissa Hortman.”

The guaranteed response is them deflecting to “Antifa’s gang violence” and then “proving” it by hypocritically talking about how people in the left openly celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder.

They just have no legal recourse if the reward is not paid.

Even if they did, anyone desperate enough for the vague promise of money isn’t going to have enough of it to hire a lawyer.

It’s not even peers sharing class interests that they care about. It’s sharing the interests of their superiors to the detriment of their own, and the gullibile idea that it acktually helps themselves because they’re due to also become one of wealthy. It’s nothing more than class worship.

Surely, you don’t mean those “leaked” internal investigation documents written under the oversight of right-wing cronies that describe the bullets as having “transgender” and “anti-fascist” writing on them aren’t absolute, indisputable proof that the shooter was a radical commie? What are you, reasonable?

Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law-enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation.

Without the actual text, for all we know, it says “we all have rights”. I would be entirely unsurprised if a right-wing agency head decides that it warrants looking into left-leaning individuals, then someone leaks it to the press to start the dissemination of that narrative that it was proved to be a left-wing shooter before anyone actually caught him.

Collaborating with fascists won’t even get you your thirty pieces of silver

30 pieces of lead look kind of like silver if you squint hard enough while bleeding out from them. Just saying. It’s not like you get nothing from collaborating with fascists.

Cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing on them were found.

Unsurprisingly, barely any of the media is reporting that correctly.

That’s how it was described by government officials when leaked to specific news agencies and kept extremely vague. “Transgender and anti-fascist” writing could mean “we have equal rights” or “gun control is safety” for all we know, but now the narrative is out there for them finding “evidence” that the perpetrator is {insert some trigger word for groups that the right already thinks is trying to destroy them}.
