The Charlie Kirk purge: How 600 Americans were punished in a pro-Trump crackdown – Reuters
Image from Reuters…The Charlie Kirk purge – How 600 Americans were punished in a pro-Trump crackdown
Two months after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a government-backed campaign has led to firings, suspensions, investigations and other action against more than 600 people. Republican officials have endorsed the punishments, saying that those who glorify violence should be removed from positions of trust.

Image from Reuters…When Lauren Vaughn, a kindergarten assistant in South Carolina, saw reports that right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk had been shot at an event in Utah, she opened Facebook and typed out a quote from Kirk himself.
Gun deaths, Kirk said in 2023, were unfortunate but “worth it” if they preserved “the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given Rights.” Following the quote, Vaughn added: “Thoughts and prayers.”
Vaughn, a 37-year-old Christian who has taken missionary trips to Guatemala, said her call for prayer was sincere. She said she hoped reading Kirk’s words in the context of the shooting might prompt her friendsto rethink their opposition to gun control.
“Maybe now they’ll listen,” she recalled thinking.
A few days later, Vaughn lost her job. She was one of more than 600 Americans fired, suspended, placed under investigation or disciplined by employers for comments about Kirk’s September 10 assassination, according to a Reuters review of court records, public statements, local media reports and interviews with two dozen people who were fired or otherwise disciplined.
Some were dismissed after celebrating or mocking Kirk’s death. At least 15 people were punished for allegedly invoking “karma” or “divine justice,” and at least nine others were disciplined for variations on “Good riddance.” Other offending posts appeared to exult in the killing or express hope that other Republican figures would be next. “One down, plenty to go,” one said.
Article Image…Others, like Vaughn, say they simply criticized Kirk’s politics.
In the pro-Kirk camp, at least one academic was put on administrative leave after threatening to “hunt down” those celebrating the assassination.
This account is the most comprehensive to date of the backlash against Kirk’s critics, tracing how senior officials in President Donald Trump’s administration, local Republican lawmakers and allied influencers mobilized to enforce the Trump movement’s views. The story maps the pro-Trump machinery of retaliation now reshaping American political life, detailing its scale and tactics, ranging from shaming on social media to public pressure on employers and threats to defund institutions. Earlier reports by Reuters have documented how Trump has purged the federal government of employees deemed opponents of his agenda and cracked down on law firms defending people in the administration’s crosshairs.

"A #NativeAmerican woman was almost #deported after being caught up in Donald #Trump’s sweeping #immigration #crackdown."
Yet again, #ICE's berserk, unhinged efforts to deport anyone brown leads to "Immigrant Derangement Syndrome" where #AMERICAN #CITIZENS are detained, degraded, disrespected, and brought within MINUTES of being shipped off to parts unknown for torture and who knows what else.

Me: feeling completely lost and wondering what I am doing here as #japan follows the global trend toward #xenophobia #hate and #extremism with a new prime minister described as #farright #ultranationalist , nicknamed 'taliban' by the previous PM, known for her #negationism , #crackdown on #journalism , praise for Hitler, and links to #neonazi party leader or #fascist organisation.
Wife: I'm happy it's our first women prime minister, I think we can expect a lot from her.
Mood is all time high 👍👍👍

Private Prisons: An Exceptionally Niche Asset Class Meets Its Moment
The #Trump administration’s #crackdown on foreign residents has investors and operators mulling new options
By Patrick Sisson, September 9, 2025
Excerpt: " 'I think the liability they’ve [#ForProfitPrisons] experienced is that at different times in their #corporate history, if the demand for #PrivatePrisons decreases, then they have empty facilities sitting there, right?' said Shar Habibi, research and policy director of In the Public Interest, a nonprofit that has advocated against private prisons. 'That’s not good.' "

With the #ICE center in #Dallas getting whacked, I am reminded of #anarchist #FolkHero #WillemVanSpronsen now. We don't know who did it this time, but they were apparently targeting detainees, not officers, and the writing on the bullets looks really fake. No #sympathy for #fascist jackboots. Be ready for it to be used to justify a #crackdown, just like with #CharlieKirk. #NoBorders on #StolenLand.
