  2. Social media has us in its grip and won’t let go. The Charlie Kirk killing is a case study, says @AssociatedPress.

    "Utah’s governor, Republican Spencer Cox, believes 'cancer' isn’t a strong enough word to describe social media."

  3. Utah governor says the motive in Charlie Kirk shooting is not yet certain but the suspect was on the left.

    @AssociatedPress reports: "A Republican who has called on all partisans to tone down their rhetoric following the attack, the governor added: 'I really don’t have a dog in this fight. If this was a radicalized MAGA person, I’d be saying that as well.'”

    A News Item And A Silly Cartoon

    By Liza Donnelly, Sep 14, 2025

    Apparently, new information into the investigation of the Kirk murder last week has just emerged, according to the NY Times. Govenor Spencer Cox of Utah reported that the suspect had been “radicalized” after he left college (he only studied for one semester), and according to Cox, was in a romantic relationship with someone who was transitioning from male to female. This person was his roomate, and there is no evidence that trans issues are a part of motive. The roomate is apparently co-operating with authorities.

    “There clearly was a leftist ideology with this — with this assassin,” the governor said, citing the suspect’s family and romantic partner as sources of that information.

    This is just the kind of news the radical right wants to hear, and if true, they will have more ammunition to blame Democrats for Kirk’s death; although they would do that anyway, regardless.

    We will perhaps know more on Tuesday when the suspect will be charged. He is not cooperating with Utah authorities thus far.

    Among other things, Kirk was ani-transgender, and extremely anti-independent women. The more I see and hear about his views on women in particular, the angrier I get. I also have difficulty with mainstream media highlighting the “dialogue” format Kirk used when visiting college campuses. It was his way of manipulating young minds and getting video clips to use online to further indoctrinate youth. I do not believe there was anything democratic about what he was doing—and he himself is quoted as saying he “hates empathy.” I have viewed some of these, and they are difficult to watch. He was a radical Christian right white male with arrogant and unyielding views, and his “dialogues” with college kids were a constuct to make them look stupid, and Kirk dominant. He was only after changing minds to his way of thinking, and thus, gain more power.

    How it is affecting the right is extremely important. That the alleged shooter might have left-leaning views is newsworthy— it changes the dynamic.

    If true.

    I will wait to hear more because I do not trust the right to provide facts, when they repeatedly demonstrate that they weaponize misinformation.

  5. @radleybalko.bsky.social unsurprisingly #SpencerCox has shown himself to be literally the only adult in the room

  6. How did I miss this the first time... Utah's governor Spencer Cox, literally said he was praying that Charlie Kirk's killer would be an immigrant or at least not from Utah.

    Talk about saying the quiet parts out loud!

    This entire investigation is full of officials who are profoundly biased and unable to even hide that.

    Sure seems like a time for conservative white folks to look inward and figure out this white on white crime.

  7. Utah Governor Spencer Cox doing the responsible thing right now: inflaming the situation by declaring Charlie Kirk's murder a "political assassination" before a suspect is even identified, and invoking the death penalty.

  8. The #law, which was signed by #Republican Gov #SpencerCox on March 27 & will go into effect on May 7, comes amid renewed scrutiny of #fluoride, a mineral that has been widely added to US #DrinkingWater since 1945 to prevent cavities. Controversy over the safety of water fluoridation has intensified in recent years, driven in part by #ConspiracyTheories & by growing resistance to #PublicHealth interventions since the #pandemic.

  12. Wow, governor of #Utah #SpencerCox looks like Mr. Burns from #TheSimpsons made flesh. (Or whatever it is #Republicans wear over their evil souls.)

  13. Spencer Cox “freely admits” there are Republican lawmakers who are “targeting” transgender youth, but insists he’s just looking out for kids.
