Undercover at a Florida vigil for Charlie Kirk

Progressive activist and digital creator Twig has posted not less than 22 movies in regards to the Kirk vigil on her backup TikTok account, plus extra on Instagram, beginning on Friday. She says TikTok banned her unique account after she first posted her movies, although no particular purpose has but been given for the suspension.

Fans of Charlie Kirk, who toured U.S. faculty campuses to unfold right-wing messages beneath the tagline “prove me wrong,” held vigils throughout the nation over the weekend following his capturing dying on Sept. 10, 2025. Twig attended one such vigil in disguise in Northeast Florida, saying she went to look at and document, to not instigate something.

“I want to know what the local reaction is,” she mentioned in a pre-vigil video. “I want to know what rhetoric is going to be spread at these in-person, local localized events that are near me.”

“I don’t know about you, but I haven’t felt that way again since yesterday.”

Many conservative figures positioned the blame for Kirk’s dying on the left earlier than authorities launched any info on an individual of curiosity within the case. Without figuring out that the person who would flip himself in had Trump-supporting mother and father and engaged with groyper memes on-line, they demanded that the left “turn down” their rhetoric about the appropriate.

The American Reichstag hearth

The rhetoric from the appropriate continues to alarm free speech advocates and weak populations. One far-right persona who has over 18,000 followers on X, Matt Forney, referred to as the capturing the “American Reichstag fire.”
