man I really hope it's true that the algorithm disproportionately serves up deranged responses to this sort of thing that are not representative of the broad population. Because... I'm seeing a lot of deranged takes.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

this is true. we live in insane times. people should not kill people on the other side of political debates.
What happened to Charlie Kirk is unconscionable, but it was literally a few months ago that two Democratic state legislators were gunned down by a right wing activist. Let’s not pretend this is one-sided

I really don't care about anyone's politics right now, today is a dark and sad day for our country. I am sick with grief over the state of things. We must be better than this.
