One of our supporters had this through the door today - she has a Charlie Kirk tribute on her house.

The silent majority stands with Charlie.

Whether they end up being related or not to Kirk, the bio of this group is interesting as hell.

Founder of Armed Queers group investigated in Charlie Kirk shooting is radical trans leftist who advocated violence
https://nypost.com/2025/09/17/us-new...trans-leftist/

Quote:
The cache of information includes posts from Ermiya Fanaeian, the child of Iranian immigrants, according to the source familiar with the federal investigation, whose Instagram bio calls for “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!”


Quote:
Despite her fringe leftist views, Fanaeian has time and again been welcomed by the political mainstream, and even rewarded for her advocacy.

In 2022, Fanaeian was given a “7 for 17” award for “gender equality” by the Utah Global Diplomacy, a nonprofit that worked with the State Department to “promote citizen diplomacy and international exchange in Utah.”

Fanaeian also joined then-presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) onstage during an April 2019 campaign event in Salt Lake City, an archived picture from Fanaeian’s since-deleted Facebook page shows.

A Warren spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment Wednesday.


Quote:
In 2020, Fanaeian, 25, started the Salt Lake City chapter of Pink Pistols, a national organization “whose mission is to arm LGBTQ people,” Utah’s KUER wrote that year in a puff piece heralding Fanaeian’s involvement in the group.

I used to think that guns were a scary thing,” Fanaeian told the outlet. “Back then, I would have agreed with Joe Biden’s assertion to take everyone’s AR-15s away. And now I own one.”
In Utah those statements would just be another normal day.

Quote:
It was quite a pivot — just a year earlier, she founded the local chapter of March for Our Lives — David Hogg’s group, which campaigns to restrict gun rights.

However, the honeymoon phase with Pink Pistols was short-lived; Fanaeian, then a University of Utah student, and the group parted ways just a year later. Pink Pistols now disavowing any connection to the former chapter leader.
Quote:
“The Party for Socialism and Liberation is not a liberal movement — we are a leftist movement,” Fanaeian told the outlet. “We are an anti-capitalist movement. We are a working class revolutionary movement.”

PSL’s main backer is Neville Singham, a US millionaire tech mogul with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who bankrolls other radical organizations including National Students for Justice in Palestine, International People’s Assembly, Code Pink and ANSWER Coalition.
A few former affiliates of her scrubbed links to her interestingly enough.

In a way at least this gave us more time to pause to grieve and reflect for a change on behalf of all the people being effected adversely by political events... there's really not much else to say, it's just terrible for the entire country.

We also vastly underestimate the power of substances. What from what I have seen, most of these individuals cite early mental health trauma of some kind. Many have been on psych meds from a young age and also have experimented with other methods of self-medication. All these methods have a profound effect on the development of the mind and it's not talked about nearly enough... experimenting with things like acid for self-medicative purposes can also bring on things like schitzophrenia.

I have a friend who had to be hospitalized from Kratom abuse (I didn't know that was possible...). This was after years of therapy, including one therapist who took him so far down the New Age rabbit hole during a particularly traumatic divorce, thaty they affirmed to him their soon-to-be ex was a soulmate and asserted how easily connected they were. His ex was highly abusive. There was more importance placed on the therapist's ability to discern his state of mind from simple woo than him being able to pick up the skills to discern for himself. He never regained objectivity. He broke down mentally while looking for other methods to self-medicate. He's still suffering privately. I contacted him recently and his moral compass is starting to slip also... It feels horrible.

The attraction to "witchcraft" as a personal weapon is massive tell. It's a huge admission of feeling like one's life is out of their hands... that's a cry for help, imo. These "alternative" methods have gained massive popularity in the US and they are considered as part of legitimate therapy so it can come up even in a simple office visit. And insurance covers this... Hollywood is shoulder deep in these philosophies and it's not as if that's going to fix anything going on internally.

These are the kind of people scrambling for quick solutions. Exercising anger through violence is only one of them. It feels cliche to say this really, but we have a growing mental health problem that is unaddressed.. but unfortunately in the US, we're encouraging the problem by suggesting most solutions to a personal issue involve the cutting out of key figures in our lives, taking very strong prescription meds or otherwise adopting coping strategies that involve largely playing a victim ... too many are being given placebos for their problems by a predatory industry and don't even know it.

We treat that behavior with medications in the US, though, and then people use the fact that they're getting therapy/medications as a validation that their professed problems (imagined or not) are legitimate. So it feeds into the same issue.
