Foreign brands not linked to Kirk’s Turning Point USA sell patriotic gear with unclear promises to donate profitsJust hours after Charlie Kirk’s death was confirmed, hundreds of advertisements for memorial merchandise appeared on Facebook and Instagram.In a viral post with more than 8,000 shares and hundreds of thousands of likes, the brand See Jesus In You promoted an “Echo of Freedom” shirt with an American flag and Kirk’s signature, calling him a symbol of “faith, liberty, and America”. The simple shirt, which Kirk was wearing when he was assassinated, has become a hot commodity among his conservative supporters. Another clothing brand, Liberty Faith Gear, struck a much more combative tone in marketing its version of the freedom tee, as it urged “patriots [to] rise when freedom is attacked. We do not hide. We do not bow.” Continue reading...

The president’s admission is more than bravado. By blurring truth and criminalising dissent, he is dismantling the US’s free-speech order from withinAt Sunday’s memorial for the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump paid a peculiar tribute. Having quoted Mr Kirk’s words of forgiveness, he put aside the script. “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie,” he said. “I hate my opponents, and I don’t want the best for them.” It was a stark and clarifying admission. Mr Trump does not seek to criminalise hate speech so much as to criminalise speech he hates.The US is being dragged into a state of emergency. Speech is framed as terrorism. Satire is rebranded as enemy propaganda. Employers punish workers for personal posts. The predictable result is a chilling climate of surveillance and reprisal, in which citizens learn to keep quiet. The assassination is not just being used to police manners; it is being used to reconstruct the public square so that dissent equals disloyalty, and...
