We Should Be Able to Disagree Without Killing Each Other

The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University — condemned across the political spectrum —underscores a terrifying reality: political violence is on the rise in America. And it is not confined to one ideology or party. Just weeks ago, Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was also killed — another public servant targeted in an environment poisoned by threats, intimidation, and rage.

This is not a partisan problem. It is a life-or-death problem. The media has a duty to cover these killings with moral clarity, condemning violence wherever it happens, and refusing to reduce it to partisan point-scoring. Finger-pointing does nothing but escalate divisiveness in what should be a moment of unity.

Add your name to demand the media treat political violence as the national emergency it is — before more lives are lost.
