One year ago today. The man is gone; the argument he started is still standing in every campus hall. #Kirkiversary

A note on this day
On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was killed while doing the thing he had done thousands of times: standing in front of a crowd and taking their questions. One year on, the grief has not gone anywhere. Neither has the work.
“PROVE ME WRONG.”
A life & a legacy

Watching his old debate clips with my students today. He still makes them think before they speak. #Kirkiversary

Candle on the windowsill tonight. For Erika, for his kids, for everyone who kept showing up after. #Kirkiversary

Our chapter is holding a moment of silence at noon, then we're doing what he'd actually want — we're taking questions. #Kirkiversary

Flags at half-staff in three states this morning. A year on, still hard to type the date. #Kirkiversary

First time I ever disagreed with someone out loud in public was at one of his tables. Changed my whole life. #Kirkiversary
