Days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, another act of political violence occurred at an ICE detention center in Dallas, Texas, underscoring the crisis that the United States is currently facing. Political violence in America is no longer an aberration; instead, it has developed into a pattern that continues to affect individuals and plague communities throughout the country. The shootings of Charlie Kirk and at the Dallas ICE facility are not isolated events—they are symptoms of a nation at risk of accepting violence as a legitimate form of political expression. The choice before us is stark—either we recommit to free speech, while finding the courage to forgive and unify, or we allow the extremes to define America’s future, a development we risk at our own peril.
