POLITICS UC Berkeley provides Trump administration list of 160 names in antisemitism investigation ByCornell Barnard KGO logo Friday, September 12, 2025 10:53PM UC Berkeley provides list of names in antisemitism investigation UC Berkeley is providing the Trump administration with a list of names and their potential connection to reports of alleged antisemitism on campus. BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- In the East Bay, UC Berkeley is providing the Trump administration with the names of more than 100 students, faculty and staff, about their potential connection to reports of alleged antisemitism on campus. The investigation by U.S. Department of Education and office of Civil Rights is one of many federal probes targeting universities across the country. "I think I was a bit startled by it, somewhat flummoxed," said Daniel Solomon. UC Berkeley graduate student Daniel Solomon said he was surprised recently when he got this email from the university's office of legal affairs, which said in part: "Your name was included in reports as part of the documents provided by the office of general council (OGC) to the office of civil rights (OCR) for its investigation. These documents contained information about reports or responses related to alleged antisemitic incidents." "I think I was part of the email list, because I have been a vocal opponent of what I call the 'Campus Antisemitic Movement,' which is called the 'Palestine Solidarity Movement,' so I imagine some of that landed on the radar of investigators," Solomon said.

I'm a statement, a university spokesperson said: "Last week, we issued notices to individuals whose names were included in the documents. We are committed to transparency and supporting our campus community while complying with federal investigations." The Trump administration believes school officials nationwide are doing little to stop discrimination against Jewish students. UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine took to Instagram this week, posting: "It is obvious that the department of education and UC Berkeley are using the very office meant to protect civil rights as a trojan horse to silence anyone who condemns the genocide of the Palestinian people."

"AJC research has shown 40% of American Jews 18 to 29 have been the target of antisemitism in the last year, and moreover college students, 35% of them report experiencing antisemitism at least one time on a college campus," said Seth Brysk from American Jewish Committee. It's unclear where the federal probe will go, and what consequences it may bring.

US News Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson ‘deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,’ Utah gov says By Josh Christenson Published Sep. 13, 2025 Updated Sep. 13, 2025, 1:48 p.m. ET 2.1K Comments 1/2 The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard WASHINGTON — Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” a preliminary investigation revealed according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. Cox noted that Robinson’s political leanings had since become “very clear to us and to the investigators” in an interview with The Wall Street Journal — after Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday at Utah Valley University. At a recent family dinner, Robinson had mused over the conservative activist’s first stop of his American Comeback tour at the Orem campus, which was about a three hour drive from the alleged sniper’s home.

Moments before he was struck with a single bullet in the neck, the father of two young kids had been answering a question about mass shootings carried out by transgender people.

Robinson’s roommate also presented Discord messages from a contact named “Tyler” that discussed the need to retrieve a rifle. The alleged murderer’s Mauser model 98 bolt-action rifle with a scope mounted on it was found in a wooded area not far from the Utah university.

Erika Kirk The accused killer attended a Mormon church “when he was younger,” a neighbor who knew the Robinson family told The Post Friday. His parents — Matt Robinson and Amber Jones Robinson — have been identified as registered Republicans. “I just know them as very good people,” Alanea Shaw told Fox 13 Salt Lake City of the Robinson family. “They are quiet and kind of keep to themselves a lot, but whenever I’ve needed anything, they’ve been able to come over and help, very graciously and kindly.” Robinson, 22, had received a scholarship to attend Utah State after having gotten top marks on his ACT exam and a perfect GPA, the Journal reported. At age 15, he had apparently developed enough online literacy to have dressed up as “some guy from a meme” for Halloween, according to posts on Facebook from his mother.

Ghoulish liberals appallingly celebrated Kirk’s assassination, while even some Democratic lawmakers and officials blamed the conservative and Trump’s MAGA movement for the bloodshed.

Charlie Kirk Shooter’s Connection to Nick Fuentes, Explained Buzz Was Tyler Robinson a Groyper? Charlie Kirk Shooter’s Connection to Nick Fuentes, Explained Last updated: September 13, 2025 3:49 am By Shreeyantra Rai 6 Min Read Share Tyler Robinson: Groyper, Nick Fuentes | Charlie Kirk Shooter The recent arrest of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, has ignited a firestorm of speculation, misinformation, and intense scrutiny into the dark corners of online political subcultures. While initial assumptions pointed to left-wing extremism, a deeper look into Robinson’s digital footprint and the cryptic evidence he left behind suggests a far more complex and ambiguous picture. The emerging details reveal a young man steeped in the ironic, meme-saturated world of far-right internet factions, particularly the chaotic and often misunderstood realm of the “Groyper” movement led by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Contents The Groyper Connection and a Fractured Far-Right The Dangers of Online Radicalization and Ironic Extremism The bizarre inscriptions engraved on the bullet casings found at the scene read like a cryptic scroll from the depths of internet forum culture. One read, “Hey fascist! Catch!” accompanied by arrow symbols, a possible reference to the popular video game Helldivers 2, where players use that exact command to call in a satirical, anti-fascist bomb strike. Another casing featured the phrase “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?”—a nod to an old meme from furry subculture often used to troll online. A third made a juvenile jab: “If you read this, you are gay lmao.” Perhaps most tellingly, one was inscribed with the lyrics “Bella Ciao,” an Italian anti-fascist folk song. These clues point not to a coherent ideology but to an “extremely online” individual communicating in a language of inside jokes, video game references, and ironic provocation. The Groyper Connection and a Fractured Far-Right This is where the figure of Nick Fuentes and his “Groyper Army” enters the picture. Groypers are an online-based far-right movement known for their virulently antisemitic, racist, and homophobic views, often hidden behind layers of irony and meme warfare. Their name comes from a cartoon frog variant, and they have long been engaged in internal conservative battles, especially the 2019 “Groyper Wars,” where they aggressively disrupted events held by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA. They accused Kirk of being a “gatekeeper” of establishment conservatism—too moderate and insufficiently radical in his white nationalist and anti-LGBTQ stance. While there is no clear evidence yet that Tyler Robinson was a formal member of Fuentes’ community, a Facebook photo suggests he engaged with Groyper memes. This has fueled speculation that the killing could be a violent eruption of these long-simmering intra-far-right conflicts. Fuentes himself initially expressed devastation over Kirk’s death and called for unity, but his followers have long viewed Kirk as an enemy. Robinson’s own family noted he had grown “more political” in recent years, and during a dinner conversation before the shooting, he and relatives discussed their dislike for Kirk, whom they believed was “full of hate and spreading hate.” More Read Did Zelensky Campaign for Kamala Harris?

Nicole Collier Locked in Chamber as Democrats Clash With Republicans Over Police Escorts The Dangers of Online Radicalization and Ironic Extremism The case of Tyler Robinson underlines a troubling trend: the blurring line between online trolling and real-world violence. Modern extremist movements, particularly on the far-right, often operate in a post-truth space where beliefs are cloaked in irony. This allows participants to deny serious intent while still spreading harmful ideologies. Robinson’s engraved bullet casings, a mix of anti-fascist song lyrics, video game commands, and offensive memes, epitomize this chaotic aesthetic. They are less a manifesto and more a performance meant to confuse, provoke, and signal membership in a digital subculture that thrives on antagonism. The digital aspect of the investigation further highlights this. Authorities initially pointed to messages on Discord discussing retrieving a rifle and engraving bullets, though the platform later disputed that the planning happened on its service. Regardless, Robinson’s behavior reflects a generation that communicates through a lexicon of inside jokes and references entirely foreign to those outside their online ecosystems. This doesn’t make the violence less serious; instead, it reveals how online radicalization can lead to deadly real-world consequences, even when the ideology seems inconsistent or ironic.
