✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends
1) Charlie Kirk Assassination Sparks FBI Manhunt and Political Tensions

The assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has become the week’s biggest story. Kirk was killed by a single shot from a rooftop during his “Prove Me Wrong” debate at Utah Valley University on Sept 11. The FBI released surveillance footage of a suspected shooter and posted a $100,000 reward. Authorities found cartridges with “transgender and anti-fascist” writing (unclear if authentic or misdirection). President Trump ordered flags at half-staff and plans to award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The story’s velocity comes from the mix of political violence, mystery, and intense partisan reaction. The suspect may have crossed state lines; a nationwide manhunt is underway. VP JD Vance flew Kirk’s body to Arizona on Air Force Two as tributes and theories flood every platform. Expect rolling updates and hot takes throughout the day.

2) Nepal’s Gen Z Revolution Topples Government & Burns Parliament


What began as social media activism against corrupt politicians’ kids flaunting wealth (#nepokids) exploded after police killed 19 protesters on Sept 8. Demonstrators stormed and burned the Parliament and Supreme Court; PM K.P. Sharma Oli resigned on Sept 9. The death toll is 51, with 12,500+ prisoners escaped amid the chaos. The military is enforcing curfew; former Chief Justice Sushila Karki is floated as interim PM.
It’s viral because it shows decentralized, leaderless Gen Z power translating from the feed to the street. Visuals are dramatic; stakes are national. Parallels to other youth-led movements (Bangladesh, etc.) make it globally relevant.
