A year after the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, its social and political aftershocks continue. Some people who lost their jobs over social media posts about Kirk's killing have won large settlements from employers, while others have had to rebuild their careers from scratch.

The continued coverage reflects how the case remains a flashpoint for debates over free speech, employment retaliation, and political polarization in the US a year on from the killing.
