The Washington Post was ordered on Aug. 24 to reinstate columnist Karen Attiah, who was fired over social media posts she wrote in the aftermath of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Kirk was shot dead last September on a Utah college campus, sparking a wave of grief among conservatives and threats of a clampdown on the “radical left” from President Donald Trump.
