Republicans Have a Real Nazi Thing Going On A swastika was found in a GOP congressman’s D.C. office soon after the Young Republicans’ “I love Hitler” Telegram leak.

As Republicans are finding ways to push the Trump agenda through Congress during the government shutdown, they are finding themselves sidetracked by an annoying and difficult image problem. Some of their young staffers seem to be obsessed with Nazis — and not in a “Nazis are bad” way.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

I have no idea where they're hearing this stuff. These are normies we are irl friends with, not very online people, and idk where they get info. I think some of it is just hazy recollections of how small amounts of looting/rioting coincided with BLM here in 2020 bsky.app/profile/levi...

"grandma bloc" is def a vibe at these, for better or worse (i think mostly better). Not most of the protesters by any means but def over-represented. A lot of older ladies in our community really fucking hate Trump! bsky.app/profile/maea...

I've talked to many people here in San Diego who have progressive politics but were discouraged from participating in the last two rallies because they think they are dangerous black bloc riots.

At the last one I took my four year old kid who was a big hit among the many 70 year old ladies

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

Thoughts on this:

"Not Guilty" A not-at-all-subtle reminder to Trump that he's just the president — and that means his power is limited. And: The Seventh Circuit keeps troop deployment blocked in Illinois.

In retrospect, perhaps trusting all of the government's systems and data to Elon Musk and his band of 20-year-old cybercriminals was not the smartest move.

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Retes was held for three days without being given an opportunity to make a call. His family only learned where he had been after his release. His leg had been cut from the broken glass, Retes told ProPublica, and lingering pepper spray burned his hands.He tried to soothe them by filling sandwich bags with water.
Retes recalled that agents knew he was a citizen. "They didn't care." He said one DHS official laughed at him, saying he shouldn't have come to work that day. "They still sent me away to jail." He added that cases like his show Kavanaugh was "wrong completely.

The moderate position here is that no current ICE agent should ever be allowed to work for the government again

even if this were somehow true — which it *emphatically* is not — you’re telling me this aide has not been on a single teams call, where it would have been noticed, all year?

honestly the bit right afterwhere he's like 'so why did you chose the DSA over the Democratic Party' and Mamdani is like ... "I didn't? I'm in both?' is even funnier

There's the academic terms, and they matter, absolutely, and then there's the public discourse, where if you have twelve people drinking and laughing with the unrepentant Nazi you have thirteen Nazis.

The thing about Nazis is their speech is all hate speech, all of it, not free speech, because Nazism is predicated on violence and contemporary Nazism is predicated on knowing about genocide and approving of it and wanting to do it again.
