Rootless Suburbian

Bannon knows that deploying ICE to the polls constitutes illegal voter intimidation. So why is he encouraging Trump to break the law? Because he also knows this threat will work to suppress votes even if federal agents never get anywhere near the polls. The fear of ICE is enough to keep people home.

Ok that's it, I'm sick of this shit

Stop beefing about Stancil. Stop beefing about (different anti-Trump camp you have entirely justified reasons to hate).

The only reward of all this is the laughter of our enemies, to quote Gandalf, and the illusion of agency from displacing your anxiety.

My husband once tried to shoo a turkey out of the road and almost got his ass beat. I hope they're there for ICE.

Sally Draper is old enough to lead a romantic comedy.

It would kill the voters too fast.

I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot bsky.app/profile/marc...

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

There aren't enough ICE agents to actually do this, but I think they're going for a chilling effect to reduce turnout. ICE needs to be abolished or at least unfunded so they starve before election day.

Oy

Jeffrey Epstein was a monster. His crimes were real. His victims deserve justice and are being revictimized right now by the DOJ.

Turning his private emails into proof of a Jewish conspiracy is pure antisemitism. And it is spreading faster than anyone is willing to say.

New Report Exposes X/Twitter as One of the Most Dangerous Vehicles in History for Spreading Antisemitism - Jewish Council for Public Affairs As antisemitic conspiracies fuel anti-Jewish hate across social media and cause real-world harm, a new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and the Jewish Council for Public Affai...

The infrastructure of X, which our friends at @thejcpa.bsky.social and @counterhate.com have documented as the primary engine of antisemitism online, does exactly what it was built to do: amplify & reward this content.

Where are the apologies from all the people who defended Miller?

Screenshot of a post by Briahna Joy Gray stating that mainstream media is ignoring what she describes as “Jewish supremacy” in documents related to the Epstein files, contrasting this with how media would respond to white supremacist content. The post includes a quoted post from an account named “ADAM,” which summarizes a 2017 email attributed to a woman named Masha Drokova. The quoted text claims that Epstein should work only with genetically tested Jews and associates Jewish ancestry with intelligence, including a statement saying Epstein was “98% Jew.” Below the quoted post is a screenshot of an email dated December 30, 2017, containing statements linking percentages of Jewish ancestry to intelligence and suggesting genetic testing. Engagement metrics show over one million views, with thousands of likes, reposts, and comments.

This framing seems to be driven by the far right. But it's also being spread by some left wing influencers.

Briahna Joy Gray, former national press secretary for Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, shared the Drokova email with her own commentary.

Screenshot of a post from an account called “Goyim Bureau of Investigation,” labeled as a parody account. The post shows a two panel meme using a man standing at a whiteboard. In the first panel, text on the board reads “The world is run by Jewish pedophiles.” In the second panel, the text reads “We need to do more than just post edgy memes. It’s time for physical removal.” The figure’s face is replaced with a skull-like cartoon with glowing red eyes and a black helmet bearing a fascist-style symbol. The post includes engagement metrics showing over 100,000 views.

Screenshot of a tweet by David Miller stating that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad superspy and referring to a so-called “Jewish Empire.” The tweet claims that media institutions protect Jewish power and compares mainstream media unfavorably to online influencers. Below the tweet is an embedded post from “Sneako Updates” showing a paused video clip from Piers Morgan Uncensored, with multiple commentators on screen and Sneako appearing in a smaller window.

THREAD 🧵:

The Epstein files are real. The antisemitism they're fueling is also real.

And right now, the second part is getting almost no attention.

There’s a real tendency to lose sight of the distinction between “won’t solve the entire problem” and “doesn’t accomplish anything”

Shit. I've been to Merrimack dozens of times. My wife had family who lived there.

Crypto is and always has been for suckers and criminals. The suckers are finally waking up to the fact they've been played.

“The corporate takeover of media is a threat to our democracy & the delivery of the truth to the American people.”

Really nails the Bari Weiss Contrarian Pundit Complex:

Rather than admit to a mistake, cry "cancel culture" and elevate inexcusable people, then call yourself a hero for "standing up to the woke mob."

This is my thing, yes criticize Dems and call them. But run your Republican Congress critters ragged right now. Make it impossible for them to have a moment of peace.

The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.

this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us

for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did

institutions shouldn’t live or did at one man’s whim

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

Trump's campaign manager credited James Comey putting his thumb on the scale for his 2016 "win."

Trump had massive illegal intervention from Russia in 2016 and 2024.

Now Trump wants to steal the vote by nationalizing voting.

The GOP knows their agenda is a failure and they can't win a fair fight.

Tear it down.

Vive La France!

He's a fucking idiot.

I think a lot of people need to listen to Tom Lehrer's "The Folk Song Army."

If he were Pinocchio his nose would reach past Pluto by now.
