The article that keeps on giving:

the trump administration is taking a lot of inspiration from nazi propaganda. my new video looks at some of the most egregious examples from their feeds—and I think it's helping prime everyday people to cheer on even more awful things.

The US government won't stop sharing Nazi propaganda.

This past year, official social media accounts from the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and other government agencies have adopted a distinct voice online. But if you look closer, a pattern emerges.

Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections After the FBI seized 700 boxes of ballots in Georgia, the president calls on Republicans to assert control over voting "in at least 15 places.”

Totally normal headline you see every day in functioning democracies around the world…

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. "This is redemption."

Rob has been the only Evangelical I’ve run into who has been actively in the streets to witness, pray, and be a body on the frontline in the streets of Minneapolis.

Hard to say how many showed up for Alex Pretti’s vigil, but easily hundreds if not thousands. After community activists and leaders spoke at the park where they gathered, everyone marched to the site of Pretti’s killing. Streets just filled with people demanding ICE out.

Minneapolis has a song just for Kristi Noem.

“If Minnesota falls, everything falls. We’re done as a nation.”

Fury. Grief. Anguish. Locals on the frontlines of Trump’s attack on Minneapolis are speaking out following the killing of another one of their neighbors. We’re on the ground with @samveep.bsky.social tracking the aftermath.

"It's a horror show": Anguish sweeps Minneapolis after federal agents kill another neighbor. We're on the ground covering the aftermath.

Our @samveep.bsky.social is at the scene where 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Read his heartbreaking dispatch from on the ground.

“We’re furious that our neighbors are getting kidnapped and murdered in the streets,” a protester named John told me. “This is supposed to be America, the land of the free, and this is not freedom.”

I spoke Minnesotans who showed up where Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents:

From Clay: Appreciate the impulse to help the person in the video but would really like to uplift the good side of what’s happening in the cities right now and the infinite ways we are showing up for each other instead of just sharing all of the violence.

Here’s the link they shared:

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial.

But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders.

From me today in Minneapolis:

Hey Will! Our video team at @motherjones.com would love to get access to this, if you’re open and willing!

the protect the children crowd is real quiet

New video from our team shows a horrifying ICE attack on a woman who says she is disabled and was just trying to get to her doctor's appointment.

Supreme Court battle over trans athletes is about so much more than sports "It's just one part of a plan to push transgender people like me out of the public life entirely."

The high schooler at the heart of the current case knows that the battle at the court is about much more than whether she can play track and field with her friends.

“It’s just one part of a plan to push transgender people like me out of the public life entirely.”

In the aftermath of the ICE killing of Renée Good, Trump's admin smeared her as a “domestic terrorist." That’s despite video evidence to the contrary. Today, we joined the Manhattan thong for one of many dozens of protests held around the country this weekend. We asked protesters: What did you see?

Grok deepfaked Renee Nicole Good's body into a bikini Hours after an ICE agent killed the mother of three, Elon Musk’s chatbot was undressing her.

A disgusting development in the story of the aftermath of Renee Good’s death.

From @katieherchenroeder.bsky.social:
Grok unhesitatingly fulfilled a user’s request on Wednesday to generate an image of Renee Good in a bikini—the woman who was killed by an ICE agent that morning in Minneapolis.

Grok unhesitatingly fulfilled an X user’s request to put a bikini onto the body of ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Good.

The chatbot, launched by Elon Musk, has been making deepfakes of a lot of other women, too.

shocker: there's a trump-supporting billionaire who could make a shit ton of money off of the attack on venezuela

Billionaire hedge funder Paul Singer, whose firm acquired oil giant Citgo at a bargain price, has much to gain from Nicolás Maduro’s ouster.

On Fox News Saturday, Trump made clear that one of the motivations for Saturday’s attack was to increase the production and export of Venezuelan oil.
