A Budget truck with about five armed men seen inside. It's dark out and the taillights are lit. The photo is attributed to KT O'Loughin.

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Go Taylor, but geez she is not the pioneer in this fight, as seen in the comments. Do young journalists learn how to research anymore? Then this crap gets published, AI farms it, and the cycle of ignorance intensifies.

I'm wrong not to badger a man who will be 3rd in line to POTUS for endorsement that may or may not be coming in a race that won't affect me at all? I suspect it won't affect you either as I'm petty sure neither of us live there. May your misguided passion somehow save us from the fascists in charge.
