It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!

A photo of LBJ next to the quote: “I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” —Lyndon B. Johnson

Reminder: THIS is why the GOP created the culture wars.

The goal isn’t immediate, personal, material benefit. The goal is white Christian nationalism.

This is how the GOP gets people to vote for them even when they screw their voters over.

I’d add to this quote for the 21st century-

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Even though I don’t think Kimmel is very popular within the BlueSky Cinematic Universe, he is extremely popular, and I don’t think the administration is prepared for the response when you fuck with people’s favorite TV shows.

My God, we nearly had a civil war when Felicity cut her hair.

Tax rises in, two-child limit out: what Resolution Foundation’s boss is urging Reeves before budget Pensions triple lock should also go, says Ruth Curtice, a former civil servant who says it’s ‘nice to be allowed to say what you think’

"I don't care that he's dead."
"He's not a hero."
"He's a scumbag."
"He shouldn't be celebrated."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

for the moment the (un)civil war has broken out between Hard Maga and Hard Hard Maga.

let's see how that unfolds.

Since 2016 no EU country has chosen to leave the EU

Instead, three countries are trying to join the EU: Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia

It has to be the most British thing to be leaving the thing that others are trying to join, including the nation at the forefront fighting for its sovereignty,Ukraine 🤷‍♂️

Ted Cruz photo op.

Again, I need to point out that Jessica Watkins, a former Oath Keeper leader who rioted at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 is a transgender woman whose sentence was commuted by Trump. Stop assuming that someone is a wild lefty just because they're trans.

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements

Channel 4 to mark Trump's state visit by dissecting more than 100 of his lies, in what the channel describes as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

So … Donald Trump had dinner with Nick Fuentes who inspired Tyler Robinson who shot Charlie Kirk who supported Donald Trump.

Bloody lefties.

FBI director draws criticism from the right over handling of Kirk shooting Right-wing online influencers — some of whom helped propel Kash Patel to FBI director less than a year ago — are now questioning whether he should continue leading the agency.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

1. Azerbaijan hasn't been at war with Albania. Trump confuses Albania with Armenia. But he wants credit, a Nobel Prize, for ending a war in which he can't identify the parties.
2. The Fox hosts are too ignorant or too sycophantic to correct him.
3. Imagine if Biden had said this.

Nick Fuentes: A White Nationalist Problem for the Right

This is a good time to re-read the NYT’s profile of Nick Fuentes from last week and the far-right anti-Semitic, deeply racist “groyper” movement that appears to have motivated Tyler Robinson. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

To people in the UK the Charlie Kirk press coverage is like the death of Diana except you'd never heard of her before and knew nothing about her and when you did find out more she sounded like a genuinely terrible person.
