By Way of Plymouth

The throughline of right wing politics is pretending or imagining something grievous is happening to you in order to then make it okay to carry out that made up thing on people you hate.

Been going on since the Haitian Revolution at least.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cell phone while in Minnesota

here's the thing with the 82nd Airborne, white power groups have used it as a recruiting ground. 1) Kai Liam Nix tried to recruit for Patriot Front within it, claimed he was successful. 2) In 1995, investigators revealed 22 members of the 82nd were in

Video of officers abusing their power and hurting people can really matter. Video is a big part of why the police killing of George Floyd was the BLM case that provoked the biggest public reaction.
When people see violent abuse, they’re forced to confront it more. Not seeing makes it easier to deny.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

ICE agents pull man from car in front of middle school students - Plymouth Independent Plymouth public school bus #8 was stopped on Standish Avenue, at the intersection of Cherry Street, shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday when the middle school students aboard it got an eyewitness view of U....

“As the children looked on, they watched ICE officials pull a distraught man out of his car. The students, who were bound for #Plymouth Community Intermediate School, were left aghast, as was the bus driver.”

If you send in the military and hundreds of DHS agents every time there's ten people outside an ICE facility protesting, you're going to exhaust your operational capacity and destroy morale fairly quickly.

Screenshot of flyer and link to Google doc.

Right-wing media claiming that flyers for the "John Brown Club" were put up at the Georgetown university campus. The flyers were first reported by local Republican organizers and only feature a QR code which goes to a Google doc.

Seems likely that this a right-wing troll and doxx/disinfo campaign.

A guy ran into a classroom at the University of Washington threw up Nazi salutes, yelled a bunch of slurs, then roughly 30 students chased him down, got him arrested.

TGI(stfu)F. Learn the script.

Stephen Farrea of NSC-131 did have to lose a lot to get that 5 years of probation. His marriage, his home (just last month, to his ex-wife), one of his rental properties looks like, probably a LOT of his social circle. He's not walking away easy.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside Chicago—

Federal agents have kidnapped hundreds of immigrants in recent weeks.

Outside the ICE processing center here, protesters are gathered for another Friday morning demo. Last week's ended in tear gas and arrests.

ICE vans periodically rolling in.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours.

'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

funny ("ha ha") or funny (weird)?

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

donuts on fishing rods?! send in the marines!

‘Hell on earth’: immigrants held in new California detention facility beg for help Six people at a remote Ice facility in California City describe medical problems and filthy conditions, which operator CoreCivic denies

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff.

“This place is built to break us”

having gone to war with every other nation in the world, the united states military is declaring war on the united states, like those fighting games where you have to fight your mirror character

What they want is Dems to join them in dabbling their fingers in the blood.

There are absolutely no circumstances under which anybody loyal to the Constitution should vote to fund a government controlled by Donald Trump. They are covering their own asses by demanding that line not be clearly drawn.

this loser again

Thank you!

NEW from LCRW: Rotting trash, the Westboro Baptist Church and heat exhaustion. @azrww.bsky.social and our staff report back from Charlie Kirk's Horst Wesselization Ceremony last Sunday as Trump prepares crackdowns on antifascists and everyone else he doesn't like in Kirk's name.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

Excellent commentary on Ezra Klein, reactionary centrism, and accommodation with domestic and Israeli fascism. From TMR. youtu.be/wbG43oyz4Mc?...

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

the GOP is encountering the core strategic problem with their efforts to create a society where a lot of people have grown blandly accustomed to seeing horrific imagery of kids and adults getting shot on social media all the time

How can 17 people face charges for the alleged actions of a single shooter? How can an officer sustain shots from a rifle to the neck and torso and be released from the hospital in 24 hours? Are anarchist zines evidence of a plan to commit an ambush?

There are many questions still unanswered.

the thing about Republicans trying to manufacture consensus for mass crackdowns on leftists based on allegedly left-wing violence is that everyone in the entire world can see that they don't actually care about violence when it happens

YOU try doctoring crime scene evidence in a hurry with only the items you have on you and let's see how good of a job you do, alright?

Inside Return to the Land ‘whites-only’ community in Arkansas A group of white nationalists attempt to build a white separatist neighborhood on 160 acres — an outright attack on the Fair Housing Act.

We looked into the history of white supremacist compound building in the U.S. to put Return to the Land's efforts in Arkansas into perspective.
