He has zero qualification and 1000 🚩🚩🚩 but he’s a white dude so they’ll throw out the entire party of qualified to accommodate the creepers as long as they’re antisemites, racists and misogynists ..

Dem Senate candidate backtracks on apology for 'Nazi skull' tattoo In an interview this week, Graham Platner started to push back instead, defending the tattoo as merely a 'skull-and-crossbones' and 'an eminently reasonable thing'.

Hes embolded. I wonder why. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Fuck Platner & at this point fuck the people who still support him, you're supporting a groyper cosplaying as a reformed bigot.

If he got the nomination, I would actively support and promote a third-party candidate before I would support or vote for a filthy fucking Nazi ape. Fuck Platner to Hell.

We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

❗️According to Zelenskyy, Middle Eastern countries used more than 800 Patriot missiles during the initial attacks over a period of 24–36 hours — which is more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire war.

The lawyers are likely correct that Carr would lose this in court. They were also likely correct that Trump would lose his lawsuits against ABC and CBS -- but their corporate owners (with much deeper pockets to fight than a local station) folded instead. That’s the real threat.

We have been complete idiots for not doing enough to help Ukraine over the last four years.

The longer we wait to act, the more expensive and deadly this will become.

It is not too late to fix this, but we desperately need to step up right now

Our population & size is ~equivalent to continental Europe, but too many folks don't really conceptualize the implication of that. But b/c of it, having one big overarching government means taking control of just a few levers of power with a few people in the right places is a nationwide takeover.

It's also worth noting we experience it at scale in USA, whereas that same % in EU countries' populations amounts to relatively much smaller number of actual people to carry out fascism, it is split b/w countries & has no collective power across the EU population. Scaling matters in this.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."

This thread -- & the thread it links to, & @jamellebouie.net's original insight -- are super-important to understand. To the average Ivy-educated, DC-centric journalist, the MAGA base is almost entirely theoretical. They don't know any genuine MAGAts, they just construct a Noble Savage imaginary.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

Details about ICE surveillance tools & arrest goals in Oregon have come to light in a federal lawsuit that compelled officers to answer questions under oath, offering a rare window into the opaque, internal strategies driving mass detentions & chaotic raids.

No pay wall.
