For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

Texas man accused of plotting Pride parade shooting as revenge for Charlie Kirk Exclusive: ‘Come on bro let’s go hunting fairies,’ Joshua Cole wrote to a friend two days before the Abilene Pride Parade, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Independent

Mostly because you fear that they will know you’re bigoted against them and will respond accordingly.

Heritage Foundation Uses Bogus Stat to Push a Trans Terrorism Classification By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, Heritage promotes a false link between transgender identity and violence in its push for the FBI to create a new terrorism category.

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false:

12/n Anyone who works on terrorism will tell you that coding can be tricky business. Having done a lot of it, I agree. However, this study is not only methodologically flawed, but far more egregiously, presents a *highly* distorted characterization of what is happening right now.

/end.

Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise For the first time in more than 30 years, attacks by the far left outnumber those by the far right.

Since Antifa is now designed as a terrorist organization it will be interesting to see how they determine who is a member and how they prove it is an organization.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

Dear Mr. Cuomo:

Please read this book.

It was an insurrection. They fully intended to stop the counting of votes and install Trump. That was in fact Trump’s plan.

I’m an analyst. When the weight of evidence points to a conclusion, I follow it. There are just too many Groyper calling cards in the evidence here. (Especially with the bullet casings and the Pepe stuff.) Not to mention his familial background and how he was raised.

WTAF.

A. All the rivers in California empty into the Pacific too. It has zero effect on the ability to fight fires.

B. There never has been nor ever will be a workable plan to transport PNW river water to California.

C. What “tiny fish” is being protected? The only fish we protect are salmon.

Alt-right trolls make life miserable for Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA 'Culture War' tour Charlie Kirk’s attempt at creating a young conservative movement, called Turning Point USA, has long had a complicated relationship with the youth-oriented, white nationalist alt-right. This week,

Just a gentle reminder that white-nationalist “Groypers” like Troy Robinson have long plagued Charlie Kirk’s operations because he wasn’t racist, homophobic or antisemitic enough.

I like this piece from 2016 by @davidneiwert.bsky.social

It references the Nazi SA marching song Horst Wessel Leid, and "waving the bloody shirt" in post civil war US.

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

The CDC. The Fed. The FBI. The National Guard. Do you get it now? Trump is waging war against the American government. When he’s done, he’ll use his government to wage war against Americans.

"This is all the same project: attacking the government and re-engineering it to serve as a weapon against the American people. It’s the greatest act of civilizational self-mutilation since the First World War."
