The leader of the violent neo-Nazi group whose members were the "victims" in this San Diego case was a donor to and supporter of the DA, Summer Stephan, who owes her career to the (literal) neo-Nazi former chairman of the San Diego GOP, Tony Krvaric (whose sons were both Patriot Front recruits).
The War on History: Fighting Back in Bellevue | The (suburban Seattle) college's mural installation depicting the city's history as an immigrant Japanese Community is a long-overdue racial reckoning with our white-supremacist forebears, writes @davidneiwert.bsky.social. READ: tinyurl.com/ytb9256k
A mural on the Bellevue College campus depicting the city’s heritage as an immigrant community became a center of controversy in 2020 when an administrator censored references to the city’s white-supremacist past. Now it’s coming back as a permanent installation.

Bo Gritz died quietly and mostly forgotten last week. But the legacy of his deeply fascist action-hero ethos--especially the militia movement he led, which eventually morphed into MAGA--not only lives on, but now dominates our world.

He also has the ideal Defense secretary.

“In fascist society, everyone is educated to be a hero.” — Umberto Eco
Somewhere in doggy heaven, Cricket is smiling.
Does this remind anyone else of the four hours Trump spent watching the Jan. 6 violence unfold before he called it off and sent in the National Guard?
Trump is clearly hoping that Iran does in fact attack Americans on U.S. soil so that he can have a pretext for declaring martial law.
Noem still inspires them.
The New York Post has the answer: He “broke his own arm.”
Their obsequious mendacity knows no bottom.
So far, none of the headlines deem it worthy of pointing out that he brutally snapped the Marine’s arm.
[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]
A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.
Fwiw, my experience has been that bad websites reflect bad companies and shitty experiences on the ground, and Avis played a key role in that.
So Trump is going to return to the scene of his 2011 humiliation. WHCA dinners were always a fun thing that allowed lesser schlubs to poke fun at presidents to their face, and for the president to return the favor. This however will be a dull affair. No one will dare to make fun of him this time.
What I saw at State of the Swamp so crucial post-Iran

Trump droned on in his State Of Dementia. Threatened, lied, sharted..neurons faded. At State of the Swamp, electricity lightning can’t provide. Joy. Portland frogs

Likewise, in his Atlanta Compromise speech of 1895, Booker T Washington "renounced agitation & protest tactics, and urged blacks to subordinate demands for political and equal rights, and concentrate instead on improving job skills and usefulness through manual labor." nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...
Catherine Beecher is the perfect choice to juxtapose with Charlie Kirk. In the era when American women began advocating for suffrage, Beecher was a prominent anti-suffragist.
Stop repeating the lie. No such authority exists anywhere in the Constitution.
This is (another) attempt to illegally subvert an election. If you’re not calling it out, you’re complicit.
Authoritarians like Trump are always eager to make people forget about the eliminationism and hatred that lurks in their past--because that makes it easier to proceed with their own supremacist project.

I mean, Ellen Weinberg-Hughes, the mother of Jack and Quinn Hughes, was a player development consultant for the women’s team and won a silver medal in the world championships in 1992.
I’d imagine they will have some interesting conversations about all this.
And it doesn’t even matter if Fox News gets it mostly right.

I mean, they just do this automatically and reflexively now.

Two weeks ago I wrote about how MAGA has developed the perverse skill of turning right-wing terrorism acts into left-wing attacks by inverting reality on its head. Today they are doing the same thing woth the Mar A Lago gunman.

And they can post shit like this.
