I am devastated about Laura and Mike being gone. I once commented on Laura's blog when she wrote something about Lynx and Lamb Gaede. I was friendly, but she was surprised and asked DLJ about me. He told her I was mostly harmless and she created a fake account to monitor me on Facebook for years.

I've sort of been at a loss for words the past two days, so I'm going to let Jared's thread on Laura here speak for itself. Her work came out of a genuine and heartfelt place. She wanted the world to be a better place and was willing to fight for it. That vision cost her a lot, but she clung to it.

I wonder if this is Stormfront's last year. It has been down almost as long as it has been up. Most of the admins and senior mods are dead now. Don's daughter transitioned and left a while back. No more Stormfront show on Rense Radio to suck money out of the elderly. Dwindling sustaining membership

You don't even know how cathartic it will be for me when Stormfront shuts down for the last time. I couldn't do what I do now if I hadn't been what I was... but... it will be freeing... in a way.

Rest in Power, Laura and Mike... you helped make me a real human.

Laura & Mike were there for me very early on, supporting me when this was just a one person blog. LCRW wouldn’t be what it is without them. I miss them terribly

The world has lost a truly great and beautiful soul. Never forget the comrades we’ve lost, and fight like hell for those still with us. Rest in power Laura🖤

Rest in Power to Laura Sennett, a longtime photojournalist and antiracist activist with @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social who spend decades documenting, tracking, and countering the racist far-right. Knowing her was a blessing, and her memory will carry on with all of those she spent her life helping.

According to this guy, because I laughed at some centrist conspiracy theorists with some friends over the years, I'm guilty of criminal conspiracy. I just can't convey how removed from reality these StewAnon folks are, & I study people who think Jesus was an alien.

Alex Jones claims that he's not lashing out at Trump for calling him out recently, between segments of over-exaggerating how Melania's Epstein statements contradict Donald and claiming that his insider sources say that they are essentially separated but are still married for some legal reasons.

There’s a lot that frankly frustrates me about the left falling for conspiracy theories like this but the worst is how these folks who think they care about others actually target innocent people. This story might have one of the most egregious examples I’ve covered. www.ms.now/news/sascha-...

If you're familiar w the Eddie Gallagher war crimes story, then you'll understand that this Patriot Front ID is a whopper of a scoop.

Trump went on Alex Jones's show in 2015 -- years after Jones was castigated for claiming Sandy Hook was "staged" -- and told the host, "Your reputation's amazing. I will not let you down.” Only now does Trump say the Sandy Hook attacks were "horrendous." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

THURSDAY ART SHOW! If you are a working artist (i.e. you depend on income from your art) just respond to this post with your non-pornographic, non-violent, non-Al generated CAT-RELATED art/ crafts and I will repost! From now until 8:00 pm EST. Include any relevant links like your website or etsy!

On the same day Trump calling Alex Jones a bankrupt has-been (which, in fairness, is true), Jones said Trump's erratic behavior is due to being hexed by witches. Alex is also now calling himself a "battle axe for the Lord."

Congratulations to my two favorite “formers” and to the filmmakers. Looking forward to seeing this.

American Protestantism is really something else. The Pope is like “God doesn’t want us to invoke his name when we kill people” and Franklin Graham is like “God loves it when our powerful leaders hulk smash the evildoers you woke fool.”

Since the New Deal, the right edge of the conservative movement has been committed to the goal of eliminating all facets of the federal government that do good in the world, leaving behind only a war machine and a surveillance operation capable of containing the “internal leftist enemy.”

The Conspiracists - London Conversations is a week-long series of cinema screenings and Q&As across London, April 21–28. A look at conspiracy thinking and what it says about trust, power, and democratic life. Info+Tix: tr.ee/GUTyFPCL2h

This interaction cracks me up to this day

I'm really excited about this. I'll be writing for TPM about conspiracy theories, their role in modern politics and culture, and what we can do about it.

I need help finding a short story from the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, probably 30 years ago. A post-apocalyptic world where racecar drivers bind demons into their cars to act as the engine. A key part is that the steering wheel is covered in runes, with gaps at 10 and 2 for your hands.

For folks in the Salem, OR area...I'm giving a talk tonight at 7:00 on The History of Fascism in the US from the 1920s to the Present. It's sponsored by Progressive Salem and will be at 245 High St. NE. It's free and open to all.

The most important part of this story isn’t being reported. Without it, voters cannot understand what this means or how dangerous Bianco’s actions are to democratic norms. open.substack.com/pub/noelleco...

Take advantage of No Kings! Print some zines, pass out flyers, pass out guides. People are primed for change, hand them the tools they need.

Last month @404media.co posted the PDF for their very cool zine about ICE surveillance technology. We loved it, but didn't have a riso printer—so in true distroist spirit, we downloaded the file, remixed it for b&w production, and now we offer it to you! archive.org/details/404-...

I finished listening to this today and highly recommend it.

This is so insane and unacceptable that I had to check Truth Social to make sure it was real. It was.

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

I’ll be in London this April for screenings of The Conspiracists, each followed by a Q&A with director Liz Smith and me. If you’re in the area, details are in the link. Prefer to start with the book? The Conspiracists is available in the U.K. from your bookseller of choice. tr.ee/GUTyFPCL2h

“Just we two” Postcard from my collection, mailed 1909. This is by C.E. Bullard, my favorite of the Victorian/Edwardian cat photographers. He seemed to genuinely love cats and didn't restrain them or cram them into tiny costumes.

Why would you need to check someone's ID in order to have a child with them....oh.....oh my.

I’m sorry, but it’s suspicious when you ask for receipts of expenses for a public gofundme and Jim Stewartson and Heidi Cuda’s podcast partner, Josh Fidel “HiFi” responds with allegations and threats. Why don’t they show receipts and why did they create a 501(c)4?

Debating on Twitter is really sad at this point. As soon as you counter some right-winger's misguided points, you get the reply: "Grok, is this true?"
