Worth noting that Collins, a moral cretin, is also an Air Force Reserve chaplain—has been for decades. He’s a fine example of the sort of chauvinistic zealot the conservative movement worked to fill military chaplaincies with, and now he gets to denigrate vets as Secretary, too.

Bovino is, god willing, going home to spend more time with a bottle of scotch and his service weapon.

Looks like she packed a bag lunch, smart

Third angle shows Alex Pretti yet more clearly deescalating. As goon attacks woman, Pretti tries to shield, pulling his left arm back so it can't be misconstrued as restraint, raising right hand open. Sprayed in face. Turns away, shielding woman; he's swarmed, on knees trying to curl in protection.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

The fist-pump I did when Theweleit used the term 'physically anti-democratic people'. networkcultures.org/geert/2025/0...

He was put in prison and forced to listen to over 300 hangings, before which the prison would sing to soothe the victims. "I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

For more on Cohen, please see my Emmy-nominated film here: www.pbs.org/video/frontl...

There’s something exceptionally wicked about Steve Cohen working to dynamite health care for those of us who served alongside his own son but don’t have billionaire fathers. Dire reporting here, with legislation imminent:

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

The guy who shot Marimar Martinez, which resembles Renee Good's shooting in many ways, shouted "Do something bitch" as he shot her. He is also a weapons instructor.

Alpha News is a far-right site run by the wife of the former head of the Minneapolis police union. Whoever leaked this to them thinks it makes Ross look good. Which is just astonishing.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

shades of viola liuzzo

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

This is the video.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

Access to VA healthcare continues to decline under Trump. Radiology just called to schedule me for an MRI. It is December. They have no openings until March. So they offered to outsource it to the private sector via the Community Care program. This is by design.

This is naive. As I reported years ago in C Street, the chaplaincy even then was overrun by militant fundamentalists. Of course there are wonderful chaplains. But as many of them told me, they're sidelined.

A member of the neo-Nazi white separatist group PNW Wolf Pack fell to his death trying to pick a mistletoe from a tree this holiday season 🎄❄

This article quotes Jason Lee Van Dyke, a self-described fascist who I found participated in a Patriot Front private chat room, to say he is not a member of Patriot Front and to defend Patriot Front's reputation. The article does not mention his fascist beliefs or his participation in the chat room.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

One of the dilemmas of living through the second Trump administration is that saying these things out loud seems crazy. But yeah, the death penalty is an established, well-documented thing we have on the books for precisely these kinds of crimes; they obviously did it; and it's not hard to prove.

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election? And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties. 🧵👇

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

my friend Grace is the woman who stood up to the guy in the Nazi SS uniform in those viral videos youve probably seen- he broke her nose with a beer stein - please share & donate and give her a hand with medical expenses, recovery and potential expenses gofund.me/72cb1a415

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

As gently as I can put it, the Administration is certainly governing as though they do not feel constrained by the US public being the most-armed public in modern history.

these days if you tell me you’re into “wellness” i assume you are too stupid to breathe

accidentally flipped an image and not sure how to fix it
