whoa

i hate it here. "Years later, Loomer’s three-part campaign programme became official government policy."

Great article from @hannahgais.bsky.social

No no no. Leftists should endorse Susan Collins.

This week, we lost Laura Sullivan of @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social, an incredible pillar of antifascism. Laura was one of the first people to reach out & believed in me. LCRW is still here because of her. Featuring comment by @dlj.bsky.social, @jaredlholt.bsky.social, & @mxscottkernest.bsky.social

laura loomer mattering at all to anyone is one of the most humiliating things that could've happened to the american government. i bet she's as surprised as anyone by this turn of events.

For @theipaper.com, I tried to explain why we live in a world where Laura Loomer is still a thing. inews.co.uk/opinion/pro-...

The Sullivans, Much Love and Rest in Peace We lost Mike Sullivan in 2024 and Laura Sullivan yesterday. We want to remember what they gave us when they were here. This one hurts.

In Laura's memory, please take some time today to check out @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social, founded by @dlj.bsky.social -- a criminally under-appreciated organizer in the fight against hate. OPP has been at this for 26 years: decades before anyone ever heard of the "alt-right."

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.

Sir, this is a Wendy's, even though we can't call it that because they withdrew from the Russian market in 2014.

thank you, benjamin netanyahu

We fought. We won. Others can too. www.mediamatters.org/angelo-carus...

excellent work from CBS giving a platform to an overgrown fascist man-child desperate for a platform. should have asked him about the fake US passport he had while on the run in Europe (a federal felony) or, you know, at least done some actual journalism, but here we are

48 hours since the last Matt Walsh post on X. I hope he’s okay.

global tetrahedron should buy spirit airlines

OK imagine Graham Platner as a giant cartoon steak. Would you vote for him now? No? You're not going to vote for the giant cartoon steak? You stupid idiot

interesting thing is that a lot of people keep speculating that graham platner is going to have a “john fetterman” pivot but fetterman and platner have been openly feuding back and forth for months now

nooooooooooooooooooooo, really????? you don’t say??? you’re telling me this for the first time???

Looks awful.

On Monday's ep, @peltzmadeline.bsky.social joins for a discussion about weed killer chemicals, snorting coke off toilet seats, and raccoon weenies. (We're talking about the MAHA movement.) Madeline also talks golf strategy and the crush she has on Mrs. Met www.patreon.com/posts/102-ma...

i want to know more, but not enough to spoil the next 2lazy2try video, which i’m assuming is coming in the next day or two

2022

Ben Shapiro tried to use his platform to displace the “groypers,” Candace Owens, and now Tucker Carlson—and needless to say, he failed completely, and utterly, in doing so.

Candace Owens says that the Daily Wire laid off more than half of its staff today:

A message on a Colorado school shooter's shoe makes clear the teen was deeply entrenched in online extremist networks and that his radicalization was central to his attack, experts say. "We need to think about how male supremacism and violent misogyny are dangerous ideologies in their own right.”

[wokely] "it's actually preferable for Republicans to control the senate and continue to enact Donald Trump's agenda. I am very smart."

lol, ok

I remember talking to someone who provided immigration support services in the Pittsburgh area about a claim a MAGA guy made that undocumented migrants bankrupted a hospital in PA. One thing she said is that a lot of her clients are pretty insistent on paying their medical debt. That stuck with me.

"This decision will jeopardize maps for congressional seats, state legislatures, city councils, school boards – every level at which communities of color have fought for true representation," writes @slakin.bsky.social.

"Trump is very savvy in terms in terms of finding things that create anxiety, fear and anger... and exploiting those things to accrue power for himself, to accrue wealth for himself, to dominate. He's like a shark." Please check out my interview with PBS News here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKzf...

Today, the SPLC filed two motions in federal court related to the grand jury indictment returned last week. The motions argue that Trump administration officials made false statements related to the SPLC's informant program: https://bit.ly/4cI2BJa

En skjutning mot en moské i Arizona aktualiserar frågan om minskad rörelsefrihet för USA:s muslimska befolkning. Lagförslag på lagförslag pekar på ett allt mer normaliserat och institutionaliserat motstånd, skriver Hannah Gais.

"I dissent because Congress elected otherwise. I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent."

A periodic reminder to journalists covering the indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center that our union released a statement about this that you can find here.

For something truly cursed though, how about Ben Klassen speeches on vinyl

If you went to a show at the Sphere this year, chances are you were surveilled by a paranoid creep. Great reporting details in this ep. 👇🏽

FYI: some extremely stupid people are going to try to shut this place down at some point

A pretty good rule of thumb is any journalist who consistently makes the story about them is really not worth your time.

Even in terms of pure rhetoric I think the story of the year is that ordinary people--many of whom weren't previously very politically engaged--are furious, while professional politicians very much aren't. Just listen to basically anyone who lives in Minneapolis for 5 minutes

We have archives of the Bluesky account being attributed to the WHCD shooting suspect over at @openmeasures.bsky.social and it is remarkable how... unremarkable?... this guy seemed to be. Never in a million years would have been the kind of person I'd think to have a concern about?

As a Criminal Law professor, let me add: don't do crimes.

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

Here’s what we know: 🔴 Law enforcement official says officer in bullet-resistant vest was shot but expected to be ok 🔴 Trump’s back at the White House; presser expected shortly 🔴 All Cabinet officials are ok, Trump + Secret Service says 🔴 One person in custody, per Secret Service

Here’s a partial look at those refusing to skip dinner with Trump. They should all have to explain themselves to the rest of the industry.

New interview for @motherjones.com: I spoke with a veteran death penalty lawyer about the “video game brutality” of the Trump Administration’s plan to promote federal executions by firing squad. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A lot of people thought Bari Weiss was hired at CBS News to help the network connect with Trump supporters. If that was the goal, it's been a complete failure. Our data suggests the network has actually *lost* relevance in diehard MAGA communities. openmeasures.io/cbs-news-bar...
