#CU! What are you promoting here in #Boulder? Those tuition fees seem to outweigh morality. Classroom discussions must be VERY different these days.

Patriot Front has claimed over 100 vandalisms in the City of Boulder since Nathan enrolled at CU, including several on campus.

Will2Rise is a white supremacist streetwear brand run by Robert Rundo, and the Hammerskins are a notorious neo-Nazi skinhead gang responsible for several white supremacist attacks, including the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting.

Nathan was identified after CU Boulder's TPUSA chapter posted a photo announcing their new Executive Board.

They tagged Nathan's Instagram, which featured photos of him competing at Frontiers 25, a white supremacist boxing tournament.

Listen people. I got a tattoo once after a few drinks. It is extremely easy to NOT get a Nazi tattoo after a few drinks.

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, excusable about his tattoo, and if you think otherwise you are truly telling on yourself.

I regret to inform you that we have reached the stage of American decline where the Pod Save America guys think a NAZI TATTOO is not disqualifying for a democratic candidate for Senate.

So Trump bulldozed a third of the White House complex. And they’re trying to keep the photos off limits.

#Boulder?

Thanks to a tip, we have just found possibly the funniest photo of CU TPUSA Secretary Nathan Ellis, and confirmed his membership in a third hate group: Asatru Folk Assembly.

Really? They’re in #Boulder, CO, now, not only accepted by #CU but on Boulder’s Turning Point USA Chapter? Boulder? Really?
I didn’t understand we countenanced that, but it was “in the air,” so to speak.

You could DM in a few days because my schedule is too “noisy’ for me to talk to you about something so vital to you. Thank you.

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening.

Make statues of this.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

Shame on every last one of us. Shame. Not the wealthy who grabbed (our) money in tax cuts and ran. Good riddance and stay gone.
Us. Americans. Shame.

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House.

This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

(15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

Halligan: Yes I do. Off record.

Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?

Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record.
There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

@rbreich.bsky.social is on target here. The tide IS turning for precisely the reason Reich identified: the decaying pumpkin has awakened “regular” Americans (the ones who didn’t/couldn’t abscond with our money in tax cuts).
You know, the people who fight and win wars.

No amount of chaos or distraction will make us forget. The Epstein files hold the truth about power, corruption, and exploitation. Justice cannot hide behind influence forever. Keep the pressure on—NEVER STOP demanding the release of the Epstein files.

But like anew we remembered (mainly “thanks” to the decaying pumpkin smashing the peoples’ house like he owns it) we are the people who celebrate those of us who contribute to the diversity that makes our country - America.
We have learned the value and beauty of ourselves.

I have two grandchildren who have ADHD. I can’t tell you how delightful and smart and fun they are. They see everything so clearly and originally.
They do all the things you do. Of course they can have trouble in school. Being different can bother other people.
