She forgot about (and I can’t believe I’m typing these words…) kikes, niggers, spics, chinks, poopyheads, nincompoops and peckerwoods… 🧐

I think I can guess in guess in TWO words:

1.) He’s

And

2.) Black

Any questions?

Glenn Beck says that after he aired a show on Antifa, FBI agents acting on the behest of Kash Patel came to get tips. Here's who the segment targeted, largely through strained connections and guilt by association: www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/g...

“Balls & strikes”.

Nah.

“Strikes for Democrats. Balls for Republicans.” Is more like it.

So often I am writing about the far right, young men, extremist misogyny - but I rarely get to write about solutions and how we tackle this issue. So meet the Warren - a remarkable youth centre in Hull tackling radicalisation

The former fire station fighting far-right radicalisation

Hull, a once busy port city in northern England that now faces high unemployment, is a key target for the far right

Caste system tiers of workers versus elites is profound. The lack of rights of women as subservient subjects of men is hideous. I don’t trust ANY country with these human rights abuses.

Absolutely gutted to get on FB for once in a blue moon, and scroll to find out people that have been “friends” or in some way actually acted like friends are raging Trumper lunatics.

It makes me want to close that account and move elsewhere.

Fuck!

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

In what insane universe is this a district? This is racial gerrymandering! I defy anyone to make sense of such a “shape” in a way that has no racial component as primary rationale.

Brett Kavanaugh's suggestion for getting rid of the Voting Rights Act is simple: Changing parts of the law he doesn't personally agree with

The Conservative Justices Have So Many Ideas For How to Kill the Voting Rights Act

The Republican justices already know where they’re going. They just have to figure out which route they’re going to take to get there.

Yesterday, SCOTUS heard a case that could make it easier for GOP states to get away with racial gerrymandering ahead of the 2026 midterms. Should the court rule to weaken a key voting protection, it could kill what’s left of a vital civil rights law.

GOP, the much-ballyhooed line “Law & order party”… but whose “law” and by whose order is the real question here.

#FuckTrump

Alpaca Lunch Box @alpacalunchbox.bsky.social · 9h

“Trump said his administration wanted to help “our neighbors” with the aid package, but he also suggested that the money could be pulled if Milei’s party did not prevail in the Oct. 26 midterm elections.”

Typical Trump. Shakedown. “Help” ALWAYS conditional & designed to leverage/accrue power.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.
