Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

Trump: "I won Georgia three times. But they say twice. I won it big the second time but we had criminals that didn't allow- I hope they're gonna go into that. I hope they go into the votes which are being stored in Fulton County and take a real look at those votes, because I won it the 2nd time too"

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

Anyone who still believes Israel has ever operated in anything resembling good faith would be thoroughly cured of that delusion if they read about Marwan Barghouti. In a world with any justice, he would be president of Palestine.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 2h

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's a reason Israeli leaders including Netanyahu openly funneled money to Hamas while simultaneously jailing and torturing the guy who has worked relentlessly for an actual honest-to-god two-state solution. A really, really clear reason.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

i agree with this except one caveat: being non-white and undeserving of your success is the worst image you can have.

If you're Pete Hegseth, then attaining power undeservingly is your birthright, even if you're a white nationalist meathead who never washes his hands.

EyeOnStalk @sarahgrynpas.bsky.social · 5h

Because even the left uses "affirmative action" as an insult against conservatives, white women, or groups they don't like. In America, being undeserving of your success is the worst image you can have.

Diversity was a workaround against saying "we gave minorities special help."

This kind of language should end a politician's career.

For the modern Republican party, it is part of the appeal.

They want to be racist, sexist, violent without consequences

Tom Joscelyn @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · 4h

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

I like how all the white men think they don’t use their gender(and their racist race) as a lens to view the world

Jessie Gender @jessiegender.bsky.social · 1d

OMG! I made an offhand joke in my latest Star Trek video calling out r/Star_Trek_ for their centrist takes by assuming any left-leaning critique is just about “diversity points” instead of discussing how Trek should challenge the modern status quo - and then they literally did that to my vid. LMAO!

A post on the subreddit r/Star_Trek_ saying "Strange New Worlds is not wokey enough for Jessie Gender" with a picture of Jessie Gender's latest video "STRANGE NEW WORLDS IS A STATUS QUO STAR TREK COMFORT BLANKET" and a subhedding that reads "Don't worry, Jessie. I'm sure Starfleet Academy will be more to your palate..."

POST SAYING - "
I don't care about criticisms of political messaging. I care about criticisms of storytelling quality.

Strange New Worlds is not a good show - not because of trans representation or lack thereof. But because it's written like crap, is gratuitously violent, and incorporates little to no science fiction.

Discovery was also very bad, and not because it had a trans character. Because it was written like crap, was gratuitously violent, and incorporated little to no science fiction.

Picard was also very bad, and not because it had a bisexual character. Because it was written like crap, was gratuitously violent, and incorporated little to no science fiction."

POST SAYING - "The Youtuber's name is literally Jessie Gender - I think it's fairly clear what lens she'll be viewing content through. I avoid her channel (not because she's trans) but because I know that she'll always review, or generally assess, Star Trek media through that gender/sexuality lens. Which is valid, and has its place, but isn't for me - so I get my Trek content elsewhere." and a second comment saying "It must be tiresome caring about one thing only in media you consume"

COMMENT SAYING - I think these people are fake Trek fans, they’ve never cared about the franchise. Only how it can be used as a vessel to carry their beliefs. They thought Trek was progressive so they believed its only value came from being progressive.

Mike Johnson does not think that one of his own people beating a woman is serious? What if the man owned a bike and was naked under his clothes, Mike? Could we talk about it then?

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

it's pretty straightforward: in order for society to improve, billionaires will have to have less money. they don't want that, so they are rooting on the end of civilization instead. they don't have special knowledge, they just think it sounds cool to live as a king in the wasteland

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?
