Just as an official announcement for the new followers I’m picking up of late: this is a SFW profile, and will remain a SFW profile.

In case you’re hoping for something else

Remember the quaint days of yore when it was all “you call everyone you disagree with a Nazi” and yet now it’s all “oh so now we’re Nazis for loving Hitler?” What an incredible age of newspeak we live in.

hmm. where have I heard this before..

My friends wanted Germany purified. They wanted it purified of the politicians, of all the politicians. They wanted a representative leader in place of unrepresentative representatives. And Hitler, the pure man, the antipolitician, was the man, untainted by “politics,” which was only a cloak for corruption. The “mink coat” scandal in the United States at the beginning of the 1950’s had its counterpart in Berlin in the beginning of the 1930’s, when the Nazis focused their campaign for the mayoralty on the receipt by the wife of the Social Democratic mayor of a für coat from a man who did business with the city.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Israelis are hostages. But Palestinians are prisoners.

Language matters. But, two years on, apparently it still doesn’t to many mainstream media outlets.

What a failure it has been.

A news alert text from Sky News. It says:
Lists of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released under swap deal have been exchanged, Hamas says.

“federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning.”

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

It's banned book week and we sincerely hope you're reading something that makes conservative people sneer. The bar is low, but that doesn't mean we can't be proud of clearing it!

Let us know what book you're devouring this week, and never let anyone tell you what you can and can't read.
