Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

When did “I appreciate you” become the standard statement of thanks? First time someone said it to me, I was like “aww, that’s so nice. I feel personally appreciated.” Now, it’s like “Do you really appreciate me, guy I’m interviewing and have known for 30 minutes?”

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Caveat is I won’t watch a boring World Series. If Seattle can’t win one of the first 2 games next week I’m probably out

Jay🦇🦇🦇 @jdbatts79.bsky.social · 1d

World Series I didn’t watch because I was too upset/angry about the Phillies:

2010
2011 (as upset as sports has ever made me)
2023

I watched with no reservations at all last year and will watch with no issue this year as well

The thing about the Nazi chat is these people turned the country upside down and got a lot of people fired to be able to say those things in comfort.

No one talks about it but punters are the same thing. Before 2008 no one in history averaged 50 yards per punt. Every year the last 6 years someone has done it. 13/14 career leaders in yards/punt are active punters. It’s madness

okay i’m finally on the “field goals are too easy now” bandwagon. backup college kickers should not be hitting 55 yarders.

I'll say again winning every election for eternity isn't realistic but driving the GOP into the wilderness long enough for leaders to clean house is doable, if hard and requiring unpleasant compromises.

Chris Wightman 🧟‍♂️ @wymancr.bsky.social · 15h

The basic insight that decent people cannot work for the Republican Party remains true. The staff culture is gutter racism and misogyny all the way down. You either leave or leave your morals behind. It's going to get even worse until the party collapses.
