Right-wing extremists have carried out nearly all politically motivated killings in the last 25 years. Here’s an incomplete list, with some international cases included for their influence on U.S. attacks.

I have also included a list of left-wing extremist murders from the same time period.

If a white MAGA guy had done this, it would’ve already been swept into the memory hole. Remember that Trump supporter who attacked a Mormon church just two months ago? Whatever happened to that story?

Just a few miles from my home, in Redmond, WA, ICE detained folks yesterday. One of the women questioned was Indigenous actor Elaine Miles, known for her role in "Northern Exposure." ICE called her tribal ID ‘fake’. WTF! She's NATIVE AMERICAN you fuck'n idiots!

A small but vocal Christian nationalist faction has spent years trying to kill the Johnson Amendment so churches can openly back candidates and operate like unregulated Super PACs. If they succeed, Citizens United will look like child’s play.
The Court Case That Could Blow the Roof Off Political Spending
Christian nationalists are teaming up with Donald Trump's administration to argue that churches should be able to spend on political campaigns.

Jack Smith and Garland knew there was a 1-in-3 chance of drawing Aileen Cannon, and filed in Florida anyway. Then you’ve got Fani Willis getting tangled up with her own prosecutor. These cases weren’t sunk by lack of evidence, but by jaw-dropping lapses of judgment.
How Jack Smith’s strongest case against Donald Trump collapsed
Seeking to get the classified documents case to a jury before the 2024 election, the special counsel made a fateful decision that some in his office saw as a misstep.

Emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

America has beautiful cancer, the best in the world. I love our cancer, it's so great. Other countries, not good countries, refuse to buy our cancer, it's very unfair.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

30 years of climate summits. Billions spent. Conferences, speeches, promises. And we’ve achieved nothing. In fact, we're moving backwards.

This is a failure of leadership, a total collapse of political will, and a damning indictment of the entire COP process. Nothing less than a disgrace.
