The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such
Incredible.
Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Bluesky literally caved to right wingers harassing them to ban people saying “rest in piss Charlie Kirk”
Stop trying to gaslight us, Jay.
You literally changed the TOS to allow Jesse Singal to stay despite violating them.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Principled conservative jurists ARE concerned.
The 6-3 majority thinks they can put their thumbs on electoral scales to stop Dems from getting a turn again, and if worst comes to worst, just change the rule again.

I’m hoping someone like @kenwhite.bsky.social can explain why conservative jurists are unconcerned about Dems availing themselves of all this unitary executive power when it’s their turn.
My guess is that safeguarding rights takes constructive action, and firing ppl is a destructive power.

Still quite terrible, but there is time - which MUST be immediately employed - to build independent cell structures for trans and queer persons under sight of this..
like seriously, the actual text of the article bears little resemblance to how some people are interpreting it

has anyone else noticed this? i feel like I see it constantly, with all kinds of stories and articles these days. I'll see rhetoric spreading online about a new development and then read the actual source and it's nothing like how people are summarizing it online.

Meanwhile in Korean media there is clarity that Trump directed this raid out of spite following his Oval Office meeting with the ROK President, who pushed back aggressively on Trump's praise for the North Korean dictator. They're right. US media have no clue of what's going on.

I'm reminded of how the late Christopher Hitchens reacted to Jerry Falwell's death, by lambasting his political legacy, with Sean Hannity on Fox at the time.

All of this is correct, though? Kirk was a bigot. He hated the marginalized. If it was you instead of him he would laugh. He was a terrible man.

Do Gavin Newsom and the New York Times editorial board really think Charlie Kirk was a good person who others should emulate? Or do they not think that but think it’s in their interest to act in public as if they do?
And whichever answer it is, what’s their reasoning?
