We now have solid proof that after Trump and Project 2025, the future of the GOP is Nazism

Opinion: Project 2025 is laying the groundwork for Nazism that is bubbling up in the next generation of Republican leaders, and texts revealed by Politico prove it, writes John Casey.

This actually makes me like the guy more! Also this absolutely reeks of a DNC/DSCC oppo dump in support of their chosen near-octogenarian first time senate candidate.

A Marine veteran turned oyster farmer who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate once called himself a “communist,” dismissed “all” police as bastards, and said rural White Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, according to deleted social media posts seen by CNN. https://cnn.it/47sXon6

Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer, now disavows posts he made years ago, saying they came from a time when he felt disillusioned and angry and expressed those emotions online.

These editors just cannot help but step on their own dicks when they talk about literally anything in the Midwest, can they?

Once a sleepy (albeit hard-partying) college town, only truly busy on a handful of football Saturdays in the fall, Madison, Wisconsin, has undergone a population boom, transforming it into a full-fledged city. Its farmers’ markets and love for beer and cheese are still going strong, but now Madison also offers an impressive lineup of restaurants, bars and venues attracting major acts. https://nyti.ms/4h56eux

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Rod Stewart has the opportunity to do something extremely funny and cool now

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 1d

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

A special place in hell exists:

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".
