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.

To be fair, many of Duterte's summary executions were people who were competing with his son in his "side" gig of selling drugs.

I love how fox news is going to die because they're increasingly seen as out of touch by their audience who hates jews.

Politico is moving the overton window and gloating here, not reporting.

Go back if you can stand it, there is a need for lists of these people.

The overton window hasn't shifted enough for these people to admit they also want to see that.

Guardian staff have a significant share of culpability for this.

This article isn't reporting, it's gloating while staff cheers.

We all saw how well nonviolent protest worked after Cass, perhaps a lesson can be learned.

The right wing's true views on "free speech" can be seen in action in the USA, it was dishonest from the start.

A mere 12 staff are their current foothold in the UK.

This cancer can be stopped before it metastasizes if people in the UK choose to see these people as a threat and act accordingly.

No revenue for the eager stenographers of the US regime.

Well that's worthy of a permanent blacklisting.

At some point, we have to stop giving companies the benefit of the doubt.

Or more accurately, they want to instigate mass shootings / vehicle attacks at these events.

The focus of what is on screens is just a placeholder until the Overton Window shifts and they can begin eliminating people whose existence they find intolerable...

In Canada.

Because of anti-trans legislation and the cruelty of Danielle Smith / the UCP.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

I wouldn't be too sure. Portland had a white supremacist cop - Mark Kruger - with a nazi shrine who only got rewarded and promoted.

Cops who had a problem with him were witchhunted from the department.

Prosecutors would easily find a favorable jury in PDX.
