These are the sorts of actors emboldened by the mainstreaming of white supremacy.
A DeBary man was arrested on Thursday, Dec. 4, after going online and threatening to kill people of color and Jews.

Michael McGuire, 64, also proclaimed himself the "protector of white people.

The mainstreaming of white supremacy.
The right tore itself apart over Tucker Carlson’s interview with the white nationalist. Trump shrugged. Now he's everywhere.

This is my immediate strategy for surviving this time:

Plant trees. Buy seeds. Make compost. Make plans for my garden. Walk outside. Lift weights. Read books. Make art.

I planted bulbs the day after the election. They are under the frozen ground, resting and doing their thing. Every day I look

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

This is just racist bullshit. It needs to be recognized as such and called out. I'm sorry, but this is just white nationalism.

There is some argument to be made about how only the woman in this sordid scenario is paying a price but it is not a lynching in any way shape or form. I wish people demonstrated even a slight understanding of history.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion.

So much for “making cities better…”
