Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

I think it’s fair for people to question rezoning, though I disagree. I think it’s really misleading to illustrate that with a photo of a completely different type of development double the size of what is permitted by the zoning type in the op-ed. calgaryherald.com/opinion/it-f...

I didn’t think I was going to see a photo today of Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon yukking it up from the files of Jeffrey Epstein, but here we are.
Some people are getting an error message trying to download the new Epstein photos from the @oversightdemocrats.house.gov Dropbox link.
I downloaded the files before it was overloaded, so I've uploaded them to the Internet Archive if you're having the same problem accessing them:
