Here are the grown “kids”. That one guy looks late 40’s. These are the Hitler lovers.

Vermont state senator Sam Douglass. Bland white guy with glasses and beard. Brown hair.

Man in poorly fitting dark suit with glasses and dark hair. Yes he’s white. William Hendrix who is the communications assistant to vile Kris Kobach, Kansas AG.

Bobby Walker, dark hair and dressed exactly like trump. Not a kid at all. He’s vice chair of New York State young republicans. I guess young means under 50.

Peter Giunta looks like he’s in his 40’s. I don’t know his age. Also dressed like trump in an ill-fitting suit. He has one of the worst combovers I’ve ever seen. Beard and mustache. He’s the chair of the NY state young republicans. He looks like the type of guy that looks through your windows at night.

On some level, it's genuinely hilarious that Republicans have gone from making these nuanced arguments about how wokeism stifles free thought, or how racially disparate outcomes aren't indicative of racism, etc. . . . to just straight up defending weird dudes who say "I love Hitler."

Eric Trump, in three different right-wing media interviews over the past week, accused Jack Smith of "planting" evidence obtained in the Aug. 2023 Mar-a-Lago raid.

Problem: Smith didn't become special counsel until three months after that search. www.mediamatters.org/eric-trump/e...

I’ve had bronchitis a lot, in the past, and it can be tiring but you can still function and go to work.

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

A lot of the abuse of the Floatilla detainees mirrors what has been done to targeted activists inside of ICE in Portland, Oregon.

No activists deserves torture.
