I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

As Bovino and masked DHS officers sweep another Home Depot looking to round up day laborers, a reminder of the meeting in May when Stephen Miller screamed at ICE to stop doing targeted enforcement, start hitting Home Depots and 7/11s and “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Tonight must be the night that smart white women post and repost some of the dumbest shit I’ve read in weeks. First barb and now HRC? What are we doing here @hcrichardson.bsky.social ??? You’re a respected historian and you’re reposting the guy who told us to stop using “woke academic words”?
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

Here is the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee fundraising from SpaceX and Palantir's top lobbying firm AFTER DOGE was in progress. The DCCC had already done the same.

Yeah sure, let’s let in the racists, Nazis and bigots. It’s not like they’ve been calling to have us all rounded up and hung for the last decade.

Dunk on them all you want, stop listening to the guy who voted to give ICE billions of dollars to kidnap ppl bc he thought “it would keep us safe”

Watch this.
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

My wife, who was born and raised in Germany, can confirm every word of this.

She once said to me: "The problem with your country is that you have no sense of collective shame."
High school teacher Katharina Matro explains how growing up in Germany and learning about the country’s past “made me a more informed citizen, a more politically aware citizen, a more critical thinker.” #FreedomToLearn #HonestHistory 🗃️

Worth noting: many of these extremists are devotees of "The Camp of the Saints," wherein the social justice catechism of the Church is explicitly caricatured and mocked, and where the Pope and much of the clergy are portrayed as naive fools complicit in The Great Replacement.
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.

Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.
“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

How about you say “when we take back power, we will reverse all of these pardons” instead of this milk toast outrage
This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
