If you live in the US and you’re white, unless you’re very lucky, you’re dealing with the awareness that a good-size chunk of your family not only would go Nazi if given the chance, but were given the chance and took it without any hesitation, and are Nazis now, so that’s what they were all along.

"I begged my wife for the last two months to stop calling me flaccid. That kind of rhetoric needed to stop. I said to her in March--if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be a black eye. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anyone with a black eye. But I warned her."

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. 🙄
