Either:

Meet Aimee Bock, the newly convicted ringleader of the Minnesota child care fraudsters. Funny, she doesn't look Somali.

Trump will nonetheless continue his racist tirades because that is who he is. He chooses to believe a agi-prop piece from an alt-right wingnut because it matches his biases.

One of the first things Trump did in Feb. 2017 was set up an office in DHS to *exclusively* publicize crimes committed by immigrants — just as the Nazis used Der Stürmer to publish a special section only highlighting “Jewish crimes.”

18-year-old ‘masseuse.’
Epstein wasn’t just a frequent visitor to Mar-a-Lago.

Trump was also sending his spa employees—usually young women—to Epstein’s nearby home for massages, manicures, and other spa services.

So Trump has his own spa but sends his young spa workers to a sex trafficker's home for spa services.

Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex.

The wealth of Epstein was crazy. He didn't just own one private island. He owned two private islands. They are valued here as $86 million. They later sold at an estate sale for $60 million. 👀🏝️🏝️ #doj #epstein files

Political scientist Julia Azari argues that Trump, like Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon before him, became president in part because of white backlash against the pro-Black accomplishments of his predecessor.

Ari Shapiro on why the pitch for public media might become easier as corporate newsrooms are compromised by political pressure:

“Public radio newsrooms are places where editorial decisions are made by journalists, not business owners. The organization is accountable to the public, not to funders.”
Will NPR be ok?
And why I believe the answer is yes…eventually.

The New York Times has done an amazing job of pulling together in one crawlable web of data many of the ways Trump is abusing the presidency to enrich himself, his family, and his cronies to the detriment of Americans.

Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?

Again, the man who’s next in line for the presidency after this walking corpse has said he’s deeply influenced by this outright Nazi, so maybe we could get a little more attention on that?
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

This.

They’re advertising strength because they don’t have it.

Take their message seriously.
It’s who they are.
But don’t buy their product.
DHS publicly fantasizing about massive state violence should be taken seriously, and warrants labels such as fascist and white supremacist. But don't lose sight of the fact that it's beyond their capabilities.

The regime's desire for authoritarian repression is bottomless. Its capacity isn't close.
They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

It’s worth saying out loud that this is Nazi propaganda. They’re not winking and nodding. It’s pure unadulterated lebensraum.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.
