Laura Loomer to 2022 speech to American Renaissance neo-Nazi conference: "Most Americans, and conservative Americans, actually share our views, but the cancel culture and fear of being silenced…prevents them from speaking." Also called herself a "white advocate."

Chicago Trib on teenage anti-ICE activists: "If I get the opportunity to fight like this for the rest of my life, I would be totally OK with that."
The future of our country depends, in part, upon whether the Democratic Party does or does not have space for young people like that.

How much you wanna bet Dana White paid Glenn Beck to run this on his website. Or, owns a piece of his web site.
By the way: did you know that Dana White is SHOCKED, SHOCKED to find gambling in his sport.

The kidnapping was Wednesday morning. A thousand neighbors rallied in solidarity Wednesday night. That's how mobilized Chicago is.
We shall overcome.
