remember when there was a national conversation around target's vaguely queer-positive merchandise? like whole new york times exposés on it?

well walmart is currently selling this:

some guy is making a documentary about TCAP and it seems like it's mildly critical from this interview but this line was hilarious.

like, unless you're driving people to suicide and putting people on blast without due process, you're not doing the same thing

Richard Hanania, a man who literally got caught posting on white supremacist forums, is being portrayed as the mainstream "non-bigoted" alternative to fuentes. unreal.

huge, huge pet peeve of mine is when people argue that centrism is "less ideological" or "less political" as if that's not also a political and ideological choice

it's the new york times so they can't stop themselves from comparing the overt antisemitism and nazi worship of fuentes with pro-palestinian protests

and of course they need to interview a rabid zionist nationalist about it:

this anecdote completely undercuts the piece's theory that "the political heirs of his “America First” agenda have tried to form an intellectual framework for their movement that embraces nationalism while keeping overt bigotry out of the coalition."

some more sanewashing of charlie kirk's beliefs, when he held many very racist and explicitly white supremacist beliefs

nick fuentes being interviewed by tucker carlson (maybe the most prominent media voice on the right) and having dinner with the president and face of the MAGA movement is somehow still being rejected by conservatism?

the piece starts with this paragraph, which feels like it comes from a parallel dimension where we aren't rounding up people because they're brown or speak spanish and deporting them for no reason.

like idk, the bigotry feels pretty mask off right now!

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures.

they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

i'm no expert, but it seems to me that in el salvador at least, the US supported a military dictatorship that was opposed to elections and liked killing its opponents for reagan's entire presidency.

doesn't feel very democratic to me unless i'm missing something?

if you're in seattle and you're sad about the mariners, make sure you vote out bruce harrell because it's probably his fault

for an outfit that claims to care about free speech more than anything else, it's pretty hilarious that the free press is barely even talking about how the govt got a dude suspended for his completely vanilla speech

It literally doesn’t matter what liberals or those on the left say about Kirk’s death.

It doesn’t matter how much they fall over themselves to call it a tragedy or to condemn Hamas — I mean violence

This is what the American Right is always going to do
September 11, 2025 at 10:29 PM
yeet me into space.

i don't condone vigilante justice or extrajudicial murder. but kirk has certainly peddling in the language of political violence for years.

he called for derek chauvin to be pardoned.
he called daniel penny a hero.
he turned kyle rittenhouse into a conservative martyr.

not to diminish the seriousness of this whole thing, but why did he write it like a screenplay? like is this trump's attempt at art??

yeah we're all looking for the guy who did this
