These Republican Senators offer reassuring platitudes ... But here we are at the end of November 2025, and it is clear that the Trump Administration is actively conspiring with Russia to accelerate a Russian victory. - @stuartpstevens.bsky.social 3/

There are very few Republican Senators who do not believe that American security and prosperity will be greatly weakened if Ukraine does not defeat the Russian invasion in a decisive and clear victory. - @stuartpstevens.bsky.social 2/

If Anne’s story teaches us anything, it’s we don’t get to be passive bystanders to the normalization of hate, don’t get to treat extremism as a ratings opportunity, don’t get to forget what happens when society decides that the worst ideas deserve a seat at the table - @katiephang.bsky.social 9/

Fuentes ... is being publicly shuffled toward respectability, w/ the help of Carlson & [Megan] Kelly, who provide permission structure for people not only to listen to Fuentes, but to consider his raging anti-Semitism to be some version of legitimate policy - @katiephang.bsky.social 8/

Carlson & Fuentes hung out like old buddies on Carlson’s podcast for more than 2 hrs. That interview has now been viewed by more than 6.5 million ... Carlson’s idea- & -image-laundering of Fuentes included portraying him as just another voice that deserves to be heard- @katiephang.bsky.social 7/

Fuentes has said that Hitler was “really fucking cool” and has denied that the Holocaust ever happened. But, in the same breath, he has compared the genocide of millions of Jews in concentration camps to the baking of cookies. - @katiephang.bsky.social 6/

Nick Fuentes is not a “provocateur.” He is not “edgy.” He is not “contrarian.” Fuentes is a 27-year old, self-professed white supremacist, misogynist, Holocaust denier, anti-Semite, and a man who openly praises the ideology that murdered Anne Frank and millions of others - @katiephang.bsky.social 5/

Anne and her sister were first sent to Auschwitz, but then the two were transferred to another Nazi concentration camp, Bergen-Belsen, in 1945. Bergen-Belsen would be their death beds. - @katiephang.bsky.social 4/

And that is exactly why the current platforming and soft-pedaling of a white nationalist like Nick Fuentes by major conservative media figures should set off alarms for anyone paying attention. - @katiephang.bsky.social 3/

Anne’s life is a reminder that the worst chapters of history begin not with gas chambers, but with rhetoric, with excuses, and with normalization. - @katiephang.bsky.social 2/
