Next up on Posting Through It, we’re back with another installment in our acclaimed “Who the Hell?” longform biographical series. Our next subject: Richard Hanania. Feat guests @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @henryburke.bsky.social Out Monday!

(3/3, fin)

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

Republicans think feeding poor struggling families is on the path to socialism.

I mean I wake up everyday and see people being rounded up into camps. God forbid we hold the people in charge accountable. Trump being able to run again is a failure and Democrats inability to run campaigns offering anything other than status quo through 2024 doesn’t move people to vote.

We reviewed FBI documents that showed a sweeping pay-to-play investigation involving Sen. Susan Collins was in motion. Then Trump shut down the unit in charge. Had we found a road map to corruption in Congress? We decided to dig deeper.

hahaha if you saw me post a thread no you didn't

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

one thing that cracks me up is this right wing notion that the french are a bunch of pushovers is we rioted like the average Frenchman Republicans and the chattering classes would be begging for martial law and pants pissing www.bbc.com/news/article...

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

NEW from LCRW: The SoapGirls saga gets weirder. From possible fake fans juicing their online following to real fans threatening to bury our reporter @wileycope.bsky.social alive to more cancelled shows & visa issues, the South African band that did blackface in a music video is having a bad time

Bovino got fired in March, attended a neo-Nazi rally in May, appeared on a white nat podcast in June and a podcast hosted by J6er and Proud Boys this week. Bovino is now working with another J6er who hosted a rally in Minneapolis named after a racial slur.

"The result is an American empire increasingly willing to display its coercive power while dismissing accountability as weakness. The question is whether people living in the US will accept this normalization of cruelty and intimidation or organize to challenge it." idavox.com/index.php/20...

This is probably the most overtly fascist move the Trump administration has made so far, which is saying something. Someone in the DOJ has read their Schmitt.

I take the potential for internecine violence in this country very seriously. And I've tried to be careful with my rhetoric around this. But how long are we supposed to sit by and respond politely when the other side talks EXCLUSIVELY about killing or imprisoning our loved ones?

It's not "calling for mass violence" to say that an appropriate response to "I'm going to kill you and your loved ones" is "you can try, fucker."

Stephen Miller has privately voiced a fear that pardon power won't be enough to protect him once President Donald Trump leaves office.

"He had plotted to carry out a "mass shooting of Indian people" at a Hindu temple in Aurora...His hatred was against Jewish people, African Americans, Indians, & "non-white" people."" www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/j...

"The server in the Netherlands was 'one of the last pieces of hardware we wanted to get rid of. We were in touch with [the data center] about it.' According to the anonymous source, the encrypted server contains nothing that could cause problems for A/I users. 'I’m not worried. Just surprised.'"

“That's 40 *cents*. Cents are a form of currency one hundred times smaller than the reál. I'm not even going to take this. Come back when you have 130 reál.” Isn't it... evil? The order of magnitude between what is asked of a person -- and what they have?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I know, my friend, it is tempting to declare that this is not who we are in response to the news that they are planning to livestream an execution, but know, my friend, even if this is not who we are it is time to admit that this is who many of our neighbors are.

YOU - I'm currently in-between names.

ERO ONE agents will [do a type of] analysis that involves researching not only a target, but also every other person to whom they’re connected, including household members, family members, friends, acquaintances, or the person with whom they carpool to work. prospect.org/2026/10/14/i...

I say this from my heart: Fuck the whiny, hectoring sycophants who yell "payyyyed protestaaaaahs" while swathed in MAGA logo wear. We have the numbers and we will win. 13/?

(Free article) Turning Point USA’s production arm, Frontlines, was present when Border Patrol violently raided the tree-sit protest camp in Lochiel, AZ. They had been informed ahead of time the raid would be occurring and also filmed the camp the day before with a drone. This is who they are:

Neo-Nazi Jake Lang again chased out by hundreds of anti-fascist locals who mobilized against a white supremacist rally.

It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:

Stephen Miller's Office of Remigration deliberately announces right in its name that white nationalism is the basis for US immigration policy. Dems should defund it. The great Posting Through It pod invited me on to talk about my reporting on Miller. We went deep: open.spotify.com/episode/5OAX...

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.
