This is the end game for fascists everywhere: Mass murder of their designated scapegoats. For the Nazis, it was Jews, homosexuals, dissidents. For MAGA, it's immigrants and transgender people. If you put no brakes on fascists, this is where they take you.
23 October 1939 | Dutch Jewish girl, Frouwke Swart, was born in Amsterdam. In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz and, after selection, murdered in a gas chamber. His younger brother, Levie was killed with her. --- Gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

Of course.
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.
Spread this.
❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Glad these facts are getting out about the inept "war fighters" in the GOP's Pentagon
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
Republican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.
They are allied with Putin. They are traitors.
“Witkoff and Kushner raised the possibility that intelligence sharing could be cut off if Kyiv did not heed Washington’s warning to halt the strikes” on Russian refineries. “It was a firm request from POTUS. “Hours later, Ukrainian forces struck the Yug Rusi oil terminal in Rostov-on-Don.”

This is fascism. The slaughter of innocents.

Truly. Never forget.
At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

This is the sick part. The number of Americans who don’t give a shit if Trump shreds the Constitution until they have to pay more for gasoline.
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and Amy Walter hear from 2024 Trump voters who once brushed off the scandals and corruption, until the economy turned against them. “As long as the economy is good, they don’t care that he does all of that other horrible stuff.”
Now, more than ever, is the time for this play. dwgregory.com/plays/drama/... #Theatresky

Two private prison companies. Nine Republican Senate candidates. $157,866 in checks sitting in public filings nobody added up. Every one of those seats is on the ballot in 32 days. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-fill...
Read the whole thread. We are in a civil war without bullets. Yet.
1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.
So many innocents sacrificed to fascism.

So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism. Every institution, norm, and value of democracy will be sacrificed for it. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...
