yup.
This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

UPDATE: The Mississippi Free Press has obtained bodycam footage from the Senatobia police officer who fired the fatal shot that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. The footage shows he was standing on the side of the car when he fired into it, hitting the child. www.reddit.com/r/JoeBuddenP...

The real reason the officer had pulled Knowles over was because some surveillance system he was using had access to automated license plate reader (ALPR) data on where she’d been driving, and had decided that her travel pattern was “suspicious.” www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?
The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

I have at this point written literally hundreds of stories about Trump since 2015. I make it a point in the bulk of them to point out he was the lead proponent of the racist birther conspiracy. The mainstream media has all but disappeared this yet it is the main reason he became potus.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
