If there's anything more clownish than a foundation dedicated to Ronald Reagan, it's a foundation dedicated to Ronald Reagan that lies about and pisses on the sincerely held views of Ronald Reagan, in support of someone whom Ronald Reagan probably would've hated.

How profoundly pathetic all around.

I did not expect the years I spent in gaming communities, becoming inured to the juvenile trolling methods of terminally online 4chan-dwelling teens, to become such an asset in processing executive branch communications but here we are.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The far right is so hierarchical and billionaire-funded they can't fathom random people spending an inordinate amount of time and energy to protect communities without organization, leadership, or funding.

Most of the political and pundit class lined up the past two weeks as Trump pushed to label everyone on the Left as "domestic terrorists."

Now in the wake of a day of horrific and deadly mass shootings by a Trump supporter and a conspiracy theorist, total crickets.

“Free Speech is when we’re allowed to censor and/or silence the speech of others whom we disagree with”

They seem really invested in this justification, I’ve seen it pop up in multiple situations just this week.

The net effect of Elon buying Twitter and rebuilding the algorithm to constantly spoonfeed people right wing propaganda has been less convincing average people of right wing propaganda and more convincing the entire anglosphere elite class that the average person believes right wing propaganda

It really does. Their catharsis is always transient, their obsessive resentment is insatiable, and since fascists are constitutionally incapable of improving a country their access to power always necessarily leads to self sabotage. Genuinely unburdened human joy is always out of reach for them.

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

Tech doesn't work that way anymore. Phones have gotten as good as they can get, in terms of the shit we actually need. Every new generation is at best a tiny iterative improvement. And at worst something that used to work being shoved full of bloatware to create illusory value.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

In this case, this child was among the most vulnerable to Israel’s forced famine in Gaza. Just because all children aren’t yet dying there doesn’t make this death any less horrific, or the policy that caused it any less barbaric.
