Imagine if another politician did this but demanded libraries remove all books that showed cishet people in a positive light? These Christian Nationalist fundamentalist extremists would flip out, but for some reason guys like this aren't immediately removed from office. popular.info/p/tennessee-...

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Here's Jeremy kicking in the door of the Oregon State Capitol. I guess you can do that and still be buddy-buddy with Drazen. bsky.app/profile/some...
"I'm a white-power Captain America - damn it!!!"

This far-right asshole, Jeremy Wayne, demands to be honored for kicking-in the door of the Oregon Capitol building. He's definitely not sorry and would do it again if he thought is was advantageous.

He goes to Washington Square and attacks stores for supporting LGBTQ folks. He's one of the most hateful videographers out there.

One of the guys who stormed the US Capitol on J6 is now the Christian Nationalist sign guy. He's trying to make a name for himself within the white evangelical Christian community. David Medina has an Assembly of God background but now attends the Calvary Chapel-aligned Athey Creek Church.

There was a time when our president was not allowed to do these things, not if the president wanted to remain the leader of nominally free people.
It’s sick.
It is depraved.
It is a history-books level of shameful.

It’s got to stop. We can’t let people like this dictate our national conversation. Because they don’t care about solving anything. Meanwhile, the middle class is collapsing—and we’re still stuck in this hell loop.

People are getting hurt.

It has to stop.

Call: Reminding service members to refuse illegal orders is laudable.
Calling for their execution is authoritarian and disqualifying.

If you see ICE in your neighborhood, call the PIRC hotline at 1-888-622-1510 and record what you see. This evidence matters—both in the courts and in the court of public opinion.
