This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…

When @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered a Goodreads page tied to the email of a top Pentagon official featuring “Asian wife sharing” books and other pornographic works, he did what any reporter would do: ask the Pentagon questions.
The very next day, a threatening email from Jack Posobiec arrived.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

It appears that someone accidentally sent out to Trump’s email fundraising list a text he meant to send to Olivia Nuzzi.

In 1978, an antisemitic White Christian Nationalist named Walter Huss was elected chair of the OR GOP. When the party's moderate establishment held a meeting to engineer Huss's ouster in May 1979, Huss's supporters gathered outside the venue to do spiritual warfare on his behalf. It didn't work.

Apologies for yet another thread with a hate read of a Douthat joint, but we need to talk about the role the credulous "center-right" is playing in normalizing fascistic illiberalism in the US. Kolvet is a rabid Islamophobe and anti-trans hatemonger, but you'd never know that from this interview.

According to the Oregon Republican Party, Democrats have turned Oregon into an economic wasteland where it's almost impossible for hard working people to support themselves, and also, when able bodied poor people rely on government assistance to feed themselves they should be shamed for it.

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.

Trump is their Franco; wrecking the economy, selling out his people to foreign fascists, a stumbling demented manchild supported by the rich and the theist fanatics and the ignorant.
Young Republicans are looking for Trump to “be their Franco” but don’t you dare call them fascists.

Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

If during the Biden administration, masked feds had stormed the campus of a Christian college like Hillsdale to apprehend someone while pointing guns at students and administrators, Republicans would have filed impeachment articles immediately and taken to the streets.
ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.
This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.
