A riveting documentary by brave journalist Deeyah Khan following and meeting with white nationalist and Neo Nazi organizations across America.

It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s terrifying. But it’s also necessary to understand the psyche of hate.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Jane Goodall, in Her Last Words to the World, Shares Wish to Launch Donald Trump and Elon Musk on One-Way Trip to Space

Dr. Jane Goodall was no fan of Donald Trump or Elon Musk. In fact, she dreamed of a day when they got a one-way ticket off the planet.

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 20h

The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.

The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Not a good sign when the President of the United States is speaking at a meeting on anti-fascism and domestic terrorism saying things like “we took the freedom of speech away.”

Republicans and Trump are all about free speech as long as you don’t say anything they disagree with.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

I'll believe it when I see it @ericswalwell.bsky.social. I've been burned too many times. And what comes after is the bigger question; President Vance would be much, much worse.

Watching the interview @mark-carney.bsky.social / @economist.com, you really get the sense of how smooth an operator Carney is. Like one smooth-ass MF.

The Economist @economist.com · 20h

Speaking to The Economist, Mark Carney said that a trade deal would benefit both Canada and the United States. But this could prove unpopular for the prime minister, no matter whether it objectively strengthens Canada

Mark Carney’s radical vision for handling Trumpian America

Liberalise at home and lead a new free-trade revolution

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
