Please amplify, those with a bigger platform than me.

It’s horrifying that the person running the US Homeland Security Twitter uses — and clearly knows — the exact same aesthetics, memes, and propaganda from fashwave, accelerationist, and Nazi Telegram.

It says everything about where we are.

Photo manipulation cropped away in this version.

Four images of Robert O'Neill, a retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. The top two are as himself, one from FOXNews TV and the other from an online FOXNews article, then two more; a "former Antifa" (and in another Jesse Watters segment) as "former gang member."

seeing otherwise smart people share the story that a south carolina judge’s beach house was burned to the ground because of a ruling against trump despite there being no evidence of that has been frustrating. just because the other side has abandoned facts doesn’t mean we can, too.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 5d

Duke University is known as a relatively conservative place, compared with some other schools. But it has still been a focus for Trump officials who say it has allowed diversity policies they say break the law.

Duke Was Paring Back Diversity Programs. Trump Targeted It Anyway.

Duke University kept a low profile. But it is the alma mater of Stephen Miller, a top Trump official who often criticized the school while he was a student.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

This is the main reason the ADL originally existed, and now they’re giving it up entirely because it made some right-wingers upset. They are no longer pretending to be anything other than a pro-Israel advocacy group. And they are prioritizing Israelis above American Jews.

“ADL deletes Glossary of Extremism under pressure from conservatives over Charlie Kirk entry
The organization stands by a separate resource that describes Kirk’s Turning Point USA’s ties to ‘extremists’”
