Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false:

Heritage Foundation Uses Bogus Stat to Push a Trans Terrorism Classification

By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, Heritage promotes a false link between transgender identity and violence in its push for the FBI to create a new terrorism category.

12/n Anyone who works on terrorism will tell you that coding can be tricky business. Having done a lot of it, I agree. However, this study is not only methodologically flawed, but far more egregiously, presents a *highly* distorted characterization of what is happening right now.

Since Antifa is now designed as a terrorist organization it will be interesting to see how they determine who is a member and how they prove it is an organization.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

Please read this book.

It was an insurrection. They fully intended to stop the counting of votes and install Trump. That was in fact Trump’s plan.

I’m an analyst. When the weight of evidence points to a conclusion, I follow it. There are just too many Groyper calling cards in the evidence here. (Especially with the bullet casings and the Pepe stuff.) Not to mention his familial background and how he was raised.

A. All the rivers in California empty into the Pacific too. It has zero effect on the ability to fight fires.

B. There never has been nor ever will be a workable plan to transport PNW river water to California.

C. What “tiny fish” is being protected? The only fish we protect are salmon.

Trump on LA: "They lost 25,000 houses to fires because they didn't have the water come down from the Pacific Northwest. They have a lot of water but they send it out into Pacific to protect a little tiny fish which did very badly when it didn't have any water, by the way."
