Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Molly does hands-down the best reporting on the crypto industry. Shining a light on blatant corruption may seem quaint and inconsequential right now, but it will make a difference. It's important to have a record of the grift, and you can play a role by supporting her investigative work.
