‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

We Analyzed 300 Texas Accounts on a White Supremacist Dating Site. The Data Explains a Lot About Politics Right Now. About the state of extremism in the U.S.

We analyzed the data leak from White Date, a white supremacist dating site, with an eye for what it could tell us about Texas politics. We found that Texas users included multiple neo-fascist activists, as well as former and active duty military members, and more.

As a talking head in a streaming documentary series in 2024, I wasn’t allowed (by the streamer; director similarly constrained) to mention Trump. Back in 2019, Netflix PR told me to avoid politics & religion in interviews about THE FAMILY, which is about politics & religion.

How extremists reconquered Idaho in the age of Trump—and how some locals are fighting back “Who the fuck are these men?”

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.

This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.

My investigation:

MAGA bootlickers like Nick Sortor and Andy Ngo are trying to penetrate your communications in a protest and ferry that info to a corrupt FBI.

We made a short, evergreen podcast to help people use signal on the streets during a protest:

A federal security contractor that received millions from the Department of Agriculture hired notorious Patriot Front enforcer Ian Michael Elliott to work security patrols for the US Forest Service last year.

Alex Pretti & Renee Good were killed by members of DHS tactical teams. I went long on ICE/CBP's 'Special Response Team' & BORTAC, Homeland Security's paramilitary units that are now using SOCOM-style tactics & firepower for civil immigration enforcement & protest suppression

fun fact the military didn't look into this at all when they were studying tear gas back in the 1960s

but in addition to stuff like irregular periods, there's evidence tear gas exposure can be linked to miscarriage

more than enough data to suggest caution

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Bellingcat community members have already found two files detailing explicit allegations that President Trump engaged in sexual activities with children.

One file is an FBI complaint form and the other is an FBI email chain.

Worth noting that Collins, a moral cretin, is also an Air Force Reserve chaplain—has been for decades. He’s a fine example of the sort of chauvinistic zealot the conservative movement worked to fill military chaplaincies with, and now he gets to denigrate vets as Secretary, too.

Third angle shows Alex Pretti yet more clearly deescalating. As goon attacks woman, Pretti tries to shield, pulling his left arm back so it can't be misconstrued as restraint, raising right hand open. Sprayed in face. Turns away, shielding woman; he's swarmed, on knees trying to curl in protection.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.
