Gift Link abt McCarthy Revivalists [The conservative media personality Ann Coulter, in her 2003 book, Treason, made the case that McCarthy had been right that the government was crawling with Communists, and that the greater problem was that Democrats “didn’t give a damn” about Soviet infiltration]
“Conservative influencers are pushing for a return to the dark days of 1950s inquisitions.”

Why didn’t you know this? Platner lies in reporters’ faces but no one fact-checks him. When his Nazi tattoo was first reported, he ran to Tommy Vietor’s podcast for damage control. He told his false leaving-the-Marines story; Vietor laughed with him. No hard questions for your buddies. 6/
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
The Pentagon is building National Guard “quick reaction forces” for U.S. cities — troops “trained for civil unrest and rapid deployment.”
The timeline most people missed:
They’re expected to be operational by April 2026. A few weeks from now.
US senator seeks perjury investigation into Kristi Noem over DHS spending.

That thing must have been oozing for about three months.
It's not something you wake up the next day after a drunk party night.

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
If y’all think I’ve gone in on this guy, then do what these people said & imagine what Collins will do to him with this thread alone.
Support Janet Mills.

Bill Clinton has a call to action at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:
"You have to ask yourself 'what did Jesse Jackson do that I admire most, that moved me most, and what can I do right now that would maybe be as good as what he did then?' That's what we're all facing here."
circa min 13 but you do not want to miss out on Pres Obama either, so...

‘Greed and Bigotry!’ Obama Goes OFF on Trump at Jesse Jackson’s Funeral
People keep acting like Democrats need to tolerate a little dash of paranoid antisemitism if they want to reach the salt of the earth hoi polloi, but the reality is that paranoid antisemitism is more natively the politics of downwardly mobile scions of privilege, like Platner for example.
“Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” by Harry Styles is a remarkably consistent album dead-set on evoking mood without sacrificing music, while referencing dance-punk bands like LCD Soundsystem as well as Berlin nightclub culture, writes AP Maria Sherman.
❌ Trump didn't say in October 2024, “I can tell you you’re not going to have a war with Iran with me as president.” Here's what he actually said: www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...
Since the war began, #Russia has passed #Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships/aircraft, said 3 officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
(#Russia is intentionally driving up the price of oil to #India and #China.)

scuse me:

Trump on Iran:
Unconditional surrender could be that [the Iranians] announce it.
But it could also be when they can't fight any longer because they don't have anyone or anything to fight with.

An estimated 300,000 US businesses still have no idea if or when they will receive refunds.
Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.
