Proud Boys welcome journalistic mistakes because they reinforce their accelerationist aim of undermining trust in the media.

You don’t need deep expertise on the group to understand why avoiding those errors matters, but I have it, and I’m saying it does.
The indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE

Dear G-d,

You put this brain in this body, so I assume you had a plan. We’ll figure it out. 😂

‎“And The Angels Sing,” is a Hasidic ניגו (a wordless Jewish melody sung without lyrics) smuggled into swing by Benny Goodman and Ziggy Elman. It moves like a memory: exile → joy → remembering → dancing anyway.

I think a lot about how opposing Nazism should be the absolute lowest bar of basic human decency, and how even stating that out loud gave outright predators the chance to cosplay moral concern they’ve never actually practiced.

There’s a lot of useful information here. I wrote it to stand the test of time.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be happy when the world is burning and freezing all at once. Do what you can and do what you need so you can keep going.

Speaking up for Palestine is not the issue. Targeting Jews under the pretext of doing so is. That sleight of hand,using moral language to justify collective blame or harassment, is one of the most insidious forms of antisemitism.
