Active Clubs are selling fascism as “fitness culture,” using wellness rhetoric to recruit young men into a global white nationalist network. GPAHE reports the movement has grown 25% since 2023, with 187 chapters across the world — a dangerous shift as radicalization embeds itself in everyday life.
Active Clubs: How the body has become a battleground for the far right
Active Clubs combine fitness and white nationalism, transforming the body into a tool for radicalization and normalizing far right ideology as part of everyday life.

Rabbiatu is a nurse who worked during COVID, had been in the U.S. 30 years. A judge ordered that she could not be sent back to Sierra Leone for her safety, for fear of torture (!). So our evil regime sent her to Ghana (in shackles), and Ghana dragged her back to Sierra Leone.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post.

We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does.

Our members keep getting papers.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Trump can barely fog a mirror, his approval is in the toilet and other institutions have showed that bending the knee only brings them back for more but standing up to them often gets results.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Here's how Trump turned the presidency into a personal piggybank:

-Charging millions for access at Mar-a-Lago.
-Trump Wines sold in Coast Guard exchanges.
-$300M in private donations for a WH ballroom.
-23 Trump properties developed abroad while in office.

Should we go on?

Legacy media is a major part of the problem. Stop taking these outlets seriously as reasonable chroniclers of our time. They ultimately are all just mouthpieces for the billionaire class.

Whatever the rhetoric, it *always* comes back to the emoluments, the corrupt personal gain, the tr*mp branded properties, and…his fawning please-like-me affinity for brutal dictators. Good thread.
President Trump said he plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns from national security officials that it could help China steal the technology.

When Saudi Arabia gets things it wants, it’s worth remembering Trump’s business conflicts in the country… 🧵

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.
