Fascism isn't politics. What happened yesterday was horrific, bon't let the proximity of yesterday's horror sane-wash a white supremacist who stoked racism, homophobia, misogyny, and white genocide panic, and advocated for a trans genocide. Or in the words of Warren Zevon, "Don't let us get stupid."

Bogus Ukraine Summit (in 2 parts)
1) Trump wants to deflect from the Epstein scandal, and he wants Putin’s help in destroying the US election system. Putin wants all of Ukraine. That’s what they talked about in Alaska.

Everyone should be making noise about this huge media scandal in the New York Times. While Trump makes money off of frivolous lawsuits against CBS, ABC, etc, the Times is getting away with an anti-Mamdani hit job fed to them by a far right ‘race science’ guy, who they kept anonymous!

The paper granted the source of the hacked documents anonymity. That person is a known enthusiast of race science.

This story elevates "Great Replacement Theory" without ever naming it. Also no mention of white supremacy, though every source for the piece was a person or org arranged around white genocide panic—anti-immigrant, anti-queer, anti-IVF, & pro-white women home having babies.
