Yes. It's just like Republican women who don't think "DEI" applies to them. There are Latinos who think they will be included, if they support white supremacy. And they won't be.
Before folks chime in with the obvious "but how can a Latino man like Enrique Tarrio be a white nationalist," it would be useful to read essays like this about the complicated nature of the emerging "multi-racial right." inthesetimes.com/article/mult...

It’s imperative the BBC fights Trump’s libel lawsuit in Florida and does not succumb to his bullying and settle out of court. Trump’s aim is to cow the media by abusing the US legal and regulatory systems to strangulate justified negative coverage of his unhinged presidency. This has to be stopped.

US and Venezuela both reportedly jamming GPS signals in the Caribbean now.
Escalating series of measures short of war can work only if there's a concrete, actionable demand. If you do X, we'll back off, stop doing Y, and won't start doing Z.
But there's no concrete US demand on Venezuela. At all.

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law?
I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

What Republicans are doing is projecting.
Everyone’s approach to leading politicians is worshipful cult-of-personality, where voters take it as a personal affront to themselves if the politician is held to the most basic standards of law and morality, right? Right?

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

For the very first time ever an Ukrainian drone attacked a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean Sea.
What makes it also interesting is that no USV was used but a grenade dropping drone.
The message is clear: no Russian tanker, no matter where, is safe.

Yep. Diversion of resources matters in the aggregate (even if it way too early to know whether it had any specific impact in this case). Drug trafficking and gun prosecutions are measurably down, for example.
