1/ For no particular reason whatsoever here in NC, we'd like to highlight a couple members of A Killing Tradition, based in central Florida. Self-described as a "Shock Rock Supergroup," their shows draw crowds teeming with national socialists, racist boneheads, and other white power gang members.

🚨 MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🚨
A good friend on the West Coast has been going through some health issues and needs rent assistance this upcoming month. If you can spare a few bucks, it would help out a whole lot. (I personally vouch for this fundraiser and would really appreciate a boost.)

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.
Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

"Since Nix’s arrest, three members of Terrorgram have been arrested, and the U.S. State Department has named the group as a specially designated global terrorist entity."

Judge: “any motion regarding the substantial assistance of the defendant must be filed under seal” prior to sentencing."

Thomas Rousseau, leader of white nationalist Patriot Front, spoke at a vigil for Charlie Kirk in Fort Worth, Texas over the weekend. This is the first time I'm aware of that Rousseau and his loyalists did not attend a rally wearing Patriot Front's trademark uniform. They feel emboldened. 1/3

When I write in articles that these guys are “preparing for violence against their perceived enemies” with all their little ‘fight night’ events, this is why
Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

It seems like we're experiencing a sort of rerun of the political violence of the 1960s—except this time we have the internet cooking everyone's brains. None of this leads anywhere good.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

There's a desperate attempt to portray the MN school shooter as something other than reality.

Here are facts: Robin Westman showed racist and antisemitic slogans and was inspired by far-right killers like Anders Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, Robert Bowers, and Tim McVeigh.

bsky.app/profile/dbur...
After showing his guns emblazoned with racial slurs, far-right slogans, Minneapolis shooting suspect displayed a message "Hail Breivik. Hail Brenton."

Neo-Nazi Anders Breivik killed 77 in Norway in 2011. Brenton Tarrant killed 51 in shootings at 2 mosques in New Zealand in 2019.

Very concerning that mass shooters are starting to adopt a style of "shitposting" that combines the aesthetics of Tarrant-style Nazism with a self-aware, terminally-online-zoomer nihilism. Nothing in these manifestos (or written on AR-15s) should be taken literally.
