Ah yes, the media-buried tale of the racist, gun-loving, girl-hating teen terrorist.

When it came out, I screencapped his parents' FB pages, not sure if they're still up.

Gunner lived with an arsenal & his parents: a gun-obsessed, feminist-hating, ultraMAGA dad & church-lady, Bible teacher mom.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

My god...the succinct big picture of Elon Musk, JD Vance, Peter Thiel & their guru Curtis Yarvin, who preaches "The Dark Enlightenment"--that the "outdated software" of democracy must be replaced with a corporate monarchy & CEO dictator. By @jonsneider.bsky.social .

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

“Trying to appeal to a voter who will congratulate you for scolding a member of your own party for peacefully protesting fascism is a losing game because that voter does not exist.”

Democrats who censured Rep. Al Green are as clueless as they are feckless.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

A terrorist attack in TN was just thwarted.

Media silence.

Why? He's a rightwing domestic terrorist, a racist, gun-obsessed man living with an arsenal, Bible teacher mom & gun-obsessed MAGA dad who hates feminists, trans & Dems.

(I screencapped parents' FB).

ABC paying $15 million to Trump for George S repeating what the judge in E Jean Carroll case said is completely irrational as a legal matter.

It only makes sense as an effort to preserve access to Trump and the White House

Russia is pulling out of Syria now that Assad has been defeated. Will they do the same in the United States if Republicans are lose badly enough in the midterms?

And both times, Time accompanies it with a story blasting the person. It was no honor for either. It's a stupidly confusing tradition that most people incorrectly think is always an honor.

So amused by semi-literate Trump & MAGAs again gloating he's Person of the Year by Time...who again tears him to SHREDS.

I've excerpted the very long piece's biggest hits.

Time names a person of influence "for better or worse," incl other monsters like Hitler, Putin, Stalin & Khomeini.

Christian nationalists have set their sights on a remote Tennessee county, hoping to attract like-minded people from across the country as part of their efforts to “radicalize Main Street.”

If you voted for Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion and humanity.

I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason and fascism.

So will others. So will history.

A profound & true message from John Stoehr at The Editorial Board:

"we now know...that it can happen here. Authoritarianism has arrived, & it came with a flag & a Bible...

They want you to feel isolated & afraid & small...

EVERY ACT OF JOY IS AN ACT OF DEFIANCE."
