There have literally been thousands of rightwing kidnappings, countless events of property destruction, armed menacing & a number of killings. No need for lone wolves or cells when you control the state.
Quoted here sharing my reservations about a study that says right-wing terror attacks are down — the frameworks of terrorism aren’t well suited to size up the threat of political violence and can give people the wrong impression if they don’t understand how they work

www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Right-wing terror attacks plunged in 2025, while left-wing attacks ticked up: study
From 2011 through 2024, an average of 20 right-wing terror incidents took place each year, compared to an average of nearly three left-wing incidents annually.

US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it

CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

i learned this trick from a neapolitan tailor about 15 years ago. if you put cuffs into your trousers, ask your alterations tailor to put buttonholes into the seams and attach buttons. this way, you can unbutton your cuffs and brush out debris.

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

This is my favorite thing I've read in the past week. We typically discuss the job market as it relates to those searching to land a job. But even those *with* jobs feel unsettled and disillusioned, and are planning a raft for when our ship sinks

Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.

a study showing the efficacy of progesterone for breast growth has finally come out perhaps some people can stop falsely accusing the rest of us of spreading medical misinformation just because they downplay the value of anecdotal evidence in the absence of such studies
Adding progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy improves breast growth for transgender people
The addition of the hormone progesterone to gender-affirming hormone therapy leads to increased breast growth for transgender people following feminising hormone therapy.

Guardsmen have a choice to make:

If you show up here, you'll have disgraced your uniform and tarnished your service, which you should no longer expect to be thanked for.

To be sure, saying "I won't do that" isn't an easy or consequence-free choice. But it's one you'll be judged on.
Q: “Have you made your mind up on Chicago?”

Trump: “We're going in. I didn't say when. We're going in.”

Fascism is an ideology of weakness and fear. It isn’t strong, it’s inherently fragile.

Trump and company’s actions originate from their own pathetic, self-loathing projected onto the world. The cruelty, the oppression, the war making, is all a disguise

White Christian Taliban shit right here.

Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area.
If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

In retrospect you really begin to empathize with the church fathers who argued over whether Jesus was begotten or made. Let a little heresy slide and suddenly everyone starts denying the Beatitudes.
