In a normal campaign, this would have dominated the weekend’s news.

I wrote about @gregsargent.bsky.social’s scoop about the Christian nationalist GOP nominee for NC Gov calling for murder of his political enemies:

‘Some folks need killing’: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | ‘Some folks need killing’: North Carolina Lt. Gov takes Christian nationalism to dangerous low
Mark Robinson’s newly explicit calls for killing perceived enemies show how seamlessly Christian nationalists can glide into promoting real violence.

I’d appreciate it if you could all like and reply to this so the BS team know that this is something that we all want to prevent the trolls.
@pfrazee.com this is why we need accounts that can be locked. Someone harasses a user and then laughs in their face and tells them that if they get banned they will just add another account. I appreciate that this user has been removed but it isn’t enough.

Call it the Manning Formula.

We’ve now seen it work twice in Canada.

Nigel Farage says Preston Manning has been a “huge” influence on his plans for the UK Reform party. @djclimenhaga.bsky.social writes. 🇬🇧

Labour won, but Farage’s Reform credits Preston Manning’s ‘huge’ guidance for its plans to take over the wounded Conservative Party.

When I was younger, conservatives believed the slightest alteration to the American flag was literally criminal.

And now it’s an adult coloring book they use to soothe themselves from the latest Boomer FaceBook atrocity
Old enough to remember when the most important issue facing us (according to conservatives) was respect/treatment of the flag, so I guess they'd lose their shit at it being hung upside down molested by a lacquer-faced lunatic, used on a pole to beat up up cops, and turned into whatever that is.

The bill was ultimately vetoed by Gov. Ryan. The late, great Bob Molaro spoke against the bill, questioning the wisdom of creating so many special classes of victims.

The late Pate Philip also opposed the bill, because he thought sometimes it was OK to punch referees.
