🚨The media is not making a big enough deal about Marjorie Taylor Greene’s racist dog whistle attacks against Black Representative Jamaal Bowman, saying he’s “aggressive” and physically intimidating.
Language like that by white women has gotten Black men killed and she knows it.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Nearly three dozen police deputies have been ordered to come in for questioning to show their tattoos.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department is attempting to root out any officers who are members of deputy gangs.
The officers must also give up the names of any other deputies similarly sporting ink connecting them to the gangs.
The demand came Friday in a letter sent by county Inspector General Max Huntsman to 35 deputies suspected of being members of either the Executioners, which operates out of the Compton station, or the Banditos, which operates out of the East L.A. station.
The names of the deputies have not been released to the public, but Huntsman said they were a subset of the 41 deputies he identified as suspected gang members last year.
“The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department conducted incomplete internal affairs investigations into the Banditos and Executioners, failing to identify all members.
This is a great start.
Police departments all over America should also look for
-Proud Boy tattoos
-Oath Keeper tattoos
-white supremacy symbols
Hopefully this is just the beginning.

Remember, this is also the week we learned Ron DeSantis is diverting state pension and investment funds into private equity firms that -- wait for it -- donate to his campaign.
Firms described as having "low performance and high fees."

What are Jim Jordan's congressional accomplishments over the last 16 years?
That's a tough question. I mean, he has accomplished a lot of things, like:
- Wearing a jacket only when absolutely necessary
- Yelling at witnesses during hearings
- Spreading conspiracy theories about the 2020 election
- Being one of Donald Trump's most loyal defenders
- Getting sued by former wrestlers for ignoring sexual abuse allegations
So yeah, he has been very busy and productive. I'm sure his constituents are proud of him.

DeSantis is busy engaging in culture wars with the largest employer in the state, knee-capping its agriculture and construction industries, and ensuring that its students get the least-comprehensive education possible. Doesn't seem very business-friendly to me. Not that Republicans are ever good at anything they get credit for.

“Walt Disney Co. has canceled its plan to open a new Florida campus that would’ve relocated some 2,000 employees to the state, a change that comes as the company is engaged in a long brawl with the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis,” the Los Angeles Times reports.
The New York Times reports Disney is also “pulling the plug on a nearly $1 billion office complex that was scheduled for construction in Orlando.”
#VotingAge25 In social media timeframes this is old news but:
Republican candidate for President suggests raising the voting age to 25. That’s one way to remove a demographic that tends not to like you: The test includes an essay about why I love the GOP. Don’t fail it, lol.

@TonyStark if you’re a thinking feeling human you never, and I mean NEVER, want to be on the same side as people who categorize anyone different from them as ‘the other’ and want to punish them for being so. We should all call that what it is. That’s pure fascism. You just have to read history to understand this, but therein lies part of the problem with many Americans.

Five years ago, the lives of eight young people and two teachers were stolen in one of the deadliest school shootings in history.
Jill and I keep them close in our hearts today.
Congress must act. Our kids, educators, school officials – and all Americans – deserve nothing less.

So CNN want to boost the same fascism as FOX, just to a more socially respectable, wealthier, and much better dressed kind of fascist.
They want the mid-wealthy, mostly-white, QUIET closet fascists making a hundred-grand or more to watch their version of reality, and ads. Not the old frumps living on pre-spent retirement, or the yokel welfare base that Republicans created that then built-up FOX and MAGA.
Those folks aren't growth.

The US government isn't weaponized against conservatives.
It's weaponized against dictators.
It's weaponized against our enemies abroad.
It's weaponized against anyone who would overthrow the government.
When I was growing up, we called that PATRIOTISM.

BREAKING: Jim Jordan's "whistleblowers" got their federal security clearances REVOKED for refusing to perform their law enforcement duties by investigating January 6.
These aren't whistleblowers, they are insurrection sympathizers who have broken their oaths to America.

@Huntn00 @flexghost Fun fact: American intelligence services recruit heavily among Mormons because they are seen to have fewer issues with addiction, are patriotic and have strong family ties.
Let’s see how that works out for us!
