NEW: Midterm polling for Trump and the GOP has been historically bad. So, obviously, it must be a PSYOP www.wired.com/story/electi...

The Republican candidate for secretary of state in Colorado, a position that will oversee the 2028 presidential election, is James Wiley, an election denier. James has also given himself a nickname: The Red Flame of Liberty™️ www.wired.com/story/hundre...

During the 2022 midterms, Trump promoted True the Vote's 2000 Mules film as "evidence" that the 2020 election was stolen. Now the group is back with a new documentary, Trapped, which will once again claim the 2020 election was stolen Here's the trailer: www.wired.com/story/the-gr...

There are a lot of messages and AI-generated posters being shared in WhatsApp groups and social media platforms related to potential protests in Belfast tonight, with some telling those attending to “wear dark clothing and be prepared to fight or be arrested." They also don't seem to want vloggers

Unsurprisingly, Elon Musk is already weighing into the debate around the horrific incident in Belfast last night, the video of which is being widely circulated on X and in far-right WhatsApp groups in the UK and Ireland. Musk is even approving calls for politicians to face "consequences"

While many others prevaricated about what remigration was, Jared Taylor, one of the grandees of the US white supremacist movement, was clear it was about the protection of white people. “We used to be a country that was 90 percent European. Now whites are headed for minority status." 6/12

Bovino was one of many Americans in Porto Another was Stefano Forte, president of the NY Young Republicans, who was surrounded by a cadre of other Young Republicans acting as bodyguards His speech leant heavily on classical allusions, and even referenced the Ship of Theseus paradox 5/12

The organizers clearly didn't understand how American law enforcement works, as the screen behind Bovino during his speech called him "ICE Border Patrol Commander" Bovino had just told journalists outside he had nothing to do with ICE 4/12

Fuel protests in Ireland have been coopted by the far-right and clowns like Anthony Casey are inflaming the situation further on social media and in WhatsApp groups, by claiming the "Irish state are gearing up" (*Ireland does not currently own any of the tanks Casey shows in this YouTube thumbnail)

This post suggesting Proud Boy leader Tarrio is an ICE agent is getting traction but please don't share it. If he is an ICE agent then he's not been showing up to work lately —just look at his X account This so-called leaked ICE list has not been verified, so please don't share until it is.
