Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

El Salvador ratcheted its incarceration rates up to levels staggering *even by US standards.* They currently have a rate more than DOUBLE our 2009 peak. But that wasn't apparently the main driver of its homicide decline. It was a deal with MS13. Or at the very least, mass prison wasn't enough.
A long-running US investigation of MS-13 has uncovered evidence at odds with Bukele’s reputation as a crime fighter. The inquiry, which began as an effort to dismantle the gang’s leadership, expanded to focus on whether the Bukele government cut a secret deal with MS-13 in the early years of his presidency.

New reporting on that investigation by ProPublica shows that senior officials in Bukele’s government repeatedly impeded the work of a US task force as it pursued evidence of possible wrongdoing by the Salvadoran president and his inner circle.

Bukele’s allies secretly blocked extraditions of gang leaders whom US agents viewed as potential witnesses to the negotiations and persecuted Salvadoran law enforcement officials who helped the task force, according to exclusive interviews with current and former US and Salvadoran officials, newly obtained internal documents and court records from both countries.

In a previously unreported development, federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted US aid funds to the gang as part of the alleged deal to provide it with money and power in exchange for votes and reduced homicide rates. In 2021, agents drew up a request to review US bank accounts held by Salvadoran political figures to look for evidence of money laundering related to the suspected diversion of US funds. The list of names assembled by the agents included Bukele, senior officials and their relatives, according to documents viewed by ProPublica.Please use drop down menu 1 to choose the category of data you wish to view, and press 'Go' to load category page.

Nationalist militia groups are calling on members to get involved and help Trump “swiftly and forcefully put down this Chicano insurrection,” otherwise “brown hordes will be emboldened across the country.”
If Trump doesn't swiftly and forcefully put down this Chicano insurrection, America is essentially over. June 2025 will be the month that history books point back to as the date that The United States as we know it began to unravel. If Trump falters on his execution, these brown hordes will be emboldened across the country. This is his moment.

It is more important now than ever to get involved with your local Nationalists. If you already are involved, make it to the next event.

Tribe and train has become a ubiquitous statement in this movement but it is worth repeating now.
