Creepy Nazi Mike Johnson says fascist republicans will do “exactly what we have been doing” if they retain their disastrous control of the House. Meaning they’ll continue their destruction of the United States. Mike isn’t a Speaker, he’s a terrorist and he can fuck all the way off to a jail cell.

The Untold Story of The Elaine Massacre of 1919
This week marks the 107th anniversary of the Elaine Massacre of 1919, where white mobs hunted and killed Black sharecroppers who simply wanted fair cotton prices.

By

Angela Wilson

Published

September 28, 2026

HELENA, AK – SEPTEMBER 29: On the 100 year anniversary of the Elaine racial massacre, a memorial dedication is held for the public on September 29, 2019 in downtown Helena, Arkansas. In 1919, hundreds of African Americans were murdered after local cotton farmers tried to collectively sell their crops for a fairer price in New England. Many locals in Elaine want a memorial to be built in the town where the massacre happened, not in the local county seat where it was plotted. (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis vi.a Getty Images)

The bot fused together open-source intelligence with secret signals intelligence in government holdings and reached its fateful conclusion about the material the ship was carrying.

The analyst then used AI again to package the findings into a standard intelligence report — the kind that is trusted by military officials — and disseminated it.
