It’s shocking to me how many people are capable of identifying state-sanctioned bigotry when they encounter it in a history book, but cannot recognize it at all when they encounter it in a newspaper. 3569105
Reposted by Josh SmartWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Also it’s time for the news to stop treating this administration’s racist war against Somalis as “Trump being Trump.” They targeted Minneapolis because they hate an ethnic group here, and now they’re targeting the most prominent political figure in that group with thinly rationalized state violence. 121381311

Reposted by Josh SmartBrandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop.
