I didn’t expect people to care about this one because we have the “spook” conversion every year. It was humbling and amazing to see so many people read this and take it to heart. horrorpress.com/editorials/1...

It’s officially Halloween season, and a great time to remind everyone that the word “spook” is a slur. Like many words and phrases in the English language, racists did what they do best and ruined it....

How many students were kicked off their campuses for protesting this stuff? It's not just the psychotic openly genocidal propaganda, it's that the people in power in the US made it so that if you criticize this openly, your life could be destroyed.

Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.

There’s a movie called The Grey Zone that is based on this history. It’s a very dark film but definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. It has a good cast.

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

In an unconfirmed livestream video of the mass shooting, the shooters appear to both be wearing black sun (nazi) patches and AWD (atomwaffen division) patches. Writings on the gun include the logo for the nazi accelerationst group The Base, the numbers 14 and 88, TND, and the othala rune.

A Court that claims to be skeptical of “judicial tinkering” with elections has no problem allowing Republicans to stack the deck—even in states where voting is already underway.

If your entire political strategy depends on shaming people into voting for candidates who OPENLY BETRAY THEIR STATED VALUES, maybe the problem isn’t the voters. Maybe your Party is hollow, arrogant, and morally bankrupt. Absolute death cult behavior.

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.

A year later, Elon Musk has stepped back from politics just enough to diminish his negative press coverage. But he is still out there doing tremendous harm. Don't forget how he made a Nazi salute—twice—at Trump's inauguration. Don't forget the budget cuts that killed nearly a million people.

Homelessness isn't eradicated not because it's too expensive, but because the rich and powerful want poor workers to see what will happen to them if they pass up their subsistence jobs. Homelessness is a visible threat to those at the margins not to ask for more.
