Three months after neo-Nazis carried out a deadly shooting in San Diego, #Florida white supremacists who idolized Hitler + mass murderers such as Brenton Tarrant, who massacred over 50 at a mosque in New Zealand, were arrested with weapons + explosive materials. theemancipator.org/2026/08/24/i...

“A group of women in Oakland, California, decided they needed to lament publicly. They were displaced by the extreme spikes in rent. They had nowhere to live. They were losing their community while the apartments sat empty. They decided that they needed to be heard….” (1)

Rep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵

Molly explains in Pt 6: The 2nd & 3rd waves of the KKK adopted the practice of cross-burning because that’s what they saw Klansmen do in the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation… Large crosses were burned as a tool of intimidation…. 20 counties in Mississippi saw cross burnings in one night in Aug. 1963

Talked to some people who wandered by. As usual, nobody knew what happened here. But two people, Darden school students, wanted to know more. So I told them. And we talked for 30 minutes. And they ended up writing this: the first time any passer-by has written anything.

The Mall crossings are once again open & many drivers are once again failing to obey the stop signs or yield to pedestrians. The city should close them permanently—for public safety & for the symbolic statement that on the Mall, if nowhere else, people are more important than cars. But here we are.
