Christopher Gillum of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, a former police officer, was arrested in Destin, Florida for allegedly planning to carry out a mass shooting at a festival in New Orleans.
It's being reported that he was planning to target Black folks, presumably at Jazz Fest.

"Close your eyes or be chastised: those were the rules of 2021, when people were ostracized for grieving, slandered for sympathizing. A chorus clamoring for justice was seduced to silence by the sweet succor of a soft-focus death cult.
'It’s over,' people would say in 2021..."
Grifting. Always grifting.
Say and Quday, as well as Jared, have been hanging out in this small patch of the Balkans, and now The Guardian is breaking just a bit of what they're up to.
Last night, as Republicans started the partisan process to force through funding for unaccountable immigration enforcement agencies, @warren.senate.gov and I tried to push through a measure to create an independent watchdog to rein in ICE’s violence.
Her testimony would be a pack of lies, anyway.
Oversight Committee: "Maxwell is a monster. She was the enforcer. She facilitated, aided and abetted Epstein's crimes." Why won't Trump rule out a pardon for her?
Why are Republicans trying to pass another Big Ugly Bill 2.0 in the DARK OF NIGHT to fund ICE?
Here’s why ⬇️
Just talked with Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) about Congressional efforts to question Pam Bondi
Massie said he’s much more keen on getting Todd Blanche in front of Judiciary Cmte
Massie says Blanche “was the one pulling the strings” on Epstein files release
Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.
The correct way and the incorrect way
Steve Bannon’s advice for 2026: “nobody should give another penny [to the GOP]”
Cornyn, Lindsey Graham, John Thune. They’re all on his list. MAGA isn’t just split, it’s devouring itself.
This is a pretty outrageous development if true. Certainly, if Hegseth is ordering a Navy Secretary to ignore a court order (especially if the purpose is to seek to illegally punish an American hero for exercising his 1st Amendment rights), it is as clear an impeachable offense as imaginable.
The Epstein crisis is escalating.
Reports say Ghislaine Maxwell may be seeking a pardon as lawmakers demand answers from the DOJ over missing files and unanswered subpoenas.
This isn't going away.
Trump’s Secretary of the Navy was ousted on Wednesday, leaving a witch-fearing MAGA diehard in charge as the war with Iran hits a new phase.
Just between us: The fact that there is not 100 percent disapproval of Trump is a national failure of critical institutions (media, educational, clergy) that we ought to investigate and remedy.
Trump is fighting total war against wokeness as his eyes close and his mouth droops
What's weird about this is that Trump is under water on mental acuity with absolutely no mention of it by the media, like the @nytimes.com , except in a passing way. "Some people are saying again that Trump is sundowning" stories do not count, no.
Alex Jones spent years lying about Sandy Hook.
Now, the families who beat him in court just took down his entire empire.
InfoWars belongs to The Onion. Proceeds go to paying the families $1.5 billion! Justice is slow, but it’s sweet.
God, they're stupid.
If we vote every damn Republican out of office in the midterms, we can at least start changing the game.
Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."
Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."
A former tobacco executive quietly joined CDC senior leadership last month — a move raising concerns over the industry's influence over public health and revolving doors.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."
New: Kash Patel's FBI launched an unnecessary raid on the home of a former Capitol Police officer, based on Jan. 6 conspiracy theories from right-wing media outlet The Blaze.
NEW: Coalition of Jewish groups urges Colorado Republicans to reject MAGA podcaster Joe Oltmann's bid for state GOP chair, citing his "dangerous and repeated antisemitic rhetoric."
