Trump’s War on History includes creating utterly wrong maps for the America 250 commemoration. Literally nothing is right in this map.
J.D. Vance is the ol’ political kiss of death.

This is like the time Benny and Charlie and Jack vowed to go hunt Nazis and got no further than the mirror.
New: I wrote about how the SPLC let union breaking and fear of MAGA drive it away from its own civil rights principles.
After I spoke up about Gaza, the SPLC disciplined me and terminated my employment—leading to a discrimination settlement: substack.com/home/post/p-...
@leahsottile.bsky.social's latest story on what meets the definition of terrorism and what does not in this moment is worth your time.
However, it also means that I—a fourth-generation native whose family helped build the state—will not be stepping foot back there, because my transgender son will face possible incarceration just for existing. I will not spend a dime in a state that legalizes hatred against my child.
Bianco is a CSPOA “constitutional“ sheriff. These guys are menaces to the public and to democracy.

My skepticism about his previous apology now fully justified.

Thousands & thousands of words about how people view liberals & liberal policies and -- unless I missed it -- not a single, solitary word about media or the information environment. Just remarkable. Like performance art or something.
That’s roughly equal to the distance requirement in U.S. waters,fwiw.

Tucker claimed that Fetterman‘s win was evidence of Democratic election fraud. That they won despite ”mentally defective candidates who can barely speak.” (Exactly how Warnock fit that description was unclear, though it’s not hard to guess.)
Anyone remember when Republicans couldn’t stop mocking John Fetterman after his stroke? And how the only people defending him were Democrats? It’s obvious that Fetterman himself has no such recollection—and no integrity. From Nov. 2022:

In other words, a very precise case of right-wing projection. The Nativists have, since the 1990s, falsely accused immigrants of committing fraud by taking welfare and generally getting benefits without paying into the system. In reality, they pay $97 billion annually for which they receive nada.

The leader of the violent neo-Nazi group whose members were the "victims" in this San Diego case was a donor to and supporter of the DA, Summer Stephan, who owes her career to the (literal) neo-Nazi former chairman of the San Diego GOP, Tony Krvaric (whose sons were both Patriot Front recruits).
The War on History: Fighting Back in Bellevue | The (suburban Seattle) college's mural installation depicting the city's history as an immigrant Japanese Community is a long-overdue racial reckoning with our white-supremacist forebears, writes @davidneiwert.bsky.social. READ: tinyurl.com/ytb9256k
A mural on the Bellevue College campus depicting the city’s heritage as an immigrant community became a center of controversy in 2020 when an administrator censored references to the city’s white-supremacist past. Now it’s coming back as a permanent installation.

The far right's bullshitting heroes: Before there was Trump, there was Bo Gritz
Bo Gritz died quietly and mostly forgotten last week. But the legacy of his deeply fascist action-hero ethos--especially the militia movement he led, which eventually morphed into MAGA--not only lives on, but now dominates our world.

Does this remind anyone else of the four hours Trump spent watching the Jan. 6 violence unfold before he called it off and sent in the National Guard?
Trump is clearly hoping that Iran does in fact attack Americans on U.S. soil so that he can have a pretext for declaring martial law.
