AN 9 26

An exclusive Talking Points Memo investigation by Christopher Mathias reports that a Republican candidate for House District 10 in Florida was photographed marching with white supremacists at the infamous Charlottesville, Virginia, rally that left one woman dead and 35 injured.

Marshall Rawson attended the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally alongside members of the League of the South, which is a white nationalist, neo-Confederate organization.

TPM spotted Rawson and his wife arriving at the rally in archived video footage. They're greeted by fellow members of the League. Footage and photographs reviewed by the outlet reportedly place him carrying a League of the South flag and marching with neo-Nazis, including James Alex Fields Jr. He was the man who later killed counterprotester Heather Heyer by driving his car into a crowd of people.

Rawson has never denounced the League of the South, apologized for his participation in the violent rally or spoken out against many of the people he marched with.

The League has a documented history of white supremacist, antisemitic, anti-immigrant, homophobic and secessionist advocacy, and its leaders have openly promoted the idea of a white ethnostate in the South, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center's database of hate groups.

TPM cited a 2025 Facebook post in which Rowson claimed, “I am happy to talk about my past advocacy and activism on any issue. I am also proud of the advocacy work that I have been involved with for the past 13 years.”

Rawson's ideology is a close match to the League's values, particularly when it comes to LGBTQ people. A 2023 statement from him, cited by TPM, expressed his support for the death penalty for gay people in Uganda.

“This is how you would run the pervs and miscreants out of Florida," he said.

“A one-way ticket to no more sexualizing of children and the LGBTQ+ agenda in Florida!” he added.

The investigation by TPM alleged that "there are indications Rawson may have still felt the need to operate a pseudonymous social media account where he could express even more extreme sentiments. There are several data points linking an X account that posted from 2017 to 2020 under the handle 'RockOfDixie' to Rawson. Some of the posts from this account compiled by researcher ShermanMarching seem to have since been deleted, and the account’s most recent post is from 2020."

The account "features a bodybuilder flexing on stage," which is the same image in an online gallery of photos from the 2016 National Physique Committee’s Galaxy Championships. The researcher found that the bodybuilder in the image was identified at that time as Marshall Rawson. He finished fourth out of six.

One of the policies he advocated for is to bring back lynchings.

“Multiculturalism kills and public lynchings worked," said the "RockOfDixie" account.

Fellow League of the South members have opened their checkbooks in support, TPM found. So far, he's received more than $15,000 from dozens of people the report said are tied to the League of the South, neo-Nazi circles, white nationalist groups or other extremist activism.

One of the donors is a former Klan lawyer, and others also attended the Charlottesville riot. When asked about it, Rawson said he doesn't "screen" his donors or their views before he takes their money.

Rawson won the August Republican primary by just over 2,000 votes and is widely expected to win the November general election in the heavily conservative district. TPM argues that his candidacy illustrates how ideas once associated with fringe white-nationalist groups have gained a greater foothold within Republican politics.

Neither the Florida GOP nor the national Republican Party responded to TPM’s requests for comment.

CTR-ATTACK

AN TC 8 26 SEE DOJ 3 FOR COLOR

In April 2026, a federal grand jury returned indictments charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The indictment alleges the SPLC, a nonprofit legal advocacy group, secretly funneled more than US$3 million in donated funds to people associated with violent extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations.

Prosecutors allege that the SPLC secretly paid members of those groups to act as confidential informants without telling donors. Eight informants received the money between 2014 and 2023, according to U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche.

The SPLC has denied the charges and seeks their dismissal, with lawyers for the group adding that the charges constitute “vindictive prosecution.” The SPLC’s interim president, Bryan Fair, has stated that the informant program “saved lives” and reflected decades of dangerous civil rights work.

Critics of the prosecution at Lawfare, a media site focused on the U.S. legal system, argued that the indictment is among “the most cynical criminal cases ever brought by the Department of Justice.” They noted that the SPLC had no legal duty to disclose the confidential nature of its informant program to donors.

Within hours of the Justice Department’s indictment, I found that white supremacist influencers on Telegram, Gab and other social platforms were celebrating the arraignment. They portrayed the charges as proof that journalists and civil rights groups documenting extremist movements could no longer be trusted.

The indictment became a rallying point to discredit not only the SPLC but the wider body of research on hate groups and political extremism. I believe that these narratives will be used to help justify increasingly radical and, in some cases, violent responses.

Ideological ammunition

Some conservative advocacy groups and right-wing media outlets – including Moms for Liberty and the Daily Signal – immediately stripped the indictment of its legal context. In online posts, they recast it as established proof that the SPLC had been deliberately creating extremist activity rather than investigating it.

A Telegram search I conducted on May 6 identified 22 posts mentioning the SPLC across at least six white nationalist channels. Most appeared within 72 hours of the indictment. The posts did not engage in sustained discussion. They repeated a small set of claims.

The Super Sincere Alpha GOONMAXXING Aryan Sigma Patriot channel wrote: “The SPLC is a hate group.”

Other channels cited the indictment as proof that the SPLC had been paying sources to manufacture the very extremism it claimed to fight. In the White Lives Matter Official Telegram channel, users were urged to “become an activist for your race” while referencing the SPLC as an opposing force.

The similarity across channels and social media is notable. The same framing appeared repeatedly within a short time window. This suggests rapid circulation of a shared narrative across networks rather than independent commentary.

The neo-Nazi, neo-fascist layer

Comments on the Southern Poverty Law Center indictment by members of the Commander George Lincoln Rockwell channel – named for the founder of the American Nazi Party – demonstrate how antisemitic conspiracy theories work, not as explicit rhetoric but as a broader narrative.

Internet discussions portrayed the SPLC as a politically motivated or illegitimate actor. Posts in Patriot Front Updates, for example, circulated allegations of fraud and money laundering while criticizing the SPLC and its efforts to identify and challenge white nationalist activity.

I found that this criticism of the SPLC also became connected to a broader antisemitic conspiracy narrative – one that portrays the organization as operating on behalf of purported Jewish interests rather than simply as an advocacy organization with political and ideological commitments.

These narratives circulated alongside the “great replacement theory,” which falsely claims that shadowy elites are encouraging immigration and demographic change to replace the white population and diminish its political and cultural influence. It’s a conspiracy theory that the SPLC and others have documented as central to contemporary white nationalism.

In this logic, the indictment is not an isolated fraud case – it is evidence that a coordinated network of institutions has been systematically suppressing white identity.

Victimhood as recruitment

Scholars of white nationalism have long identified victimhood narratives as central to that movement’s appeal. By portraying white people as under attack or unfairly displaced, these narratives transform social change into a story of persecution and provide a powerful justification for political mobilization.

My research on white nationalism shows how contemporary extremist movements rely less on formal membership and more on decentralized digital spaces. It is there that narratives, grievances and identities are continuously reinforced.

In these environments, major news events like the SPLC indictment become opportunities.

Why this pattern repeats

Extremist movements have long used mainstream controversies as recruitment opportunities.

Participants often interpret external events through narratives of threat, injustice and persecution. In doing so, they transform moments of controversy into evidence that their worldview is correct.

In the 1990s, for instance, the deadly standoffs between federal officers and the Branch Davidians religious sect near Waco, Texas, and survivalist Randy Weaver in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, became foundational persecution narratives for militia and Christian Identity movements. These groups saw the sieges as proof that the federal government was hunting gun owners and religious dissenters.

In online extremist communities, these events can become powerful tools for reinforcing group identity and attracting individuals who are searching for explanations or belonging.

With a real-world legal event like the SPLC indictment, extremists can point to government action as evidence that their worldview is being validated. The result is a narrative that appears responsive to current events, even when the connection is shallow or distorted.

Redirected domestic terrorism policy

Legal scholars have noted that the Justice Department indictment fits within the Trump administration’s broader pattern of redirecting domestic terrorism policy away from white supremacist groups.

The Trump White House’s 2026 Counterterrorism Strategy does not mention violent far-right groups as a domestic terrorism threat at all.

That context matters for understanding how the SPLC case landed in extremist spaces: not as an isolated fraud allegation but as institutional permission. The indictment has become a symbol before the evidence has been weighed.

In today’s fragmented digital media environment, symbols travel faster than facts, especially when they confirm what a radicalized audience already wants to believe. I believe the real danger is not that white supremacists believe the SPLC is guilty. It is that the controversy, whatever its legal outcome, has already done its work.

Right-wing and right-leaning online show hosts, including Nick Fuentes, are getting millions of views pushing extremely racist rhetoric

After the Belfast riots, Henry Nowak murder case, and Karmelo Anthony trial, online show hosts defended, supported, and even encouraged more protests and violence, earning over 5.3 million views combined. Nick Fuentes alone earned 2.4 million views.

Written by Reed McMaster, Gideon Taaffe & Jack Wheatley

Published 07/15/26

Right-wing and right-leaning online shows and hosts earned millions of views pushing extreme rhetoric in the wake of Karmelo Anthony's trial in the U.S., the murder of Henry Nowak in Britain, and race riots in Northern Ireland following an alleged knife attack by a Sudanese immigrant.

Media Matters found that white nationalist Nick Fuentes’ online show America First earned at least 2.4 million combined views on Rumble for 3 episodes that defended people resorting to violence in the wake of these events. We also found at least 13 episodes from 11 other right-wing and right-leaning online shows from June 2 through June 11 that contained incendiary rhetoric against immigrants or people of color while discussing those events, with over 2.8 million combined views on YouTube and Rumble.

Hosts of the 11 online shows we identified range from well-known staples of conservative media like Glenn Beck to far-right commentator Stew Peters, who suggested that “all of us should be” recreating the Belfast riots. After Anthony's trial, during which the Black teenager was tried and found guilty of murdering a white peer, these online hosts echoed rhetoric usually relegated to white nationalist circles: The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh used the incident to attack the 20th century Civil Rights Movement, saying its “purpose” was “eliminating the civil rights of every white American,” while Stew Peters Network podcaster Frankie Stockes claimed, “These types of things have been happening in this country since the integration of schools.”

Recent incidents in America and Europe have sparked racist commentary from right-wing and right-leaning media, with many commentators mirroring Fuentes' extreme rhetoric

• In June, an alleged knife attack by a Sudanese man in Belfast, Northern Ireland, led anti-immigrant rioters to burn down multiple homes and vehicles, and some participants allegedly threatened people of color during the riot. WIRED noted the influence of outside agitators, specifically a white supremacist youth group that helped organize the riot.

• Violence also erupted in Southampton, England, following a trial for the December 2025 murder of a young man named Henry Nowak by a Sikh man who reportedly “lied to the police by falsely claiming that Nowak, who was white, had racially abused him.” The story ignited widespread anti-immigrant protests as news broke that the assailant in Nowak’s murder was convicted on May 28 and police bodycam footage was released that, according to the BBC, showed “Nowak being handcuffed as he lay dying.”

• In the U.S., a Black teenager named Karmelo Anthony was convicted on June 9 of stabbing and killing a white teen, Austin Metcalf, at an April 2025 track meet. The trial became a cultural flash point — as Forbes reported, “some claimed the response to the facts of the case would have been different if the races were reversed; others lamented that Anthony’s fate was decided by [a] jury that included no Black people.” During the trial, Jake Lang, who Forbes described as a “right-wing provocateur,” appeared at the courthouse and reportedly shouted that Anthony should be “lynched.”

• Many popular figures within the right-wing and right-leaning podcasting world responded to news coverage of these three cases with extreme racist rhetoric, often mirroring the kind of language used by white nationalists like Nick Fuentes.

• Since 2025, Fuentes — who last year was named Media Matters’ Misinformer of the Year — has been making the rounds on numerous online shows, getting millions of views, and sparking debate about whether the conservative movement should embrace him and his positions. At the same time, right-wing and right-leaning media personalities have also been echoing language and ideas from white nationalists — for example, by endorsing the concept of remigration, a form of ethnic cleansing that reflects exactly the kind of harsh anti-immigrant ideas Fuentes espouses.

• As Media Matters’ John Whitehouse wrote last year, the fact that there’s even a debate regarding whether the conservative movement should embrace Fuentes can be attributed to “the right's continued embrace of extremism as the fractured MAGA coalition jockeys for power in a second Trump term and beyond.”

Right-wing and right-leaning online shows pushing extreme rhetoric over these events earned over 5.3 million views across YouTube and Rumble

• Media Matters reviewed transcripts of episodes from right-wing and right-leaning online shows and found at least 16 episodes from 12 programs that were published between June 2 and June 11 and pushed extreme anti-immigrant, racist, and anti-civil rights rhetoric while discussing the Karmelo Anthony trial in the U.S., Henry Nowak’s murder in the U.K., and the Belfast riots. These episodes earned over 5.3 million views combined on YouTube and Rumble.

• Three of these episodes came from Nick Fuentes’ America First, with these episodes earning at least 2.4 million views combined on Rumble, or roughly 825,000 average views per episode. The other 13 episodes earned at least 2.8 million views combined, with over 1.3 million views earned on YouTube and nearly 1.5 million on Rumble. These episodes garnered roughly 218,000 average views.

• While Fuentes’ three episodes earned the most views on Rumble, The Daily Wire's The Matt Walsh Show garnered the most on YouTube, with at least 766,000 views over two episodes.

Right-wing and right-leaning podcasters defended the riots in Belfast, with some suggesting they should spread to other countries

• • Nick Fuentes: “It is refreshing to see white people riot. I do love to see it actually because you know what, it is our fucking turn.” He continued, “Clearly, that's the only way anything gets done. That's just how we do things. That is just how we do things. Now that society has become open warfare between tribes, this is clearly just how we resolve disputes and differences. Muslim thugs, African thugs, Black thugs, gangsters and gangbangers from every group, this is how they get their way. Violence, intimidations, tribalism, rioting — that is how they get their way. That is how they push white people around. That’s how they push government around.” [Rumble, America First, 6/10/26]

• • Podcaster Benny Johnson said “Belfast is set completely ablaze” because a “70 IQ or less Third World invader from Sudan” was “brought there from Paris.” Johnson added, “We, the civilized taxpayers who uphold society and whose ancestors built society and who play by the rule, we're tired of being preyed on, raped, murdered, pillaged. We're sick of it.” Johnson continued, “Belfast is set completely ablaze. Why? Well, because a 70 IQ or less Third World invader from Sudan, who should have never been in Belfast — couldn't have built a plane, couldn't have built a train, couldn't have built a boat to get to Belfast — was brought there from Paris.” [YouTube, The Benny Show, 6/10/26]

• • War Room host and former Trump administration official Steve Bannon reacted to the riots in Belfast, saying, “Hopefully it gets channeled into positive nationalism,” adding, “You got to throw down at first, because they don't listen until you throw down hard.” Referencing Nowak’s murder as well, right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec responded, “You saw people — we were talking about this before — how it's uniting all of Europe, how the old tribalisms of Europe have now kind of been broken down because there's a new situation going on. The migrant invasion of 2015 is now finally being responded to. And you've got people in Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, England, Western Europe, all over, rising up and saying enough is enough.” [Real America’s Voice, War Room, 6/9/26]

• • Podcaster Steven Crowder on the Belfast riots: “I think there's a turning point in the Western world, and everyone is seeing it right now.” Crowder said, “Even though I don't support political violence, indiscriminately, at all, whatsoever, people in Belfast breaking windows in the public housing for asylum-seekers that they pay for — I understand it.” He also commented on Anthony's verdict, claiming people have “Black fatigue, I get it.” [Rumble, Louder with Crowder, 6/10/26]

• • Host Glenn Beck said the probable cause of the attack which inspired the Belfast riots was “the cultural clash rooted in Islamic patterns of violence that have no place in Western society.” He also said, “Enough is enough. People are rising up because the elites ignored them for too long.” He later continued, “You know, towns just didn't slide into Third World violence by accident. It happened when leaders prioritized open borders and brought the Third World in.” [YouTube, The Glenn Beck Program, 6/10/26]

• • Podcaster Dave Rubin reacted to the Belfast riots saying, “If you import people, for whatever reason, who do not have approximately the same views as you, who are willing to do unimaginably evil things on their religious or cultural conquest, or anything else, then your society will die.” He continued, “We have so much empathy for these brown people who, you know, they just — they're just different from us and OK, they rape, OK, they behead, but let's just invite them into our country and see what happens. And that is how you will get the collapse of the West. Quite literally.” [YouTube, The Rubin Report, 6/10/26]

• • After guest Anthony Pompliano said he thought the Belfast riots were “something where you’re going to see other people in other countries get inspired by it,” PBD Podcast host Patrick Bet-David responded, “Hopefully, hopefully.” Pompliano said, “This is something that is much more systemic. And, again, it goes back to — there's an economic reason that we got to this point. But now when you get this type of response, I think that this is something where you're going to see other people in other countries get inspired by it.” Bet-David replied, “Hopefully, hopefully.” [Valuetainment, PBD Podcast, 6/10/26]

• • Far-right commentator Stew Peters — who has promoted white nationalism and antisemitism, including on his show — argued that “all of us should be” recreating the Belfast riots. Peters stated, “Until just recently, Scotland had a Muslim invader as their first minister, the equivalent of their head of state. Just think of that. The country where King Robert the Bruce, upon his death, ordered his men to cut his heart out of his body and take it with them around the world to fight the enemies of Christianity. That place was conquered by Jews and had a Muslim installed as its head of state. Really, the people of Scotland should have been out in their streets doing exactly what they're doing in Northern Ireland right now a long time ago. All of us should be.” [Stew Peters Network, The Stew Peters Show, 6/10/26; Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed on 6/25/26; Media Matters, 3/13/23]

Reacting to the trials for the killings of Metcalf and Nowak, right-wing and right-leaning online hosts attacked the Civil Rights Movement, promoted violence, and fearmongered about the death of “Western civilization"

• • Nick Fuentes claimed, “What we find emerging is a pattern where it is always — the interracial violence is always — nonwhite people killing white people,” adding later, “They're crossing over into our communities and killing our own people.” He continued, “They're migrating to our countries and turning our countries into war zones, centers of conflict. And again, throughout history, these things happen too. Tribal conflict happens. Sometimes the barbarians breach the perimeter and get inside the city gates. ... When this happens, it is incumbent on a people, and in particular its government, to get together and protect the sovereignty and safety and the well-being ... of our society.” [Rumble, America First, 6/9/26]

• • Fuentes celebrated violence against minorities, saying, “I actually do love to see … some white men show up and just start beating the shit out of these people.” He then added, “Sadly, you can't even do that because that would be the solution. It would be.” [Rumble, America First, 6/10/26]

• • Fuentes argued Western civilization is “going to die” unless white people fight back in the face of Nowak's murder. He said, “This is the state of the Western white world. And the future without white civilization is ugly. It's ugly and it's bleak and it's poor and it is primitive and it is sad. And ultimately, unless white people are willing to fight for a place in this world where we are not being stabbed to death, where police are not arresting us for being stabbed, unless white people are willing to take a stand and fight for space, fight to take up space, fight for power as whites, not just incidentally holding power and being white, but holding power as whites, then we are going to die and our civilization will be wiped out.” [Rumble, America First, 6/2/26]

• • Benny Johnson called Nowak’s story a “massive red-flashing warning sign” about “how pernicious and evil our current leaders are in the West, how much they seek the destruction of everything Western, good, and Christian.” He continued, “They seek the destruction of our culture, and it's permissible, and they're using the authorities to do it. Whether that's locking us down during COVID, burning our cities during the George Floyd riots, or letting Henry Nowak bleed out. It is those institutions that must be ripped up. They were founded well before any of us were born. They were founded in post-World War II, modernist thinking, nihilistic thinking. They're antithetical to God and creation and a harmonious culture that was established by our founding.” [YouTube, The Benny Show, 6/2/26]

• • The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh reacted to the Anthony trial by claiming that the civil rights era “achieved in the rest of the Western world” the “purpose” of “eliminating the civil rights of every white American.” He said, “Ever since the civil rights era, our leaders have conditioned millions of white Americans to accept their debasement, humiliation, and discrimination on the basis of race. And once white victims are held responsible for their own murders, on top of all that, then the civil rights era will have achieved its ultimate purpose. The purpose that's already been achieved in the rest of the Western world — eliminating the civil rights of every white American.” [The Daily Wire, The Matt Walsh Show, 6/2/26]

• • Walsh called for British men to “transform their entire society and their entire legal system to avenge Henry Nowak.” He said, “And if British men responded to this murder with one-tenth of the intensity that leftists used in response to George Floyd's overdose, the problem will be solved overnight. So, when does that happen? When are the riots starting? When will British men transform their entire society and their entire legal system to avenge Henry Nowak? And it doesn't even need to be riots because rioting is not the answer to anything. But actual anger and real systemic change in the country.” [The Daily Wire, The Matt Walsh Show, 6/2/26]

• • Referencing Nowak's murder and protests outside a New Jersey immigration detention center, Turning Point USA's Andrew Kolvet said: “You have Henry Nowak in the U.K. All of these forces, they feel like civilizational-defining forces that are clashing and colliding all the time. And the question I sort of have right now is, do we have the coalition that can save the West?” Kolvet added, “The forces arrayed against us are so vast and so demonic that we need to stick together.” [Real America’s Voice, The Charlie Kirk Show, 6/3/26; PBS, 6/6/26]

• • Frankie Stockes of the Stew Peters Network reacted to the Anthony verdict by asserting that “the social contract is white” and “these types of things have been happening in this country since the integration of schools.” He went on to add: “You still have idiot adults out here who will continue to tell their children after seeing this and cases just like it, Everyone else is just like you, everyone else is playing by the same set of rules that you are, everyone else has the same morals that you do. … Little Tyrone, little Raphael, little Abdul, little Ari, little Avi, they’re not so different than you, little Bobby. Yeah they are.” [Stew Peters Network, The Based Report, 6/10/26]

JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Alito said we blew it. He said in his dissent, this was one of the most important cases the court's ever seen and we blew it. He and Thomas were basically like yeah, this devalues and degrades U.S. citizenship because it opens it up for anchor babies and for birth tourists. Now, the Chinese communists could take their pregnant wife to Guam, have a baby, fly the baby back to Beijing with a U.S. passport and then that baby, when he's older, can get U.S. welfare, he can vote. Technically, when he's 35, he could become president of the United States. That's the stupidest thing anyone ever thought of. Literally, the guy, the senator who put this out in the 19th century said it shouldn't involve foreigners, aliens, or families of ambassadors.

Everybody agreed at the time. The guy that sponsored it, the guy that initiated it, the architect of this 14th amendment. The AG, the president at the time, Grant, all said, yeah, no foreigners, no visitors. Well, this was also before airplanes. So, no one could imagine enemies of the United States flying here to have babies that 18 years later they could use against us to sway elections, soak up welfare, and then steal our defense technology. Because that's what they do. They steal it. So, I'm annoyed. And they're using migration as a weapon against us. And the court didn't protect us. And the Democrats are in cahoots with this. They like it because they like it for money and power, so obviously, we have to agree with the court's decision. Congress, not going to do anything about it. And I think the DOJ has to ramp up prosecutions of birth tourism fraud and Trump's got to deport even more because this is demographic destruction.

“White Americans who feel they are on the losing side of politics are more likely to oppose economic redistribution programs,” reports PsyPost, citing research posted in Research and Politics. “This effect only appears when people compare their political standing directly to that of racial minorities.

Economic redistribution involves transferring wealth or income within a society, usually through taxation and social welfare programs, reports PsyPost, and in many developed nations, high levels of income inequality usually lead to increased public demand for these programs. But the U.S. is different in this regard. Despite the nation suffering high economic inequality, public support for government redistribution remains relatively low.

University of Delaware political scientists Sumeyye Mine Iltekin Gocer and Joanne M. Miller, wanted to test how these social comparisons operate across racial lines. What they learned was that hostility to safety net programs appears to be an issue primarily with White people — even those in poverty — because they fear the programs give nonwhites a boost.

The researchers focused specifically on more than 700 white survey respondents and divided them into two groups: those asked “whether white Americans have been winning or losing in politics lately,” and those asked “if white Americans have been winning or losing in politics compared to racial minorities.”

Both groups were then asked to rate their support for two specific types of economic proposals, reports PsyPost. “The first was an index of general economic redistribution, and included questions about government intervention to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. The second policy question was more targeted: It asked if the current government is spending too much or too little to reduce income disparities between white people and racial minorities.

“[White respondents in the second group] who felt their group was losing in politics became less supportive of both types of economic redistribution,” said PsyPost. “They opposed general public welfare programs and initiatives specifically aimed at reducing racial inequality.

Researches noticed also that the relationship held true regardless of the respondents’ income, employment status, political ideology, or underlying racial beliefs.

“The results highlight the power of framing in political messaging,” according to PsyPost. “The mere feeling of losing is not enough to shift economic policy preferences toward the conservative end of the spectrum. A person has to feel that they are losing out relative to another specific demographic group.”

The study suggests why populist leaders like President Donald Trump and MAGA frequently rely on group-based rhetoric to build a white base.

“Stoking fears of relative decline appears to be a highly effective way to mobilize opposition to egalitarian economic policies,” PsyPost reports.

TRUTHOUT

IN a Truth Social post last week, President Donald Trump referred to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as a “low IQ person.”

Trump repeated that line of attack in a separate post this past weekend, directed at former MAGA ally Candace Owens. His post included a doctored image of *Time*magazine labeling the conservative pundit as “Vile Person of the Year.”

Trump’s use of the insult “low IQ” to deride political rivals or people he considers enemies is not exclusive to people of color. But an examination of the president’s social media posts shows that he overwhelmingly uses the term to target nonwhite people — and communications experts say that the phrase serves as a racist dog whistle to members of his political base.

Using search tools available at TrumpsTruth.org, Truthoutexamined every Truth Social post by Trump that included the term “IQ” from January 20, 2025, through April 25, 2026. In total, Trump used the term “low IQ” or some variation of it in 24 posts.

Trump referred to a white person as “low IQ” in just 32 percent of those posts, while 84 percent of the posts were directed at Black or Brown people.

Trump Shares Racist Podcast Transcript Full of Attacks on Immigrants

Recent polling shows that half of American voters view Trump as a racist.

By Chris Walker , TruthoutApril 23, 2026

In his comments last Wednesday, Trump attacked the Supreme Court in general, whining that the liberal bloc of justices “ALWAYS vote as a group.” But he singled out Jackson as “that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench.”

Although Trump didn’t list her by name, the insult was clearly directed at Jackson, as he noted that the justice in question was appointed by former President Joe Biden. The post referred to the strong likelihood that the court will rule against Trump’s attempt to rewrite the 14th Amendment’s interpretation of birthright citizenship, an effort widely understood as an attempt to further codify white supremacy in the U.S.

In the first 10 months of his second term, Trump never once referred to a white person as “low IQ,” leveling that attack solely against nonwhite people. Although Trump has called figures like California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and actor Robert De Niro “low IQ” since then, most of his “low IQ” attacks on white people have been directed at former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and conservative pundits like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Notably, the white people Trump most often refers to as “low IQ” are not his typical political adversaries (e.g. Democrats, progressives, etc.), but rather right-wing individuals who once endorsed him but have since criticized his actions in office.

Among the Black or Brown individuals Trump has targeted with the term are House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York), Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, hosts of the television program The View, Rev. Al Sharpton, radio host Charlamagne “Tha God,” and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan), and Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), among others. Trump has targeted Crockett with no fewer than eight separate posts, calling her “low IQ” in each of them.

Trump — never one to stray from name-calling his political opponents — appears to take a more hostile tone against Black and Brown people. Many of his posts describing Black or Brown individuals as “low IQ” contain additional negative monikers. In one, he described commentator Donna Brazile as “dumb as a rock”; in another, he described female members of the Democratic “Squad” as having “bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people,” calling them “LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized.”

The president has also indicated that his hatred for people he deems to be “low IQ” is based on a bigoted understanding of genetics. In one post, for example, he states that he believes people with lower IQs are “born that way.”

Experts say Trump’s disproportionate attempts to associate the term with nonwhite individuals are intended as a signal for racists within his far right base.

“Trump’s characterization of people of color as ‘low IQ’ is a racist dog whistle with a long history in the U.S.,” said Karrin Vasby Anderson, communications studies professor at Colorado State University, speaking to AFPabout the matter.

Anderson continued:

Trump and his audience can say that there’s nothing racist about ‘low IQ’ because that label could be applied to anyone. When Trump uses it primarily against Black people, however, and when it’s connected to this very specific history of how Black people have been framed in US culture since the 19th century, the white supremacists and casual racists in Trump’s audience will respond favorably.

Trump’s use of “low IQ” as a racist dog whistle is just one example of the president publicly expressing bigoted views. Over the past few years, Trump has:

• Posted a transcript of a far right podcast in which the host complained that immigrants from China and India aren’t “like the European Americans of today and their ancestors”;

• Shared a video on social media depicting former first lady Michelle Obama and former President Barack Obama as apes, a centuries-old racist trope against Black people;

• And saying they are “poisoning the blood of our country” during a 2024 presidential campaign event — commentary that echoes rhetoric by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, who is a perfect representative of the intelligence of Fulton County and the quality of people there with her disgraced career. She might even be disbarred.

She oversees Atlanta, which is just hell on earth. Have you ever been to Atlanta? It's one of the worst cities in America. I would perfectly be happy to deport the entire city. It's trash, but that city contributes four different congressional districts. They carve up Atlanta into these little districts in a ruby red state of Georgia, and then they hand over a DEI district down here also to Democrats. These are the old maps, ladies and gentlemen. These are the maps that were drawn by racists who are trying to pack as many Black people into congressional districts as possible in order to steal votes for the Democrat Party, in order to get as much section eight, as much high density housing into one tight compacted area so that they can shove more Democrat representatives into the House of Representatives. This con has been going on since the Civil Rights Act, which is really what this all was about. A power grab for Democrats stealing at least 40 different Republican seats. We've been living in a fake country. Thankfully, the Supreme Court ended this entire charade, and now this little pocket right here, this is the Fani -- this, let's just call this big Faniville, has got to go.

• Will Sommer @ The Bulwark: The Right’s Worst New Star Just Shot Someone

Meet “Chud the Builder.”

There’s a truly villainous new livestreamer who’s become a cause célèbreon the right—a guy so bad he makes Clavicular’s videos about drug overdoses and the Israeli mafia look like an episode of Bluey.

[](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!F7rW!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F91fecf5b-10f6-490e-9a17-26b843cefc07_902x1036.png)(Instagram)

Meet “Chud the Builder,” a mustachioed, cowboy hat–wearing 28-year-old Tennessee man whose real name is Dalton Eatherly. His internet alias combines the insult “chud”—basically slang for a low-brow right-winger—and a play on both Eatherly’s profession as a construction worker and the children’s show Bob the Builder.

Eatherly’s gimmick is that he films himself walking around calling black people the n-word or accusing them of “chimping out”—a racial slur comparing black people to monkeys. When the people he’s accosting get understandably mad, he encourages them to attack him so he’ll have an excuse to defend himself with mace or a gun.

You can probably guess where this is headed. On Wednesday, Eatherly shot someone in the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, according to police, apparently after the man punched him. Eatherly also shot himself during the incident, sustaining a minor injury. Eatherly has been charged with attempted murder by the Montgomery County district attorney.

“Everybody knew this was going to happen,” popular streamer Asmongold said Wednesday after the shooting, describing the event as a “huge, huge aura loss.”

Clearly, Eatherly is acting in this vile way for attention. He’s been on my radar for a few months, but his shtick is so depressing I was reluctant to give it any more coverage. At the point where a rising online star is shooting people, though, I think it’s worth considering how the economics of livestreaming and the right’s embrace of even the most despicable people could allow a figure like “Chud the Builder” to exist, let alone get a serious following.

Eatherly’s rise has been fueled by “clipping” accounts on social media, which take the hours of streaming he produces and repackage his most incendiary moments into shorter videos. He’s appeared on InfoWars and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes’s online show to make his case that he’s defending free speech by trying to reclaim the n-word for white people. His videos have also, understandably, been heavily commented on by black YouTubers, some of whom have raised the specter of violently confronting him.

“Somebody might have to just do it,” hip-hop podcaster DJ Akademiks said recently, calling for Eatherly to be assassinated in the same way Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was.

This sort of boomerang effect—in which Eatherly says the most provocative thing possible to get attention, which, in turn, gets a provocative response that also gets attention—is the fuel of the modern internet. And it’s lucrative.

The videos have made Eatherly a notorious figure in Clarksville, where he lives. He’s also raised $65,000 in a crowdfunding campaign, and sells a memecoin called, naturally, “$CHUD.”

Eatherly’s journey into commercialized racism began sometime in 2024 or early 2025, when he got into a road rage incident with a black woman. The woman’s daughter posted a picture of him, claiming he had called her family the n-word, Eatherly claims lost him his job in construction. In response, Eatherly began filming himself berating black people in public.

It’s a strange way to make a living, even in 2026. But it’s not unique to Eatherly. Last year, a woman named Shiloh Hendrix made more than $800,000 from a crowdfunding campaign after she was filmed calling a five-year-old boy the n-word. Hendrix wasn’t a livestreamer, just an organic racist. But Chud’s obnoxious, confrontational style has been echoed by other livestreamers, like an American internet personality named Johnny Somali, who was just sentenced to six months in a South Korean labor prison for harassing Koreans as part of his content creation strategy.

Intriguingly, the FBI appears to have shown interest in Eatherly and his associates even before Wednesday’s shooting. Last week, Eatherly was arrested in an unrelated case for allegedly refusing to pay his bill at a restaurant after being kicked out for livestreaming and making racial attacks. While in custody, Eatherly claimed, he was interviewed by an FBI counterterrorism agent about any ties he could have to an extremist antisemitic group called the Goyim Defense League.

This all seems to have taken a bit of a toll on Eatherly’s private life. Shortly before this week’s shooting, he claimed that his son’s mother was changing their child’s name so the boy wouldn’t be associated with his racist father.

Whatever’s going on in Eatherly’s personal life, it’s indisputable that his public profile has only grown. His racist content is, unfortunately, the perfect type of ammunition for the online culture war. While the image-conscious white nationalist Nick Fuentes has rejected Eatherly’s tactics of “antagonizing people in public,” the former-ESPN personality turned conservative sports figure Jason Whitlock said the black men Eatherly targets need to behave better themselves.

“Chud the Builder’s rise is a sign of weakness among black men,” Whitlock, who is himself black, wrote on X last month.

The dissection of Eatherly’s content has continued even after he shot someone. Eatherly’s defenders have argued that the shooting should be legal, assuming he was physically attacked first. Yet Eatherly’s defense will almost certainly be undermined by the fact that, before the shooting, he sent numerous violent, racist tweets laying out how he planned to provoke a black person into attacking him so that he could shoot him, a plan he hoped would ratchet up racial tension nationally.

“Series finale is dead chimp on the pavement and you monkeys rioting when I walk free,” Eatherly wrote menacingly in a May post on X. “Stay tuned.”

“The day one of you [slur] make me take your life is the day the White man takes this country back,” Eatherly wrote in December.

It might be hard to muster up a self-defense argument with a social media trail like that. As of the publishing of this newsletter, Eatherly’s lawyer has not commented publicly on the case.

But in an ominous sign about the economics of the worst corners of the livestreaming world, the price of the $CHUD memecoin shot to a new level in the immediate aftermath of the shooting—with buyers appearing to bet that all the controversy about “Chud the Builder” would turn into a windfall.

AN 5 26

President Donald Trump’s political brand is based on convincing unexceptional people that they are better than they actually are, but one critic says he's doing so at the expense of exceptional people who happen to belong to marginalized communities.

“Donald Trump is literally hypnotizing mediocre people into thinking that they are meritocratic geniuses, while telling highly accomplished Black, Brown, and Asian people that they are nothing — that everything they have was given to them by those same mediocre people,” liberal commentator Joy-Ann Reid said on Tuesday in an episode of “The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali and Joy-Ann Reid.” The pundit elaborated that Trump and his administration promote the idea that white men do not need to prove their merit because, by virtue of being white men, they are already exceptional.

“They're literally seeing a deficit of white men even trying to go to college now, because they're being told: you don't have to do anything, you just have to be,” Reid said. “You just have to exist as a white man and you're qualified to do anything. You can be a neurosurgeon — just walk in there, use your brilliant European brain, and start operating on people. You're fine. You don't need to know anything. But Black people, according to the late Charlie Kirk, can't even be a pilot — even after going to school to become one. If they're sitting behind the wheel of a Cessna, the claim is they don't know how to do it, that they were just pulled off the street and thrown into the chair.”

Not only do these arguments hurt ordinary people by encouraging discrimination, Reid argued; they also hurt the American economy and do damage to the government when second-rate leaders inevitably stumble at their jobs.

“So they're telling women and people of color: you're not qualified to do anything. But white men are being told: you're qualified to do everything," Reid said. "So you're having people walk into positions they're not ready for. This is Donald Trump doing exactly what they claimed affirmative action did to Black students — setting them up to fail by placing unqualified people in positions beyond their preparation. That was their theory. And that's literally what's happening to these mediocre white guys now.”

Reid offered up the Trump administration as the clearest example.

“RFK Jr. cannot help but fail because he's not qualified for the job,” Reid said. “Pete Hegseth cannot do anything but look like an idiot because he's not qualified for the job. When you're not seeking the most qualified people, you're setting all of these men up to fail — including the President of the United States.”

Reid is not alone among liberal pundits who argue that Trump’s appeal relies in part on elevating mediocre men into believing they are great. Salon writer Amanda Marcotte made a similar point in July on “The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent.”

“So much of the MAGA movement really is driven by this jealousy that they can’t admit to themselves,” Marcotte said. “…I think you see that come up again and again with these fascist movements, right? They are full of mediocre people who are burning with resentment and grievance toward people that they call ‘the elites,’ who are often just people that are more excellent than they are, who are better at stuff than they are. They hate them and they just want to punish them.”

Joel Webbon Claims SPLC Indictment Proves Racism Is 'Not Real'

04/27/2026

by

Kyle Mantyla

When the Trump administration unveiled its politically motivated indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center last week, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche accused the organization of "manufacturing racism to justify its existence."

While the indictment merely alleges that the SPLC committed financial crimes by making payments to informants working in various extremist groups, Blanche's inflammatory framing was designed to create the impression that the well-documented racism, sexism, and antisemitic extremism within the right-wing movement doesn't actually exist.

The SPLC had long drawn the ireof conservatives who are now eager to use the indictment to discredit the SPLC and its decades of work tracking and exposing right-wing extremism and, by extension, whitewash the movement's long history of extremism. .

This is leading to absurd situations where racist, antisemitic, and deeply misogynistic theocratic fascist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon is using the indictment as evidence that "America does not have a racist problem."

"It's so clear that America does not have a racist problem, at least in terms of like pure, baseless, mindless hatred towards minority people," Webbon said on his program last Friday.

"If America really was racist against brown people, black people, whatever, there wouldn't be much money to be made," Webbon claimed. "It wouldn't be lucrative. They wouldn't be doing it. They're only doing it because it's not real."

:{:{"There's a lot of money to be made in slaying dragons or pretending to slay dragons that have already been slain," he continued. "Either the dragon doesn't exist at all, and that's why it's lucrative, or—I'm just going to throw this out there—the dragon's actually good and it's actually the king who's commissioned the knights and they're actually the bad guys.}:

This whole witch hunt for white supremacists who hate brown people simply because they're brown, the reason why that's so lucrative and there are NGOs with millions and millions of dollars for that is because the white people in America are predominantly, on the whole, not racist. White people in America are, if anything, I think, too trusting, too gullible, toxic empathy. White people in America are like, 'You know what? I know that this will kill my grandchildren, but can we just import half of the country of Haiti, just to be nice?' So not only is racism non-existent, if anything, we could probably use a little bit more racism in America."}:

As amply demonstrated by this very video, Webbon himself is proof that racism in America is very real, and this is just the latest a long line of examples from him.

In 2024, Webbon declared that if he were facing the choice between seeing to a black doctor or a white doctor, he's chose the white doctor because "if there’s a chance that one of them was not qualified, and was given a free pass, it’d be the black guy."

IFrame Content

In 2025, Webbon told black people to "stop whining" about the oppression they have suffered throughout American history because "it's your fault."

IFrame Content

That same year, Webbon urged white parents to have "the talk" with their children about avoiding black people.

Video URL

In 2026, he said that he would discourage his daughter from marrying a moral, godly, upstanding Christian black man because "I would prefer for my grandchildren to look like me."

Video URL

Shortly after that, Webbon proclaimed that it is fair to generalize that all black people are impulsive and lazy.

Right-wing media's immigration wish list: Kill the bipartisan Dignity Act, more mass deportations, and fewer paths for legal immigration

Right-wing media are trying to pressure Republicans to move even further right on immigration

Written by Torri Lonergan & Isabella Sherk

Published 04/24/26

Right-wing media figures are rejecting recent messaging from the Trump White House to back away from calls for mass deportations and attacking bipartisan immigration legislation. These personalities have gone so far as to accuse the GOP of “pushing for mass amnesty” and “surrendering our country to foreigners.”

They are advocating for harsher anti-immigration policies — demanding that President Donald Trump enact his most extreme campaign promises for mass deportations, calling for “a 10-year ban on all immigration,” and encouraging Trump to start “denaturalizing citizens” and “removing lawful permanent residents.”

While the Trump administration slashes legal immigration, some congressional Republicans have backed away from mass deportations and cosponsored the Dignity Act}:

• • The Trump administration has been slashing legal immigration and targeting non-criminal “immigration violators” while telling the public its efforts were prioritizing deporting “the worst of the worst.” The administration has drastically cut visas for legal permanent residents, international students, H-1B workers, and the foreign partners of U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, CBS reported that “30,986 — or 48% — of the ICE detainees in custody as of Nov. 16 lacked any criminal charges or convictions in the U.S. and were being held solely because of civil violations of U.S. immigration law.” Cato Institute, [4/13/26; CBS News, 11/26/25]

• • A recent poll from Politico found that “half of Americans — including one quarter of Trump’s 2024 voters — said his mass deportations campaign is too aggressive.” However, the poll also found that two-thirds of his 2024 voters said, “Trump’s mass deportations campaign is either about right or not aggressive enough.” Politico, [4/18/26]

• • In March, the White House reportedly advised congressional Republicans to avoid discussing mass deportations ahead of the midterm elections.According to Axios, White House deputy chief of staff James Blair urged House Republicans “to stop emphasizing ‘mass deportations’ and instead focus their messaging on removing violent criminals.” Axios, [3/10/26]

• • A group of Trump allies have formed the Mass Deportation Coalition to encourage the administration not to back away from its deportation push. The coalition — which includes the Oversight Project’s Mike Howell, former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, former Customs and Border Protection Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan, and conservative groups including The Heritage Foundation — released a playbook urging the White House to continue raiding work sites and deporting migrant workers despite pushback from voters. Politico, [4/1/26]

• • The Dignity Act is a bipartisan bill that would allow migrant workers who have been here more than five years to legally work in the U.S. The “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025” or the “DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act” was introduced by Reps. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Veronica Escobar (D-TX) in July 2025. 19 other Republicans and a similar number of Democrats have cosponsored the bill. Salazar described the legislation as “a serious, balanced solution: no amnesty, no path to citizenship, but a legal status for those who have worked, paid taxes, and contributed to our economy.” According to the American Immigration Council, “The Dignity Act would provide a path to permanent legal status — but not citizenship — for nearly all undocumented immigrants who have been in the United States since December 31, 2020.” Congress.gov, [7/15/25; Office of Rep. María Elvira Salazar, 3/25/26, 7/15/25; American Immigration Council, 7/15/25]

• • In April, 11 House Republicans voted with Democrats to extend temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants through 2029. CBS News reported that TPS “allows immigrants to temporarily live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation if DHS decides their home country is unsafe due to armed conflict, environmental disasters or other extraordinary circumstances.” Haitian immigrants have been granted TPS since 2010. The bill’s Republican supporters broke with Trump, who has attempted to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants and reportedly plans to veto the bill if it passes the Senate. CBS News, [4/16/26; NPR, 4/16/26]

• ## Right-wing media figures railed against the Dignity Act, calling the bill that bars undocumented people from citizenship “amnesty”

• • The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh called Dignity Act cosponsor Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) an “anchor baby,” described the bill as “treasonous,” and claimed the legislation would “backdoor a mass amnesty.” The Daily Wire, *The Matt Walsh Show*, [4/9/26, 4/9/26]

• • Fox’s Sean Hannity complained, “We have Democrats and some Republicans even that are pushing for this idiotic, imbecilic, insane idea of the Dignity Act.” He framed the proposed legislation as saying, “Oh, never mind that you didn't respect our laws, our borders and sovereignty. Never mind that we didn't vet you. We're just going to let you into the country anyway.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Sean Hannity Show*, [4/9/26]

• • On April 8, Fox host Laura Ingraham asked Dignity Act cosponsor Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), “How can you possibly look in the face of the American people and say that's dignity?” The next day, Ingraham argued that “American workers, taxpayers, and the rule of law” will lose if this bill gets passed. She also said that Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) “nailed it” when he referred to the bill as a “double middle finger to the middle class.” Fox News, *The Ingraham Angle*, [4/8/26, 4/9/26]

• • Discussing the Dignity Act, Fox host Will Cain asked Lawler, “How is this not amnesty?” Cain insisted, “Whatever words you want to use, amnesty, pathway to citizenship — I know you’re not proposing that — legal status, you are creating the continued incentive for illegal immigration.” Fox News, *The Will Cain Show*, [2/4/26]

• • Right-wing podcaster Laura Loomer said that Republicans will “lose the midterms” because they are “talking about this Dignity Act to give amnesty to 65 fucking illegal aliens.”In February, she insisted the Dignity Act is “just another word for mass amnesty, it makes me so angry,” and said, “I think that Lawler should be primaried. I think that he should be removed from Congress.” Rumble, *Loomer Unleashed*, [4/7/26, 2/5/26]

• • Megyn Kelly questioned why Republicans were cosponsoring the “betrayal bill” and said, “This is no time to be talking about amnesty.” She added, “I don't care about them being in fear of deportation,” and asked, “What is this, just to create a talking point for the Democrats right before the midterms?” Sirius XM, *The Megyn Kelly Show*, [4/9/26, 4/9/26]

• • The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles said Salazar is “pushing for mass amnesty” and declared that the Dignity Act is “as rancid as a bill as ever I have seen.” On The Megyn Kelly Show, Knowles said, “I have my own alternative legislation that I am proposing. The legislation is the All New Denizens Actually Leave En Masse Bill, or the ANDALE Bill.” He argued, “Mass deportations are a mainstream popular political issue. So what are these jokers, these Republicans in Congress say? They come around and they say I know what we'll do after winning the first popular election in 20 years. Let's give illegals mass amnesty. … Leave it to these people to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.” The Daily Wire, *The Michael Knowles Show*, [7/21/25; The Daily Wire, Friendly Fire, 4/8/26; Sirius XM, The Megyn Kelly Show, 4/9/26]

• • Infowars host Harrison Smith said that Congress “named the amnesty bill in the Spanish language just to really emphasize how thoroughly they are surrendering our country to foreigners.” Infowars, *War Room*, [4/7/26]

• • On former Trump strategist Steve Bannon’sWar Roompodcast, Immigration Accountability Project co-founder Rosemary Jenks criticized the Dignity Act, claiming, “It's got amnesty for at least 10 million illegal aliens to compete with low-wage American workers.” She said, “I call this bill, instead of the Dignity Act, the SAAW Act for Screw All American Workers, because this bill hits every American worker, whether they're low-wage, medium-wage, or high-wage.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [4/10/26]

• • The Charlie Kirk Showexecutive producer Andrew Kolvet said the Dignity Act is “a new grift to try to get more illegals coming in.” He claimed, “There are people around the president right now saying, don't ever use the word mass deportation again — the thing that we all got so excited to vote for in 2024.” Real America’s Voice, *The Charlie Kirk Show*, [4/7/26]

• • Podcaster Vince Coglianese ranted, “What the hell did people vote for, by a majority? A majority? They said mass deportations. They said get everybody out of the country who's here illegally. Stop breaking our laws. Stop making it chaotic. Get out. Get out. And you're picking now for amnesty? No. None. No more amnesty.” Coglianese called the Dignity Act a “dumpster fire” and said, “The goal of the bill is to give amnesty to huge categories of illegal aliens.” He criticized Republicans who support the bill, complaining, “They're going to deliver the American dream. To whom? Not to Americans. To illegal aliens. What are you idiots doing?” Rumble, *VINCE*, [2/5/26]

• ## Right-wing media personalities demanded that Trump double down on mass deportations

• • Podcaster Tim Pool complained about “the Trump administration telling people to back off of mass deportations,” claiming, “That says to me, yeah, MAGA's dead.” He continued, “If the Republican Party is now saying Joe Biden allowed in 10 million undocumented — undocumented — migrants, illegal immigrants, as we call them, if he really did that, and the Trump admin is saying we're done with this; we're not going to do it — OK. Well, then America's over.” Rumble, *Timcast IRL*, [3/17/26]

William Wolfe Wants Millions Of Immigrants Deported So His Children Don't Become Minorities | People For

AN 3 26

New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie says White House advisor Stephen Miller is cruising to create “subordinate class” by ending public education funding for undocumented children in red states. But this is about more than keeping some kids less learned than others.

Miller spirited Texas lawmakers away to a closed-door meeting in Washington last week, according to two sources in the meeting, where he commenced to challenge a decades-old U.S. Supreme Court precedent. That case, Plyler v. Doe, holds that it was a violation of the equal protection clause for states to deny undocumented children the same free public education state leaders provide to legal immigrants’ children — who are themselves citizens.

According to the Times, Miller wants to take advantage of partisan gridlock in Congress to encourage state lawmakers to pass the attacks on Plyler. But why is Miller so determined to “whittle down the 14th Amendment to essentially nothing,” asked Bouie.

In Bouie’s argument the 14th Amendment is “tied directly to the 13th.”

“The 13th Amendment states that ‘Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.’ It then adds, in section 2, that ‘Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.’”

But the 13^th Amendment was about more than just slavery, said Bouie. To the authors, it was “the foundation for the society they hoped to build” by outlawing “hereditary caste as much as” the end of chattel slavery.” Immediately after ratifying it, anti-slavery forces in Congress used it as an open door to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which established birthright citizenship and nullified the “Black Codes.”

The racist Supreme Court at the time neutered much of that good intent “as part of a larger political project to reconcile the white citizens of the United States” and give the white South the power to manage its own ‘affairs,’ and impose “imperial domination,” Bouie argued.

“Both Miller and the MAGA right are engaged in the same kind of work as their political forebears,” added Bouie. “It is no wonder, then, that they want to gut the 14th Amendment, which was revitalized by the struggles of Black Americans and other groups throughout the 20th century. Theirs is a project of subordination at home and abroad; of the re-inscription of caste and the recreation of tiered citizenship based on race and nationality. And now, as then, the 14th Amendment stands in the way.”

February 19, 2026, edition of The Daily Wire's The Matt Walsh Show

MATT WALSH (HOST): The outcomes have been fantastic. Just fantastic. 240 million gallons of sewage. Fantastic outcome. Fantastic. If that's fantastic, I would hate to see what outcome this guy would consider to be subpar. If 240 million gallons of sewage is a fantastic great outcome, then what would even he call, you know, suboptimal? Well, anyway, there you have it, when you're hiring personnel at DC water, it's vitally important to have a lot of people who aren't white. The executives need to look like the employees because when you're drinking water out of the tap or taking a shower, you know, the thing you care about is whether the people who ensured the cleanliness and safety of your water look like you or not. And if you get E. coli or some other exotic disease or parasite in your intestines from the water, well, you could take solace in the fact that while you're puking your guts out, at least there was a sufficient level of diversity over in the water management department. David Gaddis never explains why this is so important, but he doesn't really have to.

At this point, it's common knowledge that in many cases, government employment functions like a jobs program for people who are not white. This is one of those things that sounds offensive to some people, I guess, but it's clearly true, and even Democrats will admit it. If you've ever had the misfortune of walking into a DMV office, which many adult has, you may have noticed that they typically aren't very diverse, you know, or they're diverse only in the leftist sense of not being diverse at all. A lot — mostly Black women, some Black men, not a lot of white people over at the DMV. Neither are transit jobs or most administrative jobs in the government, and that's no accident. By and large, nonwhite people get these jobs and then they hire other nonwhite people, and once they get the jobs, they're basically impossible to fire. This has led to the creation of the so-called Black middle class, which is almost entirely a tax-funded function of the government.

AN 2 26

SEE GHOSTS OF MISS

Mississippi Today reports that President Donald Trump’s National Park Service (NPS) is replacing visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument, in Jackson, Mississippi.

Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a “racist.”

“Edits to the brochure have removed that reference to Byron De La Beckwith, according to NPS officials, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. Other edits include eliminating the reference to Medgar Evers lying in a pool of blood after being shot,” reports Mississippi Today writer Jerry Mitchell.

In 1963, Beckwith shot civil rights leader Medgar Evers in the back as he stood in the driveway of the Evers family home in northwest Jackson. His children were inside the home awaiting their father at the time of his death, and they saw him bleeding out in the front yard.

The original brochures pulled from the home described Beckwith as “a member of the racist and segregationist White Citizens’ Council.” That council, according to history author Stephanie Rolph, “believed in the natural superiority of the Aryan race.”

“They even went so far as to say that civilizations failed because of racial amalgamation,” Rolph added.

Mississippi Today reports Beckwith also belonged to the nation’s most violent white supremacist group, the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, responsible for at least 10 killings in Mississippi.

“You can’t call Beckwith a racist?” said Jeff Steinberg, founder of Sojourn to the Past, which regularly provides civil rights tours to the home. “If you opened a picture dictionary and turned to the definition for ‘racist,’ you’d probably find a picture of Byron De La Beckwith.”

Mississippi Today reports NPS' decision comes in the wake of Trump’s March 2025 executive order, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” which accused the Biden administration of a “widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

Furthermore, the order demanded the Secretary of the Interior “ensure” that all public monuments and properties within its jurisdiction “do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

This apparently includes race-based assassins.

Mississippi Today adds that Trump initially hailed Evers, a World War II veteran, as a “great American hero” at the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in 2017. But after his 2025 executive order, his U.S. Army removed Evers, and the names of other Black heroes, from a section on the Arlington National Cemetery website that honored non-white Americans who fought in the nation’s wars.

NO LNX

Americans are finally waking up to MAGA's true agenda

John Stoehr February 05, 2026

I think most liberals are probably familiar with what has become known as Wilhoit’s Law – that the true goals of the right are inequality, injustice, repression and control. This is how composer Frank Wilhoit put it in 2018:

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect,” Wilhoit wrote. “There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.”

I think liberals are probably less familiar with another part of Wilhoit’s “law” – that these goals are so indefensible in a country founded on liberty and equality that it is necessary for conservatives to cover them up with lies.

“As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly,” Frank Wilhoit wrote, “it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny.”

On the right, US citizenship has always been a matter of race and white power. The overarching objective of conservatism since the founding has been maintenance of a social order in which rich white men are on top. But that can’t be plainly said in the land of freedom and opportunity, where everyone has an equal shot at success if they work hard and play by the rules.

So the right lies. The Republicans say “illegal immigration” is a matter of law enforcement. They say “border integrity” is a matter of national security. They say liberal immigration policies that fall short of enforcing the law and securing the border debase what it means to be a law-abiding US citizen.

They make endless appeals to higher principles in order to cover up for the fact that their true goal is the abomination of those same principles.

But as the right expands its power, it sometimes requires new and better rationalizations. It occasionally finds it necessary to slough off the old lies.

Since the 1990s, for instance, nothing has been more “sacred” than the Second Amendment. We were told the freedom to bear arms “shall not be infringed.” On the strength of this apparent conviction, little if anything has been done to address the spread of shooting massacres over the last decade.

Yet when the Trump regime needed an explanation for why Border Patrol officers were forced on January 24 to kill Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis, the sacredness of the Second Amendment was easily forgotten. “You can't have guns,” the president said in the aftermath. “You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that.”

Alex Pretti was legally permitted to conceal carry. (He did not brandish his weapon. CBP disarmed him before he was shot.) That, however, wasn’t enough. “You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail,” said US attorney for DC, Jeanine Pirro. “I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail.”

The right refused to act on a decades’ worth of shooting massacres because it was in the right’s interest to allow terror to spread across the land. That could never be plainly said, of course, so it covered up that objective with the Second Amendment. Once gun rights were no longer useful – terror is the intention of a paramilitary going door-to-door searching for “illegals” almost exclusively in states run by Democrats – they could be easily discarded.

There is, however, risk in throwing away the old lies. The Republican Party is the white man’s party but its viability in a multiracial democracy like ours depends on most white people not really understanding the truth. The party’s future depends on most white people continuing to believe lies about, say, immigration being about the security and integrity of US citizenship.

If a majority of white people come to believe that what the Republicans really mean by citizenship is whiteness, not legal status, the GOP could risk losing parts of its coalition in ways it can’t afford. I think the risk is especially acute if white people understand that patriotism itself is racialized – that white people who defend the American Dream are seen as traitors to their race.

I don’t want to overstate this risk. Whiteness is resilient. Even if most white people unite to punish Trump in some way, I wouldn’t expect such unity to last. Yet the more the right uses its power to achieve its goals, the more it throws away the lies that it told to gain that power. And the longer that pattern holds true, the more chances there are for the truth to be revealed.

Consider the above clip by white supremacist Nick Fuentes. He says Renee Good and Alex Pretti were “race traitors,” who were "not acting like citizens.”

Are people waking up to Wilhoit’s Law?

Alan Elrod thinks so. He’s the president and CEO of the Pulaski Institution, a think tank in Arkansas. In his latest for Liberal Currents, he looked at Fuentes’ statements, as well as those by other far-right commentators, to explain that whiteness isn’t the protection that many white Americans believe it is.

In a follow up interview with me, he explained further.

“Enemies can be excluded and treated however the state deems fit,” he told me. “This was at the heart of Nazi juridico-political theory, and I think we are seeing it play out today. I think that the murders of two white, middle class people in a Midwestern city is absolutely driving that message home.”

Here’s the rest of our conversation.

Nick Fuentes isn't the first to link whiteness with citizenship, but he might be the most honest about it. Others, like Matt Walsh and Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck are much better at lying about their intentions. Thoughts?

I think they're more invested in layering their prejudices beneath what they see as more socially appealing calls for law and order, child safety and cultural concerns. But these are pretty recognizable tropes in racist politicking. I'd also say that Kelly and Walsh in particular are becoming less inclined to hide their bigotry. Walsh repeatedly talks about "Third World" people with total contempt on his show. Kelly has praised Fuentes. The big difference, I think, is that they still want to be seen as important, popular media figures. There's the occasional coyness you don't get with Fuentes.

When I saw Fuentes' reaction to Good's and Pretti's murders, I thought of Wilhoit's Law: inequality and injustice are the point of conservatism. That's indefensible in a country founded on freedom and equality. So conservative must lie. Are Good's and Pretti's murders opening people's eyes?

I think so. Wilhoit's Law, which I believe is derived from a blog comment by Ohioan Frank Wilhoit, is essentially a pithy distillation of Carl Schmitt's friend/enemy distinction. In this sense, the state is not obligated to extend protections or presumptions of innocence to all people, only those it considers friendly. Enemies can be excluded and treated however the state deems fit. This was at the heart of Nazi juridico-political theory, and I think we are seeing it play out today. I think that the murders of two white, middle class people in a Midwestern city is absolutely driving that message home.

It seems to me that people like Rand Paul understand the stakes much better than Trump and his gang -- that the long-term viability of a white man's party depends on most white people not really knowing that it's a white man's party. Suddenly Paul is saying the DHS can't be trusted to investigate Pretti's murder. Perhaps there's even potential for getting rid of Trump. Thoughts?

I think Paul is an outlier. He certainly appears to be genuinely committed to some of his non-interventionist and civil libertarian beliefs. But I don't think there's appetite among Republicans for getting rid of Trump. This is both because I think many Republicans are on board with him and because the remainder are too cowed by the political realities of party politics. The fact that even people like Thom Tillis, who is retiring, and Susan Collins, whose state of Maine is also being targeted by ICE at the moment, won't take any serious steps toward checking Trump is evidence of this.

I can't remember another time when rightwingers subjected white people -- or "race traitors" -- to the same kind of denigration that we saw given to Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd and dozens of other victims of state violence. Good and Pretti are getting "no angels" treatment, with the help of the press corps. I'm told "the normies" are waking up. True?

I think a lot of people who don't pay close attention to politics are repulsed by stuff like this. My friend Nicholas Grossman wrote a great piece at Liberal Currents about how the Pretti discourse is breaking through in traditionally apolitical parts of the internet. But I also think Americans have short memories, and our politics remains discouragingly thermostatic. I thought January 6 would have woken up the normies. It did for a minute, I think. But then we re-elected Trump.

Trump has done more to discredit gun rights than any president in my lifetime. He's so focused on smearing Pretti that he suggested he deserved death for carrying a gun. These lies -- in this case the inviolability of the Second Amendment -- are very important to keeping what I call respectable white people in the Republican camp. What do you make of it?

I think the hypocrisy here is pretty important. I'm from Arkansas. I grew up around gun owners, and I know plenty of gun owners today. No one with any appreciation or respect for guns and gun ownership can look at what happened in the Pretti murder and see anything other than the gross violation of someone's Second Amendment rights by impulsively violent and thuggish goons.

However, I think that the hypocrisy that's been revealed on this issue by Republican elected officials and policy groups is just one more snowflake in the blizzard. Under MAGA, this is just another application of the friend/enemy distinction. Everything is.

James Fishback is the radical right’s great white hope

Tucker Carlson: “Pretty soon, all winning Republican politicians will talk like this”

Written by Matt Gertz

Published 01/22/26

Far-right media figures including Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes are rallying around the Florida gubernatorial campaign of James Fishback, a hedge fund manager who rails against “white genocide,” praises the extremist “groyper” movement, and is currently polling at about 5% in the GOP primary.

Fox News has been the key media venue for would-be GOP candidates seeking to reach right-wing voters and attract support over several election cycles. Current Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis broke through in the 2018 primary by making himself a Fox fixture, and the front-runner to succeed him, network favorite and GOP Rep. Byron Donalds, has adopted the same political strategy, with at least 40 weekday appearances last year.

Fishback, the 31-year old CEO of the anti-“woke” investment firm he co-founded, has been on a tour of the right-wing political factions in recent years, from writing pieces for Bari Weiss’ site The Free Press to backing Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign before trying to get himself named to a seat on the Federal Reserve Board by promising to be President Donald Trump’s “bulldog.” After launching his gubernatorial campaign in November by painting himself as aligned with DeSantis, Fishback subsequently positioned himself as what The Bulwark’s Will Sommer described as “the first groyper candidate” — with a media profile to match.

Fishback worked his way up through interviews with “white nationalist influencer Ella Maulding,” “groyper leader Beardson Beardly,” “a Youtube show run by white nationalists in northern Idaho,” and “former Infowars host Owen Shroyer,” before breaking through with a fawning treatment from Carlson, as right-wing extremism expert Ben Lorber documented for The Nation.

Lorber reported that Fishback — along with groyper leader Fuentes — represents “an ascendant, Gen-Z America First wing of MAGA openly suspicious of Israel, economically populist and steeped in a white Christian nationalist worldview that scorns Jews, women, and nonwhite immigrants.”

Far-right media figures host, endorse Fishback

Carlson, a GOP power broker and White House regular who once used his Fox show to lift up Republican candidates like Vice President JD Vance, is currently focused on promoting such ideas and the noxious pundits and would-be GOP officeholders who espouse them on his streaming program. His hourlong interview with Fishback was.

“James Fishback is running for governor in Florida,” Carlson said as he promoted the interview. “Pretty soon, all winning Republican politicians will talk like this.” The landing image for the interview’s YouTube video featured text reading “WHO REALLY RUNS FLORIDA?” over photos of DeSantis — and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Discussing why he is running for governor as Carlson nodded along, Fishback railed against foreign students taking university slots from Floridians, “white guilt lessons” in schools, and H-1B “slave labor,” declaring that “the only systemic racism in America is against white Christian men.”

“I’m aware,” Carlson replied.

Fishback won Carlson’s support by promising that Florida would divest from Israeli government bonds and use the funds to help provide down payment assistance to married first-time homebuyers.

“You’ve got my vote,” he responded after Fishback laid out the proposal. “That’s all I needed to hear. Amen. Amen.”

Fishback’s turn on Carlson’s podcast spurred an outpouring of interest from higher-profile far-right media figures.

The following week, Fishback did a with antisemitic misogynist streamer “Sneako” (real name: Nico Kenn De Balinthazy) and “looksmaxxing” influencer “Clavicular” (real name: Braden Peters).

Fishback discussed his proposal to, as he put it, implement a 50% tax on women who “hoe out on OnlyFans” to disincentivize them from doing so (“Say what you want about Saudi Arabia — there are no women hoeing out on the internet in Saudi Arabia,” Fishback said). He also alluded to an antisemitic conspiracy theory, saying of OnlyFans, “Let’s not get in trouble talking about who owns that platform.” Sneako endorsed Fishback later in the interview, while Clavicular praised his “insane reaction-baiting” but repeatedly poked holes in his policy proposals.

On Wednesday, Fishback appeared on the of Patrick Bet-David, who often provides a friendly platform for far-right extremists like white nationalist streamer Fuentes to spread their messages unimpeded. Bet-David praised Fishback for his “bold ideas.”

Fuentes himself has also taken notice of the campaign, praising Fishback on his show while stressing that he didn’t want to damage the candidate’s chances with an endorsement.

“I really like what I've seen from Fishback,” he said on his January 12 stream in response to a question from “FloridaGroyper” about the candidate’s Carlson interview. “I have to say I'm a bit conflicted still for a few reasons. I don't want to hurt him. That's kind of my first thing is I don't want to speak out of turn and hurt a politician by association if they're an ally. And the other thing is I didn't vet him myself.”

Fuentes commented that Fishback “seems really smart,” and said he was “really impressed” with the interview as well as with Fishback’s social media presence, adding that it had been “hilarious” when Fishback said that Donalds, who is Black, wanted to “turn Florida into a Section 8 ghetto.”

He later told Sneako and Clavicular that Fishback is “solid on the issues,” adding, “I watched him on Tucker — I don't think I disagreed with anything he said.”

And even before his appearance with Carlson, Fishback counted in his corner the gaming streamer Zack Hoyt, better known as Asmongold, who had more than 2 billion views on YouTube alone last year. In December, Hoyt Fishback as “my guy,” cheering along with one of the candidate’s videos, praising his proposals as “based,” and urging his fans to “vote for people like this.”

Is this actually going anywhere?

Each of these far-right media figures have large followings — but trying to elect Fishback governor of Florida will put their influence to the test. The candidate is polling at or below 5% in recent surveys and had raised “just under $19,000” according to his most recent campaign filing.

While Fuentes is reportedly seeking to build a political movement — and recent reports suggest that his message is resonating with younger Republicans — this election cycle may be too soon for such candidates to succeed.

But for his part, Fishback says that his alternative media play will pay dividends.

“Ultimately, we are in an attention economy,” he Carlson near the end of their interview. “And the attention is going to go to the person who is going to connect and show up and earn the trust of voters.”

“You don’t get to earn the trust of voters in that Fox News studio in Washington, D.C.,” he added.

Tucker Carlson: “The defining fact of our lives is that whites around the world are being eliminated”

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): I keep going back to this, but I'm just, I am a little bit confused because this is the defining fact of our lives is that whites around the world are being eliminated, and I would like to know why. Do you have any guesses?

PETER BRIMELOW (GUEST): As I say, I think, Tucker, I think it derives from emotion rather than any kind of rational calculation. I mean, if you look at what's happened in South Africa, or for that matter, in every big American Black city — that's majority Black. I mean, they can't want it to be able to get into a situation where the water is putrid and nothing works and all that kind of thing. But they do. You know, the purpose of a system is what it does.

CARLSON: That's right.

BRIMELOW: And the purpose of, you know, non-white government is to produce non-white government and non-white results. Unless, of course, you're Chinese. I mean, because Singapore's run Japanese, they're, they're run very efficiently.

CARLSON: They are. It's just interesting that people move here because it's a white country and we —

BRIMELOW: They seem to run it into the ground. Yes.

CARLSON: Well, all of us benefit, white and non-white, benefit alike from systems created by whites because they're more humane, they're more just, they're more fair, and they're more — much more efficient and cleaner, obviously.

4. "Somalia isn't even a country."

Trump lit into the embattled nation of Somalia, and also into one of its former residents who now serves as a legislator for the state of Minnesota.

“It's not a country. They don't have government. They don't have anything. I always hate to see this (Rep.) Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), she comes from Somalia, a backward country, probably the worst country. They say it's the worst country in the world. If it's a country, I don't even think it's a country. There's no organization, no anything. They don't have police. They don't have military; they don't have anything. They just have people running around killing each other and trying to pirate ships. But she'll come here. And then she wants to tell us how to run our country. The Constitution says that I am entitled to this. I can't stand her,” Trump said, adding that he “terminated all taxpayer funding” to her state.

One high-ranking Republican state lawmaker in New Hampshire was recently seen advocating for racially segregated public schools in her state, according to a new report.

In a Wednesday article, Granite Post – the New Hampshire-based website for the liberal Courier Newsroom media brand – reported that state representative Kristin Noble (R), who is the vice chair of the House Education Policy and Administration Committee, posted favorably about separating students by race in a group chat for Republican lawmakers. A screen recording of the "EdPolicy2026" group chat an unnamed member of the Education Committee leaked to Granite Post shows a user using the vice chair's first and last name talking about "fun stuff" that could be done "when we have segregated schools."

"Imagine the scores though if we had schools for them and some for us," Noble wrote.

Republican state representative Katy Peternel – who is the assistant majority leader in the New Hampshire House of Representatives – responded to Noble's message with a laughing-crying emoji.

Noble's comments were roundly condemned by Democrats. State representative David Landau, who is the ranking member of the House Education Funding Committee, said Noble's remark was "more than shocking" and "disgusting."

"It’s not who we are as a state. It’s not who we are as a country. And we’re better because we go to schools together and because we learn together and we work together, because ... that’s how life is," Landau told Granite Post.

According to the outlet, Noble has sponsored 2026 legislation that would ban the teaching of "critical race theory," or CRT, in public schools. The NAACP has previously argued that the push to ban CRT is rooted in a desire by conservatives to limit curriculum teaching students about slavery and Black history.

AlterNet has reached out to Rep. Noble for comment.

Conservative Bulwark Editor Jonathan Last argued there are two groups of President Donald Trump's voters: Those who signed on to deport 20 million immigrants regardless of whether they had committed any crime, and those who signed on with Trump’s plan to remove only immigrants who were criminals.

“Because people are stupid, that first group of voters believed that there were 20 million undocumented immigrants who have committed felonies. This is not possible,” said Last. “The total number of people in jail in America today — this includes federal, state, local, and tribal land prisons — is just under 2 million. The number of undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes cannot be 10x the entire prison population of the United States. If it were, then daily life in America would look like Escape from New York.”

“So, some Trump voters were duped owing to their general ignorance and/or innumeracy. But others were not,” added Last. “Others signed up for Trump because of his second promise (the 20 million deportations) and viewed the first promise (about deporting only criminals) as the pap necessary to get the suckers onboard.”

The question Last wants to answer is how many “dupes” voted for Trump vs the avowed racists who simply want Brown people gone. To get his answer, Last reviewed an AP/NORC poll showing consistent 80 percent support for Trump’s immigration policies among Republicans. Then he compared that to a more recent YouGov poll showing 80 percent of Republicans still "approved" of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement even after they shot and killed 37 year-old U.S. citizen Renee Good in footage that reveals no threat to agents.

“It seems pretty clear that, at best, one in five Trump voters were duped. The majority of them are getting exactly what they wanted,” Last said. "Now if Trump were to lose the support of 20 percent of Republican voters — or even 14 percent — it would be meaningful for Republican electoral prospects. Which is nice. The problem is that having 80 percent of Republican voters actively supporting a fascist race war is meaningful for our societal prospects.”

That’s a lot of racists in one party, said Last, but what’s worse is the tally of avowed racists occupying high federal positions, including “Vice President JD Vance, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem," as indicated by a recent Homeland Security post claiming to seek the deportation of "100 million" deportations.

“There are 43 million foreign-born Americans. Most of them are legal immigrants. In order to perform 100 million deportations, DHS would have to round up every immigrant of any status —even naturalized citizens — and then also snatch 57 million American who are citizens by birth and deport them, too,” said Last.

“Want to guess who those other 57 million Americans might be?” Last asked, before sharing a recent U.S. Department of Labor X post ordering Americans “To remember who you are.” Last said this slogan is a dead ringer from Adolf Hitler’s own iconic “One People, One Country, One Leader” post from the 1940s. Couple that with a volley of blonde, blue-eyed propaganda posts from Trump’s Department of Labor, and you’ve got even more insight.

“On the one hand, it feels weird to say that the U.S. government is attempting some low-key ethnic cleansing,” said Last. “On the other hand, the reality is that we have a masked secret police force going door-to-door attempting to kidnap brown people; one government agency publicly daydreaming about deporting 100 million people; and another government agency saying that the ideal worker is a 20-year-old white guy.”

Last said this information mingles horribly with the White House’s obsession with white Americans’ falling fertility rate and it’s constant citation of “Stuff white people like” including false claims that white men who “did extremely well” in high school are not getting invited to college despite white men having a “significant advantage” during the application process.

AN 1 26

The Trump administration provoked horror this week with the suggestion that the United States could be turned into a paradise if over a quarter of the people in the country were deported.

On Wednesday, the official social media account for the Department of Homeland Security posted a piece of artwork depicting a pink late-1960s Cadillac Eldorado parked on a bright, idyllic beach. Over the clear blue sky are the words “America after 100 million deportations.The post was captioned by the agency: “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

Social media users later discovered that DHS had, ironically, stolen the image from the Japanese pop artist Hiroshi Nagai without giving credit.

It is hardly the first time the administration has used edgy and inflammatory social media posts to promote its agenda. But DHS has come under particular scrutiny for its style of communication, which often evokes white nationalist rhetoric and symbolism.

Posts by the agency have cheered “remigration,” a term that far-right parties in Europe have often used to describe the forced repatriation of nonwhite populations, including citizens. Other posts have referred to President Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” campaign as part of an effort to defend American “heritage” and “culture.”

The agency frequently evokes images of the American frontier and references “Manifest Destiny,” at times explicitly posting artwork glorifying the forced displacement of Native American populations.

An image by the agency, featuring a chiseled Uncle Sam calling on Americans to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” was even directly sourced from an overt neo-Nazi account.

The agency has only continued to double down in the face of criticism this week. On Friday, it posted that “2026 will be the year of American Supremacy” over an image of then-Gen. George Washington crossing the Delaware River, which was emblazoned with the words “Return this Land,” a possible reference to a recently-founded “whites-only” town in rural Arkansas known as “Return to the Land.”

But Wednesday’s post calling for “100 million deportations” specifically was perhaps the most direct nod yet to those who believe the United States must be reconstituted as a white nation. As social media users were quick to point out, only about 47 million people living in America are foreign-born, according to the US Census Bureau.

Even if the administration kicked out every single immigrant—including legal residents and naturalized citizens—meeting such a goal would mean deporting 53 million people who were born in the US and are legally entitled to citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

If the use of the phrase “third world” did not make it obvious enough, the specific number—100 million—seems to betray the racial motivation behind the message.

Citing 2020 census data on the Wikipedia page for “Demographics of the United States,” one social media user pointed out that approximately 100 million people in the US identified as nonwhite.

The DHS post drew comparisons to one made earlier this year by the close Trump ally and unofficial White House operative Laura Loomer, who suggested that thanks to “Alligator Alcatraz,” the massive internment camp in Florida for those arrested by immigration agents, “the alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals,” which referenced the total number of Hispanic people in the United States.

While it’s almost certainly not possible for the administration to conduct a deportation campaign of such a staggering scale within Trump’s term of office, the administration’s latest post was frightening to many observers, even as they acknowledged that it was a “troll post” meant to rile people up.

It is still reflective of the Trump administration’s ideology with respect to immigration. Leaders of Trump’s deportation effort have acknowledged that they target people based on their appearance, and many nonwhite US citizens have been caught in the dragnet. Meanwhile, its refugee policy has welcomed only white South Africans, as Trump has enacted what he says is a “permanent pause on migration from all Third World Countries.”

During 2026, the administration has said it plans to target hundreds of US citizens each month for “denaturalization,” and Trump has called for it to be used against his most prominent critics, including the Somali-American Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and New York’s first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

“This is absolutely insane Nazi propaganda, posted by the US government,” said Ben Norton, editor of the Geopolitical Economy Report in response to DHS’s call for“100 million deportations.”

“It makes it clear that the Trump administration’s mass deportation drive is not actually about ‘illegal immigration.’ There are estimated to be 14 million undocumented immigrants in the US. But the fascist DHS wants to deport 100 million people,” Norton continued. “This is a call by the US regime for ethnic cleansing of racial minorities, to create a white-supremacist regime without anyone with ‘third world’ heritage.”

Visitors to an American military cemetery in the Netherlands are pushing back following the removal of plaques honoring Black veterans of World War II, according to an NBC News report, seemingly done as part of Donald Trump's anti-diversity crusade.

Per the report, "visitors have filled the guestbook with objections" since the plaques came down earlier this year at the visitor center for the American Cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands. The two displays honored Black soldiers who took part in the war effort and helped liberate Europe from Nazi control. Operated by the American Battle Monuments Commission, the cemetery is the final resting place for around 8,300 American soldiers.

As NBC noted, the cemetery's graves themselves were dug by an all-Black contingent of soldiers.

"One display told the story of 23-year-old George H. Pruitt, a Black soldier buried at the cemetery, who died attempting to rescue a comrade from drowning in 1945," the report explained. The other described the U.S. policy of racial segregation in place during World War II. Some 1 million Black soldiers enlisted in the U.S. military during the war, serving in separate units, mostly doing menial tasks but also fighting in some combat missions. An all-Black unit dug the thousands of graves in Margraten during the brutal 1944-45 season of famine in the German-occupied Netherlands known as the Hunger Winter."

Emails obtained by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and Dutch News confirmed that the decision to remove the plaques was in direct response to Trump's executive order targeting "diversity, equity and inclusion" programs, an order which has since impacted a wide array of displays, memorials and programs honoring African-American history.

US Ambassador to the Netherlands Joe Popolo -- one of the many wealthy businesspeople and GOP megadonors named to European diplomatic roles by Trump -- spoke out in support of the removal, arguing that the "signs at Margraten are not intended to promote an agenda that criticizes America."

The displays were reportedly removed without any public notice, prompting anger from visiting Americans, as well as local officials and residents. One local who spoke out against the removal to NBC News was 79-year-old Cor Linssen, the son of a Black US soldier and a Dutch mother. Linssen, along with a group of other children of Black US soldiers, visited the cemetery to view the plaques together back in February.

“It’s an important part of history,” Linssen said. “They should put the panels back.”

AN 12 25

After President Donald Trump's bitter diatribe against Somali-Americans — including progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) — he got a vigorous defense from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Trump described Somali-Americans living in Minnesota as "garbage," calling for them to be deported "back to where they came from." And Leavitt praised his comments as "amazing" and an "epic moment."

Greg Sargent, host of The New Republic's podcast "The Daily Blast," discussed Leavitt's defense of Trump with former U.S. State Department official Vedant Patel in episode posted on December 8.

Sargent, a former Washington Post columnist, argued that Leavitt "went full cult in giving White House sanction to Trump's ugly bigotry."

Sargent told Patel, "White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to this with obsequious praise, calling it 'epic.' We thought this was a telling moment. The Trump cult has gotten so out of control that his propagandists now go out of their way to deliberately highlight his most racist and disgusting moments and pump those up into moments of heroism and triumph. Meanwhile, almost no Republicans had anything critical to say about any of this. In fact, JD Vance pounded the table in agreement with Trump on Somalis. How far is this madness going to get?"

Sargent got no argument from Patel, who served in the State Department under former President Joe Biden.

Patel told Sargent, "I want to say that I wish I were surprised, but truly, Greg, I mean, this is a playbook out of the president's first administration. I mean, I think you recall that there was a really poignant moment in which President Trump was saying that he didn't want immigrants from a certain fill-in-the-blanks, swear-word types of countries. This is the exact playbook that we've seen before of dividing this country, targeting sort of immigrant communities. It's despicable."

When Sargent told his guest that the "cultishness is off the charts" with Trump's second administration, Patel responded, "I certainly would say so."

Patel continued, "Let's put the policy aside just for a second. Let's put the Somali piece aside for just a moment. I worked in the press office under President Biden. That is not the way you are supposed to be doing media relations. Let's remember that these are spokespeople that should be working. Yes, they work for a president, but really, ultimately, their job is to try to inform the American public, be good arbiters of truth and good engagers with journalists, help answer questions, help inform coverage and stories and TV packages and things of that nature. It is not to be sycophants and just be partisan hacks with a taxpayer dime."

In a newly released 33-page document called "the National Security Strategy of the United States of America," the Trump Administration details its foreign policy objectives — including its views on Europe, which Trump officials claim is in danger of "civilization erasure."

Salon's Andrew O'Hehir analyzes the document in an article published on December 7, attacking the Trump White House's arguments as an "unhinged" and deeply racist blueprint for "making Europe white again."

O'Hehir draws a parallel between the arguments in the National Security Strategy (NSS) document and arguments of the Clairmont Institute, which was once a mainstream conservative think tank but has, in recent years, taken a far-right MAGA turn.

"To be fair, the poison-steeped Claremont Institute pseudo-intellectuals behind the Trump regime might well argue that their NSS is not contradictory in the least, since it can be boiled down to a straightforward message: Tyranny is awesome, but democracy sucks," O'Hehir warns. "OK, it doesn't actually say that, but it's hard to imagine how else to reconcile its Great Replacement-fueled fanboy enthusiasm for far-right parties in Europe and its high-minded refusal to lecture autocratic regimes in the Middle East and Asia about 'democratic or other social change that differs widely from their traditions and histories.' Understandably enough, it's the unhinged and unconcealed racist panic shoveled out in the Trump NSS that has generated international headlines."

The Salon journalist continues, "Europe, the document warns, is losing its historic cultural identity and faces the 'stark prospect of civilizational erasure.' Exactly what is meant here by 'identity' and 'civilization' is only barely left unsaid, and the Great Replacement rhetoric is not so much borrowed as copied and pasted: It is 'more than plausible,' we are told, that in coming decades, 'certain NATO members will become majority non-European,' and may no longer 'view their place in the world, or their alliance with the United States, in the same way' they used to."

The "point" of the NSS, O'Hehir laments, is to "rip the liberal democracies of the EU a new one for their perceived wokeness."

"If we try to map the NSS claims onto the realm of reality," O'Hehir writes, "they fall apart. But that's hardly the point: It is not, in fact, plausible that any European nation will have a Muslim-majority population, or a mostly nonwhite population, or anything close to that, in the foreseeable future. Second and far more important, what message is being sent when the government of a multiethnic democracy built on three centuries of immigration — roughly 99 percent of the U.S. population has ancestral ties to other continents — makes the official claim that 'immigrants will corrupt the values of the societies they move to,' as The Economist puts it?"

According to O'Hehir, the NSS "is dangerous because no American president, whether good, bad or indifferent, clear back to roughly the days of Andrew Jackson, would have published such blatant racist fiction as an official statement of U.S. foreign policy."

During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump unleashed a racist attack on Somalia and Somali immigrants, declaring that they are "garbage" and "we don’t want them in our country."

On his Tuesday night program, Hitler-loving racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic,Christian nationalist, fascist, white nationalist Nick Fuentes not only celebrated Trump's comments, but took credit for provoking them.

Fuentes, who dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, became a vocal critic during the 2024 presidential campaign, largely over Trump's decision to name "race traitor" Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate.

Now, Fuentes is claiming that it was his relentless criticism of Trump that prompted the president to "pander to us."

"This is why we need to be negative," Fuentes said. "This is why we need to threaten to withhold our support. This is why we need to make it unignorable and visible, because if we do, then Trump will be forced to pander to us. And he knows how to do it. Nobody is better than him. We just need to create the need, the impetus, for it."

"And now that that has happened, like clockwork, what does Trump do?" Fuentes continued. "He dusts off the old playbook and we get Trump 2016 all over again. You're welcome. I'll never get any credit for it, but you are welcome for giving you Trump 2016 back."

Fuentes said that the administration has been "a nonstop disaster" and that Trump himself is deeply unpopular, which is forcing Trump to revert to his overtly racist 2016 campaign style in order to appeal to his disenchanted base.

"How do you get the politicians to do what you want them to do?" Fuentes declared. "Threaten to withhold support. Critique them. Attack them. Do it from the right. It doesn't matter if you do it from the left—the left is already the enemy—do it from inside, do it from within the right wing."

"Look at how we got Trump to cave in such a short amount of time, and look at how beautifully he delivered," Fuentes gloated. "Look at how beautifully he understood the assignment completely. He comes out and says, 'All these brown people do is bitch in their hijabs and they're ungrateful and they stink and we don't want him here.' It couldn't be better if you dreamed it up."

"It was delivered to us on a silver platter because we threatened to withhold our support, because we said we don't like Trump anymore, and now this is what we get," he added. "It's a desperate bid to get our support back, and he knows what to do. He always has. We just need to give him a reason to play that out."

The true risk behind Trump's purges

Thom Hartmann November 14, 2025

The American media refuses to call them out, so I guess the job falls to me: you can cut the racism with a knife, it’s so thick. With the Trump administration, the Confederacy is actively rising again, using the Lost Cause mythology/lie as its basis.

Trump this past week, apparently just in time for Veterans Day, erased tributes to Black U.S. soldiers who died fighting fascism — removing displays and plaques honoring African American liberators in Europe and removing similar memorial content at home — not merely to rewrite history but to say that only white men’s stories matter.

First, he claimed that brown-skinned people from south of the border were “murderers and rapists,” openly promoting racist tropes and activating enthusiastic bigots all across America to his side.

He whipped up a white mob who attacked the Capitol building and beat Black Capitol Police officers, while he watched on TV with apparent glee. He then pardoned all of them.

He reinstalled the statue of notorious Klan member, traitor, and Confederate general Albert Pike, while removing references to the horrors of slavery or early American presidents’ slaveholding from national parks and other federal monuments.

Trump’s white supremacists removed references to Black and female soldiers’ sacrifices from the Arlington Memorial Cemetery website.

Meanwhile, “Whiskey” Pete Hegseth is sweeping out senior‐level military leaders — women and people of color disproportionately — for daring to exist in leadership, and has ended military recognition of Black and women’s history events.

Trump’s henchman Russell Vought is finishing DOGE’s purge of Civil Service protections and DEI programs, with Black men and women especially hit hard.

This isn’t mere bureaucratic housekeeping: it’s the return of a white-male-supremacist architecture taking root in the GOP and the administration with echoes of the old Confederacy and the masked Klan in modern uniforms and executive orders.

But the even larger issue here is not only the racism: it’s the systematic assault on democracy and diversity itself. This is not just about statues or plaques or websites. It’s about the rewriting of our national identity, the redefinition of who counts as American, and the hasty, one-presidential-term reconstruction of a two-tier democracy: one for white men and one for everyone else.

Democracy depends on memory. When we lose sight of who fought, bled, and sacrificed to make this country more just, we lose our understanding of what democracy is supposed to mean. By erasing Black liberators, women leaders, and the long, painful march toward equality, this administration is saying: Only one story matters: the white, male, Confederate one.

That’s not just historical revisionism; it’s political weaponry. It’s a way of teaching future generations that the only people who truly belong in the story of America are white men with power.

This is how authoritarianism takes root, not just through violence, but through erasure. When diversity and equality are scrubbed from public memory, when entire groups of Americans are made invisible, it becomes easier to justify their exclusion in the present.

And once exclusion is normalized, democracy itself begins to die.

This Confederate revival we’re witnessing is not nostalgia: it’s a blueprint. The Lost Cause myth was always about rewriting defeat as heroism, slavery as benevolence, and white dominance as divine order.

That same logic is now being reinstalled at the highest levels of government. It’s an ideology that says equality is a threat and diversity is an invasion. It recasts white resentment as patriotism and paints those demanding fairness as enemies of the state. It’s why Hegseth condemned DEI in front of his generals and admirals and Trump and Fox “News” constantly rail against it.

But democracy, real democracy, cannot coexist with white supremacy. The two are fundamentally opposed.

Democracy requires inclusion, the recognition that every person’s voice and dignity matter. Diversity is not a “side issue” or a “political correctness” distraction; it is — as Ronald Reagan pointed out (ironically) — the very mechanism that keeps democracy alive. Reagan famously said (and Trump now repudiates):

“This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America’s greatness. We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people — our strength — from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation.

“While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow.

“Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier.

“This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.”

A government that silences or excludes women, Black people, immigrants, and other marginalized voices is no longer democratic and no longer looking or striving toward the future. It is frozen, stale, hierarchical, authoritarian, and fragile.

When the Trump administration erases diversity from its institutions — by firing people of color, ending DEI programs, banning the celebration of women’s history or Black soldiers’ sacrifices — it is not just discriminating. It is redefining the nation’s soul.

It is saying: only white male Americans count. Only they deserve to be remembered. Only they deserve to hold power, control wealth, and lead.

That is a true danger.

It’s an attempt to create a pseudo-democracy that exists in name only, one that maintains the trappings of elections and laws but has hollowed out the moral core of equality beneath them that upholds and sustains our republican system.

If this continues unchecked, we won’t simply be facing a rollback of rights; we’ll be watching the slow, deliberate dismantling of this noble 249-year democratic experiment itself.

And so, we must fight, not just for memory, but for meaning. We must insist that our national story remain whole and honest. We must demand that the sacrifices of every American — Black, brown, white, female, queer, immigrant — are honored, taught, and celebrated.

Because democracy without diversity is tyranny in disguise.

All Americans of conscience and goodwill must demand an end to these purges of women and minorities in memorials, jobs, the military, and civil service.

We must demand that our politicians stand up to Trump and his white supremacist lickspittle’s while insisting on a return to our foundational promise: equality, equal opportunity, and recognition for every person who serves and sacrifices.

Because if we don’t stop them now, the erasures become the new normal and our children will wake up in a country that no longer remembers it ever stood for freedom at all.

an sn 10 25 see ny yr nba = zoo, gas dems, i love hitler

A Politico article about a leaked group chat of Young Republican leaders from across the country making racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments includes two people from Arizona, one of whom has documented ties to the white nationalist groyper movement.

The group chat of top officials in Young Republican Federation chapters from across the country, dubbed “RESTOREYR,” was leaked to Politico, which reported on a litany of comments made by participants. Offensive comments included making racist remarks about Black people, talking about putting Democrats in gas chambers, forcibly raping their enemies and more. The chat includes more than 250 slurs and one person saying “I love Hitler,” according to Politico.

One of the members of the chat was Arizona Young Republican Chairman Luke Mosiman, 25, who was alleged to have made racially charged comments about Black people and even floated an idea of linking their opponents in an election over control of the Young Republican National Federation to white supremacist groups — before saying it could backfire because it could result in the Young Republicans they needed to win the elections instead backing their opponent.

The Young Republican National Federation released a statement following the Politico report condemning the comments and calling for those involved to resign “from all positions within their state and local Young Republican organizations.”

In Kansas, the chairman of the state’s Republican Party announced that their Young Republicans chapter, which was involved in the chat leaks, was shut down. And he Arizona Republican Party came out strongly against the “disturbing language” used by Young Republican leaders in a statement released shortly after the story was published Tuesday

But Mosiman and the Arizona Young Republicans resisted the call that he and Rachel Hope, whose comments in the group chat were also mentioned in Politico’s story, resign. In a written statement released late Wednesday, the group instead cast Mosiman and Hope, who is the organization’s events chair, as victims, saying they “firmly reject any involvement in the ongoing political witch hunt targeting fellow Young Republican members.”

Their statement called it “disheartening” to “witness the double standard” displayed by their opponents within the conservative movement. They also lashed out at critics, saying some have failed to condemn violent texts by Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones or social media posts celebrating the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, who was killed last month.

However, the group did condemn “Nazi ideology,” though its statement fell short of acknowledging what was said or apologizing for it.

“We express our sincere regret and unequivocally condemn any rhetoric that could be interpreted as sympathetic to Nazi ideology,” the statement says. The lengthy statement also says that the group has concerns over the way the messages were obtained and their validity.

Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has claimed online, posting a sworn affidavit, that the chats were leaked by Gavin Wax, a staffer in Trump’s State Department who formerly led the New York Young Republican club, whose own problematic chats were revealed in 2023.

Mosiman has been viewed by some as a rising star in Arizona conservative politics, but he also has close ties with the far-right and had courted controversy long before the group chat.

Hitler’s birthday

In April 2022, U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar was listed as a “special guest” at an event in Tempe scheduled for April 20, a date that is revered by white supremacists and neo-Nazis because it is Adolf Hitler’s birthday.

The event had been organized by the American Populist Union, a white nationalist group that is closely aligned with groypers, the name for a group of young, male white nationalists who strive for their ideas to become a part of the Republican mainstream and are largely followers of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. In 2021, Gosar was the first elected official to speak at Fuentes’ America First Political Action Conference.

After the Mirror reported on Gosar’s promotion and anticipated attendance at the event and spurred national media coverage, Gosar pulled out. His office said he was never planning to attend, even though he promoted it on his social media accounts.

Mosiman attended, and was later featured in photos posted by APU and in. Mosiman also follows a number of accounts connected to the groyper movement on his X account.

“Like it or not, Nick Fuentes is becoming a force in the GOP, you all need to understand that,” Mosiman said in a March 2021 tweet. “Stop acting like it’s a few nut cases, it’s not. Ignoring it isn’t working.”

Mosiman went on to say that he wasn’t a Fuentes supporter but he had watched his “Afpac speech” and it “was not bad.”

In that 2021 AFPAC speech, Fuentes called the Jan. 6 insurrection, where seven people died, “lighthearted mischief” and stressed white nationalist talking points. Mosiman was also photographed in September 2021 protesting U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly by the groyper-aligned Arizona College Republicans United. The photograph was posted in Instagram with the caption “CRU executed a protest with Groypers against Senator Mark Kelly.”

Far-right YouTuber John Doyle, one of the featured speakers at the April 2022 APU event, organized a “Stop the Steal” rally in Michigan with Fuentes and has posted highly misogynistic content, such as saying that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Doyle, along with other members of APU, were also in attendance at the first 76Fest, which one of its organizers dubbed “Hitler Youth, without the Hitler.”

Mosiman also promoted an event in December 2021 that he called “one of the most based events of the year” which was being put on by Republicans for National Renewal, which has ties to ethno-nationalism, and co-hosted by APU.

That event brought local politicians face to face with a host of far-right extremists, including a number of prominent groypers.

APU has denied ties to white nationalism or knowledge of the significance of the date of its 4/20 event.

TPUSA and Arizona lawmakers

But Mosiman’s involvement in Arizona politics goes beyond the groyper movement.

Online, Mosiman often interacted with many local politicians, and in recent years started coming to the defense of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA.

“I used to be not a huge fan of TPUSA, but after seeing hard working and effective conservatives like (Austin Smith) and (Tyler Bowyer), I changed my mind,” Mosiman wrote on X in 2022, referring to two of the Arizona-based group’s leaders.

Both Smith and Bowyer are listed as members of the advisory team for the Arizona Young Republicans chapter that Mosiman leads. TPUSA did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Neither did Nancy Cottle, Republican state Rep. Matt Gress and GOP state Sen. Jake Hoffman, who were also listed as advisory board members.

The website for the Arizona Young Republicans went offline on Wednesday, but archived snapshots were still online.

“Without a doubt, Turning Point Action had the most meaningful grassroots impact on Arizona,” Mosiman wrote on X on Nov. 11, 2024, shortly after last year’s election. “Hats off to (Tyler Bowyer) and his phenomenal staff.”

Bowyer is the Chief Operating Officer of Turning Point Action, the political action arm of Turning Point USA.

TPUSA has long been a target of the groyper movement ,but in recent years has seen itself move farther to the right and courting controversy for hiring racists.

'Wannabe dictator': Governor dares 'unhinged' Trump to carry out threat to jail him

//

an 10 25

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker issued a new warning on Wednesday about President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy the American military in US cities against the wishes of local elected officials.

Hours after Trump called for Pritzker’s imprisonment in a Wednesday morning Truth Social post, the Illinois governor claimed in an interview with MSNBC that the president’s ultimate goal with sending troops into US cities was to control the outcomes of future elections.

”He wants to militarize major cities across the United States, especially blue cities in blue states, because he wants us to get used to the idea of military on the streets,” he said. “2026 elections, I believe he’s going to post people outside ballot boxes and polling places, and, if he needs to in order to control those elections, he’ll assume control of the ballot boxes and count the votes himself.”

Pritzker pointed out that Trump considered ordering the military to seize ballot boxes after he lost the 2020 presidential election, but he was met with resistance from officials in his own administration.

However, Pritzker said that “I believe he would do it in 2026” to help Republicans maintain control of Congress.

Pritzker also struck a defiant tone when asked about Trump’s call to imprison him.

”This guy’s a convicted felon who’s threatening to jail me!” he exclaimed. “This guy is unhinged. He’s insecure. He’s a wannabe dictator. And there’s one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

Pritzker’s remarks come as Trump and his administration have deployed Texas National Guard soldiers to Chicago over the objections of both Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. The state and city are challenging the deployment in court.

Federal immigration officials have been employing increasingly aggressive and violent tactics in the Chicago area in recent weeks, including attacking a journalist and a protesting priest with pepper balls outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility; slamming a congressional candidate to the ground; dragging US citizens, including children, out of their homes during a raid in the middle of the night; and fatally shooting a man during a traffic stop.

In an exclusive story, Politico got access to thousands of private messages revealing young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers and slavery, among other "insensitive and inexcusable" topics.

The chats took place on theTelegram app, Politico reports. In them, they "referred to Black people as monkeys and 'the watermelon people' and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers."

Kansas Young Republicans vice chair William Hendrix, former vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans Bobby Walker and Chairman of the Association of New York State Young Republican Clubs Peter Giunta were among the Republican leaders named in the report.

“Can we fix the showers?” Joe Maligno, who previously identified himself as the general counsel for the New York State Young Republicans, replied.

“I’m ready to watch people burn now,” Annie Kaykaty, New York’s national committeewoman, said.

The 2,900 pages of chats shared among young Republicans between January and mid-August also featured members talking "about the pressure to cow to Trump to avoid being called a RINO."

Giunta, Politco reports, apologized, saying “I am so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable language found within the more than 28,000 messages of a private group chat that I created during my campaign to lead the Young Republicans."

“While I take complete responsibility, I have had no way of verifying their accuracy and am deeply concerned that the message logs in question may have been deceptively doctored," Giunta said.

Social media, however, wasn't so accepting of the apology, nor were they surprised about the context of the messages.

"Shocked. Shocked I tell you. Who could have expected this from them?" wrote veteran Kirk Wolffon X.

"This is Charlie Kirk's legacy," wrote Drew Smith on X.

"They can't even scream liberal 'fake news!' cause it was leaked by Republicans," wrote Profiteroles Carmichael on X.

"This is sickening, the rhetoric needs to be toned down on both sides, and even though I voted for Pres Trump 3 times, he needs to stop it too, we need a calm leader who wants to unite the country, not childish memes and name calling," wrote Sherri Twigg on X.

Brian Sauvé Calls For Rebellious Young Black Men To Be Killed By The State

10/06/2025

by

Kyle Mantyla

Brian Sauvé and Eric Conn, two far-right Christian nationalist pastors at Refuge Church in Utah, dedicated a recent episode of their "The King's Hall" podcast to discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was brutally killed by a mentally ill Black man while riding a metro train in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this year.

During the program, Sauvé and Conn—who are both aligned with racist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon, having made multiple appearances at his conferences and on his podcast—blamed the murder on "black culture," and called for "rebellious" young Black men to be executed by the state, in accordance with the Bible.

"Let's say that somebody was coming into our church and they're Black," Sauvé said. "Would they be eligible for membership in our church? Yes, of course they would. They'd be eligible for membership in our church. But would they be permitted to participate in, embody, and practice what I would call black culture generally in our church? The answer is absolutely not. Why? Because the things, the characteristics that mark black culture [are] as a generalization in the same way Paul's talking about Cretans on Crete: They are evil, murderous, violent, bestial people; they steal, they kill, they destroy, they look like Satan in how they act, they are sinful to the core, they have besetting sins that are like fatherlessness, sexual immorality, they molest children at a high rate. Any criminal statistic that you could look at almost pretty much without exception, they excel at them, black culture.

"When we make this generalization, one of the purposes of it," Sauvé added, "[is] for policymakers to make the kind of political movements in terms of law and order that would usher in the change over time of that culture. One of them would be something like ... the law of Moses in Deuteronomy 21 concerning a rebellious child."

"I think it's something like five percent of Black males are murderers," Sauvé continued. "If you take that and then you took a law like Deuteronomy 21, which is a just law that got enacted through Moses; the law was that if you had a rebellious son, you have a child who's coming up into their manhood and they're rebellious, they don't listen—he lists some characteristics—and even though they're disciplined, they will not turn, he says the father is to bring them out into the town square, this is a rebellious son, and then they stone him to death. They kill him."

"And an armed robber would certainly be one of those," Conn replied.

"Oh, absolutely, Sauvé agreed. "Armed robber, all the ghetto culture; basically, take ghetto culture, it would describe this to a T. If you did that over three generations, how much violent crime would you have in the third and fourth generation? Much, much less."

"What we've done instead is we've actually, with unjust weights and measures, we have wildly penalized Whites for even virtuous acts in lawfare," Sauvé claimed. "Because liberals have appointed Blacks to positions of power, and they're practicing ethnic and racial in-group preference, like the several Black women who were involved in releasing Decarlos [Brown], the murderer in the city of Charlotte ... His younger brother was a murderer in prison. His father was a violent criminal. Okay, so there's two sons and a father. If they'd cut that line off back the generation or two before, there's no Decarlos to slit the throat."

"In this case, [we have] the double whammy of Black female judges [and] politicians who have appointed these sorts of people," Sauvé said. "If you look at who appointed the judge and the judge that released them, it's two Black women. And what did they do? They said, 'Oh, it's mental health, it's homelessness, it's this, it's that. It's not a criminal tendency of Black males that needs to be cut off through the wielding of the sword by the civil magistrate.'"

The federal government shutdown is curtailing even some of the Trump administration’s more theatrical communications, even as its confrontational style persists.

With the government shutdown underway, large portions of the White House press apparatus have been furloughed, forcing delays or suspensions in routine operations.

One outcome of this development is that media requests directed to the press office now trigger an automated response warning of slower turnaround times, The Daily Beast reportedThursday.

“Due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown, the typical 24/7 monitoring of this press inbox may experience delays. We ask for your patience as our staff work to field your requests promptly,” it states.

“As you await a response, please remember this could have been avoided if the Democrats voted for the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open. The press office also cannot accommodate waves, requests or escorts at this time," it adds.

Efforts at online provocation, ranging from memes and insulting retorts to AI‑driven caricatures, have long been central to the administration’s communications strategy.

The report noted that there have been multiple instances in which the White House responded to media queries with meme images or taunts like “Cry more, libs.” In one widely noted case, a meme of a man with a bicycle attached to his head, captioned “dOeS ThE MeMe mAkE sEnSe????????,” was reportedly sent in response to a request for comment.

The press team has also used profanity when responding to perceived slight: at one point calling a reporter “f——ing blind or stupid," the report noted.

The shutdown has not entirely silenced such messaging. On Wednesday, a looping AI‑generated video played in the James S. Brady briefing room, showing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) wearing a sombrero and mustache while a deepfake audio attributed to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claimed “nobody likes Democrats because of woke trans bulls——."

White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson told the Washington Post: “The sombreros will continue until the Democrats reopen the government!”

Observers view these tactics as part of a broader shift in the White House’s role, from traditional press office to an aggressive rapid‑response operation that deploys memes, social media content, and confrontational messaging to shape public discourse.

While the staff-less communications unit may delay internal functions, the administration appears to be maintaining its provocative posture in the public square.

During a confrontation on the House floor Tuesday, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) pressed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) about President Donald Trump’s sharing of an AI‑generated video, which some have termed racially offensive. Johnson responded, “It wasn’t my style.”

When Dean challenged him further — calling the video “disgraceful” and “racist” and urging him to denounce it — Johnson walked away, later telling her, “I’m working on it. And personally, it’s not my style.”

President Donald Trump's 'Reverse Robin Hood" policies of taking from the poor and giving to the rich isn't just making people poorer, but it's leading to the "collapse of democracy and civil society," according to Salon's senior politics writer Chauncey DeVega.

"Whether the American people are capable of connecting poverty, inequality and homelessness to the collapse of democracy and civil society under Trumpism" is an entirely other question, DeVega adds.

Pointing to what he deems "The Big Vile Bill," DeVega cites a pollby University of Chicago and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research showing a "stark" divide in which it's clear, according toNew York Timescolumnist Jamelle Bouie, that the "American right sees the market as the ultimate decider of survival."

READ MORE:'Irrational': GOP senators are 'sick of' Trump’s 'love affair with everything Putin'

In that poll, “Republicans are more likely than Democrats to cite personal choices as major factors for both poverty (77 percent vs. 49 percent) and homelessness (77 percent vs. 51 percent),” whereas, “In contrast, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to cite lack of government support as major factors for both poverty (61 percent vs. 21 percent) and homelessness (63 percent vs. 26 percent).”

DeVega says this split is deepening, and "since Trump’s return to power, this right-wing moral economy has become even more hard-hearted."

As a result, the right-wing "moral economy," DeVega notes, has led conservatives to "increasingly view human empathy as a weakness, something wholly alien," as seen recently when Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested executing homeless people.

READ MORE:'Speechless': Free speech advocates rip Trump AG’s 'psychotic' claim about Charlie Kirk'

And while Republicans are "driven by small government ethos," DeVega says, "as Trump expands his power and control over all areas of American life, those same so-called principled conservatives who spent decades howling about 'states’ rights' and 'big government' have fallen deafeningly silent."

The performative patriotism of the right, draping themselves in American flags and waving pocket Constitutions, DeVega says, has now "been revealed as a sham — and about obtaining power to impose their will on other people."

And when it comes to the social safety net, "white working-class people who form the base of Trump’s MAGA movement — hold some alarming ideas," says DeVega.

Among those ideas the author notes: "They support government assistance primarily for white people like themselves, whom they deem deserving and to be 'real Americans.'"

READ MORE: 'Deeply troubling': Military expert warns Trump is unilaterally 'deciding to kill people'

When they use programs like welfare or food stamps, they see it as temporary and justified, DeVega says.

"But when Black and brown people — especially women — use the same programs, they are labeled lazy, undeserving takers or 'welfare queens,'" the author writes.

These callous views, DeVega notes, are of another era. "A society’s values are, in large part, reflected by how it treats its most vulnerable members — and America in the 21st century is growing increasingly Dickensian."

As American society continues to fracture, the public and their leaders must broaden their understanding of how poverty and other forms of social inequality are directly linked to structural — and political — violence, DeVega says.

“We live with this kind of violence, we experience it, every single day. We just don’t call it ‘political.’ To conservatives, it’s not even violence," writes author Jessica Valenti, who says that pregnant women dying of sepsis, abortion provider assassinations, school shootings and people dying from insurance claim denials are all examples of political violence.

“We live with this kind of violence, we experience it, every single day. We just don’t call it ‘political.’ To conservatives, it’s not even violence," Valenti says.

The social safety net that is supposed to protect people, DeVega writes, saying, "Healthy democracies have a strong social safety net that helps to prevent and alleviate poverty and other forms of social inequality."

Unfortunately, authoritarians and demagogues don't have much concern for the public good, DeVega says. In fact, they thrive on misery And therein lies the problem.

"These leaders have an interest in keeping their constituents vulnerable. Economic insecurity breeds malleability, and an increased willingness to seek out the protection of a strongman,"DeVega concludes. "Inequality, they know, is a dagger to the heart of democracy — and it’s one they enthusiastically wield."

Behind Trump's latest purge — and why MAGA's no longer pretending

Thom Hartmann August 22, 2025

In his novel 1984, George Orwell warned, “Those who control the present control the past, and those who control the past control the future.” Today, Donald Trump and the GOP have weaponized that prophecy, twisting it into the foundation of their crusade to Make America White Again.

What they are building is not a political movement but a parallel nation — a MAGAstan — where loyalty oaths replace truth, history is scrubbed clean of slavery and racism, and authoritarian obedience is demanded in the name of patriotism.

This is America’s homegrown Taliban, and they’re no longer pretending to hide their intentions.

When the Oklahoma Department of Education rolled out its new “America First” MAGA certification exam for teachers, designed with the help of a rightwing propaganda outlet, it wasn’t about improving education. It was about making sure that any teacher who dares to acknowledge the realities of race, gender, or American history is shut out of the profession.

Applicants from California or New York now must take a test that appears to demand perfect answers on questions about civics, chromosomes, religion, and so-called gender ideology. It’s not an exam, it’s a political loyalty test, and it fits neatly into the larger pattern we are seeing in Republican politics today. They aren’t hiding their racism or misogyny anymore. They’re reveling in it.

That reality was underscored by Trump’s latest tantrum against the Smithsonian and other museums. On his Nazi-infested social media platform, Trump complained that our museums are “out of control” because they talk about “how bad slavery was,” racism, and the struggles of the downtrodden. He whined that there is “nothing about success, nothing about brightness, nothing about the future”

What he really means is that America should stop teaching about slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, and ongoing systemic racism and instead return to a whitewashed myth of national greatness that erases Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized voices.

His words are a plain translation of the GOP’s broader war on what they call “woke.” Being “anti-woke” is just a thinly veiled way of saying, “We’re okay with racism and misogyny.”

And Trump is the perfect avatar for this reinvention of the Confederacy, as I detail in my newest book The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink.

Trump’s and his GOP’s pro-racism neofascist purges go far beyond education and museums; they’ve also gone after the federal workforce with a vengeance. They canceled the government’s annual employee survey, gutted DEI programs across every agency, and are mass-firing federal workers, particularly in agencies that employ large numbers of Black women.

The so-called Department of Government Efficiency — run by a Nazi-saluting white South African immigrant — put more than a quarter of a million jobs on the chopping block, devastating communities where civil service has long been the pathway into the middle class.

Black Americans, particularly Black women, have disproportionately relied on those jobs for stability and upward mobility. Taking them away isn’t about saving taxpayer money: it’s a targeted attack, designed to roll back decades of progress.

At the same time, groups aligned with Trump are publishing watchlists of federal workers they call “subversives,” lists overwhelmingly filled with women and people of color. Those people are now being hounded, relocated, or forced out altogether.

Senior women and Black leaders in the military are being fired or pushed into retirement. Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, NATO’s only woman on its military committee, was removed. Army Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland, who had led military healthcare, was forced to resign after 32 years of service.

These purges are political, not professional. They’re designed to restore the military to a largely all-white, all-male leadership structure. And at the same time, Trump and his enablers are working to rename bases after Confederate generals and restore monuments dedicated to traitors who fought against democracy to preserve slavery.

And now Trump is claiming — against the statistics — that crime in Washington, DC is “out of control.” This is Nixon’s Southern Strategy — blame crime on Black people while turning the country into a police state — on steroids.

Racism is the thread that ties all of this together.

When five Republicans on the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder, Republicans wasted no time enacting voter suppression laws that disproportionately disenfranchised Black voters. When Republicans on the Court blessed partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause, Republican-controlled states immediately redrew maps to diminish the power of Black communities.

This is about keeping power in the hands of white conservatives, no matter the cost to democracy.

And the cruelty isn’t limited to our own citizens. The Trump administration has begun deporting Afghan translators who risked their lives working alongside American troops, even as they continue to apply for legal protection through Special Immigrant Visa programs. ICE agents recently detained one such interpreter — someone who had helped U.S. soldiers survive the war — because the new GOP priority is to get as many brown people out of the country as possible.

This is not patriotism. It’s ethnic cleansing by bureaucracy.

I used to believe that maybe 20 percent of white Americans were openly racist. That was based on my experience growing up and on the way racism was often hidden behind polite code.

But looking at today’s voting patterns, at the cheering crowds for Trump’s open bigotry, it seems more like 55 to 60 percent. When a majority of white voters willingly support a party that strips voting rights from Black citizens, erases slavery from classrooms and museums, fires Black leaders from government, and deports brown allies, that’s not a fringe problem. That’s a national crisis.

This kind of “othering” of racial and gender minorities is a classic hallmark of fascism. It’s what we saw in Germany in the 1930s and what Viktor Orbán and Vladimir Putin are doing in Hungary and Russia today. You dehumanize groups of people, define them as enemies of the state, and then strip away their rights until they no longer have the power to resist.

Trump and the GOP are running this playbook right out in the open. And far too many in the media are still treating “anti-woke” rhetoric as a culture-war issue instead of what it really is: a naked declaration of racism, misogyny, and authoritarian intent.

Democrats and people of good conscience cannot let this language go unchallenged.

Every time Republicans sneer about “woke,” it should be called what it is: they’re defending racism and misogyny. They’re trying to drag us back into a world where straight white men hold all the power and everyone else is erased. This is not just an ideological disagreement. It is an attack on the very idea of equality and democracy.

Woke people must stop playing defense and start organizing. We need mass mobilizations — marches, protests, and direct action — to show that Americans will not tolerate a return to white supremacy dressed up as patriotism.

We need to pressure Democrats to go on offense, to stop using mealy-mouthed language and start telling the truth: the GOP is running on racism, period.

And we need to demand that the media stop laundering Republican talking points and call out this agenda for what it is: a fascist project to make racism great again.

The stakes are nothing less than the future of American democracy. If we fail to rise to this challenge, they won’t just win the next election; they’ll win the power to define who counts as an American, whose stories matter, and who has a right to belong.

This is the GOP’s vision of MAGAstan: a land where truth is outlawed, history is erased, dissent is punished, and democracy is reduced to a hollow slogan.

It’s not conservatism. It’s not patriotism. It is the same naked pursuit of power through racism, misogyny, and authoritarian rule that we’ve seen in one country after another throughout history.

And here’s the brutal truth: they’re telling us exactly who they are and exactly what kind of dictatorship they want.

The only question left is whether the rest of us will stand by in silence while America is dragged into its darkest chapter or whether we will rise up, speak out, and refuse to let our country become the authoritarian nightmare Trump and the GOP are building in plain sight.

AN 8 25

One Democratic state representative in Texas speaking out against the Republican effort to redraw congressional district boundaries was just threatened with a felony charge for speaking to journalists.

That's according to a Wednesday article in the Houston Chronicle, which reported that Rep. Nicole Collier (D) had to abruptly end a press conference she joined from a bathroom at the Texas State Capitol. A video of the moment posted to X shows Collier being interrupted mid-speech while on a Democratic National Committee video stream with California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) while speaking to police.

"Sorry, I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this," Collier said. "Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom — well, you told me I had to be here in the bathroom — no, hang on. Bye, everybody. I've gotta go."

After Collier left the call, Sen. Booker called it "outrageous" that the Texas Democrat was being forced to stop talking to the media.

"First of all, let me tell you something. Representative Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office," Booker said. "...What they're trying to do right there is silence an American leader. Silence a Black woman. And that is outrageous. I hope everybody took note of that."

"The fact that she can't even let her voice be heard is freakin' outrageous. And this is what we're fighting for," he continued. "This is ultimately what this is about. What we just witnessed: Them trying to shut her down and say it's illegal for her to be in the bathroom and on this call? This is the lengths that they're going to in Texas."

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller lashed out at Washington, D.C. residents protesting President Donald Trump’s takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department and his deployment of more than a thousand federal agents — including FBI, DEA, DHS, ATF, and ICE — to patrol the Capital’s streets. In striking remarks, Miller cast the demonstrators as white and the victims of crime as Black. His charges conflict with a new survey just released that shows the vast majority of D.C. residents oppose the Trump administration’s takeover and feel safe in their neighborhoods.

Miller told reporters that the people protesting the Trump administration’s federal takeover of the city’s streets are “elderly white hippies,” “stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old,” and, “crazy communists” who “have no roots, they have no connections to the city, they have no families they are raising in this city, they have no one that they are sending to school in this city, they have no jobs in this city, they have no connections to this community at all.”

Those people, Miller alleged, are “the ones who’ve been advocating for the one percent: the criminals, the killers, the rapists, the drug dealers.”

Whereas, Miller claimed, “residents who lived in Washington, D.C. their entire lives, their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of crime and decay.”

“There are hundreds of residents of this city who are shot in street violence every single year, making [it] one the most violent cities on planet Earth,” he claimed, which is not supported by evidence.

“And by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington, D.C are Black,” Miller alleged, inaccurately. About 43 percent of D.C.’s residents are Black.

“This is not a city that has had any safety for its Black citizens, for generations,” he claimed. “And President Trump is the one who is fixing that with the support of the Metropolitan Police Department to support the National Guard and our federal law enforcement officers.”

“So we’re going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old, and we’re going to get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C.,” Miller said.

A damning Washington Post poll released Wednesday, however, found 79 percent of D.C. residents oppose Trump’s decision to take over the Metropolitan Police, and to deploy National Guard troops and federal law enforcement agents onto D.C. city streets.

“On Monday, Trump said Washington had been ‘the most unsafe place anywhere,’ but 78 percent of residents say they feel very or somewhat safe in their neighborhoods,” the Post reported.

August 11, 2025, edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, streamed on Rumble

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): This is President Donald Trump saying once we liberate DC — and by the way, I guarantee the crime's gonna go whoop. It's gonna go way down.

And then the media will say, oh, it's only going down because he brought in the military. Exactly. We need full military occupation of these cities until the crime desists. Period.

We need a desisting of crime in our cities. We're not gooing to put up with it. I want to be able to walk Magnificent Mile in Chicago without having to look over my shoulder. Do you know crime is so bad in Chicago that if you get a fender bender — there's a new thing that the youths are doing. Remember, we have a big teenage problem of crime in our country, that teenagers will bang the back of your car as a fender bender. You come out to go trade insurance, and then they steal your car. In Chicago, the new guidance is that if you get a fender bender, drive to the nearest police station to trade insurance just in case they're there to steal your car. It's a real thing. It's happening all the time. By the way, get a burner. We advertise it all the time here on our program.

I don't want to live in that country. You shouldn't either. Simple fix. You steal a car, 25 years in prison. I don't care if you're a teenager. I don't care if — well, I was raised without a dad. Well, you're going to go meet a new dad in jail. We're done. We're not putting up with it. We need more prisons, and we need more prisoners.

:{:{Enough of this — and I honestly you know, I was once part of this whole prison reform thing. I look back at it, and I just cringe at myself. It's a totally wrong premise. We are soft on crime in this country. We need discipline. We need — honestly, we need the humiliation of criminals. We need order. You don't live in a nation if you can't walk the streets of San Francisco at night. You don't live in a country when young teenage girls can't walk the streets of LA. How is that a free society? You are appeasing the criminals.}:

Stop coddling criminals because they happen to be a protected class. We don't believe in protected classes anymore, by the way. We're done with that. Game over. No more protected classes. We are all citizens made in the image of God. Oh, you're protected class because, you know, different skin color. Wrong. That regime was defeated back in November. That whole worldview was gone. Over. Done. Kaput. Sayonara. Instead, a new worldview has ascended, which is we're not going to make accommodations for criminals. We're going through mass deportations. If you're Black and commit a crime, you go to jail. If you're white and you commit a crime, you go to jail. Human equality, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter your background. We are all treated equal under the law, and that is a biblical principle.}:

So once we liberate Washington DC, and we will liberate it. Now, again, I want to say, President Donald Trump, he's gotta go play to win here. The one piece of caution we'd have to say is that if we just kind of do this symbolically, we will lose. The criminals will win. We got to go hard. We gotta go big league. We're talking national guard, tanks — every street, you need military.

And if people are afraid, oh, well, Donald Trump is a fascist because he's bringing the military. Well, you're an anarchist. We're not fascist. We're order. Call them a name right back. You're an anarchist. You want the criminals, the thugs, the gang members, and the worst of society to run the streets of DC. We're not going to put up with it.

By the way, spare me the lecture. You guys militarized Washington DC after January 6, but you wouldn't move them a couple blocks north to the criminals because you acted as if, oh, all the people in on January 6 are the greatest threat ever because they went in with a pocket Constitution to go say a prayer in the US Capitol. Once we liberate DC, you better believe it — Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco. We got a big military. We should be willing to use it.

// kirk yesterday” teen crime?

From the August 7, 2025, edition of Fox News' The Will Cain Show

WILL CAIN (HOST): First, let's follow up on a story that we brought you yesterday, the rise in youth violence across America. We brought you these jaw-dropping stats showing juvenile offenders and crimes against other people surging over the last five years. Now, we use a lot of euphemisms in pleasant conversation and in the media. Those euphemisms often hide the truth. We refer to inner-city when talking about minorities, and juvenile crime is the problem, but the question is how much is race a part of the problem in juvenile crime?

Well, the FBI doesn't break down juvenile offenders by race, but it does for adults. Over the last five years, overall there were more white offenders than Black offenders in total crimes against persons, but there are more white people than Black people in America. The only stat that really matters is per capita and those numbers are much higher for Black Americans. We could advance this and go into more serious crimes, like homicides, that show more Black offenders than white offenders, again this is according to FBI data. But that is the total number, as well. Again, it doesn't adjust for per capita, where Black Americans make up about 11% of the population.

But the point of this conversation isn't to malign one particular race. It's not to place society's ills and blames on one group versus another. But you cannot fix a problem unless you first recognize a problem. You can't use euphemisms to paper over something that is a truth.

So, if those are the numbers for adults, do they not correlate the same among young offenders? That's certainly what we seem to see in some of the videos coming out of Washington D.C. or Cincinnati. And why doesn't the FBI provide that data when it comes to juveniles?

Let's have the conversation now and bring in the civil rights activist and founder of the Woodson Center, Bob Woodson. Bob, it's great to have you on the show, I always appreciate the candid conversation. Bob, I don't think we do anyone a service by using euphemisms or dancing around subjects. The question is whether or not we have a problem of crime among Black youth? When you see what happened in Cincinnati or Washington, D.C., that seems to be the anecdotal suggestion. And it does suggest there is also data to back it up and we can't solve that unless we first acknowledge it and have the conversation.

AN 7 25

President Donald Trump has come under fire for remarks he made about undocumented immigrants performing farm labor, after claiming they do the challenging work “naturally.”

Trump has repeatedly flip-flopped on his position on undocumented immigrants working on farms, moving from demanding “the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” to declaring accommodations must be made for them—in large part because the farmers cannot operate without them. Trump has called some undocumented farm workers “almost impossible to replace.”

Speaking to CNBC on Tuesday (video below), the President claimed that currently there is a program where these undocumented immigrants can get a “pass” to return to the U.S. legally after they receive “schooling.”

“We’re doing things that are that are very difficult to do and very complex, but it works really well,” Trump claimed. “We’re sending them back, and then they’re schooling, they’re learning, they’re coming in, they’re coming in legally. We have a lot of that going on, but we’re taking care of our farmers.”

“We can’t let our farmers not have anybody, you know, these are these people, they’re—you can’t replace them very easily.”

He then went on to claim that “people that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They’re just not doing that work, and they’ve tried, we’ve tried, everybody tried , they don’t do it.”

“These people do it naturally, naturally,” he said of the undocumented.

He went on to describe a recent conversation he said he had with a farmer, where he asked, “What happens if they get a bad back?”

“He said, ‘They don’t get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die.'”

“I said, ‘That’s interesting, isn’t it?'”

Critics blasted the president, with some describing his remarks as racist.

“This was literally one of the arguments that slave owners in the U.S. used to justify slavery,” noted attorney Joseph M. Azam.

Racist AI-generated videos are the newest slop garnering millions of views on TikTok

Google’s Veo AI video generator is seemingly being used to generate videos depicting racist and antisemitic tropes

Written by Abbie Richards

:{:{Published 07/01/25}:

Content warning: This article contains racist and antisemitic imagery, videos, and language.

Racist and antisemitic AI-generated videos are getting millions of views on TikTok.

These videos — seemingly created with Google’s Veo 3, a publicly accessible text-to-video generator — traffic in racist tropes, such as depicting Black people as monkeys and criminals and featuring imagery of Black people with watermelons and fried chicken.

Users are also posting misleading AI-generated videos of immigrants and protesters, including videos in which protesters are run over by cars. And in an especially dystopian nightmare, AI-generated videos are reenacting marginalized groups’ historical traumas, depicting concentration camps and Ku Klux Klan attacks on Black Americans.

TikTok’s community guidelines prohibit videos dehumanizing racial and ethnic groups as well as “threatening or expressing a desire to cause physical injury to a person or a group.” The platform has a long history of struggling to contain hate speech, violent content, and misleading AI-generated content, and the dehumanizing and sometimes violent videos that Media Matters has now identified are seemingly spreading unchecked on the social media platform.

Google’s new Veo 3 is apparently being used as a tool for creating hateful content

Veo 3 — Google’s text-to-video generative AI model — was released on May 20. The publicly available AI generator currently has a limit of 8-second videos, and Google reportedly plans to integrate the video generator into YouTube Shorts.

The videos that Media Matters has identified on TikTok all ran a maximum of 8 seconds long (or were composed of multiple clips each lasting no more than 8 seconds). They also had a “Veo” label in the corner; used hashtags or captions, or had usernames, related to Veo 3 or AI; and/or had clear signs of AI generation (such as gibberish text, distortions, or continuity errors that defy the laws of physics).

TikTok users are using AI-generated videos to spread racist and other hateful stereotypes

Much of the racist AI-generated content that Media Matters identified is explicitly anti-Black, using images of monkeys to promote stereotypes about Black people.

For instance, one video reads “Average Waffle House in Atlanta” and shows a restaurant filled with monkeys. A car crashes into the front door of the restaurant and five monkeys leap from the vehicle holding KFC-style fried chicken buckets filled with watermelon. Then the video shows monkeys running wild through the restaurant, throwing watermelon and carrying buckets of fried chicken. This video has over 600,000 views. (The video above includes viewing numbers from an earlier date, so they don't match the final figures in this piece.)

TikTok users clearly understand the racist message of this video. One viewer commented, “all their mannerisms…to the T…,” while another said, “And Walmart, and any other stores and restaurants this demographic frequents.”

Another video reads, “i asked ai: ‘average spirit airlines experience,’” and shows monkeys climbing all over a plane while a smoke alarm chirps. It has 835,300 views.

Again it’s evident that viewers understand and endorse this racist propaganda. A comment with over 2,000 likes reads, “Bro even AI has black fatigue.” Another user wrote, “AI got here 5 minutes ago and it already has black fatigue.”

"Bro even AI has black fatigue"

This dehumanizing content also paints Black Americans as criminals. In one video, a monkey wearing a pink wig, long pink acrylic nails, and pink eyelashes says, “So my probation officer called. Good news — I ain’t gotta do no more community service. Bad news — that’s cause there's a new warrant out for my arrest.” This video has 4 million views.

“So my probation officer called. Good news — I ain’t gotta do no more community service. Bad news — that’s cause there's a new warrant out for my arrest.”

Several other videos depicted AI-generated monkeys committing crimes and labeled them as “usual suspects.” For instance, a video with 5.3 million views depicts a police car chase in which a car chased by a police cruiser crashes into a pole and a monkey runs out of the driver's seat. It says, “ai getting out of hand bro.”

Another video, with 1 million views, depicts a white man saying, “Yup. It’s the usual suspects at it again,” followed by a shot of chimpanzees wearing gold chains running from a car while a police siren wails in the background.

Not all of the videos we found that depict Black people as criminals relied on animal imagery to push their hateful agenda. For instance, Media Matters found a video of a Black man wearing a balaclava carrying a TV out of a looted store with broken windows and saying, “Just doing my mostly peaceful shopping today.”

These AI-generated videos leaned into other racist stereotypes as well, such as “fatherlessness,” the false narrative that Black fathers are absent from their children’s lives.

A video with 373,900 views depicts a white woman crying and saying, “Tequavius, I have something to tell you. I’m pregnant.” A monkey in a backwards hat is then seen running away into a car. Text reads, “what is AI tryna say.”

In another video, with 351,000 views, a Black woman complains to a barista about not having enough milk in her coffee. The white barista says, “Maybe your baby daddy is coming back with the milk even though it’s been years already. I can get you watermelon and fried chicken instead.”

Fried chicken and watermelon consumption — a longstanding anti-Black racist stereotype — was a repeated theme in this content.

One video with 147,600 views depicted a Black man saying, “I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. Watermelon, please. I need watermelon.”

Another video, with 350,900 views, depicted a monkey named “Lequarius” wearing a gold chain and holding a bucket of fried chicken.

These videos also repeatedly contained themes of police violence against Black people.

One particularly viral video — with 14.2 million views — depicts two white police officers eating donuts. Then one of them says, “Look! A Black one!” and fires his gun multiple times.

In another video, with 2.1 million views, a white police officer holds a fishing rod with a watermelon as bait and says, “My numbers are low this week. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do,” as a Black woman crawls over to him on her hands and knees.

Another video, with 383,300 views, shows a white police officer outside of a KFC who says he is “spawn camping these motherfuckers.” (Spawn camping is a gaming term that refers to waiting near specific spawning locations in order to kill players immediately after they spawn.) When a Black man emerges from the KFC, the white police officer says, “Bingo,” and points his gun at him.

While most of the AI videos Media Matters identified targeted Black people, other racial and ethnic groups were targeted as well.

One video with over 206,900 views reads, “Average Panda Express be like,” and depicts an Asian man telling customers to “come try our sesame orange bark bark and meow meow today” as images of cats and dogs appear on the screen.

Several videos depicted South Asian-appearing people as dirty.

In one video, with 1.2 million views, a South Asian man is chased by a shower head and soap as he screams “No! No!”

In another video, South Asian men prepare food using their feet and serve bowls of mud alongside rats.

Another video depicts a crowd of Orthodox Jewish men rolling down a hill in pursuit of a piece of gold.

AI-generated videos are targeting immigrants and depicting violence against protesters

AI-generated videos are also targeting immigrants and protesters in the U.S. These videos were made in both Spanish and English languages.

For instance, one video with 45,500 views shows a man walking through a riot while waving a Mexican flag and saying, “I’m flying the flag of the place I don’t want to be sent back to while I’m destroying the place I don’t want to leave.”

Another video, with 25,400 views, shows a series of AI-generated Spanish speakers purporting to be from various Latin American countries, several of whom suggested their desire to use the U.S.’s resources. The first protester says in Spanish, “Hi my name is Jose Rojas from Venezuela and I don’t want to work. I only want to be supported by the government of the U.S.”

Media Matters also identified a concerning trend of AI-generated videos that seemed to fantasize about enacting violence on immigrants or on protesters defending immigrants.

In one video, an AI-generated Big Foot in a Border Patrol vest says, “I’m here to show y’all how to catch a border jumper,” and then proceeds to wrestle a man to the ground. Big Foot then puts the man in the back of his truck and says, “Taking this one to cut my grass before I deport him.”

Other videos endorsed hitting protesters with cars.

In a video with 90,000 views, drivers of a truck plow through a crowd of people. As the car drives away there’s a smacking sound implying the car ran over a person as the driver says, “I love these new speed bumps. Thump, thump.”

In a different video, with 61,400 views, Big Foot and a similar creature are driving a car surrounded by protesters and Big Foot says, “Well, Gov. Sanchez said run them over,” and the car drives into a sea of people.

“Well, Gov. Sanchez said run them over,”

AI-generated videos depict concentration camps and the Ku Klux Klan

While AI-generated historical depictions aren’t new to TikTok, we are now seeing their use to reenact historical trauma.

One video we found depicts a man narrating his day in a Nazi concentration camp as though he is vlogging. He stands in front of a crematorium chimney and says, “It’s a bit smoky, but something smells really nice out here.” He points to a pile of shoes and says, “I wonder if there’s any Air Jordans in there,” and ends the video by saying he’s “heading for a shower now.” It has a million views.

Another video depicts Big Foot on horseback dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood chasing a Black man.

The AI propaganda revolution

Conversations around AI and disinformation frequently focus on the AI-generated content’s believability – that is, how realistic it looks. But hateful messages don’t need to look real in order for them to further engrain racist beliefs into viewers’ minds. In the U.S., there is a long history of using cartoons to convey hateful anti-Black propaganda.

As the race to create generative AI tools continues, the conversation should consider the harms it can cause – with realistic and unrealistic imagery alike.

The cost of criticizing the Trump administration's most notorious member

Lindsay Beyerstein June 22, 2025

Terry Moran is out at ABC thanks to a White House pressure campaign. Donald Trump campaigned on free speech, but in office, he persecutes media companies with frivolous lawsuits and threats of punitive regulation. ABC is cowed. The broadcaster announced that they weren’t renewing Moran’s contract, because they felt his deleted tweet about deputy chief of staff Steven Miller being a hater violated their standards of objectivity and professionalism.

“Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater,” Moran tweeted and later deleted, early Sunday. “You can see this just by looking at him, because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.”

“ABC is gonna have to answer for what their so-called journalist put out on Twitter ... we have reached out to ABC,” said Leavitt. “They have said they will be taking action, so we will see what they do ... hopefully this journalist will either be suspended or terminated."

No doubt the White House is still mad at Moran for exposing Trump’s demented conviction that the labelled symbols M-S-1-3 on a photograph of deported Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia were tattoos.

Miller is, objectively, a hater. The mainstream media says so all the time. “[Miller] is extremely hostile to immigrants. He has always, as far back as high school, rejected the idea that immigration is a net positive for America, and he's been very consistent in that,” Jonathan Swan, a White House reporter for The New York Times said on the Daily podcast.

“This is all I care about,” Miller said of his uncontrollable zeal to eject migrants during Trump’s first term. “I don’t have a family. I don’t have anything else. This is my life.” That was before he met his wife Katie on a junket to watch children being separated from their parents at the border. Now, Miller has a partner who bragged that “DHS sent me to the border to see the separations for myself – to try to make me more compassionate – but it didn’t work.”

Anyone who has watched one of Steve Miller’s twitchy podium-pounding rants knows the truth. Miller repeatedly recommended Camp of the Saints, a polemic about a black giant called Turd Eater whose minions rape a white woman to death.

Trump reportedly said that if Miller had his way, there’d only be 100 million Americans and they’d all look like Steve. It’s hard to think of a human being whose hateration is better documented than Miller’s. It’s a cornerstone of his public image. The MAGA base loves his Peewee German persona.

There is a vast literature documenting Miller’s hatefulness stretching all the way back to elementary school. Moreover, he’s the architect of an immigration policy that sends innocent people to foreign torture prisons and rounds up random brown guys outside Home Depot for looking foreign. He slanders judges who rule against the Trump administration as communists and rails against the enemy within.

ABC claims that Moran showed a lack of objectivity in his blunt and critical assessment of Miller. In fact, Moran’s analysis of character and motive is in line with all the Trump/Musk breakup pieces that dominated straight news coverage for days.

What makes this person tick? What role do they play in the administration? How does their ideology inform their actions?

These are analytical questions that lie at the heart of journalism.

Disallow them and you reduce journalists to stenographers who merely transcribe what powerful people say. Moran erred only in taking the tweet down.

Now read: So much for Trump's big promise to America

an 5 25

Michigan House Democrats on Tuesday came out in support of a resolution put forth by state Rep. Sharon MacDonell (D-Troy) aiming to censure Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford) for “racist statements” made on the House Floor earlier this month.

Schriver, who wasstripped of his staff, funds and committee assignment by former House Speaker Joe Tate (D-Detroit) last year for promoting the racist Great Replacement Theory on social media, spoke out on a set of policies intended to crack down on sanctuary cities and counties during the chamber’s May 1 session.

In his testimony, Schriver quoted former Presidential Advisor Patrick Buchanan’s book, “The Death of the West”, telling fellow lawmakers “The chasm in our country is not one of income, ideology or faith, but of ethnicity and loyalty.”

“Illegal aliens undermine our national sovereignty. The largest population transfer in history is coming from all the races in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and they are not acclimating, they are not melting and they are not reforming to the American way of life,” Schriver said. “This is something that needs to be addressed.”

MacDonell told reporters on Tuesday that while it’s not surprising to hear Schriver oppose sanctuary cities, his testimony had focused on criticizing people rather than policy.

“Schriver blamed naturalized citizens and their descendants for America’s ills…I think any rational person can agree that it’s one thing to have strong opinions on immigration policy in Michigan. It’s fully another thing to claim that all immigrants, including naturalized citizens, are bad people. Even worse to claim that all people of certain ethnicity that he doesn’t like, or a certain national origin that Schriver doesn’t like, are bad people,” MacDonell said.

House Minority Leader Ranjeev Puri (D-Canton), whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from India, called Schriver’s comments “deliberate, disgusting, dangerous and disgraceful.”

“They were an attack on families like mine, and an attack on the very spirit of inclusion and the progress that our state is making. His remarks were rooted in ignorance and prejudice and they do not reflect the values of House Democrats or the values of the Michigan people,” Puri said.

“Rep. Schriver also specifically singled out countries whose people are overwhelmingly Black, brown and non-white, not once mentioning European nations or white immigrants. That’s not a coincidence. That’s racism, plain and simple. He didn’t just invoke racist tropes, he leaned into the dangerous Great Replacement Theory suggesting that immigrants of color are here to erase American identity. That’s not policy, that’s paranoia rooted in white supremacy,” Puri said.

He also raised concerns that members of the Republican Caucus hadn’t spoken out against Schriver’s remarks, calling on House Speaker Matt Hall (R-Richland Township) and other Republicans to denounce Schriver’s “hateful rhetoric.”

“When white supremacy echoes in the chambers and you say nothing, you’re not neutral, you are complicit,” Puri said.

When asked about Schriver’s remarks at a press conference earlier on Tuesday, Hall said he hadn’t seen Schriver’s comments, before noting that Schriver had been reelected by his constituents.

Video of House Session shows Hall on the House floor as Schriver requests permission to testify on the bills, though he is not visible on video when Schriver’s speech concludes.

“What I really appreciate about representative Shriver is that he’s, you see a difference, I think, between him last year and this year and, you know, we gave him his staff back… what I’m doing is I’ve got him as a member of our caucus, and you know what I’ve tried to do is put him in positions to succeed, and he’s on some of these oversight subcommittees. I think he’s doing a very good job there. And you see him really voting with our caucus on a lot of issues,” Hall said.

“I appreciate how he’s working with our members as a team, and even though we might have differences at times in how we talk and how we communicate, and I’ve expressed some of those in the past where him and I disagreed,” Hall said, with the Speaker previously stating that Schriver’s resolution calling on the United States Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell V. Hodges, which requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, would not move forward.

When asked if Schriver’s far-right views were shaping legislation coming from the House Republican Caucus, Hall pointed to Schriver’s vote in support of bipartisan policies like legislation to create a Public Safety Trust Fund to support local law enforcement and community violence intervention initiatives.

Schriver’s office did not respond to a request for comment on the proposed resolution.

April 29, 2025, edition of Loomer Unleashed streamed on Rumble

LAURA LOOMER (HOST): I'm not saying all Indians are scammers. Obviously, there's great Indians out there, but that stereotype out there, right? They say stereotypes exist for a reason. A lot of Indians are very pissed off with Rep. Shri Thanedar, right, because he's enabling stereotypes to, to percolate online. And a lot of Indians have messaged me, Indian friends of mine, great Trump supporters, patriots in this country, telling me that they are embarrassed by Shri Thanedar. So maybe he'll get a primary.

I don't know. I mean, if it's such a heavy immigrant community, it'd be nice to have an American there, like a real blood and soil American. But if we can't get a real true blood soil American to represent that district and it has to be an immigrant, there's gotta be at least a patriotic pro-MAGA, pro-Trump patriot immigrant who lives in that country. Although, you know, I will say I prefer to not have immigrants in Congress. I think that there should be a rule created that says that only U.S. born individuals can run for office or hold office in our country just like the rule applies to the president of the United States. I don't know really why that hasn't been enacted yet, personally. I mean, the biggest troublemakers in Congress happen to be immigrants. Look at Ilhan Omar, OK? I think she's the poster child for, why we need an immigration moratorium. But Rep. Thanedar is another example of how hostile a lot of these immigrants can be when they come to our country and we allow them to hold office. They should not be tolerated in my opinion.

Loomer's use of “blood and soil” is notable because the phrase is identified as a “Nazi rallying cry.” According to CNN, “The phrase dates to the earliest days of Nazi propaganda.” The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum notes that “blood and soil” was an “early Nazi slogan used in Germany to evoke the idea of a pure 'Aryan' race and the territory it wanted to conquer.”

But when Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, condemned the rally and its organizers, Holocaust-denying, pro-Nazi broadcaster Stew Peters was apoplectic.

• Amanda Moore @ Turtle Diaries: Bussin' in the Egoists: Race Rally Edition

The clown show makes a stop in Frisco, Texas.

last week, Jake Lang, a pardoned J6er turned candidate for US Senate, attempted to add race agitator to his ever-growing resume. Lang held a “Protect White Americans” rally at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, claiming that white people are under attack from black people. Lang, who lives in Florida, hitched a ride to Texas on a MAGA themed motor home adorned with images of Martin Luther King Jr, and JFK Jr moments before being shot.

Lang’s promo materials heavily featured Austin Metcalf, 17, who was fatally stabbed by Karmelo Anthony, also 17, at a track meet at the stadium. Metcalf, who was white, has become something of a martyr for some racists, who have baselessly suggested that Anthony, who is black, targeted Metcalf due to his race.

Even before the rally took place, the event was divisive on the right — including among Lang’s fellow J6ers. The night before the rally, Oath Keepers Jessica Watkins and Kelly Meggs mocked the idea that white people are under attack in a Space on X, formerly Twitter

Lang was identified as a J6er fairly early on, as he advertised his presence on social media. According to the Justice Department, Lang obtained a Metropolitan Police Department helmet, which he wore for much of the riot. He was accused of physically engaging with police, swinging a baseball bat at officers.

When I arrived at the stadium on Saturday, a small group, primarily consisting of journalists, was gathered around Lang’s co-organizer, Philip Anderson. Anderson is also a J6er, who is most notable for spending much of 2024 posting on X that he would kill himself if Trump lost the election.

While I was on time for the rally, I missed much of Anderson’s preamble, though I did hear him say that “they” had gotten Trump to pardon all of the J6ers. I tried to ask about Meggs and Watkins, the two Oath Keepers who had been mocking the event in a Space the night before, and the other 12 who were not pardoned, but Anderson either didn’t hear me, or simply ignored me.

Subscribe

Lang and Anderson set up on top of the tour bus they were using, shouting down the 9 or 10 people who were listening to their speeches (they insisted people were driving by over and over to hear the speeches from their cars).

Eventually some protesters did show up, outnumbering actual attendees. At first, the police did little to keep the groups separated, resulting in a scuffle and two arrests. Organizers tried to save the soul of one guy, dressed in a Carmelo Anthony jersey, by getting him to accept Christ as his savior and take off his shirt.

You might be wondering why I flew to Texas and back (the day before Easter!) to watch a few people stand around in a parking lot, or why you’re reading about it now. I was wondering that, too — at least until the rally ended.

A black man in a cowboy hat was one of the few people in attendance who stood and watched Anderson and Lang rant from the roof of the bus for two hours. As it turned out, he was not a supporter, but a man named Bruce Carter, who was there to deliver a message from Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father: knock it off (Carter told me that Lang and Anderson had not reached out to Jeff at all).

The conversation between Carter and Lang did not go well. At one point, Carter called Jeff Metcalf on speakerphone, who told Lang he was “part of the fucking problem” and demanded that Lang “take my son’s face off your website.” In response, Lang told Metcalf he was weak. Here is the full conversation between Carter, Lang, and Metcalf — I encourage you to at least watch the beginning, when Metcalf is on speakerphone.

IFrame Content

The conversation was so egregious that afterwards, one of the owners of the MAGA tour bus ran up to Carter. “I don’t necessarily agree with him telling, I mean calling the father weak? I didn’t agree with that. At all!” he announced.

Nevertheless, Lang was not deterred from using Metcalf’s death as a way to create content. After everyone left, Lang broke into the stadium and found a rust stain on the ground. In a video posted to X, Lang proclaimed it was Metcalf’s blood. Shortly after, Frisco ISD announced they were seeking charges against Lang (a spokesperson also pointed out that Lang was on the opposite side of the stadium from where Metcalf had been stabbed).

Lang has since doubled down on his stance, proclaiming that Jeff Metcalf is “kicking dirt on his son’s grave.” For reasons that are unclear, Lang has delivered these remarks shirtless.

AN 4 25

On Wednesday, April 2 in a Dallas suburb, 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed at a track meet by Karmelo Anthony, also 17. Anthony, who admitted to fatally stabbing Metcalf, is facing murder charges but says he acted in self-defense when they got into a fight.

In an article published on April 25, Salon's Amanda Marcotte details the ways in which Jake Lang — who was among the January 6 Capitol riot defendants and is now running for the U.S. Senate in Florida — and right-wing media outlets are exploiting the case and turning it into a racial issue.

"Metcalf was white. Anthony is Black," Marcotte explains. "Lang saw an opportunity and leapt into action. After circulating a flyer with Metcalf's face labeled 'Protect White Americans,' Lang descended on this Texas suburb to lead a rally painting Black Americans as a near-existential threat to white Americans. When Jeff Metcalf, the victim's father, called Lang during the rally, the former inmate now running for State Secretary Marco Rubio's Florida Senate seat, got visibly excited."

According to Marcotte, Austin Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, was not impressed by Lang's "racist stunt" and asked him to stop using photos of his son.

"Lang is a clown, but he is not an outlier," Marcotte laments. "The whole of right-wing media, including Fox News, has decided to make a spectacle of this case, with endless, breathless coverage painting this single situation as symbolic of what they view as a racist war on white people. It's useful agitprop for MAGA, which desperately needs a distraction from (President Donald) Trump's failures and falling approval ratings."

Marcotte continues, "It's gross, and it's coming at a high cost for the families involved and the larger community, ratcheting up racial tensions and sowing paranoia, all over a case that is already heart-wrenching enough…. Tellingly, the right-wing noise machine can't even articulate the injustice that needs to be remedied here. Anthony was arrested and is being held accountable. There is not a smidgen of evidence that police and prosecutors aren't taking this case seriously…. The deafening outrage is about shutting off the brains of the audience, keeping MAGA audiences in a state of racist paranoia, so they don't think about how Donald Trump's incompetence is hurting the economy and national security."

Lang, according to Marcotte, "did not react well to Jeff Metcalf telling him to step off."

AN 5 25

The grinding path to justice for the most lethal mass shooter to ever appear in a U.S. courtroom came to an end Monday when Patrick Crusius pleaded guilty to murdering 23 people and wounding 22 others in an anti-Hispanic assault on an El Paso Walmart in 2019.

“The community you tried to break has become a symbol of resilience, of love overcoming hate, of humanity enduring in the face of evil,” 409th District Judge Sam Medrano said to Crusius after sentencing him to 23 life terms in prison. “This community will always remember those whose lives you stole – their names, their stories, their accomplishments. Their light will never fade. While you, your name and your hate, will be forgotten.”

Crusius was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for capital murder, and life in prison for each of 22 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The capital murder and aggravated assault sentences will be served concurrently, meaning at the same time.

While the hearing was focused on a horrific hate crime from 5 1⁄2 years ago, both the prosecution and defense spoke of anti-immigrant rhetoric that lit the fuse for Crusius’ explosion and continues to animate political and media conversations.

“While Patrick claimed in his manifesto that his views predated the then-President (Donald Trump) and that political figures were not to blame, he also explicitly stated the attack was a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas, echoing the language used by political figures,” defense attorney Joe Spencer told the court. “Indeed, Patrick believed he was acting in the direction of the president at the time, seeing it as his duty to stop the invasion because that’s what he believed the president was telling him.”

IFrame Content

Spencer had first spoken of the influence of Trump’s rhetoric in a March interview with El Paso Matters. The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment at that time, and hasn’t responded to a request for comment about statements in court on Monday.

District Attorney James Montoya also cited anti-immigrant rhetoric in his remarks to the court. But he urged the community to focus on those whose lives were torn about by the 2019 attack.

“There’s a lot to say about the defendant and the hateful ideology that motivated him, and that there are other public figures and elected officials that espouse and promote this ideology,” he said. “But my sincere hope is that for the rest of this proceeding, this afternoon in the next few days and moving forward, that the focus can remain on the 23 lives that were taken from us far too soon.”

Montoya also took the unusual step of criticizing actions taken by his predecessor, Yvonne Rosales, and her associates. Rosales resigned in 2022while facing a legal proceeding to remove her from office.

“I also wanted to take a moment, your Honor, on behalf of the state of Texas, to apologize to the community, and the court, and specifically the family of Gerhardt Alexander Hoffmann for the gross and abominable misconduct by one of my predecessors and her representatives, acting as representatives of the state of Texas, and their manipulation and terrorizing and frankly the revictimization of Mr. Hoffmann’s family during the pendency of these proceedings,” Montoya said.

El Paso Matters could not reach Rosales for comment.

An investigation ordered by Medrano found that then-Assistant District Attorney Curtis Cox and Roger Rodriguez, a private attorney working for Rosales, had retaliated against the family of Hoffmann, a Ciudad Juárez man killed in the attack, because they refused to participate in an effort to attack Medrano and a former prosecutor in the case.

Hoffmann’s son Thomas was at the hearing, but his widow, Rosa Maria Valdez Garcia, was not present.

The hearing

Crusius — in an orange and white jail jumpsuit and shackled — said little during the hearing other than pleading guilty and providing brief answers to Medrano’s questions about whether his guilty plea was voluntary and that he understood his rights.

During the hearing, Montoya read the names of each of the 23 people killed in the attack, as well as the 22 wounded.

The hearing was conducted amid intense security, both inside and outside the county courthouse. People attending the hearing had to go through multiple security screenings before being allowed in the courtroom.

Montoya decided last month to no longer pursue the death penalty, leading to the guilty plea.

While state and federal prosecutions of cases are now complete, the survivors of the mass shooting, and the families who lost loved ones face lives that have been horrifically altered.

More than 100 family members of those slain by Crusius were in the makeshift courtroom set up in the county commissioners’ meeting space to accommodate a large crowd.

A community shattered and healing

El Paso itself — selected by a man who lived 600 miles away to be the target of the deadliest act of anti-Hispanic violence in modern history — continues to heal. That path to healing has been complicated bypolitical changes that have seen the gunman’s rhetoric of an “invasion” of Hispanic immigrants as part of a “great replacement” move from the darkest corners of the internet to mainstream political and media conversation.

“On August 3rd 2019, Patrick Crusius afflicted a wound on our community that may never fully heal. He brought violence and terror to a place of peace, shattering lives and forever changing the landscape of El Paso,” defense attorney Spencer said. “To everyone who lost loved ones, to those who were injured, to everyone who’s sense of safety was violated, we offer our deepest, most sincere condolences.”

Looking directly at Crusius, Medrano said: “Now, as you begin the rest of your life locked away, remember this: Your mission failed. You did not divide this city, you strengthened it. You did not silence its voice, you made it louder. You did not instill fear, you inspired unity. El Paso rose stronger and braver. The community you tried to break has become a symbol of resilience, of love overcoming hate, of humanity enduring in the face of evil.”

The Aug. 3, 2019, attack on the Cielo Vista Walmart killed 23 people, the sixth-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. The gunmen in the five more lethal killings — in Las Vegas; Orlando, Florida; Blacksburg, Virginia; Newtown, Connecticut; and Sutherland Springs, Texas — took their own lives or were killed by law enforcement.

Crusius, who was from Allen, a Dallas suburb, is the deadliest U.S. mass shooter to have to answer for his crimes in a courtroom.

Shortly before his attack, he posted what he called a “manifesto” on a website frequented by white nationalists that outlined his racist motivations.

In his statement to the court Monday, Spencer said his client had a long history of mental illness and had become radicalized by reading white nationalist websites on platforms like 4Chan and 8Chan. He has made similar statements at his client’s federal sentencing and in media interviews.

“This explanation of a severe mental illness and toxic political environment does not, in any way, justify or excuse the horrific violence that Patrick committed. He bears responsibility for the choices he made and the devastation that he caused,” he said.

In addition to his guilty pleas to state charges of capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, he also pleaded guilty in 2023 to federal hate crimes and weapons charges and was sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms in federal prison. Federal prosecutors also opted not to seek the death penalty against Crusius.

Crusius likely will head to the Texas state prison system to serve his sentences, spokespeople for the federal and state prison systems told El Paso Matters.

People whose lives were upended by Crusius will face him as they deliver victim impact statements starting Monday afternoon. More than 40 victims have asked to give statements, the District Attorney’s Office said. Medrano has said he will allow victims to speak as long as they want, and will continue the hearing throughout the week if necessary to allow everyone to speak.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

A clip from a podcast did not go over well on social media as commenters dragged U.S. Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) for calling U.S. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) “boy.”

“Gosh dang it, boy. Put that – He does not need that cane. That cane is a prop. I swear it’s not real,” Harshbarger said in the clip first posted by Heartland Signal on X. "And I'm wondering, one of my colleagues said unscrew the gold part off of it and see if there's a gun in there. I don’t know about that man. He’s just Weird Al.”

Harshbarger was referring to the Democrat's reactions during Donald Trump’s, [VID] which included hoisting signs of protest, wearing pink or, in Green’s case, pointing his cane at the president and heckling him, before being escorted from the chamber.

“Imagine if (Green) called her ‘little girl’ and accused her of being a weird person who conceals a weapon by pretending to need a medical device to get around?” asked a fourth. “The GOP would be outraged by such an accusation!”

Harshbarger was originally elected in 2020, after winning a 17-way Republican primary for Tennessee' 1st Congressional District. In 2013, her husband, Robert Harshbarger, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for committing healthcare fraud as part of a pharmacy he ran, and ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution. Her son, Bobby, is a Republican state senator for Tennessee's 4th Senate District.

The 'MAGA civil war' narrative has been greatly exaggerated

John Stoehr, The Editorial BoardFebruary 27, 2025

This week, the Republicans in the House passed a budget resolution that would, if it later becomes law, take nearly a trillion dollars away from Medicaid over 10 years to cut taxes for the very obscenely rich.

Every House Democrat voted against it. Even so, the way is clear from House leaders to begin negotiations with the Senate Republicans. They are trying to make things “revenue-neutral” to dodge the filibuster.

The move aroused the belief among liberals and Democrats that the Republicans are themselves heading for trouble with their own people, as most of the more than 80 million Americans who are on Medicaid are supporters of Donald Trump. Indeed, Medicaid recipients are more highly concentrated in red states compared to blue states. Yet every single Republican voted Tuesday night to take their healthcare away.

As evidence of the trouble ahead, liberals and Democrats cited the various town halls that have made headlines in which Trump supporters appear to take issue with the president’s assault on the federal government, including firing people who voted for him.

Liberals and Democrats also cited Steve Bannon. They quoted a segment from his February 14 podcast in which he warned the president and billionaire Elon Musk, who is spearheading the assault, that “you got to be careful, because a lot of magas [are] on Medicaid. I’m telling you, if you don’t think so, you are dead wrong. Medicaid is going to be a complicated one. Just can’t take a meat axe to it.”

This tension was reflected in a segment aired Monday in which ABC News reporter Rachel Bade accidentally told the truth. Most people think Medicaid is just for the poor, for “inner cities, more Democratic areas” – which is to say, Black – but that’s not true, she said. One in five receive assistance. Today, Hart Research released a poll showing that 71 percent of Trump voters said Medicaid cuts are unacceptable.

Because Bannon has called Musk a “phony” who is in league with the Chinese Communist Party, which is to say, not one of “the chosen people,” liberals and Democrats are taking his warning against cutting Medicaid as sign of brewing civil war inside magaworld – between white working-class people, represented by Bannon, and the very obscenely rich, represented by Musk. There’s a lot of effort right now to demonstrate that the Republicans are not the party of working class Americans. Critics say there’s no better evidence than the Republicans’ attempt to rob 80 million ordinary people and give to the .001 percent?

It’s here, however, that I think many liberals and Democrats are making a basic mistake. Donald Trump’s people don’t support him in spite of the fact that he’s a crooked billionaire. They support him because of that fact. There is no cognitive dissonance, because their bond has little or nothing to do with money. It has everything to do with prejudice against a system of government that treats everyone equally.

Billionaires have so much wealth that they can do pretty much whatever they want. Trump voters know they can’t have that kind of money. But with his support, they can have that kind of impunity.

Liberals and Democrats tend to believe that Bannon’s warning is about cutting Medicaid for everyone, but a shrewder reading of his fuller remarks shows something different – and the complexity of the challenge ahead for Democrats who are trying to mount a resistance. He does not say do not cut Medicaid, because “a lot of magas [are] on Medicaid.” He says go ahead and cut it, but not for the magas.

In that February 14 podcast, Bannon doubted that Musk was cutting spending. He said that if he is really serious about dismantling the government, he would “stop whining about entitlements. Get into that discretionary spending. Get into the Pentagon. Get into Medicaid.”

So Bannon’s warning wasn’t a warning as much as a note of caution: be careful with Trump’s people. As Bannon said: “You got to be careful because a lot of magas [are] on Medicaid. I’m telling you, if you don’t think so, you are dead wrong. Medicaid is going to be a complicated one. Just can’t take a meat axe to it, although I would love to.”

In other words, use a scalpel. Precision cuts for non-white people who are undeserving of a safety-net. No cuts for white people who are.

But even this might be too generous a reading of Bannon’s remarks.

As he said, he wouldn’t take a meat axe to Medicaid, “although I would love to.” There is a plenty of risk to cutting healthcare for Trump’s people, but there’s also plenty of room for convincing them that Trump and the Republicans are cutting it for the sake of the country. This is where liberals and Democrats make another mistake: underestimating how much suffering Trump’s voters are willing to endure in his name.

People who can be told to believe that Haitians eat dogs – or that the covid isn’t real or that Democrats drink the blood of children – can also be told to believe that losing their healthcare is a good thing. Given Trump’s hold on their minds, they might believe it. It’s unlikely that they will complain about tax cuts, or the assault on the government, even if it hurts them, not as long as he gives them someone to blame.

Liberal and Democrats find themselves in a position in which they must trust Trump voters to figure out that the president and his party are screwing them. That is misplaced trust, to say the least, because their bond isn’t about money or policy. It’s about power, namely hate.

Why is the media ignoring Trumpworld's latest shout-outs to hardcore racists?

One of the enduring mysteries in today’s American political life is why so many Republican politicians and their friends are adopting or promoting openly Nazi symbols, iconography, and slogans.

Is it a shout-out to the hardcore racists and haters that make up the GOP’s base, all just a performance to get enough votes to win elections? Or a proclamation that the end-goal of Republican governance is the destruction of American democracy, perhaps in deference to Vladimir Putin? How about it’s being a bizarre attempt at trolling people old or well-educated enough to remember or know what Nazism inevitably leads to?

And why are America’s mainstream media so unwilling to even report on, much less discuss, all the Nazi and neo-Nazi references surrounding Trump and today’s captive Republicans?

Elon Musk, Trump’s #1 campaign donor and co-president, threw two Nazi “Sieg Heil” salutes following Trump’s inauguration, causing the media to fall all over itself trying to make excuses for his behavior. Actual, declared Nazis and white supremacists were thrown into an ecstatic tizzy, however, with the Ohio Proud Boys posting the clip with the words, “Heil Trump!”

The neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe posted the Musk clip with the Waffen SS lightning-bolt emoji; their leader, Christopher Pohlhaus, wrote: “I don’t care if this was a mistake. I’m going to enjoy the tears over it.” Other neo-Nazi, Nazi, and white supremacist groups across the web jumped in to celebrate the salute, as Rolling Stone extensively documented.

ALSO READ: Trump's days of defiant bribery are numbered — here's why

It all seems to have really picked up steam after young neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville in 2017, chanting Nazi slogans, murdering a young woman protestor, and giving Hitler salutes.

Our media completely failed to identify them as Nazis, even though they were proclaiming that themselves.

Since Trump’s endorsement of their behavior with his “good people on both sides” comment, which he continues to defend, such behavior has been emulated across the nation.

Poke anything associated with Trump and odds are Nazi memes will pop out.

The “America First” slogan was the name of an openly pro-Nazi movement in America in the 1930s, a fact that seems to have been lost down the memory hole. And Trump told his former Chief of Staff, Marine General John Kelly, that “Hitler did some good things…” along with referring to American soldiers as “suckers” and “losers.”

And then there are Trump’s attacks on the media, echoing Joe Stalin and Adolf Hitler with their “enemy of the people” rhetoric. He’s suing media outlets left and right, just like Putin and Orbán did in their early years to intimidate reporters and bankrupt opposition publications and websites.

Elon Musk just called for reporters for CBS’s 60 Minutes program — “the biggest liars in the world” — to receive “a long prison sentence.”

In an echo of Hitler’s “denunciations,” his “border czar” is even calling for the police at the Department of Justice to investigate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for telling immigrants about their constitutional rights.

After pointing out at a rally that Hitler said that Jews were “poisoning the blood” of Germany (yes, he pointed it out himself), Trump then said of nonwhites in America:

“It’s true. They’re destroying the blood of the country, they’re destroying the fabric of our country, and we’re going to have to get them out.”

The 2021 CPAC meeting featured a stage resembling the Odal Rune, a potent Nazi symbol, that drew a rebuke from the hotel hosting the conference.

In 2022, Trump dined with Nick Fuentes, a prominent and out Holocaust denier. Trump later posted a 30-second video that twice references a “unified Reich.” Trump’s buddy Steve Bannon has repeatedly endorsed the notoriously antisemitic and racist novel The Camp of the Saints” which characterizes Black Americans, “dirty Arabs,” and “feces-eating Hindu rapists” as engaging in a conspiracy to destroy white people and civilization.

His son, Don Jr., retweeted a message by a white supremacist who attacks interracial dating and queer people, “liked” tweets by another account that posts pictures of Jews with exaggerated noses, made a “joke” about gas chambers and our media, and participated in an interview with a talk show host who said slavery was the best thing to have ever happened to Black people.

When Vice President Vance visited Germany this past week, instead of meeting with that nation’s chancellor or his peer, he hung out with the leader of the Nazi-adjacent AfD party, while giving a speech in which he extensively quoted Putin’s sentiments. Proud to be known by the company he keeps…

And then there’s DOGE, the official title of the iron-fisted, massively rich oligarchs who ruled Venice for ten centuries that’s been reclaimed by billionaire Musk for himself and his work. The logo is arguably explicit, as Jim Stewartson points out at his excellent mind-war.com newsletter/website:

“On the DOGE logo there are 8 stars above the cartoon, and 8 stars on the flag inside the gear. This is another National Socialist signal. It means Heil Hitler. Musk has used this signal numerous times, in addition to quite literally doing two Hitler salutes at the inauguration.”

There are also 14 teeth on the gear that makes up the O in DOGE in the logo, a direct rip-off from Hitler’s Nazi labor movement of the 1930s, reflecting the famous “14 words” memorized by every white supremacist: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” Check out this 30-second video, courtesy of Jim Stewartson at mind-war.com:

Following that theme, Trump, Vance, and multiple Republican politicians and media figures have, for years, promoted the Naziesque “Great Replacement Theory” that posits American Jews are paying their agents in business, government, and society to hire Black, brown, and queer people and women to replace white men.

Additionally, when Trump tweeted out his Anders Breivik quote about saving the country and thus violating no laws, Musk retweeted it with 14 American flag emojis. These guys aren’t subtle because they don’t have to be; they know any American media that calls them out will either be attacked as paranoid or they’ll simply say it was a joke or misunderstanding.

But their followers know exactly what they’re saying, and why. Just like they understood that Trump’s birther crap was really his way of saying, “Hey, white people, have you noticed that guy in the White House is Black? We can’t tolerate that!”

And they also clearly heard the dog whistle when he came down the escalator and attacked brown-skinned immigrants. Or when he claimed the Potomac crash was because the helicopter pilot was a woman hired “because of DEI.”

Or when Trump offered refugee status to white South Africans, but not to Black or Indian South Africans.

There’s so much evidence of Trump’s and Musk’s apartheid leanings, it’s pretty much impossible to deny any longer. Which raises the question: Is our media in with the Nazis, or just committed to Not-Seeing them?

When Kash Patel appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing on potentially becoming director of the FBI, he was asked about the multiple appearances he had made on a program hosted by far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters. Predictably, Patel feigned ignorance, prompting Peters himself to declare that Patel was clearly lying.

Patel's effort to now distance himself from Peters is understandable, given that Patel was likely fully aware that Peters is a racist, anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalism and virulent antisemitism while spreading wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and open calls for violence.

All of this was on full display during last night's program, where Peters spent a half hour ranting that the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar was "an anti-white shitshow."

"After several consecutive years of conducting satanic rituals on live television, the NFL went right back to doing what it does best: Giving a platform to degenerate blacks," Peters fumed. "Every single one of America's biggest entertainment platforms—from the fake and gay rigged sports entertainment leagues like the NFL, to the music industry, to all of our TV shows—has completely given into this degenerate black filth culture that was created by a bunch of subversive Jews and then weaponized against the American public."

"Even though your conservative uncle will tell you, 'It was totally based because Donald Trump was there' and they didn't have 'End Racism' spray painted across the end zones as they usually do, this was an anti-white shitshow," Peters ranted.

"Let's just cut down the brass tack here," he continued. "What this is is an opportunity for a bunch of Jews and their black minions and whatever other shades of foot soldiers they can find to address a captive audience of retarded white cucks who actually tune into this shit and then beat them over the head with their racism propaganda."

"That's what America has become, which is tragic because it was never supposed to be this way," Peters said. "America was always supposed to be a white country."

"They're doing this because they hate white people and they wanna steal and they wanna destroy all of the things that white people have built, including your country," Peters asserted. "And egging them on, putting the battery in their little backpacks are the demonic little subversives that opened our borders to these savages in the first place: the Jews."

"It really is that simple," Peters concluded. "And it makes it easy to understand why America's Founding Fathers, by definition, were white nationalists. Because they knew that this country couldn't exist as some kind of a degenerate melting pot or a hodgepodge of the world's fucking rejects; people who flooded in from cesspits from Hell all over the world where they couldn't figure out how to rub two fucking sticks together. This country was founded by white people and it was founded for white people."

Patel, of course, is not the only GOP leader who has appeared on Peters' show, as Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on "The Stew Peters Show." On top of that, Peters himself has even participated in ReAwaken America events alongside various Trump insiders and members of the Trump family.

Trump's MAGA America revives a Confederate nightmare

Thom Hartmann January 22, 2025

Welcome to your first full day in the new Confederate States of America.

Much like the old CSA, the new CSA (also known as MAGA America) is devoted to:

— Making American as white as possible,

— Stripping women and minorities of political and economic power,

— Gutting workers’ rights,

— Rigging election outcomes,

— Leaders nakedly taking bribes,

— Using a phony veneer of Christianity to justify brutal policies,

— Making queer people invisible,

— Reconfiguring schools for indoctrination,

— Having militias terrorize minorities and their opponents, and,

— Maintaining a government of, by, and for rich white men.

Never in American history has a group of morbidly rich white men this large or with anything close to this net worth sat to watch a president get sworn into office, and never before have so many billionaires been in a president’s cabinet.

Trump has been openly selling legislation; for example, he recently told a group of fossil fuel CEOs that, if they’d give him a billion dollars, he’d gut the nation’s environmental laws that they don’t like.

Seeing the opportunity, the nation’s richest people have flocked to Trump’s side, each presumably hoping for their own desired federal subsidies or an end to regulations, government lawsuits, or anti-trust actions.

And, of course, they all want more tax cuts.

The Immigration Act of 1924 limited people coming into the country based on race; each year’s immigrants must be selected in a way that maintained the racial ratios that existed in 1890 (before the big wave of swarthy southern European immigrants, most Italian and Greek, that came here during the three decades between 1890 and 1924).

In 1965, Congress passed a new immigration law that ended the racial/country quotas, leading to a rapid increase in Black and Brown immigrants entering the country legally. Combined with illegal immigration, Reagan’s amnesty, and birthright citizenship for their children, the browning of American picked up speed to the point where 2014 was the first year when nonwhite children outnumbered white kids in the nation’s public schools.

To end this trend and make America white again, Trump has, at various times, proposed that America no longer allow immigrants from majority Black “shithole countries,” banned immigration from majority-Muslim countries, will harden the southern border, and last night signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship.

The 14th Amendment defines birthright citizenship, saying:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Trump’s lawyers are arguing that people here without documentation are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of American law because they’re not here legally. Therefore, they say, their children born here are also not “born subject to the jurisdiction” of American law and thus not citizens.

They plan to take their argument to the Supreme Court, where it may receive a favorable hearing. If successful, they might even have a case for stripping citizenship from and then deporting tens of millions of mostly Hispanic American citizens whose parents were undocumented.

Our MAGA Supreme Court majority has already succeeded in several steps toward this goal, by ending abortion rights and gutting both civil rights and voting rights laws.

Four GOP-controlled states are considering charging women who get abortions with murder, and Republicans on the Supreme Court have already functionally outlawed affirmative action and given states the power to make voting harder for Black, Hispanic, and Native American people.

Vice President Vance has written to the Justice Department demanding that they begin to enforce the moribund Comstock Act, which would outlaw the mailing of abortion and birth control medications, among other things (including porn).

Meanwhile, DEI programs in both government and the corporate world are being ended to once again allow companies with white leadership to give preference to white men up for jobs or promotions. Looking at the composition of Trump’s incoming administration and cabinet, it’s reasonable to assume that nonwhite people must be willing to play the role Samuel L. Jackson did in Django Unchained if they want a position.

In his last administration, Trump put the virulently anti-union lawyer Eugene Scalia (son of former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia) in charge of the Labor Department. His current nominee, former Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer, has a more mixed record, but she won’t be setting the administration’s labor policy: Trump will.

The same Trump who told Elon Musk on a live X event:

“You’re the greatest cutter. I look at what you do. You walk in and say, ‘You want to quit?’ I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, ’That’s OK. You’re all gone.'”

Musk laughed and said, “Yeah.” Bezos is also virulently opposed to unionization of his Amazon workplace, and Trump has a long history of avoiding hiring companies with unions to do work on his properties.

When the plantation oligarchs ended democracy in the Old South during the 1840-1860 era, they continued to allow elections. But white men who voted (they were the only ones allowed to vote) for anybody other than the oligarch’s men often lost work, were beaten, and even sometimes lynched.

Republicans today are a bit more sophisticated, but their ability to rig elections has endured.

In the years immediately following the Republicans on the Supreme Court’s Shelby County decision that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, over 1600 polling places were closed by Republican-controlled states, most in Black neighborhoods. GOP-run state after state passed laws making it harder to register to vote, allowing challenges to voters and purges of voting rolls, and making it easier to refuse to count mail-in votes from cities with Democratic majorities by claiming signature mismatches.

Reporter Greg Palast estimates that if this had not happened and every eligible voter was allowed to vote and every vote cast was counted, Kamala Harris would today be president.

Republicans also work hard to select their voters, rather than allowing voters to select their representatives. While Democratic states have largely abandoned gerrymandering — which could have given Democrats a majority in the House today — Republican states have doubled down on the practice year after year.

Donald Trump has rolled out a new meme cybercurrency that will allow any billionaire, company, or foreign country to shovel as much money as they want into his own personal pockets, presumably in exchange for whatever government contract, subsidy, or help they can negotiate with the new president.

The Confederacy, organized and run by a small handful of plantation oligarchs, was also notoriously corrupt, and state governments in the Old South often ran on a naked bribe system.

Slaveholders in the Old South used Christianity to justify their inexecrable practice. Today’s MAGA Confederates are no less hypocritical.

Jesus never once mentioned homosexuality or abortion, although he was explicit that preachers shouldn’t pray in public and that the only way to join Him in heaven was to feed the hungry, heal the sick, welcome the stranger, house the homeless, and visit those in prison.

None of that matters, though, to the sanctimonious hustlers running megachurches and appearing on TV and radio; their only goal is to increase their own wealth and power. And Trump, who didn’t even bother to put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in, promises to gift them with money and prestige so long as they keep delivering their parishioners to the voting booths for Republicans.

Republicans across the nation have succeeded in banning thousands of books that feature or even contain queer characters or discuss homosexuality or transsexuality from schools and libraries. They’re also launching legal efforts — with the explicit support of Clarence Thomas — to outlaw gay marriage and adoption, with the ultimate goal of sending queer people back into the closet as they were prior to the 1980s.

Trump, meanwhile, promises to only recognize two sexes, essentially outlawing trans people.

Republicans are proposing in their platform to micromanage school curriculum nationwide by “defunding schools that engage in inappropriate political indoctrination.”

This appears to include removing references to our nation’s history of slavery, patriarchy, and white supremacy; rewriting economic and social studies textbooks to make them more billionaire-friendly; and attacking socialism and communism in ways that may cause students to think that Social Security and similar programs are wrong.

In the Old South it was the Ku Klux Klan and the slave patrols.

Today there are dozens of white supremacist groups and independent militias, all devoted to white supremacy and Christian nationalism. Trump’s pardons of the criminals involved in January 6th tells us he’s committed to having the militias that support him rebuild their ranks and get back out onto the streets, but this time on his behalf.

And his continued opposition to gun control signals that, like dictators throughout history and most recently in Hungary and Russia, he wants them armed and dangerous.

The bottom line is that the oligarchy of the old Confederacy never really went away and arguably has just taken over the United States 164 years after they first fired on Fort Sumpter, this time with “Tech Bros” replacing plantation owners.

The big question now is whether they’ll be able to hang onto the wealth and power they’ve managed to seize with this election. Oligarchy, after all, is usually a transitional form of government because people get so angry about the government doing everything for the rich and powerful and little to nothing for them that they demand change.

Popular discontent rises until the oligarchs either slam down an iron fist to crush it with violence and thus flip the country into the type of tyranny you see today in Russia, or citizens overcome the oligarchy and restore democracy, as happened in Ukraine when Paul Manifort’s guy (and Putin’s friend) was deposed by the people in 2019, replacing him with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Which way will it go in America? Unless Trump gets really violent really fast (a possibility), we’ll probably know with the results of next year’s midterm elections…

Public opinion research conducted in October shows a shift in one political party that might make Donald Trump’s election on Nov. 5 less of a surprise. A majority of the party now agrees with a sentiment about immigration that has previously been associated with organized hate — that they are “poisoning the blood of the country.”

While October marked the first time respondents were asked that question, responses to others indicated a hard shift against immigrants by Republicans and white evangelical protestants — especially after Trump became president.

The Public Religion Research Institute is a nonpartisan group that studies political issues alongside religious values. Since its founding in 2013, it’s conducted its American Values Survey and done more than 200,000 interviews in the process.

Among its most recent findings was a 50-point gap between Republicans and Democrats over how pressing an issue immigration is for the country. And there now is a huge difference between the parties about whether undocumented immigrants who meet certain criteria should be offered a path to citizenship.

In 2013, 71% of Democrats and 64% of independents believed a path to citizenship should be offered. The percentage for Democrats rose to 77% by October, while it fell to 55% for independents.

But for Republicans, the change was far more dramatic.

In 2013, most Republicans — 53% — believed that qualifying people should be offered a path to citizenship. As of October, just 36% did.

At a recent conference in Washington, D.C., Public Religion Research Institute Founder and CEO Robert P. Jones said that support for a path mostly held steady for Republicans between 2013 and 2019, “then it begins to drop, then it just fell off a cliff beginning last year.”

Jones said the partisan disparity indicates that we’ve entered a new era when it comes to the politics of immigration.

“This is a very, very different world than we were living in even 10 years ago,” he said.

Perhaps not surprisingly, there is a religious element to the disparity.

White evangelical protestants make up the only major religious group that does not have a majority supporting a path to citizenship. That support has fallen from 53% in 2013 to 40% now.

The Public Religion Research Institute survey seemed to find an element of hatred in some of the opposition to allowing more undocumented immigrants to become citizens.

“There were a number of questions that, as a social scientist, I found myself having to ask that I never thought I’d have to ask,” Jones said of the most recent survey.

One was prompted by Trump’s statement a year ago that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.” The statement has ominous implications because Adolph Hitler, who murdered 6 million Jews along with millions of other targeted groups, made several versions of the statement, including that a male Jew “poisons the blood of others…”

In the survey, Jones asked, “Do you agree or disagree that immigrants who are entering the country today are poisoning the blood of our country?”

A full 34% of Americans agree.

“There is a gigantic partisan gap on this question,” Jones said.

Almost two-thirds of Republicans — 61% — 33% of independents, and just 13% of Democrats agreed that immigrants are poisoning the blood of a nation of immigrants.

Jones, who holds a Ph.D. in religion, said that so many Americans agree with such a statement should concern everyone.

“A racist and hate-filled conception of immigrants has really taken hold with a significant minority of the population,” he said.

KOS HUNTER

Disinformation kills democracies—and our political climate is now one in which disinformation runs roughshod over all else

*Originally posted at [The Journal of Uncharted Blue Places

Once again, Americans have voted to send Donald Trump scuttling back into the White House. We are all very worn and it's not a good morning for trying to piece together any grand narrative from that, and already on the various social platforms we're seeing Hot Takes from all of the people who have made lucrative careers about being very wrong about everything.

Rather than attempting one of their triple-bank-shot explanations for why Americans saw the ugliest campaign ever waged and still voted for the coup-attempting narcissistic criminal who headed it, I think simpler explanations will suffice. Trump did nothing he hasn't done for the last ten years. There were no October surprises. Disinformation flew fast and furious, as it has for the same ten years, and we knew it would. Indeed, the anecdotal voter interviews that have peppered the airwaves in the last six months have shown, incontrovertibly, that most voters believe very very false things and using those falsities to justify their ballots.

Here is what we know for certain:

1) Americans are much, much crueler people than we care to admit to ourselves. Trump closed out the campaign with overt racism and calls for ethnic cleansing, and Americans who voted him either liked the idea of ethnic cleansing very very much, cheering and egging him on, or at worst tut-tutted and claimed that it would be worth it because of some largely fictional belief about the economy being "better" back in the days of mass pandemic death.

This isn't particularly surprising. But we like to pretend it isn't there, even as Americans rally around monuments to murderous slaveholding rebels and set off pipe bombs to kill whoever their conspiracy theories have convinced them are enemies—the newspapers and television broadcasts go to great lengths to suppose that it is an expression of "economic anxiety" or that the people holding the torches only want their "culture" preserved. Pretending it isn't there is, in every generation, the primary tool used to defend those hatreds.

2) In nearly every modern election we've seen the same result play out: People vote, often overwhelmingly, to protect abortion rights, civil rights, voting rights, and other cornerstones of the Democratic Party agenda. Then they pull the lever or fill out the bubble to elect Republicans to be the ones in charge of enacting that agenda.

We can piss around with bank-shot explanations of this all we want, but voters are quite consistent in producing this result. Americans wantbroadly liberal policies—and they want them to be delivered by pompously religious white men.

The simplest explanation for that is the one Trump voters themselves bellow. Voters want broad rights when they think those rights will go to people like them—and absolutely do not want those same protections if they think someone who does not look like them will be in charge of dispensing them.

We see this play out in healthcare debates, where broad portions of the (Southern, especially) electorate overwhelmingly approve of "Obamacare" policies but would rather chew their own feet off than let a Black president hand them out. Donald Trump is the avatar for the oldest sort of "identity politics" the nation has: Racism. Misogyny. The American demand to gainonly if it involves taking from somebody else.

3) The most defining characteristic of this election, however, remains the same. It was a race held in a media environment in which factual information was not just deprioritized in favor of the stakeless professional gossipfests that every outlet insists to be the only true form of political coverage, but factual information was hidden from the public by those same sources. We heard all about Joe Biden's alleged unfitness for office because The New York Times publisher and editors yellow-journalismed their way into making it a supposedly defining moment.

In the meantime, Donald Trump's speeches show a man so reduced in form that many of his ramblings are literally incoherent—and you would not know that, if you did not have to watch a steady stream of them, because those same editors scraped his actual words out of their stories in favor of reporting what a spokesperson later claimed Trump "meant."

Flush all of that aside, and you would still be left with a social media and real-world media environment so stuffed with intentional disinformation that stumbling on true facts becomes a game of chance. Voter after voter responds to interviewer questions by saying nonsensical things that aren't true, but that they believe to be true. Voters believe that Trump will "protect" abortion rights because that's what they read—even as he brags of curtailing them. Voters believe Trump will only deport "bad" immigrants—even though the authors of those deportation policies insist that no, they mean to deport legal immigrants and the American children of legal immigrants both, whether criminal or pillars of their communities.

And that is because the media, the "free press" we like to blather on about with undeserved pride, has been fully and completely captured by (1) corporate entities that have a vested interest in feeding Americans some "truths" while hiding others, and (2) a collection of individual members of the billionaire class who dump more money into promoting intentional partisan disinformation than all of the rest of the American public can muster.

That's not democracy. You can't have democracy, if that's the playbook to be used; democracy hinges entirely on the ability of a citizenry to guide the direction of their country by examining the true state of the country and casting votes accordingly. If there is no true state to be determined—only a progression of "migrant caravans" that may or may not exist, or midwestern cities supposedly taken over by Muslims or captured by Columbian cartels, or a candidate who both brags of his anti-abortion record while well-dressed men on television claim the opposite—all of it is moot. The vote measures nothing. There are no "issues," only dueling slates of propaganda.

And that is not where we are heading. That is where we are. It has happened. It has been happening for decades. It accelerated when Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes launched an entire news network devoted to manipulating the information environment. It accelerated when we abandoned protections that had been set in place to ensure no one wealthy freak of nature could single-handedly control a large portion of the entire nation's communications apparatus. It is done.

And that is why the party that set a violent mob on the U.S. Capitol four years ago has seen no consequences, legal or otherwise, for an act of horrific betrayal. Those who own the media outlets insisted that the seditionists not be thrown out of our discourse, because the people who own the media outlets depend on those extremists to dismantle what they, too, need or want dismantled. The heads of CNN scrambled to find extremist voices willing and insistent on normalizing even criminal acts—and it has become a revolving door, as each of the extremists they bring to the air get ejected again after doing or saying something that can no longer be papered over. Jeff Bezos intervened to blunt The Washington Post's full assessment of Trump—because Jeff Bezos, the man, has a space program and government contracts to court.

As does his direct competitor, Elon Musk, a fellow billionaire who dismantled Twitter and replaced it with an engine to promote conspiracy theories and white supremacy.

Democracy cannot exist if facts do not exist, and political journalists, the parties, and the people who have purchased everything from our communications networks to their own Supreme Court justices are insistent, already, that facts do not exist.

That is where we are. Getting back will require defeating all of that—and a government soon to be headed by men who have very loudly declared their intent to never, ever give it back.

Citizenship cannot save you from fascism

Trump, joined by Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch and U.S. Attorney General William Barr, meets with states attorneys general on protecting consumers from social media abuse Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2020, in the Cabinet Room of the White House.

John Stoehr October 31, 2024

The debate over Donald Trump’s fascist rally at Madison Square Garden has focused primarily on fallout from insulting Puerto Ricans with a “joke” about the US territory being an “island of garbage.”

“That is the October surprise,” GOP strategist Mike Madrid told Greg Sargent. “Surprise, Donald Trump, you blew yourself up. Yes, it could absolutely bring Pennsylvania into the win column for [Kamala] Harris."

But something’s missing from the debate.

Why did this backfire?

I mean, Trump hasn’t been campaigning for president so much as leading a vengeance movement against alleged “enemies from within” – ie, anyone who displeases him. He has vowed to purge America of “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood” of the country. Last weekend’s rally was merely a culmination of a year’s worth of prejudice porn. Speakers there assailed immigrants, Jews, Black people and more.

But somehow Trump seemed to have taken a lot of people by surprise, particularly Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rican celebrities seemed especially revolted. Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin endorsed Harris only after the “island of garbage” line blew up. Musician Nicky Jam had actually endorsed Trump, but rescinded his endorsement afterward.

“I never thought in my life that a month later a comedian would come along and criticize my country [sic], speak poorly of my country [sic], therefore I renounce any support for Donald Trump," Jam wrote.

How is this possible?

The answer might be rooted in the complicated nature of Latino identity and the hierarchies within it that have emerged in relation to white-power politics in America. Put plainly, some Puerto Ricans are white or can pass for white. Most of them speak English. Because the island is a US territory, all Puerto Ricans are US citizens who can vote.

Compared to Latinos who are not white, who do not speak English and who cannot vote, Puerto Ricans have a lot going for them in a country like ours that’s still shaped and formed largely by the cultural and political preferences of white people. Some Puerto Ricans might have even believed that no matter how bad Trump gets, it won’t affect them much. After all, they have the rights and privileges of citizenship.

I don’t want to undervalue the fact that lots of people just don’t pay attention to politics. Nicky Jam said he had endorsed Trump, because “I thought that was the best for the economy in the US, where many Latinos live, including myself, where many immigrants are suffering because of the economy, and him being a businessman I thought that was the best move." I would guess that Jam had other things to do.

But I don’t think Jam and others were shocked by “island of garbage” because they were preoccupied. I suspect they were shocked because they realized something profound – that their assumptions were wrong. They presumed that citizenship was an issue of legal status. Once a citizen, always a citizen, no matter how you look. But Trump’s hate-rally undermined that understanding. It revealed that his fascists will not honor the letter of the law, much less the spirit of it. They will target you if you’re illegal. They will target you if you “don’t look legal” – and “don’t look illegal” isn’t a matter of law. It’s a matter of whiteness.

I don’t mean to suggest Puerto Ricans don’t experience racism. That would be stupid. I do mean to suggest that some, including perhaps Nicky Jam, underestimate what it means when someone says, as Stephen Miller did, that “America is for Americans and Americans only.” It means there’s nothing legally special about being Puerto Ricans. From Miller’s view, they’re all “Mexicans” and all “Mexicans” need to go. If Trump wins, Miller would likely be in charge of executing a massive operation to arrest and detain everyone who doesn’t “look American.”

That operation is usually described as a “deportation program,” but I don’t see any reason why such an undertaking would be restricted to “illegal immigrants.” The point of the exercise is to purge the “vermin” who are “poisoning the blood” of the country. It is to “cure the disease” and eradicate “the enemies within.” Things like legal status and citizenship won’t stop fascists from pursuing those goals once they have power. Nothing will, not even another white person’s whiteness.

This is why the “island of garbage” line should be profoundly shocking to more than the Puerto Rican population of the United States. It should shake everyone to their core. Its message is as simple as it is horrifying - the rights and privileges of citizenship cannot save you.

To achieve the goal of dominance and control – of making America for Americans only – fascists in power need only define “American” according to the most restrictive terms possible. But these terms would never be static. They would change according to need.

So even if you meet the fascist definition of “American,” you might not be white enough or male enough or Christian enough. This is what happened to the GOP. No one could say Mitt Romney wasn’t a Republican, but to the fascists, he would never be Republican enough. He didn’t belong and over time, they purged him from the party.

As it stands, the debate over Trump’ fascist rally is centered on the outrage felt by Puerto Ricans who are now remembering Donald Trump’s treatment of the island after Hurricane Maria ravaged it in 2017. They are remembering that he called them dirty, that he threw paper towels at them, and that he held up scores of millions in relief until the last days of his term. The story now is about how Trump alienated voters he needs to win. The story is about PR payback.

There’s more to the story. If native-born citizens can be dehumanized as “garbage,” anyone can be. If anyone can be, no one is truly safe.

MMA 10 24

During former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe attacked Puerto Rico, claiming it’s “literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.”

Although the remarks sparked outrage, numerous right-wing media figures have defended him. Some attacked critics for allegedly not having a sense of humor; others agreed that Puerto Rico is trash or dismissed Puerto Rico’s electoral relevance.

Here are numerous examples from the hours after Hinchcliffe made those racist remarks.

Donald Trump Jr.responded by reposting Hinchliffe’s defense that “these people have no sense of humor.”

Fox & Friends is Fox News’ morning show that promotes Trump and his agenda. During the program, co-host Lawrence Jones said: “Number two, maybe it’s just me, Ainsley, I have a dark sense of humor, you know, And so I, like … maybe this was not the appropriate format for the comedian to be there? But it’s comedy.”

Laura Loomer is abigoted podcaster who is heavily connected to Trump. She responded by wondering, “Did the managers at @unitedtalent UTA leak Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes? And if they did, did they do so because he’s Pro Trump?”

Matt Walsh is a bigoted podcaster. He wrote: “I hope everyone appreciates the masterful strategy here. Trump is goading the Dems into spending their final week crying about jokes. They are absolutely taking the bait. They can't help themselves.”

The Hodgetwinsare pro-Trump podcasters who have met Trump. They wrote: “Democrats must be retarded if they think a famous comedian telling a joke about Puerto Ricans is gonna get them to flip their vote to Kamala.”

Will Chamberlain is a Republican commentator and strategist. He wrote: “Man, Trump is going to really struggle now to win Puerto Rico’s 0 electoral votes.”

Milo Yiannopoulos is the far-right and bigoted commentator who worked with Steve Bannon to help elect Trump in 2016. He responded by attacking Puerto Ricans, writing: “Two things a Puerto Rican just won’t do 1. Describe themselves as American, no matter how many generations of American citizens precede them 2. Set foot in Puerto Rico.” He also wrote, “I agree with the Democrats, Puerto Ricans are emotionally incontinent children who can’t take a joke”; and “If you’re wondering how bad Puerto Rico is Venezuelans won’t go there.”

Andrew Torba is the antisemitic leader of the racist social media platform Gab. He wrote: “What are all of those people doing in Pennsylvania instead of Puerto Rico? Is it some kind of island of garbage or something?”

Carpe Donktum, real name Logan Cook, is a pro-Trump account meme maker. He responded by writing: “I can't believe that Trump might lose Puerto Rico's electoral votes because of a joke. Thanks @TonyHinchcliffe, way to go.”

COMM DR 10 24

From start to finish, Republican nominee Donald Trump's campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night was a torrent of bigotry and fascistic rhetoric, with the former president and a bizarre lineup of preceding speakers trashing Puerto Ricans and Palestinians, condemning the press, and casting their political opponents as a satanic "enemy from within."

The New York City event, held on the second to last Sunday before the November 5 election, amounted to a closing pitch for a candidate who has pledged to wield the power of the federal government—including the U.S. military—against those he views as obstacles to his ascent to power and his political project, which includes a large-scale deportation campaign, massive deregulation for industry, and another round of tax cuts for the wealthy.

"When I say the enemy from within, the other side goes crazy," Trump said Sunday, characterizing Democratic nominee Kamala ^Harris and other party leaders as mere "vessels" for the "radical left machine," which the former president called "massive, vicious, [and] crooked."

"It's just this amorphous group of people. But they're smart and they're vicious. And we have to defeat them," said the Republican nominee, who falsely claimed the U.S. is an "occupied country" facing a "migrant invasion" that only he can stop.

While the rally featured familiar bloviating from Trump about crowd sizes and other petty obsessions—as well as absurd speakers such as Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil—historians and other observers were horrified by what they described as the authoritarian ambitions that were front and center and shamelessly expressed Sunday night.

"The point here is that fascism is on full display, openly: no dog whistles, no plausible deniability," said Kathleen Belew, an associate professor of history at Northwestern University whose work has focused on the white supremacist movement in the United States.

"It's a show of power and another attempt to make this look and feel normal," Belew added. "And it will not just magically disappear after the election, regardless of the outcome. In fact, it might be worth thinking through the very likely possibility that this kind of display suggests that this candidate and this movement don't care that much about the outcome."

One journalist called Trump's event "the most overtly fascist mass rally in New York since 1939"—referring to a pro-Nazi rally held that year at Madison Square Garden—and criticized media coverage of the former president's remarks, pointing to a now-changed USA Today headline as a particularly stark example.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) appearance at the rally made clear that Trump and the leadership of the Republican Party are in sync as the GOP pursues full control of Congress on November 5 and lays the groundwork to enact the former president's agenda.

"We gotta get the congressmen elected and we gotta get the senators elected, because we can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we're going to do really well with the House. Right?" Trump said late Sunday, pointing to someone in the audience—possibly Johnson.

"He and I have a secret," Trump added, in remarks carried live by all three major cable news networks. "We'll tell you what it is when the race is over."

Other speakers at the rally included far-right pundit Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and billionaire Elon Musk, who has funneled roughly $118 million into the 2024 campaign in support of Trump.

"I'm not just MAGA," Musk said, pointing to his black hat. "I'm dark, gothic MAGA."

Popular, famous, and highly-influential Latino stars, and superstars including Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin, are lashing out at Donald Trump after his six-hour Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday served up racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic rhetoric. A New York Times headline described it as "Trump's racist rally."

The most-noted racist remarks came from a comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, in an attack calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and saying, "these Latinos, they love making babies, too, just know that. They do, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country,” before talking about Black people carving watermelons.

The Trump campaign waited several hours before issuing a statement saying, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” It was unclear why other racist remarks made throughout the event, including by Hinchcliffe, were not addressed by the campaign.

"Battleground Pennsylvania," NBC News reports, "where polling margins show a razor-thin race between Trump and Harris, is home to thethird-largest Puerto Rican diaspora in the country. Last month, the former president invitedPuerto Rican artist Anuel AA onstage at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to publicly throw his support behind the Republican ticket."

Variety reports, "Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin were among the notable industry figures who boosted Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Sunday after a speaker at Donald Trump‘s political rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden called Puerto Rico 'a floating island of garbage.'"

"Bad Bunny, one of the world’s biggest music superstar[s] with more than 45 million Instagram followers, boosted Harris’ campaign video targeting voters in Puerto Rico and noting what a contentious relationship that Trump had with the island during his tenure in the White House. Lopez posted Harris campaign material targeted at Puerto Rico as well as the same video pitch that Bad Bunny boosted."

"Singer-actor Ricky Martin, with 18.6 million Instagram followers, did the same thing on his Instagram Stories feed, adding the comment 'I remember' on the Harris video. He also included a clip of Hinchcliffe’s 'garbage' comment."

Variety continued, reporting, "Luis Fonsi, the Puerto Rican singer who had a worldwide smash in 2017 with 'Despacito,' also reposted the Harris video and added a comment."

“We are not OK with this constant hate. It’s been abundantly clear that these people have no respect for us and yet they want our vote,” Fonsi wrote. “I purposely wrote this in English cause yes we’re American too.”

Political strategist, CNN commentator, and co-host of ABC's "The View," Ana Navarro, has two million followers on the social media platform X and is a highly-influential Republican.

"Today, @KamalaHarris released policy proposals to help Puerto Rico. On the other hand at the Trump rally, this is going on," she wrote, pointing to a clip of Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."

"But nah. They’re not piece of s--- racists who treat Puerto Ricans as second-class US citizens. It’s just our imagination. Puerto Ricans, pay attention!"

And, pointing to Hinchcliffe's racist remarks about Latinos making babies, Navarro wrote:

"Latinos, defend our community’s dignity.

Show some self-respect.

A vote against racism is a vote for @KamalaHarris."

Monday morning on "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin, who is Puerto Rican, served up a monologue strongly criticizing Donald Trump.

"This Puerto Rican has something to say about the island that I love, where my family is from," Hostin began. "Puerto Rico is 'trash'? We are Americans, Donald Trump. Americans. We voluntarily serve disproportionately high in the military, while you have bone spurs."

"And we vote."

"Pennsylvania is home to almost half a million Puerto Ricans. North Carolina, 115,000. Georgia, 100,000. Arizona, 64,000. Wisconsin, 61,000. Michigan, 43,000. Nevada, 27,000. We vote Donald Trump."

"Trash?"

"And by the way, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, and Mark Anthony have over 345 million followers on Instagram. I think you only have 26 million, since you care so much about size. And we don't like what was said about Puerto Rico. And we know how to take the trash out Donald Trump. Trash that has been collecting since 2016. And that's you, Donald Trump. And finally, my fellow Puerto Ricans, trash collection day is November 5th, 2024. Don't forget it."

Former Fox News political commentator Geraldo Rivera let loose Sunday night:

"'A floating island of garbage…?' Referring to Puerto Rico??? 'Poisoning the blood of our nation…?' We have 'murder in our genes….?' Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect."

Monday morning he added: "Latino men, for the love of your parents and children, for your pride and your honor tell this little gringo s--- to go f--- himself."

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Monday that the hate-filled campaign rally held by former Republican President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York City was meant to further prime supporters for another January 6-style attempt to seize power by force if Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris wins next month's election. VID]

Sunday's event—which to a that packed the iconic Midtown Manhattan arena—featured speakers including billionaire Elon Musk, conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."

Although the Trump campaign has attempted to distance the GOP presidential candidate from Hinchcliffe's bigoted remarks, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said during a Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Sunday's event was "not just a presidential rally," it was "a hate rally."

"I think it's important for people to understand that these are mini January 6 rallies. These are mini 'Stop the Steal' rallies," Ocasio-Cortez said, referring to the 2021 Capitol insurrection and movement born from the conspiracy theory that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential contest from Trump.

"These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn't go the way that they want, because Donald Trump and that entire cadre of people up on that stage... do not respect the law of the United States of America, and they either want to win this election or they are using rhetoric of taking it by force," she continued.

"That is what they mean, and that's what they're doing when they're inciting violence and hatred against Latinos, against Black Americans, against Americans who don't have children."

Ocasio-Cortez singled out the Republican vice presidential nominee, U.S. Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), for "talking about watering downpeoples' right to vote depending on if they can viably carry a child or not."

"We have to understand how unhinged this campaign has gotten and the only reason that the rhetoric has gotten this far is precisely because they are trying to prime the kind of froth that led to the January 6 attack on the Capitol," she said.

"And so it's very important that we connect those dots, and right now the [Trump] campaign is scrambling and they're trying to blame this rhetoric on a so-called comedian?" Ocasio-Cortez added. "This is not a comedian. This is the Trump campaign. They invited this rhetoric on their stage for a reason."

A massive new study finds a large number of Republicans, Trump supporters, and conservatives support violence under the guise of saving the country or ensuring the “rightful” leader is put in the White House.

Three in ten Republicans (29%) believe “true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country,” according to the nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization PPRI’s “2024 American Values Survey.”

Nearly one in four MAGA Republicans (23%) “say that if Trump loses the election, he should declare the results invalid and do whatever it takes to assume office.” That view is also held by nearly one on five (19%) Republicans overall, including those who do not support Trump.

MAGA Republicans, or “Republicans who view Trump favorably are three times as likely as those who hold unfavorable views [of Trump] to support political violence (32% vs. 11%).

RELATED: ‘Zero Remorse’: Trump Doesn’t Condemn Gunman Who Allegedly Threatened FEMA Workers

More than one in five Republicans (22%) agree that “if the 2024 presidential election is compromised by voter fraud, everyday Americans will need to ensure the rightful leader takes office, even if it requires taking violent actions.”

The study also looked at the politico-religious component of support for political violence, and found one-third (33%) of “Christian nationalism Adherents and Sympathizers” agree that “true American patriots may have to resort to violence to save the country.”

Additionally, one-third of Latter-day Saints (33%) and nearly one in three white evangelical Protestants (28%) “agree that true American patriots may have to resort to violence to save the country.”

Where Americans get their news appears to be a factor in their views on issues including violence and immigration.

“Americans who trust conservative news outlets are the most likely to support political violence (41%), followed by 30% of those who most trust Fox News, 18% of those who do not watch any TV news, and 13% of those who most trust mainstream TV news.”

Six in ten Republicans (61%) agree that “immigrants entering the country illegally today are poisoning the blood of our country,” PRRI’s survey finds, along with a “majority of Americans who most trust far-right news (70%) or Fox News (65%).”

Similarly, nearly two-thirds of Republicans (65%) support the “Great Replacement Theory,” and agree that “immigrants are invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background.” PRRI also finds that the “vast majority of far-right news (83%) and Fox News viewers (66%) agree with this theory,” as do the majority of Christian nationalism Adherents and Sympathizers (63%) and white evangelical Protestants (62%), as well as half (50%) of Latter-day Saints.

“Nearly eight in ten Republicans (79%) favor putting undocumented immigrants in encampments,” PRRI also found. “The vast majority of Americans who most trust far-right news (91%) or Fox News (82%) favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants.”

“White evangelical Protestants (75%) are most likely to favor militarized encampments for undocumented immigrants, followed by the majority of white Catholics (61%), white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (58%), and Latter-day Saints (56%).”

“I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and these answers … are keeping me up at night,” PRRI president and founder Robert P. Jones told Axios. “It’s all pretty dark and worrisome.”

Axios had reported: “The growing number of Republicans willing to shun democratic norms — and possibly embrace violence — comes as Trump continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him and is saying the 2024 election is already rigged.”

“Jones said those supporting the loser of the election doing whatever it takes to assume office are essentially endorsing a coup against the United States.”

Last week, Jones told MSNBC’s Joy Reid (video below), “there are [survey] questions that we have had to write during the Trump era as social scientists that I never thought we would have to write.”

“So to write that question and put it on a public opinion survey and say, we actually need to know what the American people think about this statement, that whether immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country, right, is just, I think we just pause for a minute, to say how astonishing that is.”

He added, “we’re all taught to kind of not be knee-jerk and kind of use the Nazi analogy…but like, ‘poisoning the blood’ — Mein Kampf uses the word blood 150 times,” referring to Adolf Hitler’s autobiographical manifesto.

“That’s Hitler’s word, right? And it’s often, it’s almost always used in this way, this kind of idea of purity and defilement, contamination, and it’s a politics of disgust that we’re really seeing here.”

an 10 24

A new bombshell report describes how, during his first administration, former President Donald Trump longed for the same kind of absolute dictatorial power that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler enjoyed.

In a Tuesday report, Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg wrote about his conversations with General John Kelly (Trump's former Department of Homeland Security secretary and ex-White House chief of staff) who described how Trump harbored a peculiarly disdain for the military. He specifically lamented that he lacked the same kind of unwavering support from American military leadership that Hitler had during his reign.

"I need the kind of generals that Hitler had," Trump said, according to unnamed White House aides speaking confidentially to the Atlantic. "People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders."

READ MORE:This Trump trait makes him 'even more dangerous' than Hitler and Mussolini: ex-Dem senator

Kelly told Goldberg that he had to gently remind Trump that there were multiple occasions in which Hitler's generals tried and failed to assassinate him, like on July 20, 1944. And of course, Hitler's generals ultimately lost World War II, with the ones who weren't killed dying in a bunker with Hitler as Stalin's army razed Berlin.

The four-star Marine general also frequently had to educate Trump about the basics of both military structure and military history. When Trump asked him who the "good guys" were in World War I, Kelly told him that it's customary for U.S. presidents to consider any nation allied with the United States to be the protagonists in any foreign war. He also had to caution him from praising Hitler, even when not referencing the Holocaust.

"He said, ‘Well, but Hitler did some good things,’" Kelly told CNN's Jim Sciutto in an interview for his book. “[H]e said, ‘Well, [Hitler] rebuilt the economy.’ But what did he do with that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people and against the world... I said, ‘Sir, you can never say anything good about the guy. Nothing.’”

As an illustration of how he feels about the U.S. military, the article described how incensed the former president was that the family of Pvt. Vanessa Guillén — who was beaten to death by her boyfriend at age 20 while stationed at Fort Hood in Texas — sent the White House the bill for their daughter's funeral after Trump specifically asked them to at a White House meeting. Her funeral cost approximately $60,000. Unnamed participants in a 2020 meeting confided to Goldberg that the ex-president became irate after hearing about the cost.

"Trump became angry," Goldberg wrote, adding that Trump reportedly said “it doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f—ing Mexican!" He then told Mark Meadows, who was his chief of staff at the time, “Don’t pay it!”

“Can you believe it?” he then said, according to meeting attendees. “F—ing people, trying to rip me off.”

The report comes as the ex-president's campaign rhetoric has taken a decidedly more authoritarian tone. Sidney Blumenthal, who was an advisor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, recently wrote in the Guardian about how Trump is echoing Hitler in calling Democrats "the enemy from within," and his claims that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."
