Known liar Mike Johnson, Byron Donalds, Cory Mills, Doug Burgum & Vivek Ramaswamy hang around lower Manhattan to be trumps gag order gangsters.
Gag order prohibits trump from making comments about jurors / witnesses and also from causing others to make comments about the case, jury or court staff.
Republican politicians who’ve appeared at the felony Trump criminal trial: “I see politicians running toward the sound of the sleaze because that's what their master is demanding them."
"You have to embrace the election denial, the lies, you have Mike Johnson using his position (House Speaker) to violate the gag order, to say things the Judge says, 'do not say.' You have to embrace the lies, you have to embrace the insurrection, you have to embrace the hush money to a porn star, the multiple affairs. You have to embrace the obstruction of Justice. You have to make yourself part of the obstruction of justice." "We need to remind everybody that this is not normal. This was unthinkable."
I always wondered how nazi Germany and ISIS happened. Not anymore. It was because fanatics like these who will do and believe anything from their fascist leader.
The continual spread of #TheBigLie by Republicans is Unamerican. They are aware of the falsehoods, yet they show support for fraud on Americans. They also applaud the disinformation and have pledged to pardon those who have betrayed trust and are jailed from their crimes on January 6th.
Republicans know #TheBigLie is wrong, they know the lies. Republicans don't care, they cheer the lies. They cheer the abuse. Republicans promised to pardon these traitors and criminals. Enjoy your freedom, but know it is not because these criminal republicans.
These deranged people are the fundamentalist #ChristoFascists intending to impose #TheNewInquisition rule over the rest of us, to eliminate all #WomensRights like in Afghanistan, to execute #LGBTQ folks and #Atheists like Gaza and Iran, to bring back #Slavery like in Libya and Qatar, and make America a Saudi style ethno-state in the #WhiteNationalist flavor. They intend to turn all schools into #ForcedReligion hellholes and #Kidnap your kids if you dare to let them be themselves. They intend to deport #Immigrants and force the poor into servitude with no #MinimumWages or #WorkerProtections at all, including no #SocialSecurity or #Healthcare since only the rich deserve a decent life - their disgusting god told them so while they were here wallowing on the floor and babbling.
THIS IS OUR FUTURE IF MAGATS ARE NOT VOTED OUT AND KEPT OUT PERMANENTLY: rule by hateful misogynist nutjobs using POLICE STATE VIOLENCE to enforce their whackadoodle beliefs onto us.
White Nationalist group Patriot Front was confused by the turnstiles at NYC's World Trade Center PATH station.
It reminded me of this classic turnstile scene with Slim Pickens.
Sadly the #WhiteNationalist group Patriot Front isn't always defeated by turnstiles. Happily, a group of veterans called Task Force Butler work to hold these extremists accountable and make them pay for the damage that they’ve done to targeted minority groups and our Democracy.
NYT said that #Trump's projection that #Biden is a threat to democracy is brazen.
Actually, it's superb manipulation of their own failures.
NYT quoted 31 words from Biden about democracy, 66 from Trump lying, PLUS 21 from a MAGAt, 16 from MTG, and 36 from Trump's campaign (they also quoted Josh Shapiro).
Basically, bc NYT couldn't resist disseminating Trump's rants, they gave him a campaign ad to attack democracy. #media
“Media Matters reported that the platform placed its ads next to content promoting Adolf #Hitler & the #Nazi Party. #IBM isn’t alone in having issues when #advertising on the #platform: Following our report yesterday, we additionally found ads for Amazon, NBA Mexico, NBCUniversal Catalyst, Action Network, & Club for Growth next to #WhiteNationalist hashtags like “KeepEuropeWhite,” “white pride,” & “WLM” (“White Lives Matter”). 🤮
It's obvious to me that a second #Trump presidency would destroy American #democracy - which is, at the moment, on shaky ground. We are in the throes of a global battle against #authoritarianism and #fascism, and each of us must actively choose the path we want for ourselves and future generations.

UPDATE: Woman charged with homicide of #MikaWestwolf
by Judd Legum
Oct 24, 2023
"In the early morning of March 31, 2023, Mika Westwolf, a 22-year-old #Indigenous woman, was walking on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 93, which passes through the Flathead reservation in Montana. Westwolf was struck by a Cadillac Escalade and declared dead at the scene.
"Authorities said that 28-year-old Sunny White was behind the wheel of the Escalade with her two young children in the back seat and fled the scene. White is allegedly a #WhiteNationalist; she named her children 'Aryan' and 'Nation.' Some speculated that Westwolf's death was a #HateCrime."
Does anyone understand why Wrong #DeSantis thinks doubling down on advocacy of #slavery and whitewashed historical revisionism is a winning strategy? Does he not comprehend how bad the optics are of a #whiteNationalist stubbornly insisting that slavery was a benefit to the #slaves? I'm starting to think he doesn't actually want to be #president.
Black History Is a Casualty in Ron #DeSantis’s Christian Nationalist Quest
In the same way that Donald Trump made his bones as America’s #whitenationalist in chief, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is trying to make his as the country’s chief Christian nationalist, a subset of #whitesupremacy that holds that God has ordained America as a Christian nation, and that its ideals must be protected from the encroachment of pluralism — racial, religious or otherwise.
Republicans Rush to Defend Jason Aldean for Racist Song Filmed at Lynching Site
“Try That in a Small Town” isn’t even trying to hide its toxic message—and Republicans seem to love it.
Aldean released the song “Try That in a Small Town” in May, and the incredibly alarming music video just last week. The song’s lyrics are rife with threats to outsiders, The words encourage listeners to resort to vigilantism and gun violence against outsiders.
Gunman in El Paso Mass Shooting Sentenced for Federal Hate Crimes
The gunman had pleaded guilty to the charges in federal court. He still faces a state murder trial later this year, and Texas prosecutors said they would seek the death penalty.
It's time for everyone in red states to start filing civil rights complaints against the US. Numerous states have passed laws that directly violate the UN Declaration of Human Rights, including provisions against #ForcedPregnancy#Slavery and Religious Coercion.
It's clear that any supposed "domestic remedies" (ie waiting until the next election and hoping white nationalist christo fascists get voted out) would in fact be "ineffective or unreasonably prolonged" for people who are pregnant now or in lgbtq treatment regimes now, or are in a state where christian beliefs are being legislated in violation of everyone's constitutional right to be free of religious oppression.

And by “Texas,” the Hill means fascist Gov. #Abbott:
“#Texas on Sunday sent more migrants to Vice President Harris’s D.C. residence, just days after Title 42 — a pandemic-era rule that allowed officials to quickly expel asylum seekers at the border — ended last week.” #immigration#racism#bigotryhttps://trib.al/k9XlJ8e
@GottaLaff I have bad news for these #whitenationalist#Christofascists. If they do not figure out a way to bring in refugees and weave them into the national fabric, the birth rate of white USians will soon assure economic collapse. They can try anti-abortion laws and money incentives, but none of those policies have been shown to work to reverse the decline in birthrates.
Just a thought: a lot of people are using words like "terrifying" to describe the right wing pundits, shooters, and their various patches, tattoos, adornments, or what have you.
Normalize saying DISGUSTING and ODIOUS or REPUGNANT or SLEAZY or LOATHSOME or DISREPUTABLE or DISHONORABLE or some such. They probably don't know words like opprobrium, but you get the idea.
Their beliefs and actions are shameful. They should be ridiculed, not given awe. They are garbage beliefs. Treat them as such.
