This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.
Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social · 17h agoTrump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency
Donald Trump is an absolutely vile racist. Trump: “The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!”
ICE arrested more than twice as many children this year through July as it did in the same period last year. Thus far in Donald Trump’s second term, ICE has arrested more than 8,500 children. 🧵
Death of a handyman: ICE cited “convictions for driving with expired vehicle registration” and an unspecified judgment against him in favor of the Maryland comptroller. The 47-year-old Curo-Churata "had volunteered to leave the country on his own, but a judge denied the request."
Laurel father and husband died in ICE custody in Louisiana
Julián Curo-Churata lived in Laurel for about 17 years before he was detained in June by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. He died in the agency’s custody on Sept. 29.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.
Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 4d agoJust a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
“You can’t un-see it once you see him in these shorts. It just doesn’t go away. It’s vivid in my mind right now.” Dudes rock.

They went for the tree as soon as possible. Wild way to drop a tree.

“There was something wonderful about weeds. No one attended to them. They were always a mess. When they got tired, they leaned on each other.” -James Elkins, Weak in Comparison to Dreams
Major acquisition today. Recently told the boys in the group chat, after two beers, that it’s the best album ever. A bold claim, but at this time of year I’m not sure it’s wrong.

These hideous Trump ads are outright theft from the taxpayers and election misconduct at the same time. $20 million in OUR MONEY spent on Illegal ads glorifying the would-be king. And his co-conspirators told him it was OK.
Trump Directed Use of Taxpayer Money for Ads Praising His Presidency (Gift Article)
The government-funded ads show just how much President Trump has been able to use federal money for his own aims.
