Two responses to this: 1. This is terrifying, straight-up Nazi shit, where ideologues believe you can go all-in on a racialized, biologically essentialist physiognomy of "the enemy" 2. This Kilroy-Was-Here motherfucker is weighing in on people's looks?

"Kilroy Was Here": WW2-era graffti showing line drawing everyman "Kilroy," a bald guy peering over a wall, with a long nose sticking down over the top of the wall and simple renderings of his hands clutching the wall on either side. The amusing thing is that a single swoopy line is used to render both the nose and the eyes on either side of the nose

It is very funny that Stephen Miller of all people is talking about how "deformed" his political enemies are, but let's be clear: this is both eugenics and a blueprint for state punishment of anyone who does not conform to Miller's idea of "normal" (eg: heterosexual marriage with kids)

I would certainly like a more enlightened, informed, and ideologically coherent public and I think such a public would certainly be more useful, but I'd like a lot of things and I'm not getting those, either.

im starting to believe in acceleration. please trump. do your coup. burn it down. water the tree of liberty with the blood of our sclerotic institutions. the more you destroy the more that will need to be rebuilt. exhaust us, spend our rage, slake our bloodthirst. let the hangover begin

I visited the small town of Marfa, TX. A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign! Our Frontera Tour has been full of special moments — but this was a highlight. 🎶

Here's Stephen Miller saying that assaults against ICE officers are coordinated terrorist action by left-wing organizations, and that members of the juries who acquit them are engaging in "jury nullification" that aids terrorism and must be stopped by any means necessary

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
