The True Texas Project and Young Republicans are hosting multiple events in Texas next month with the head of a self-styled white nationalist "think tank," the White Papers Policy Institute. WPPI promotes mass deportations and "remigration." It has strong ties to major white nationalist groups.

Highly recommend! Strange People on the Hill, by @michaelehayden.bsky.social, describes how the “somewhat queer-friendly” resort town of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, was torn apart by the arrival of the leaders of an SPLC-designated hate group. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/what-im-re...

My hot take is that regarding Congress like it's analogous to some normal workplace with colleagues who are all ultimately on the same team is exactly the thing everybody is disgusted by, because politics and policy are real to them, because they are not smug cloistered fucking nitwits.

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

Out of a thousand comments, the overwhelming majority of them that I reviewed were in favor of repealing the 19th. “It’s the one of the biggest death blows to the nuclear family,” one read.

My latest: Kristan Hawkins, the president of anti-abortion group Students for Life, said she wants women to be able to keep their right to vote. That's no longer a popular position in the conservative movement. SUBSCRIBE ⬇️ numbertwopencil.substack.com/p/a-conserva...

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Texas ICE Killing Darkens: Rep Says Witnesses Pressured to Self-Deport

There were three others in the van with the man shot by ICE in Houston this week. A represenative for the families tells TNR that the government is pressuring these potential witnesses to self-deport.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, appeared at pretrial hearings this week to hear evidence prosecutors have compiled against him. Right-wing conspiracy theorists are having a field day. Many remain unconvinced Robinson pulled the trigger. www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...
