Former DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski dining at Grocer's Table in Wayzata. The sheer audacity. You don't get to brunch in the community you terrorized with Operation Metro Surge's mass deportation raids—not after smearing locals like Renée Good and Alex Pretti as "domestic terrorists".

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Royce White is such a vile, hate-spewing man, he has made watching the MN Farmfest U.S. Senate debate unwatchable due to the small children around me. what a terrible man.

I think it's good and cool, actually, that Anders Folk is running to be the guy in charge of prosecuting ICE agents while taking money from the lawyer defending ICE agents.

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Nothing Kendal says is wrong, but a lot of this is on politicians. Republicans won’t even do town halls; Amy Klobuchar won’t be caught dead campaigning in a room that might contain lefties. So moderate Dems and most Republicans limit these “bipartisan” gatherings to the safest, whitest spaces.

Kendal Killian@kedrickillian.bsky.social · 14h ago

Farmfest is ridiculously over covered by the Minnesota political news media. The traditional Minnesota campaign calendar centers rural, white folks in a state that increasingly not. Rural areas less and less white, and the state is less and less rural. Yet for two days nothing else matters.

The Minnesota GOP is all in for the military occupation of Minnesota and brutalization of its people, because this is what Dear Leader wants. They're indifferent to the fact that 80% of Minnesotans oppose this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Trump says Jeanine Pirro "choked" and then snaps at a reporter who asks if her job is safe: "Don't ever talk again"

Awful: The local press in Maine is crediting Susan Collins for getting Trump to agree to ICE bodycams nationwide. It's cynical BS: She voted for $70 billion in ICE money and against requiring bodycams. But this kind of thing is why she could still win. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
