Incredible that this hasn't generated at least one news story - that Lauren Witzke, who was a GOP Senate nominee, helped set up a venue for a neo-Nazi gathering led by Nick Fuentes. This is a clear window into direct collaboration between GOP activists and rank-n-file white supremacists.

Much of this is from changes to Facebook and other social media sites; people using Twitter less. Many left of center outlets have also faced a downturn as well. This isn't to say air hasn't been let out of the MAGA bag or the echo chamber hasn't gotten smaller, but it's a factor.

Good roundup of far-Right harassment and push back against local #Pride events in 2024. While far-Right efforts might not be as big as last year, as this shows, anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry is still widespread. For ideas on community defense and mobilization, check out: itsgoingdown.org/defendpride/

Here's what’s happening in Rafah.
 Israel bombed Rafah in southern Gaza 60+ times in 48 hours, ignoring ICJ orders to stop military operations there. Israel bombed displaced Palestinians in tents, killing over 30, including children. The scenes from Rafah are horrific, resembling a massacre.

From the 'Turner Diaries' to InfoWars, for years the Right has played up the idea that the State will clamp down on everyday people.

In reality, when it does, the Right are the one cheer-leading the repression. Today in #Chicago, counter-protesters are rallying against #Palestine encampment.

From Anderson Cooper, to Eric Adams, and #FoxNews - all are pushing far-Right and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, that the growing anti-war movement is in fact orchestrated by "outside agitators" and wealthy Jewish elites.

This is rhetoric design to justify violent State repression and brutality.
