Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat seen by POLITICO:
🚨🚨🚨
“No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

“MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his ‘holiday’ should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs,” Ingrassia wrote in January 2024, according to the chat.
“Jesus Christ,” one participant responded.

"Anti-fascist is the most accurate term to describe the vast cross-section of Americans of different ages, races, creeds, ethnicities, beliefs, geographic locations, jobs, specific complaints, and political affiliations who turned out to demonstrate peacefully (unlike ICE agents who kidnap and brutalize Americans in the streets, use pepper spray and other weapons, and show up masked and unidentified)."

"Putting out an AI video of himself dumping shit on protestors suggests panic, not strength. But his claims about what’s happening in America and the world keep getting stranger and wilder.
And Trump’s denial of reality is already having devastating consequences for America, with more to come."

"Trump is clearly getting worse, growing even more out of touch with each passing week. Regardless of whether it’s advancing age or growing frustration, even Trump, I think, realizes that his efforts to suppress all opposition are running into serious resistance."

Why do these messages appeal to so many young men? Matt Shea notes that unhappiness is the one characteristic that men most immersed in the manosphere have in common. Many of the men drawn to the manosphere are lonely, sociall isolated, excessively online, feeling that the economic odds are against them and women are to blame. The manosphere knows how to hook them.

Their persistent drumbeat message:
You, too, can become a "top 1% man," rich and dominant, owning status symbols of wealth and owning women. You can become rich like us.
The zero-sum logic of manosphere is everywhere in these videos: if women make gains, it's at the cost of men.

A third of his videos feature sports cars. Almost half feature a topless man. His style and message have gone from niche to mainstream with thousands of other influencers putting out similar messages with "the same carousel of symbols such as yachts, Lamborghinis and bulging muscles."

Anna Leach, Prina Shah, Ed Gargan, and Maeve Shearlaw analyzed 642 videos from Andrew Tate's Rumble to provide a deep dive into the manosphere. Some of their findings:
Tate talks a lot about women, but even more about getting rich. In two-thirds of his videos, he or someone else smokes a cigar, a symbol of rich phallic accomplishment.

"Nearly 95 hours of content includes little overt discussion of public policy or political philosophy. But the episodes frequently feature crude racism, outlandish political conspiracy theories, brazen misogyny, medical quackery, and homophobia."

AG #PamBondi & #DNI #TulsiGabbard earlier this year announced groups within their agencies to “root out” those who they say *misused government power* against #Trump.
Shortly after Reuters asked the agencies for comment on Monday, Fox News reported the existence of the group, citing Gabbard as saying she "stood up this working group." Key details in the Reuters story are previously unreported.
#Trump issued an executive order on his inauguration day in January instructing the AG to work with other federal agencies “to identify & take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the federal government related to the weaponization of law enforcement & the weaponization of the Intelligence Community.”

#NoKings #Translation + My Comment on #Capitalism #Fascism #Trump #Musk #Tyrants Etc... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
@LeilahLilienruh #Translation
+ my comments after about:
#Capitalism / #Fascism / #Trump / #Musk / #Tyrants Etc + #NoKings
"Never again! Not here, not anywhere else.
There are things where you have to show your colors. There's no “a little bit,” “so-so,” “we'll see”...
Only for or against.
It means taking a clear stand or, through vagueness, also taking a stand in a certain way...
Backbone is out in this mediocre, shallow-minded world: committing to something that you can be measured by and that can be held against you later.
“Which side are you on?” is the question."
MY COMMENTS:
I AGREE (even though ultimatums often aren't the way OR it's not clear to people what you mean to choose, BUT STILL YES)
So I think we the good maybe general #AntiFa / #AntiFascist can be more precise (like a list) and often my own problems is that 'EVERYTHING' IS FASCIST because it's born from #Capitalism / #BigTech #Fascism SO REALLY HARD FOR #NoKings and it's people not to kind of refer to themselves (on a day to day basis)
- so morally I agree but my 'problem' slightly is this:
❓ What #trust and #interactions are people building beyond the protest days...
❓ What other system if not this (I have ideas but asking you the author and reader of post)
Thank you. #FreeSchool (said more with love than critique)
"Sources said the Camp Pendleton artillery incident was especially dangerous because live munitions were fired over a freeway with civilians below, a departure from standard practice, and they welcomed an investigation into the conduct of Trump, Vance, and Hegseth."

"The money the administration is spending to deploy federal agents to patrol outside of elementary schools could genuinely make a difference... National Guard deployment to Chicago, currently blocked in federal court, could cost roughly $1.59 million a day. The latest Republican spending bill added $29.9 billion to ICE’s enforcement budget — a boost that nearly triples the $10.25 billion operating budget for the entire Chicago public school system"

#SCOTUS will consider whether people who regularly smoke #marijuana can legally own #guns, the latest firearm case to come before the court since its 2022 decision expanding gun rights.
The #Trump admin asked SCOTUS to revive a case against a TX man charged with a felony because he allegedly had a gun in his home & acknowledged being a regular pot user. #DOJ appealed a lower court largely struck down a #law that bars people who use any illegal drugs from having guns.
"All last week, Republican leaders tried to portray the No Kings protests scheduled for Saturday, October 18, as 'Hate America' rallies. G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers partnered with Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom to estimate that as many as 8.2 million people turned out yesterday to oppose the Trump administration."
~ Heather Cox Richardson
"Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting 'one person' for major cities) all outliers were removed."
~ Alt National Park Service
"The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS.
We are in this together.
And it is up to us to be the leaders we need to save our country and our democracy."
~ Cleve Jones, a key organizer for the global queer community and the San Francisco Bay Area, speaking at the San Francisco No Kings demonstration
"While there are more Americans who are easily misled fools than I’d care to admit, most of us aren’t. Yesterday’s turnout, and the way the vast majority of participants conducted themselves, confirmed my faith that there are indeed more of us than there are of them."
~ Mary Trump
"It should inspire all of us that so many people across generations, belief systems, and races; that members of almost every kind of community came out in force, peacefully and with joy to say with one voice:
'We love our country; we reject tyranny; America has never been and will never be a monarchy.'”
"By mid-day on Sunday, the front page of the New York Times website contained not a single news article about the protests. ...
A few days ago many of us would have expected the New York Times to under-cover the No Kings protests relative to its coverage of much smaller right-wing gatherings."
~ Jamison Foser
"That's the kind of thing the paper does routinely. What I bet none of us could have predicted was the New York Times downplaying the president of the United States posting a video of himself dropping shit on the American people."
"The 'What’s next' question is a positive sign. But some political commentators are spinning that question in a negative way, as in,
'Okay, so you had a big protest. What else you got?' Ignore them. They didn’t show up on No Kings Day 2.0 (or 1.0 for that matter)."

"Motivating 2% of the population to do anything on a coordinated basis has rarely happened in the history of our nation. Some readers noted that early editions of the New York Times said that 'thousands' had shown up to protest; later coverage by the Times on Saturday (updated on Sunday) gave a fair accounting of the large crowds. See New York Times, '''No More Trump!’: Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country."
"The New York Times was almost as unmoved [as CBS], despite the many huge gatherings in the paper’s own backyard. The Times’s print front page on Sunday morning featured two small photographs, below the fold, and the story appeared on page 23. It was part of their wrap-up titled 'The 47th President.'”
