Never forget: Patrick Crusius believed he was acting🚨at the direction of Trump when he murdered💔23 people & wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart in 2019.

“He thought he'd to stop the invasion bc that’s what his pres. was telling him, which is just not rational,” DEF ATTY Spencer said in his 1st extended interview about the mass shooting that Crusius said was meant to stop “the Hispanic invasion of TX.”

smh
Israel is a failed state doing terrorism and war crimes.

And it's supported by DE, USA, GB, AU. At least.

Western civilization supporting genocide.

It's spreading - the Belgian Congo, the German Nazis in WWII, currently a major part of western civilization.

And we're surprised by Trump?

Pity this isn't a episode plot from some entirely fictional dystopian Netfix series.

The word friends used to describe convenience store worker and part-time DJ Matthew Allison: Goofy. This @ProPublica report explains how he was also a key figure in Terrorgram, a network of white supremacist chat groups and channels. He was arrested last year; prosecutors say he used the Telegram platform to solicit attacks on government infrastructure, encourage the assassination of politicians and distribute instructions for making bombs.

"The goal of this sort of kidnapping and hellish incarceration isn’t to clear the streets of criminals or promote public safety or even prevent immigration: it’s to create #terror. And it’s working.

This is a playbook as ancient as the world’s first kings...

every #tyrant throughout #history has used the threat of arrest and imprisonment as a way to force public compliance with their regime."

Frontline and ProPublica have just released their in-depth investigation into Terrorgram. It's really well done and gets into both the background of how Terrorgram came to be in the first place and how its organizers groomed the teenager who eventually shot three people outside a queer bar in Bratislava, killing two of them. I recommend it for anyone who's interested in all of that. There are lots of details and illuminating observations throughout.

One warning, though: there is some rather violent footage early on, particularly from Unite the Right. I'm specifically kind of pissed that people *still* insist on showing the footage of the car attack, and without even any run-up -- just cutting straight to that moment, as though the world doesn't already know what happened, as though there were no living people whose lives were completely fucked up that day and may really suffer for seeing that yet again.

If that's an issue for you, maybe skip from around 7:00-8:10, and particularly right around the 8:00 mark. You won't be missing anything of value.

“Genocide in Gaza is Unfolding – And There’s Still More to Come”

by Jeremy Salt in Palestine Chronicle

“Gaza has fully exposed the limitless violence inherent in a colonial settler state. Israel’s genocide is aimed at extinguishing everything that is Palestinian, the people, the water they drink, the food they eat & the trees they grow”
