Surprisingly the best part of the season in a sea of very, very great performances.
Multiple Trump White House officials have ties to antisemitic extremists
NPR apparently just woke up from a coma and realized Trump is tied to white supremacist racists?
They must have missed the “very fine people” bit. Or Stephen Miller. Or Hungarian Nazi Gorka. Or the Three Percenters, Proud Boys, etc.
How fucking stupid do you have to be to ignore this? On a week where the only immigrants allowed in the country are racist Afrikaners?
Bank of America closing immigrants’ accounts
B of A is freezing accounts of immigrants (re: brown people) to curry favor with the racists in power.
This has happened before to minority communities – in Germany in the 1930s. You know how well that worked out for the minorities.
Expedited South African refugees to resettle in Idaho under Trump order
Under the current regime, the only immigrants we are allowing into the country are racist Afrikaners. You know, because we don’t already have enough white supremacists in this country.
They are being settled in Idaho because that’s where white nationalists go. Full on Nazis, Klukkers, retired LAPD cops. Disgusting.
Witness History: The invention of the automatic electric rice cooker
I am trying to directly download and link this story but here’s some background on the first rice cookers.
Statement on a Disturbing Viral Video
Not sure anything will come of it, but it is nice to see our state Attorney General at least considering looking into our local issue with a white lady screaming racial obscenities at a five year old kid. (Which has potentially earned her $600,000+ in bigoted crowdfunding.)

Southside Battletrain exemplifies May Day joy, south Minneapolis and the absurd

I love these guys. They seem to have a lot of fun crafting their machines. We used to catch them at the Maker Faires they used to hold at the state fairgrounds.
Nice to see them still doing the work.
McDonald’s US sales drop by most since height of pandemic
I am loving it.

TrumpBurger bent the knee early to his odiousness.

But in the last campaign they allowed themselves to be a campaign gimmick…

…then an awkward commercial…

The company is linked to him, and whatever he does is on them a bit too. So watching them lose money because of bad optics, or tariffs, or shitting pricing, whatever, just warms my heart.
Target, Coca-Cola, whoever…you side with a pedophile racist and you deserve what’s coming to ya.
‘Segregated facilities’ are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
Just in case we are all clear: Trump is low key trying to bring back segregation.
Former NFL Player Chris Kluwe On His Arrest Protesting MAGA
Older news, but still good to call out bold behavior in the face of tyranny
