“I’m not a reader. I’m not a book person,” says Florida woman who was caught promoting a Nazi propaganda book on her Facebook page. This is the same non-reading woman who just got Amanda Gorman's poetry restricted in a Florida public school. jta.org/2023/05/24/uni

This guy presents himself as the *reasonable, sophisticated* wing of the Target boycott movement So this is the MOST reachable person Target is trying to appease — and he thinks Target worships Satan because he read it on the internet.

Exhibit 8,570 showing that QAnon makes you a miserable crank. A big part of being a Q-watcher is just… seeing anon after anon go “I believe a bunch of BS & can no longer have joy in my life. Also,” (insert bonus horrible thing like, in this case, “I’m a sovereign citizen now”).

DeSantis says, if elected president, he’d consider pardons for Jan. 6 offenders

David Roberts

"If you commit violence on behalf of the right, we will protect/celebrate/pardon you." This is more or less the official position of the party now. It is not compatible with democracy.

washingtonpost.com

Ron DeSantis’s comments are similar to those of Donald Trump, though the former president has said he would not only issue pardons but make an apology to the Jan. 6 offenders.

But that supposed day of harmony never comes. There is ALWAYS more difference to punish, more impurity to expel. The drivers behind fascist movements love that environment. The ACT of purging, the ACT of sadistic punishment is what they crave.

During the early stages fascists act like they're "just" going after the trans people or the gay people or the communists or the heathen, implying that AFTER they have purged the fatherland of all these impure elements, then the remaining volk will exist in homogenized peace

Not only is it pointless to try to appease fascists by giving them a little bit of what they ask for, it's also pointless to give them ALL of what they ask for, because unless you're the one feeding the narrative TO them, there's always going to be more that they want.

This really cannot be emphasized enough

Target thinks this is going away, and it's not. Target could pull all their Pride merchandise and sever every relationship they have with the LGBTQ community, but anything short of a corporate statement of "Yeah, we hate LGBTQ people, too" will not end this.

Companies need to understand what's happening right now. You cannot mollify bigots whose primary desire is to be angry. You've already lost them. They're gone. If you cave to them, you're sacrificing the loyalty of other consumers for a sad, small group that will never like you.

Buddy, if this ain’t the story of my life…

Anyway: all of this is to say that Poker is good and so is his thread.

An alternative hypothesis might be that drops 1 and 2 aren’t actually by Q, but they have Q’s voice and preoccupations, so A) I think they’re almost certainly written by Q, but also B) If they aren’t, that would be pretty strong evidence that proto-Qs were abundant on 4chan.

which was days after this. Q actually “confirmed” several of these images as being correct and complete, so we know they were happy to let drops 1 and 2 fade into obscurity. But around 11/11/17, some anons rediscovered the first two drops & they made their way into canon.

In fact, even anons didn’t discover them for over a week. The earliest “Q maps” — meaning images that compiled all of Q’s then-known 4chan postings — didn’t show drops 1 or 2. They started when Q got 4chan-famous (bc that’s when anons started collecting the posts)…

While we’re on this subject: There are a lot of anons who claim they’ve been following Q since those first two drops on 10/28/17, and pretty much all of them are lying. The first two Q drops sank without a trace, drawing just a handful of replies and no followers.

Also: I have never once, to the best of my knowledge, seen an anon claim that they asked a National Guard member and they *were* called up for duty when Q said it would happen. Perhaps because it was a total fantasy. 🤷‍♂️

Correct. Read the next tweet in this thread, too, where Poker correctly points out Q’s shift from “her passport will be flagged a couple days from now so she can’t run” to “actually Hillary has already been detained.” This within the space of 2 hours. These were shitposts!

Q themselves showed up and made totally insane claims that would destroy their credibility from the start. That Hillary was about to be arrested. That you could ask members of the National Guard if they had been called up and they would confirm they had.

If I had to guess—and this is very off-the cuff—the FBI investigation into QAnon was dropped at least in part because, in 2018 to early 2019, there was just no evidence that whoever was behind Q was getting “any money, paper, document, or thing of value” out of the stunt.

Still unsettled legal question: is LARPing as a group of high level intel officers on imageboards a crime? According to these newly released documents, the New York field office of the FBI wasn't very aggressive in investigating the possibility that "Q" committed a crime. twitter.com/AlKapDC/status…

Ronna McDaniel Says Possible U.S. Default ‘Bodes Very Well for the Republican Field’ in 2024

The Republicans keep admitting their dangerous extortion strategy, and the press keeps ignoring it so they can pretend the GOP is behaving normally

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said the U.S. potentially defaulting on its debt would be a boon for Republicans in 2024.

Documents newly released by the FBI suggest that the bureau opened an investigation in 2018 into the identity of Q regarding the possible federal crime of "false personation of a federal official," & that subpoenas were issued, but that the investigation closed in 2019.

It's worse than a boycot, it's a harassment campaign. If conservatives don't want to spend money at Target, that's their right. But Target is backing down in the face of threats. apnews.com/article/target

@oneunderscore__

Anyone falling for the extreme far-right's Target backlash — and framing it as a both-sides debate — are not doing their journalistic duty. They're repeating a harassment campaign that was telegraphed in public months ago. That is not your job as reporters.

Not only is the clip bullshit (as Mike explains in the thread), but the original tweet mixes up Seth Rogan and Joe Rogan, because conspiracists are TERRIBLE at fact-checking. P.S. I replied to the very last tweet in Mike’s thread with a bonus treat — a deep cut! Enjoy.

This clip of two comics telling Joe Rogan about a "Rothschild pyramid" in a town they built in Arizona is going viral. Felicity is an unincorporated community of two people in southeast CA, the pyramid is a tourist attraction, and the Rothschilds have nothing to do with it. twitter.com/HoneeDesigner/…

Target giving into anti-LGBTQ fascists. Seems significant that some items being singled out include gender affirming clothing. This is an attack on LGBTQ visibility but also an attack on accessible resources for trans/GNC people as bans against trans healthcare sweep the country.

The Trump movement carries on like they have a majority but they demonstrably don't. What they do have is a willingness to engage in threats and intimidation, like they did on J6, when they lost. Attacking Pride displays follows the same premise.

@Target

claims that they are removing Pride merchandise from their stores to protect the security of their employees. The message that anti-LGBTQ+ bigots and fascists will receive from this is that making violent threats works. They will get worse.

A quick look through the social media of Miami parent Daily Salinas who filed the book challenge would show she’s activist w far-right group Moms for Liberty. But also her support for the Proud Boys + antisemitic “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy content. 3/

Social media postings from Salinas Daily, who uses the last name of her husband Alberto Rego.

Top left: “Los mejores [the best]. My Proud Boys.” Picture shows Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio and Joseph Biggs, both indicted on Jan 6 conspiracy charges, at the “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017.

Top right: Anti vaccine conspiracy flyer in Spanish which claims, among other things, that the COVID vaccine is “mortally dangerous.”

Bottom left: Image titles “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - a summary” a long standing antisemitic conspiracy document which claims Jews were secretly plotting world domination.

Bottom right: Promoting the Mostly Peaceful Latinas podcast hosted by Miami QAnon figure Isabella Rodriguez aka #RedPillBabe and “christo fascist” figure Linda Cuadros. #WakeUpWithLinda
