Overthrow democracy completely and install a complete theocracy. Need I say anymore? The Republican Party of tRump, a Taliban level religious thuggery. The only one with rights will be the men at the top. Hugs. Scottie
“All right, welcome, welcome, I just wanted to say welcome to the end of democracy. We’re here to overthrow it completely, we didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here [waves cross]. We’ll replace it with this right here. That’s right, because all glory, all glory is not to government, all glory to God.” – Far-right extremist Jack Posobiec, brandishing a necklace with a cross pendant.
Posobiec, widely considered to be the primary promoter of QAnon Pizzagate batshittery, appeared here last week when a Michigan state rep was stripped of his committees for sharing a racist meme posted by Posobiec.
Also last week, Posobiec appeared on Charlie Kirk’s podcast where the pair agreed that children should watch televised executions.
In 2023, Posobiec led prayers in Latin as a Catholic mob protested the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Dodger Stadium. He also posted a fake photo claiming that God had punished the Dodgers by flooding the stadium.
In 2020, Posobiec appeared on JMG when he claimed that Black Lives Matter activists had placed pipe bombs on the National Mall, a claim DC police said was false.
The following month the SPLC published a lengthy report linking Posobiec to white supremacist groups and neo-Nazis. Posobiec occasionally works a host for OAN.
He first gained national headlines when he and Laura Loomer disrupted a Shakespeare play in Central Park and is perhaps most infamous for infiltrating an anti-Trump rally and holding up a “RAPE MELANIA” sign.

Use it as one element of a campaign, yes. Use it on a loop, by which I assume you mean build the entire campaign around it (and my apologies if I misread your meaning), no — the Ds have a lot of arguments that they can use.
I agree. It’s nonsensical, but the media just looooooves banging that drum. It may have worked against McCain to have Palin as a running mate, but that was because she was a blithering idiot. VP Harris gets largely ignored in the MSM, which I think sucks because she’s awesomely qualified.
The republicans are the party of racists. Not all republicans are racists but all racists are republicans. And the racist authoritarians have become the majority of the elected party members are flat out open white supremacists. They why is hard to understand why? It can not be where they are from because they are all over the country, so it must be from constantly being told brown people from other countries are somehow less than US white people. Or they are paid to be that way by the donations they get from hate groups and people like Putin / Russia. Either way, they are not pro-US, they are not patriots, they are bigot racists who deny that this country has always been multicultural and multiethnic. Hugs. Scottie
U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs over the weekend appeared at a rally that was co-sponsored by several extremist organizations, including the state’s chapter of the Proud Boys, and a student group that has promoted anti-Jewish materials.
Held in front of Arizona’s state Capitol, the 11th annual Second Amendment Rally featured not only a roster of gun rights advocates, but also several players from the state’s right-wing fringe.
One of the event’s “foundational sponsors” was the College Republicans United, a student group with chapters in Arizona that embraces white supremacy. CRU’s website promotes texts that helped fuel the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment in the early 20th century, including Henry Ford’s “The International Jew” and “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion,” a fabricated text that claims to document a Jewish plan to dominate the world.
CRU also has ties to white supremacist Nick Fuentes. On Saturday, the group’s table displayed a flag emblazoned with Fuentes’ logo.
One of its members created the event’s pamphlets, according to a copy obtained by The Arizona Republic.
Arizona’s chapter of the Proud Boys, the right-wing group known for promoting political violence, also was a sponsor of Saturday’s rally.
The event appearance was not out of character for Biggs, R-Ariz., one of the furthest right members of Congress who has long been associated with right-wing extremism, including the push to undermine the 2020 presidential election. Biggs, along with Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., were among 26 Republicans who refused to sign a pledge disavowing “white nationalism and white supremacy.” He previously spoke at the Second Amendment rally last year.
“Let me tell you what the hard left — the Marxist Democrats in Congress — want to do. They want to take away your gun rights,” Biggs said at the event.
“Anti-gun zealots are unleashing a full-frontal assault on our God-given, constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights,” he wrote on social media afterwards. “I don’t accept these attacks and neither should you.”
Biggs represents much of Phoenix’s Southeast Valley in Congress. His office did not respond to a request for comment.
Among more mainstream conservative organizations, the far-right groups’ brands are political kryptonite. Earlier this year saw a firestorm when several county Republican committees said they were duped into planning a CRU event that involved Fuentes. The county GOP groups walked back their participation, or denied they were involved, once the connection became known.
State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Leo Biasiucci, R-Lake Havasu City, and Turning Point USA contributor Paige Roux also were on the program for Saturday’s event.
Conservative state Rep. Austin Smith, R-Wittmann, was listed as a speaker in event promotional materials, but his name was taken off the event website in the weeks leading up to the rally. Smith, who has previously called CRU a “cancer,” confirmed he was not in attendance, but said he “had no clue” the student group was involved and could not attend the event because of other obligations.

Hate has no place in Arizona. Rather than working to move Arizona forward, @RepAndyBiggs continues to sow hate and division by attending a Proud Boys rally.
This is why we need to win with dems up + down the ballot in November.https://t.co/M0k2pYU0FC
Congress and AZ state reps, it isn't hard: don't hang with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. You are judged by the company you keep.https://t.co/TDaQgDDGVs
Please watch this video. It is so important to understand just what Israel is doing to hospitals, medical providers, and how they just don’t see any Palestinian or their supporters as humans, as people. To the Israelis, they are all something to be wiped out, to be terrorized to nonexistence. Hugs. Scottie
Emma speaks with Dr. Tarek Loubani, associate professor at the University of Western Ontario and leader of the Glia Project, to discuss what is happening on the ground now that hospitals in Gaza are mostly non-operational.
What Beau is referring to is an N.B or transgender teen who was brutally assaulted in a girls’ bathroom. Notice that the attacks on trans and non-binary people in bathrooms got much worse at the urging of right wing hate preachers / politicians. Notice it is the rhetoric is always that trans people will hurt your daughters, but the facts show that is wrong. It is the trans people being hurt by cis people. For needing to use a toilet. I did not post the quote but in the first article it mentions Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, is facing intense scrutiny over his ties to Chaya Raichik, the figure behind the far-right Libs of TikTok hate account, and for their outspoken stance against transgender rights. Hugs. Scottie
The grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that her child had been the subject of months of intensifying bullying that began earlier in 2023 after Oklahoma’s Republican-led government banned transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity.Benedict told their grandmother that they and another trans student had fought the other students in the bathroom, according to the Independent. The teen told her they’d hit their head on the floor. “Nex did not see themselves as male or female,” Sue Benedict said. “Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that.” https://news.yahoo.com/oklahoma-transgender-student-dies-allegedly-125629309.html

What is nonbinary?
A nonbinary person experiences their gender identity and/or gender expression outside of the binary categories of “man” and “woman.” Other words may be used by nonbinary people to describe their gender more specifically, including agender, bigender, demigender and pangender.
Some nonbinary people call themselves transgender and consider themselves part of the transgender community, while others do not.
“Nonbinary is an umbrella term that encompasses many different ways to understand one’s gender,” according to GLAAD.
What is transgender?
Transgender describes a person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
A person can be transgender without having gone through a transition — the process in which a person brings their gender expression and/or their body into alignment with their gender identity. A transition can include a social transition, legal transition and medical transition.
What is cisgender?
Cisgender refers to a person who is not transgender, and whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth.
Total Chaos: What A Palestinian American Doctor Saw In Gaza
Thaer Ahmad then walks through his assessment of the already shaky state of the healthcare system in pre-October 7th Gaza, as well as his relationship to the healthcare system, as a first-generation Palestinian-American doctor, before tackling the extensive effort it took to get into Gaza as a healthcare worker. Next, Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers.
Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers. After looking at the impact of the mass starvation and water scarcity on health, Thaer explores the constant siege on hospitals, even in the south of Gaza, and the clear goal of extending the ethnic cleansing until Gaza is gone, also expanding on the massive impact of the violent occupation on children in Gaza.
