Here is a full transcript of Jack Posobiec's alarmingly fascist speech about the war against "un-humans," which he delivered from the main stage of the National Conservatism Conference this week, immediately before a speech by a US Senator. Read it for yourself www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/jack-posob...

If someone told you, "Many of America's top reporters spend a lot of their day in a chat room run by a 'great replacement' believing white supremacist and where many posters are Nazis" you'd be alarmed. That's basically the situation now.

We’re at 90%!!! Thank you. A reminder from @bolts.bsky.social how scared Arizona Republicans are of a majority of the state’s voters.
You've been hearing two things: 1. Arizona may be an easier lift for Dems than NC and, possibly, MI. 2. The race will likely be so close that it could be decided by "reverse coattails," or energy for down-ballot races We're 81% of our 2024 goal for flipping AZ's statehouses. Join us.

(📢) NEW at PROOF: We Now Know What Really Happened in Atlanta 🔗: sethabramson.substack.com/p/we-now-kno... This report is very long, 100% free, filled with scores of reliable major-media links, and begins with an executive summary to make it easier to follow. I hope you’ll read and share it.
We Now Know What Really Happened in Atlantasethabramson.substack.com Media lied to voters about the cause of President Biden’s subpar debate performance. The lie—described here in full—is unforgivable, and was intended to chill discussion of Trump’s cognitive decline.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”
