The reason this is all so brazen and so well documented is that these people literally did not see what they did as serious. They saw it as ‘civil disobedience’ at worst.

Why? Because they are White supremacists living in a white supremacist country.

In many parts of the country right now, law enforcement wouldn’t haven’t even pressed charges against them for any of this.

In fact, law enforcement were clearly among their ranks!

These 80%+ red counties are literal bastions of white supremacy.
But even as you move closer to the suburbs or even the cities, you still can get away with A LOT of this.

Lily white states from Maine to Iowa are places where white people feel entitled to do what they please, because this is THEIR country.
It’s a whole lot more convenient for a lot of people to act like these are Klansman from the Deep South, but the reality is, they are from every part of the country. If I had to guess, there are a lot more from up north than down south.

Because this is America.
Even today, while we are in the middle of a violent coup, the white legacy media barely ever mentions the term “white supremacy,” except when describing groups like the proud boys.

Because this is “divisive.”
Instead they talk about “MAGA” or “Trump supporters” or as Chris Cuomo puts it, “Retrumplicans.”

They tell us they *they* are the problem now and the rest of us should unite against them in order to solve this problem.
Bullshit.

The GOPers who rejected Trump but voted for Susan Collins in Maine are just as much a part of the problem.

They too want to continue to live in White Supremacist America.

They just want a more peaceful version of it.
This was Tucker Carlson’s monologue the other night, and the future of much of the GOP.

Bring back peaceful white supremacy.
Much of white legacy media is on board with this.

Worse, much of white LEFTIST and LIBERAL media is also on board with this.

They want to maintain as much of the power structure as possible.
On the left, you have white leftists who demand we center economic issues over “Idpol,” because that keeps the power structure in place.

We have white liberals and white feminists and white gays, who push to keep their own identities central.
There is simply a massive, massive effort from many directions to keep *some form* of institutional white supremacy in place.

None of them want to see it fully dismantled. Just parts of it.
But the fact is, defeating white supremacy—all of it—must be our central focus right now above all else.

Yes, we must have a simultaneous policy focus on a myriad of issues.

But from a political science standpoint, there is ONE thing standing in the way of all of that.
No, it’s not “corporatism.”

It’s white supremacy.

Wow, Morgan McSweeney again, Rachel Riley, SFFN, Center for Countering Digital Hate, Imran Ahmed, JLM, BoD, Angela Eagle, Tracy-Ann Oberman, Lisa Nandy, Steve Reed, Jon Cruddas, Trevor Chinn, Martin Taylor, Lord Ian Austin and Mark Lewis. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut 24 tweet🧵

Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, launched the organisation that now runs SFFN.

Rachel Riley is listed as patron.

SFFN claims that it has been “a project of the Center For Countering Digital Hate” since 4 May 2020. The relationship between the two organisations, however, appears to date back far longer. And crucially, CCDH is linked to a number of figures on the Labour right. #LabourLeaks

Center for Countering Digital Hate registered at Companies House on 19 Oct 2018, the organisation’s only director was Morgan McSweeney – Labour leader Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. McSweeney was also the campaign manager for Liz Kendall’s leadership bid. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Sir Keir - along with his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney - held his first meeting with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM). Deliberately used the “anti-Semitism” crisis as a pretext to vilify and then expel a leading pro-Corbyn activist in Brighton and Hove
the whole point of Dunks was you could go cop them at VIM whenever you wanted for $65. this shit is like having to enter a raffle to buy milk.


like seriously why not make a ton more of them if they're gonna be so sought-after? they land at outlets? so? nike still makes money off that.

the only reason to keep making them so limited is that they KNOW all that matters is the profit on the flip and if they were readily available FEWER people would want them, not more

the whole system is super broken, but it's just gonna go the way it goes, because at this point it all caters to the secondary market. the only reason Nike can sell Jordan 1s for $200 is because the people buying them can flip them for $500

adjusted for inflation, a $65 AJ1 in 1985 is like $160—and modern-day AJ1s are made from cheaper materials in factories staffed by cheaper workers. they don't HAVE to be $200 retail. but the secondary market nuked the whole concept of what sneakers are "worth"

This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
