Here's Lauren Southern, the woman @realDonaldTrump retweeted this morning, chatting up her campaign to block seagoing refugees in the Mediterranean in 2017. She and her partner here, Brittany Pettibone, are both dedicated white nationalists.

From the SPLC piece:
I also photographed Southern as one of the attendees at perhaps the most violent of the alt-right shit shows I have covered: April 15, 2017, in Berkeley.
Here's my report for the @splcenter on that event.

This is hilarious, sorta, since this guy is just blowing smoke. I have a bit of history with Steve McLaughlin. Some links and a short thread below.
So back in May 2016 I put together a roundup of some of the nuttier "lands rights" and "constitutionalist" extremists running for office in the West for SPLC. McLaughlin, who was making his first run for WA lands commissioner, was listed.

This elicited much wailing and gnashing of teeth from McLaughlin's campaign. I agreed to meet and interview him and get the story straight. This is the piece that resulted, in which we agreed to withdraw his listing as an extremist.

Sometimes even kinda crappy-quality photos can be cool.

My only excuse is that I was in a kayak and this was the first frame in the series. The second frame is sharper, but this is still the one that caught the dynamism of porpoising orcas swimming at about 20 knots the best.
FWIW, this was the next frame. It was actually quite distant; this is pulled up on my telephoto already, and then enlarged significantly.
I had better luck with a later sequence in closer, but it was only a single whale porpoising. For some reason I love that shot of the pair the best.

Thread of threads:

I do these super-long threads intended to be informational/educational that then get buried and people keep looking for them afterward. So here's a one-stop shop for most of my best threads. They will be in reverse chronology, with the oldest first.

@realDonaldTrump I know you're a really busy man, so pass this off to your son in law to look into. With the patterns of censorship that's been going on with these social media platforms there is a good case to make.
@realDonaldTrump Tucked inside the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 is one of the most valuable tools for protecting freedom of expression and innovation on the Internet: Section 230.
@realDonaldTrump Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider" (47 USC § 230).

Here are the reasons why it is dishonest for Dave Rubin to say he’s anything other than a conservative. This is the comprehensive list. Feel free to add your own stuff.

Reason #1: this photo.

More importantly, the fact that he nearly always agrees with Tucker.
Reason #2: this exchange with Stefan Molyneux

This highlights *The Great Rubin Paradox*:

it is not intellectual or tolerant to entertain ideas that have been widely discredited. Intellectualism is marked by the ability to sort through the good and bad ideas.
Reason #3: Endorsement of far-right Jair Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro has explicitly claimed that he wants to return Brazil to the military dictatorship that existed in his youth. He has said he’d rather his son be dead than gay.

SKY and Chris Kenny say they have never mainstreamed hate of Muslims. So why do their presenters keep posing for selfies with white nationalists?
Here is Adam Giles posing with Blair Cottrell, the former United Patriot Front leader and a convicted criminal, also found guilty of inciting contempt, revulsion or ridicule of Muslims.
Here is @carolinemarcus posing with Lauren Southern, a woman who hired a boat to interfere with migrant rescues in the Mediterranean so they would drown.

This should grieve us. It is a historic low for the US. We must hope that the ceiling of 30k could be reached, though doubtful w/this POTUS. Through this weekend just under 22,000 #refugees had arrived in US(only 2 weeks remain in 2018 fiscal year)

Christians, this # is pathetic,while a call to resettle #refugees isn't biblically commanded a call to rescue & serve them is. A Lifeway survey shows only 12% of evangelicals' views on immigrants & refugees are shaped by scripture. Read this & change that bit.ly/BiblicalMandate
Proverbs 24:11-12, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Behold, we did not know this,’ does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,...... #Refugees

Went to Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan today. Official population at 53,967, according to @UNHCR as of February 2018. All Syrian #refugees.

In many ways it was not what I expected.
First thing you notice is how remote the location is — some 100 kms east of Amman; 20 kms from Azraq town; 75 kms to Saudi Arabia; 255 kms to Iraq; and 90 kms to the Syrian border — from which its inhabitants fled.
At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.
