So now for @ggreenwald, spreading factually false information is just a matter of political beliefs. It’s OK for Republicans to believe that Biden lost, Trump was cheated, and Hillary sucks the blood out of children.

Oh, and did anyone happen to notice that he shared this TV platform with a transphobic TERF who claims that transgender people have just been brainwashed?

Nice way to be an ally to the LGBTQ community there, Glenn.
Though it shouldn’t surprise anyone, because Greenwald lies so much as a matter of course that naturally he considers false smears legitimate speech.

And when you direct factually accurate criticism at his heroes, it’s a fascist smear.

Also, apparently editors are fascists because they will actually prevent you from publishing factually dubious smears in their publications.

Thread: A 12-year flashback to the first time I ever heard of the Oath Keepers. It happened in 2009 when I was monitoring ‘Patriot’ movement chatter and came across a YouTube video by this man: An ex-Marine named Charles Dyer. You can see why it caught my attention.
2) Dyer’s style was disturbing—combining a skull-mask imposed digitally and his fondness for ‘inspirational,’ anthemic music in the background—but his incendiary, violent rhetoric was especially worrisome. Watch this one to the end: ‘You’re damn right I’m a threat.’
3) This video and others I was seeing float around on the fringes of the suddenly burgeoning ‘Patriot’/militia far right made me concerned about their recruitment of military veterans. There were good reasons to be concerned.

I'm pleased that Australians are figuring out that @Lauren_Southern's presence on Sky News means they have a white nationalist on their teevees. Here's a little more history of her embrace of the racist right. Image
Southern was a kind of celebrity presence during the April 15, 2017, riot in Berkeley, CA, that was in fact the very first event organized by the Proud Boys. She had a PB security detail that day. Image
Accompanying her that day was Brittany Pettibone, who spoke to the crowd of right-wing extremists. Image

This is terrific work, a video that everyone should watch.

Let's also talk a bit about Ethan Nordean.
Nordean appears prominently in this video. You can see him early on coordinating the assault on the Capitol with Biggs, and advising others not to announce their plans out loud.
You can also see Nordean leading the charge that led to the breach of the Capitol. However, whether he made it inside himself is not clear. Biggs did, which is why he is currently under arrest.

Oh really?
Here's what "inviting violence" looks like.
And this is what it looks like when your immigration plans invite violence.

It’s MLK Day, so here are some shots I took in Selma a few years ago of the memorial to him at the Brown Chapel AME church there.
The thing about Selma is that it has always been majority black, but for years it was run by whites who had multiple ways of intimidating black people into silence and disenfranchisement. Which was what the March to Montgomery was all about.
That particular legacy can also be found around the town: In the name of the bridge (Pettus was a Klan leader), and in the Confederate cemetery, where there’s a memorial to Nathan Bedford Forrest, the KKK founder.

This year I decided I needed an antidote to the ugliness that appears regularly on my timeline. Knowing that getting a daily dose of natural beauty is key to my own mental health, I began sharing a daily (well, sorta) photo of the beauty I’ve seen over the years: #TodaysBeauty.
Over half of the #TodaysBeauty shots have been from my photo archives, but I also posted a large number of pix that were contemporaneous. So to celebrate the New Year, here is a thread of some of my favorites, mostly taken this year, month by month. Enjoy!
