Wanna see what it looks like when a reporter gets suckered by a buncha Nazis? abc7news.com/exclusive-trum… via @abc7newsbayarea
Like, it's possible this group exists and is as described. Not very possible but possible. But this is a one-source story from a Trump supporter, and Trump supporters have not had credibility for a long time -- especially not after everything that led up to 1/6.

Appears to be something of a pattern with this reporter. Weird how he doesn't seem to be getting scrutinized for lack of objectivity by the usual pundits and "media watchdogs" though!

Antivaxxers and white supremacists played a key role in the Recall Newsom campaign, remember? This is from July 2020 about a May 2020 event involving the "Freedom Angels," which was the previous moniker of the "Mamalitia." Some were were at the Capitol 1/6 web.archive.org/web/2020071704… Image

Community college (education, really) should be free and available to all, no question about it. I dropped out of high school at sixteen, and never would have been able to go on to university years later if it hadn't been for the @SDCCD transfer program.

you can short-circuit it completely. It is also probably the most wholesome thing you can use social media for at this point.
