1. Sorry to bring this up but WTF is going on at Breitbart?
2. A week ago BuzzFeed exposed that Breitbart is collaborating with white supremacists and neo-Nazis goo.gl/gokyai
3. Breibart is basically taking the very worst racist trash, sanding off the rough edges and selling it as "populism"
4. Has anyone at Breitbart quit over this story? Is everyone cool with working for a place that, unequivocally, launders racism?
5. I've contacted dozens of Breitbart employees about this and no has gotten back to me. Seems like everyone is cool with it.
6. If you work at Breitbart and have any thoughts about the Buzzfeed story please let me know. My DMs are open.
7. I did hear back from Ann Coulter. She's cool with it.
8. Cernovich is also cool with it. "The internet is a weird place man."
9. If you work or worked at Breitbart and have any concerns whatsoever about the BuzzFeed story or white supremacy please let me know
10. I people are like "everyone has always known Breitbart is racist" but remember, NYT + WP partnered w/Bannon on reporting this cycle

1. It's important to understand that the 2000 mile border wall is not Trump's idea.

It is Steve King's idea. How do I know? I wrote about it 13 YEARS AGO.

King went to the House floor and actually constructed a model wall.

goo.gl/wP7VJ6
2. Here is what King said July 11, 2006: "So when I get down there and sit on that border, what I do is I come to this conclusion, we can’t shut that off unless we build a fence and a wall. I want to put the fence in, but I want to put a wall in, and I designed one. "
3. More King (7/11/06): "Our little construction company could build a mile a day of this pretty easily, once you’ve got your system going. The whole two thousand miles are not going to work that way, but a lot of it will work this way"

The government is shut down because Trump wants to build Steve King’s wall
IDEA: Stop letting a Congressman who openly embraced white supremacy to set the nation’s policy agenda
LISTEN UP WHITE SUPREMACISTS: There is no place for you in Republican Party except co-chair of a major presidential campaign, chair of a prestigious subcommittee, support from the POTUS, and setting the policy agenda for the entire party

😡 😡 😡 My latest: thread+article on #SebastianGorka's talk in a former synagogue close to #TreeofLifeSynogogue in Pittsburgh, on the eve of the 80th anniversary of #Kristallnacht.👇👇👇Confirmed ties to white supremacists and neo-Nazis.medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
Sebastian Gorka, a Hungarian-American political analyst, is a former Deputy Assistant to Donald Trump and a former editor of the Breitbart News.
2. Four Democratic senators accused Gorka of failing to note on his U.S. citizenship application that he had belonged to a neo-Nazi organization in Hungary. The omission, if proved, would have implications for his US citizenship received in 2012.

The reason you're not "supposed" to use the word "nationalist" is, it's the word neo-Nazis use to describe themselves.

Congrats to the Republican Party on your coming-out party.
This July, Donald Trump went to the EU and used the exact language of far right extremists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis, to talk about immigrants.

Not hyperbole, not slander. Just noting, what he said is exactly what they said. cnn.com/2018/07/13/pol…
This August, Donald Trump used the exact language of neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups to talk about South Africa.

Again, this isn't name calling. These groups say things. Donald Trump said the same things. That's a statement of fact. businessinsider.com/trump-promotes…

As @ChuckGrassley begins 2nd day of Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing by talking about yesterday's disruptions, loud protests immediately break out in back of the room
In response to Grassley's first question, Kavanaugh cites United States vs. Nixon as "one of the greatest moments in American judicial history." 👀
KAVANAUGH: "No one is above the law in our constitutional system... under our system of government, the executive branch is subject to the law... We make decisions based on law, not based on political pressure, not based on identity of the parties, no matter who you are."

WTF Just Happened

1/ Bob Woodward's book describes the Trump as an "emotionally overwrought, mercurial and unpredictable leader," his presidency as "an administrative coup d'etat," and the executive branch as having a "nervous breakdown"

washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-w…
1a/ In one instance, Gary Cohn, Trump's former top economic adviser, "stole a letter off Trump's desk" that the president wanted to sign that would have withdrawn the U.S. from a trade agreement with South Korea.

Dear extremists, you are going to be judged by the worst in your movements. You can say that only a tiny % of [extremist group members] resort to violence, but what will be heard; [extremist group members] are violent.
You can complain about the broad brush which will not change a thing, or you can self-police your movements by not associating with the violent extremists in your midst. Shun them, kick them out of your groups, block them. No one else is going to do this for you.
Militias, if don't want to be called white supremacists and neo-Nazis (and I know the vast majority of you are neither) when you see your compadres appearing in white supremacist/Neo-Nazi rallies or spouting racist crap online, you need to tell them to knock it off.

We are hurdling towards a major crossroads in American history. It is vitally important to recognize the concept of Dual Realities and how we survive this ordeal together.

So let's sober up and take the plank out of our eye. Let's take an honest look at how bad it's gotten. 3/
