LEF is part of a big problem in leftist politics, which is white supremacist perfectionism. There's no room for mistakes or for forgiveness, which ultimately undercuts our power as we cut people out for failing to meet impossible standards. www.whitesupremacyculture.info/one-right-wa...

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

NEW: Trump's DOJ is threatening to prosecute a central New York sheriff. Why? The sheriff released a man ICE wanted to arrest, after the man completed his sentence. A constitutional scholar told us "there's no basis in the law" for such charges. But the DOJ wants to spook local officials. More:

The next unemployment report is scheduled to come out March 7 at 8:30 est - assuming it actually is released, given how many people have been laid off by DOGE techbros and Project 2025 MAGA cronies, I think the numbers are going to be a shock and could spark the next wave of mass demos.
