The depravity of this was neatly captured by the Reuters journalist who shot the image Trump brandished.
“In view of all the world,” he said, Trump used his work to push the idea that “white people are being killed by Black people.”

All this draws on an internationalized version of "white genocide" theory that's festered on the global far right.
The "farmers" trope gives it a producerist feel: White salt-of-the-earth populations in their homelands, under siege by dark, rootless hordes. 5/

I realize there is a certain element of okay - the administration's not going to investigate themselves, because corruption.
But it's worth:
1. Looking at the letters,
2. See if your House or Senators are backing this,
3. Asking them to be LOUDER about this,
4. And saying you support.

But I & others saying that were ignored, the growing radicalism of the right was ignored, sanded down, dismissed, Dems continued communicating primarily through MSM reporters who hate them, they continued to imagine that technocratic policy tweaks could shift politics for them, and so here we are.

For 20 years now, I have been saying, "the right is building a giant, explicitly ideological infotainment behemoth, sucking up viewers, sucking up local papers & stations, sucking up radio, sucking up social media, dominating the info environment. Dems aren't. It's gonna be a problem!"

For context, Ollie wanted to go outside, AGAIN, and I said, "No, Spee," and closed the front door.

The entire cast of twilight is incredible. There are a lot of people in here who would be stars just a few years down the road, including Reese Witherspoon, Liev Schreiber and Margot Martindale

Gosh, what if Wells and Welles unpacked this shit like they did "War of the Worlds" for a local broadcast radio station one night in San Antonio?
Don't prompt. Such things belong to imagination, creation, life.
Never to artificial fabrication.

...LIES about what's happening there, that "white farmers" are NOT being murdered, left by the side of the road, the "news" is far from the truth, and the situation is so much more complex than "the news" cares to report.
They genuinely had no idea.
FRIENDS, #WTAF ??? THIS IS SO BAD, BAD AF. 6/6

Again, they both looked absolutely sincere & began talking about the (appalling lies spouted off in that) press conference as I stared dumbfounded, unable to find words until, "Whoa. Um, NO. No, no, no, THAT is NOT TRUE...." I told them about my friend, Noni, from South Africa, & the glaring LIES /5

My heart dropped into the pit of my stomach as she nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah! That's it!" My jaw dropped, ears began burning. I heard 'President Trump' then white noise as she continued talking.
My heart jumped into my throat eventually & I choked out, "You're talking about South Africa!?" /4
