The Post/Stuff has some odd slants - I presume they want to keep piling on Genter as "emotional". Have they chased Andrew Bayly down the street & at his house like Golriz for touching that young graduate he "held"? This story makes me like Julie Ann Genter so much more #StuffisStuffed #nzpol

Following his Nazi salute, Steve Bannon engages in unalloyed antisemitism, calling progressive US Jews the "#1 enemy...inside the wire" for Israelis, "progressive Jewish billionaires funding all this stuff", disloyal to Israel & MAGA

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread
