RT @oneunderscore__: Months before the NY Post story, a document passed around far-right websites detailed a vast Hunter Biden conspiracy.

RT @JeffSharlet: Police nationalists often merge "law & order" w/ an authoritarian idea of Christianity. But in essence I think it's a secularization of authoritarian faith, fetishization of a fixed, received "law & order" similar to fundamentalist "natural law" w/ state power replacing divine. https://t.co/s0rJ50jeg5
RT @JeffSharlet: Police nationalists, like the civilian creator of the Blue Lives Matter flag, are mostly *not* law enforcement. Rather, they're people who form an identity, a sense of themselves, *through* fantasizing punishment for others. Hence the popularity of the Punisher motif. https://t.co/vCjRUI7Igq
RT @JeffSharlet: First the black, white & blue anti-Black Lives Matter flag flew outside of Trump rallies, then on stage, next to the US flag; in Wisconsin last week it replaced the US flag behind Trump; now the American flag, with all its complications, is just gone, & a fascist banner waves. https://t.co/kJC0V06OqY

Starting at the top with Donald Trump. https://t.co/hkFp3rL6kk
RT @mjs_DC: How radical is Kavanaugh's theory? John Roberts felt compelled to reject it in a separate opinion, correctly noting that federal courts should keep their noses out of a state court's interpretation of its own state's election laws. Roberts is now the moderate on voting rights. https://t.co/XHJLTE1uSQ
