Mike Brock breaks down the Pirate Wires hit piece on Heather Cox Richardson.

“A case study in how sophisticated cowards attack truth-tellers while serving power” is a one sentence summary of Peter Thiel and Mike Solana's #PirateWires that I wish I had come up with myself.

"The No Kings rallies this weekend resulted in not one arrest, if you don’t count MAGAs who showed up with guns to threaten protesters. Not only were the crowds peaceful, they were at times joyous. People brought their kids, American flags waved in abundance, and senior citizens made up a good chunk of the attendees. Not exactly the antifa demographic."

"At some point, even the conned grow aware that they are the marks. The gold on the walls is mere paint, the watches are cheap knock-offs, and the lies simply grow too big to sustain. That is the moment our sustained joy becomes their kryptonite, and the truth begins to wash away the shit he’s dropped on all of us."

"So, MAGA had to change tack. Suddenly, the worst thing they could say was that the protests were full of old white people 'let out of the nursing home.' They called participants 'nerds; who lived in their parents’ basements and were supposedly 'paid' to be there. It went from a violent mob to a D&D meetup real quick."

Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote a month earlier in the group chat seen by POLITICO:

🚨🚨🚨

“No moulignon holidays … From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth,” then added: “Every single one needs to be eviscerated.”

#Trump #MAGA #GOP #Republicans #Nazis #antisemitism #racism #WhiteSupremacy #MaleSupremacy #WhiteChristianNationalism

#PaulIngrassia …made the remarks in a chain with a half-dozen #Republican operatives & influencers, according to the chat.

🚨🚨🚨

“MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his ‘holiday’ should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs,” Ingrassia wrote in January 2024, according to the chat.

“Jesus Christ,” one participant responded.

#PaulIngrassia is scheduled to appear Thursday in a confirmation hearing with the #Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee, but his confirmation, which requires simple majority approval from the Senate, seems to be doomed.

"It was the senior protesters who really got to me. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be of a generation whose parents endured or fought in World War II, to see where we’re headed right now, and to be all too aware that you may not be around before we know if we’re going to get out of this. I can’t imagine facing the end of life with the worry that your grandkids won’t inherit the birthright for which your parents fought and sacrificed."

Radley Balko on the No Kings event in Nashville he and his family attended:

"I saw no support for Hamas, no violent extremism, and no support for terrorism. It was, as the kids say, overwhelmingly normie.

I also saw no money exchange hands, and if I’m supposed to get a check from George Soros, it hasn’t yet arrived."

"It’s obvious that Republican proselytizing and fearmongering about violence and agitators at this rally was strategic, but it’s even more obvious that it was a piss-poor strategy. You can’t plug your ears and yell 'antifa' while hundreds of thousands of Americans march through the streets."

"But perhaps equally upsetting for Republicans: The 200,000 people who are estimated to have shown up in D.C.—of the roughly seven million protesters nationwide—represented an expansive contingent of Americans."

Malcolm Ferguson looks at the Washington, D.C., No Kings protest and says Republicans should be afraid. The event itself entirely exploded the fear-mongering lies about a left-wing extremist event full of violence. Ferguson notes:

"The atmosphere was extremely energetic and family friendly for both young and old."
