it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize that in 100 years historians are going to use it as shorthand to summarize the whole era you're living through right now.

A streamer with the group described it as a “total Aryan victory.”
🚨James Gosnell Jr. — the Charleston County magistrate who in 2015 told grieving Emanuel AME families that white supremacist shooter Dylann Roof’s relatives were “victims too” — has pleaded guilty to two federal charges: possession and distribution of child s*xual abuse material (CSAM).
Gosnell faces up to 20 years on each count, a mandatory minimum of 5 years, restitution, and lifetime sex offender registration.
Federal prosecutors say the CSAM recovered from Gosnell’s devices specifically included infants and toddlers.
In their motion opposing bond, they laid out Telegram communications between Gosnell and a co-defendant (who has already pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate) describing a planned trip to jointly abuse a infant, plus alleged references to past international trips connected to abusing young children abroad.
Gosnell spent months in jail claiming his devices were hacked (of course) and the CSAM was placed there. That story collapsed the moment a plea was on the table.
No matter how horrific the crimes, they always portray themselves of the victim.
Gosnell is the same judge reprimanded by the SC Supreme Court in 2003 for using a racial slur from the bench with a Black defendant.
A man who spent decades deciding who deserved the benefit of the doubt was, by prosecutors’ account, s*xually exploiting children this the whole time.
Sentencing date is to be determined.
Gosnell was originally appointed to the bench by Republican SC Governor David Beasley in 1996.

Your reminder that during COVID, Ramaswamy was all in on the vaccine, from which he later made billions, and was pushing for mandatory tests, shelter at home, and segregating the population based on bio markers.
Not a single state went as far as he proposed, and his plan would’ve left Ohio closed longer than any state in the country.
His attacks and ads could not be more dishonest.
A spokesperson for U.S. Health and Human Services confirmed to Stateline on Friday that the agency is canceling 53 out of 67 grants, worth about $68 million, under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, affecting grantees in more than two dozen states. https://t.co/aysTU7dKRs
A whistleblower says a former DOGE member claimed he kept his SSA computer & credentials w/ “God-level” access to SSA systems. Yet the “Save America Act” wld force every state to rely on a voter-purge system dependent on SSA data, creating a national election security threat. 1/
In its ruling today to scrap the limits on political party spending, the court is deepening the rot of money in our politics.
The Supreme Court is doubling down on the disaster of the Citizens United decision.
This is now another path for wealthy donors and corporate power to control political parties and for political parties to control their candidates.
Four Supreme Court justices have argued that Donald Trump can change the Constitution with an executive action, BUT JOE BIDEN CAN’T FORGIVE YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT.
It’s rigged. Burn it all down.
The same court that torched Roe, handed the President a get-out-of-jail-free card, and took a chainsaw to the Voting Rights Act, just decided that a billionaire who’s legally capped at giving $7,000 to Mike Rogers’ campaign can now give the party $132,900 to spend directly on Mike Rogers anyway. They’re calling it, “free speech.” The Supreme Court has turned into Donald Trump’s law firm at this point. Stop pretending it’s neutral. Expand the court.
