TODAY: Ani joins us to observe the further nazification of this country with news of the young, black, self-hating groyper who killed another student and himself while leaving behind a manifesto filled with hopelessness and internet-poisoned ideology. We watch the right wing once again try to obscure the results of their destructive ideology by focusing on the shooter's race, and we connect this to the shameless denial around Elon Musk's recent Nazi salute. ALSO: The Trump administration vows to apprehend undocumented migrants at schools and churches, leading teachers across the country to vow to defend their students from ICE. Libs of Tik Tok and others on the right reaffirm their commitment to evil with fantasies about punishing teachers for protecting students--while refusing to acknowledge the substance of their fears FINALLY: One post-left dissident has the courage to ask--now that we've blown up anti-racism and started processing human filth for mass deportation, can we help ease the pain of factory-farmed pigs? We determine if the right can be racism'd into caring about literal animals and we consider the argument that deporting undocumented workers alone will fix the factory farming practices. Please, RFK jr., put down the decapitated whale's head and start working on animal-welfare regulations!

Paul A something says, deceased shooter at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee is a 17-year-old black male named Solomon Henderson.
He live-streamed the attack, shot dead one student, then himself.
He had a vile manifesto.
Legacy media will now bury this story because it doesn't fit their narrative.
No, it's going to get buried by all of the other fucking school shootings we have in this country.
Exactly.
Goddamn.
When I first heard about this, I was like, I kind of thought I was reading about another one, like an old one.
But yeah, it's just this specific type too.
It's happening so much that you just get lost in it.
You said it's only going to get buried by the next one.
Yeah.
It's funny trying to pretend that you're the only news story, you're the only outlet that's going to want to run with the story of a black Nazi shooter.
Because it doesn't comport with their narrative just because he's black?
I don't know.
As somebody who's been a fervent student of liberal media for the last eight years, I can't think of anything better for the liberal narrative than a self-hating black man who got radicalized into loving Trump and becoming a Nazi until he committed an act of violence against a woman.
Do you realize that that is already the conversation that Democratic voters are having with themselves to blame for the loss of Kamala Harris?
If anything, I'm sure it is happening.
I just haven't seen it.
If anything, I'm surprised this hasn't just been spun as like, this is why anti-Semitism is so bad and we must support Israel.
Just focusing on that part of the Nazism.
Well, the ADL, I mean, They've commented on it, but that was like, you know, one of the sources of information.
I believe, no, I might have been looking at something else.
Did they comment on the picture of him Sieg Heiling?
Did they have anything to say about it?
I just read the headline.
I think it was about him.
I think it was about like, you know, the Shooter's Manifesto repeats anti-Semitic stuff, which of course he did.
So, you know, they're right to fucking call it out for sure.
But I haven't seen any like pro-Israel spin on it specifically.
But yeah, it's just they're going to either be stupid or pretend to be stupid until they fulfill their desired political project, which is not great.
Anything else to add about this, Tony, before we move the fuck on?
I mean, not really.
It's just one of those things where it's like, I don't know, just...
Love yourself and find value in yourself because it doesn't matter who you are, you come from, there's something about you that does make you good.
And also, I don't know.
It's just sad that nobody got to him, that nobody else got to him, that nobody was like, hey man, we're good.
It's okay to be who to exist.
It's okay to be black.
It's okay.
These are lies that are being told.
But because that narrative is so prolific and so fervent, it was hard to combat.
And it's something that has kind of been forgotten about in recent times.
Unfortunately, because the new cycle is what the new cycle is, you just don't hear so much about it anymore.
But please believe Black Americans are still being slain on the streets regularly by the police.
There's still all kinds of...
Wild, unfair treatment that's happening.
There's still people crossing the streets when they see a 17-year-old black man coming down the street from them.
That stuff is still happening, and they just forget that this isn't also a possible result of it.
It's just something to remember.
If there's a kid like this in your life who might be going down a nihilistic self-destruction club hellhole, give them Give them the autobiography of Malcolm X or Aaron P. Dixon's autobiography or something.
And if you're interested in learning more about the far-right movement, you should read Bring the War Home by Kathleen Ballou or Alt-America by David Nywart or In God's Country by David Nywart.
I will speak specifically on the autobiography of Malcolm X. When I read that when I was 17, it really changed my life.
And I read it annually now.
And a lot of it is because he does address his efforts to assimilate and finding love in himself and finding the beauty that is existing as a Black person.
And I think that is really important because I think that you feel...
I know this from my own experience.
I know this from lots of friends I've talked to.
You feel wrong for feeling those ways.
You feel wrong for, like you said, trying to assimilate and trying to please somebody who's not you, who will never accept you.
You feel wrong for that.
That can go a couple directions.
You can either fight that and find that love in yourself or you lean into that.
You lean into that and you never find a way to love yourself.
The autobiography of Malcolm X is really That's one of the more important things in that book for me that really helped change my life.
