POLITICO: A reminder of the last big U.S. government purge. Spoiler alert: It, too, was fueled in part by anti-queer mob mentality:

The widespread political purges of the early 1950s echo clearly today. Seventy years ago, the reasonable pretext of hunting Soviet agents opened the way to a yearslong, paranoid campaign, motivated by outlandish conspiracy theories, that destroyed countless careers but did nothing to improve America’s security.

Today, a stated desire to check the excesses of diversity, equity and inclusion programs has already been used to justify whirlwind firings and closures of entire federal offices. So it may be wise to consider the consequences of that previous era of purges, part of what came to be known as the “Red Scare.”

TWITTER: Rep. Mike Lawler (R-New York) went rogue, mocking Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Georgia) in one fell swoop.

She deserved it:

Nancy Mace is a piece of shit.

Arab Americans for Attention (GIF via GIPHY)

AP: Arab Americans for Trump has changed its name to Arab Americans for Peace, but should just go with Arab Americans, for Fuck's Sake.

NYT: Some deportations I can get behind — the U.S. is reportedly investigating Shen Yun, that arm of Falun Gong, the Chinese loonies who have infested NYC for decades. It's. A. Cult! (I just hope nobody points out how pro-Trump they are.)
