Does Dolt45 have hurricane insurance? Because two are headed for his properties.
Hell no, I'm not warning him!

Irma is a category 5 hurricane, with 185mph sustained winds, and is headed straight for his mansion.
A hurricane warning is currently in effect for the island. St Martin is about 230 miles east of Puerto Rico and the winds from the hurricane should hit the island within the next 24 to 36 hours.
So real estate is his specialty. Hm...
Hurricane Irma, Live Tracking
TO FLORIDA DU'ERS AND FRIENDS: Friday is too late. TOO LATE. Head by THURSDAY to high ground.
Head by tomorrow to high ground. Gainesville, at least, if not the state line.
Some older people just can't handle shelters. The electricity will be out, no fresh water and sewerage services will compound the wait until weeks of water draining are over. I suggest that if anyone can get into a car to drive to shelters, they should pack for a week, even a MONTH, vacation -- that means all your valuables, documents, etc., and head toward the Georgia line for a hotel.
I've been through Category 2, 3, and 4 hurricanes. Irma, being the fastest in recorded history, makes it much more dangerous to stay in Bradenton or anywhere West of I-75. I can't stress enough that if you have the resources, you'll be better off as far away from the West Coast as possible.
Don't wait until everyone else goes. Be ready by Wednesday to hit the road. Evacuees from South Florida will make I-75 a parking lot by Thursday. You can always turn back if it dies down to a tropical storm. But it will only dip to Category 2 after it makes landfall in Florida. The islands will slow it down, but since we don't know what these double wide homes can handle, it's best to leave, not stay in them.
I'm wishing you all the graces of the creator. But please. Trust me. I can't stress enough that your lives are more important than your homes. The flooding will be biblical all around the Florida West Coast.
There is no point in crowding in a shelter when you can get better telecommunications, water and sewer service toward the state line. When it comes to a Category 5 hurricane ANYWHERE, it's far, far better to err on the side of too much caution than not enough.
This hurricane is nothing, nothing, to trifle with. Again, plan for crowds from the south on the highways and leave EARLY. Better to endure the hardship of packing and unpacking and leave EARLY than to sit in heavy traffic from coastal evacuees. All alternative routes will be washed out but the major highways. Wherever you live in Florida, this will be a flooding disaster.
Look carefully at the hurricane route for West Florida in this National Weather Service report. This is going to be worse for you than Harvey was for Houston. When it comes to Irma, it's MUCH better to be a wrong pessimist than a wrong optimist. Pack your important documents, valuables, pets and get OUT. Get moving. Be safe.

Monitoring NeoNazis On the "Discord" Online Chat Forum
I won't access this "Discord" chat forum, but I encourage anyone here to do so if they can.
Unicorn Riot, a video journalist who covered NO-DAPL, got an anonymous tip on Discord's neoNazi activities. Apologies if this seems late, but it's his most recent posting.
Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in the chat logs include Vanguard America, Identity Europa, the Traditionalist Worker Party, League of the South and Anticom, as well as many local “book clubs” formed by followers of the hate site Daily Stormer...
many neo-Nazi groups still rely on the platform for daily planning and recruiting activities...
I'd like to think that the FBI and Southern Poverty Law Center, the source of FBI data on hate groups, are also monitoring this and other neoNazi online sites.
I post this today because Americans are still calling anti-fascists terrorists, when their preventive obstructions and direct actions are defensive only. The fascists are trying to work their way into mainstream politics, and the only way to stop them is to confront them, doxx them, take them to court and jail (thank you, ACLU and SPLC) as the traitors they are.
I hope, as Rachel Maddow continues to examine fascism in U.S. history, that she includes anti-fascist successes.

UNICORN RIOT PRESENTS Data Release Logs That Expose Regional Networks Planning for #UniteTheRight
Unicorn Riot production crews are important on-the-ground friends of antifa.
Here is their latest video/photo/twitter journal work.
This release documents white supremacists trying to develop clusters of connections and support work among different states. The overall aim of the organizers was to create a larger basket of affinity-group-like crews that could advance racist agendas closer to home, and build infrastructure for similar swarm activity to be used for future events.
(This is the end of our series of large screenshot releases from the Charlottesville 2.0 Discord server but we will be publishing additional data from related sources in coming days and weeks.)

Stormfront's shutdown is tech antifa, not censorship. Away with racist purveyors of violence.
From Slashdot:
From the report:
The homepage, as of Tuesday morning, contained articles that make light of the car ramming attack that claimed the life of 32-year-old Heather Heyer; admonish the "Jew media;" liberally employ various racial epithets ... the site's founder promised to bring his site back online. "The Daily Stormer will be live in internet prison with drug dealers, terrorists and perverts, which is where we've been exiled to, for all time," Andrew Anglin said in a statement sent to VICE News. "We should have a real domain online within 24 hours. If it gets shut down again, people will know we are on the black web."

From ThinkProgress:
“I can switch to another domain,” he added, “but it might wind up the same way.”
The SPLC has tied Black’s website to dozens of murders from 2009 to 2014. Perhaps the most notorious of these is Anders Behring Brevik, who killed 77 people in a terrorist attack in Norway in 2011. Most of his victims were teenagers at a summer camp on Utoya Island. He had been posting on Stormfront since 2008 under the username “year2183”.

What the Media Got Wrong About Last Weekends Protests in Berkeley
We don't have to like the name, "antifa."
But we need to support those I now call U.S. DEFENDERS -- U.S. Defending Every Force Ending neoNazi Destruction (of) Equality, Race, and Solidarity
http://www.motherjones.com/media/2017/08/what-the-media-got-wrong-about-last-weekends-protests-in-berkeley/
Two weeks ago, some of those same supremacists helped organize the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed when a neo-Nazi drove a car into a crowd of counterprotesters.
A week later, an attempted far-right rally in Boston drew some 20,000 marchers opposed to white supremacy. Last weekend marked the latest attempt of far-right and white supremacist groups to hold provocative rallies in major American cities—and once again, they were dwarfed by the anti-racist demonstrators.
Much of the coverage of Sunday’s non-rally gave the impression of violence and chaos.
But that wasn’t the story many Americans heard.
By focusing on scattered violence, reporters glossed over the bigger story: The Bay Area has become the latest target of fascist and other far-right groups promoting disruptive rallies across America, often in cities where they know they are not welcome.
Rebecca Solnit:Why let the right & status quo make antifa a thing we all have to debate/condemn/
People keep speaking as though they are some huge liability we must wipe away, but they only are if we take the bait.
Why not just blithely say, oh yeah, who isn't anti-fascist besides fascists, and those people in the confrontations, some doing good stuff, some maybe other stuff, not really the big issue of our time, and also did you notice a woman killed with a car and a man beaten half to death for being black and thousands upon thousands of other black people killed for being black over the last little while and also, could we talk about gender violence for, I don't know, 500 years, because that would start to cover how awful it is except that we also need to talk about climate change as violence and a stolen election?
If you let them set the priorities, you've already lost.
Whose approval are you seeking? Whose do you need? It's also a way they're saying the left has to be 100% nonviolent to earn a cookie from people not doing much to denounce the KKK, Nazis, the NRA gun cult, misogynistic violence, homophobic violence, transphobic violence, environmental violence, economic violence, etc.
When all that violence gets condemned, the right has a leg to stand on, but it won't be the right any more.
When it comes to American concerns, Rebecca Solnit writes with heart and plainspoken, nourishing brilliance.
