What a miserable weekend. All we can do is keep resisting. There are more of us than there are of them, and we have basic human decency on our side. A lot of people came out today across the country to show solidarity with the victims in Charlottesville, and there are more rallies planned.
On to the tweets:
I need white people to stop feigning surprise with their "this is not america" nonsense.
Yes it is, boo. Where you been living?

.@GoDaddy you host The Daily Stormer – they posted this on their site. Please retweet if you think this hate should be taken down & banned. pic.twitter.com/fqTtGoTbmn

HAPPY UPDATE:

Also from The Daily Stormer:

But that is in part of the motivation with these guys; more precisely, they’re angry that women can and do say no to them. See this thread:
When I say that this is a movement of men who are desperately mad that no one will fuck them, I am actually not just making fun of them.

You know you’ve really fucked up as a human being when you’re denounced by the tiki torch company.
you know when we didn't have nazi rallies in the streets? sometime before popular shitlords started justifying/excusing white supremacists pic.twitter.com/OwBsx1T2Rb

Nothin, if they aren't Nazis. Feminists have been called Nazis for decades and haven't unfurled a swastika flag yet. https://t.co/7JtxIqLsuw

The argument that there are Nazis b/c we call people Nazis is so absurd it's hard to believe even the people making it think it's true.

Oh fuck off, FBI. They found an at-risk right-wing asshole and groomed him to light the fuse on a fake bomb they provided. It’s an indication they’re starting to take the right-wing assholes seriously as potential terrorists — which is good –, but these entrapment operations are disgusting.

That seems less than helpful.
This one weird trick will get you promoted quickly up the ranks of your counterterrorism unit!
@IgnoreSandra
I’m so sorry for your loss. Be gentle with yourself in the coming days.
And their first decision was to try (and fail) to get hosting on Google? How many white supremacists does it take to build your own server? More than there actually are, apparently.
Banned : isn’t their problem to actually have a domain name ? Because being your own registrar is not that easy.
Sandra, as a bunch of other people said, it’s okay to be sad for your kitty.
@Ohlmann: if they used GoDaddy not just as a hosting service, but also as a registrar, then I’m honestly surprised there’s anyone with the Daily Stormer smart enough to actually run a massively trafficked site.
@Sandra
All my condolences. *hugs* offered.
@Grumpy
Don’t bother, it’s an ahistorical load of shit. White supremacy is our national identity and always has been, and will stay that way as long as white people keep trying to pretend it’s not.
Domain removal takes a while to propagate through the rest of the DNS system, it’s a technical feature to keep things from collapsing when registrars go down.
It’ll be cached for probably about a day, if I remember the timings correctly. Your own computer or browser may keep the lookups cached as well, since DNS isn’t meant to change on an hourly basis like this.
The site itself still has a host somewhere, too. It may be on a google server, but I doubt it.
From what I’ve been able to work out, they have a server somewhere, that they’ve pointed cloudflare’s anti-DDOS caching at. Where that server is hosted, could just be a business colo or something.
Cloudflare will try and keep them going through almost anything, assuming they keep getting paid.
What do you call white supremacists standing behind Richard Spencer? A punchline.
@IgnoreSandra
I’m so sorry to read that your kitty died. As time passes, it will get better for you.
I think the actual web server is run by GoDaddy, which gave them 24 hours to get out (at least 17 hours ago), so not long now. Cloudflare may keep them up after that, I don’t know.
@Sandra, Sorry about your cat, they are such good companions.
Thanks! It’s awesome to be here, again!
Thankies! I’m still on FSTDTs, too. I even designed the new logo.
OH! Good news guys! Both GoDaddy AND Google have put the smackdown on The Daily Stormer!….

….The Daily Stormer has been “blown away”! This is great!
Now I hear that there’s gonna be a lawsuit from the Detroit Red Wings! I hope they win and bleed the “Detroit RIGHT Wings” out of existence!

….HEALING KITTY HUGS FOR YOU AND YOUR HEAVENLY KITTY!

Article
“This is not part of what makes us American”
Chinese Railroad workers, slavery, systemic oppression, introduction of drugs into neighborhoods, drug wars, the Electoral College installed by rich white slave owners which is the biggest reason why we’re in this mess. Article writer you are full of it.
So, it turns out there’s a youtube preview graphic for almost anything…

I’m so sorry. This is not nothing – I would be absolutely devastated if my cat died. He is 10, so I know he’s getting on and it upsets me every time I thnk about it. Imaginary hugs across a few thousand miles. Be nice to yourself. xx
My two kitties are getting pretty old, and one was diagnosed with diabetes recently, and got this horrible rash that made her fur fall out in lumpy patches. Others here wanted to put her down, but I fought for her and we got her some insulin and treatment. Diabetes is in remission, and the rash ended up being allergies so she’s on a hypo diet now. So she’s doing so much better and so much more lively! A stark reminder that she’s getting old, though. May your kitties live long and happy lives, everyone, and when they do pass, may they sleep in sunbeams in your mind.
@Sandra
I’m sorry about your cat. My own cat died about five years ago. It’s still hard sometimes, but it gets better.
Thanks, everyone.
I didn’t think he was going to die at all. I just woke up yesterday morning and he couldn’t walk, and wouldn’t eat or drink. So I made him a nest, laid down a sleeping bag, and talked to my mom. She told me it sounded like liver failure, and we couldn’t afford emergency care for him. I was going to go in to the vet this morning, because even if we couldn’t heal him we could give him a painless sleep. But then I had to walk the dog this morning, and between the time I left and the time I came back, he was gone. I feel I’ve failed him because I wasn’t there at the final moment.
CN: Discussion of self harm
I keep thinking this was my fault, and I know my mind is finding ways to try and punish me. But sucks to be it – I made myself eat, and take my vitamins, and my sister came over and got me to make pizza for her and my pos brother. So I had some because it would have been rude not to in that moment. I dressed up the way I wanted to despite having nowhere to go because I knew wearing my skirts would help me. And it did. And then we buried him.
Rest in peace, little kitty. It’s okay to feel those feelings Sandra, they’re normal to feel. You would have felt them even if you were able to be there in the last moments – they would just be about some other thing. That urge to blame yourself for it is a part of grieving. You didn’t do anything wrong, and you aren’t to blame for anything. All the love to you.

I really hope the Daily Sewer finally goes down now. Not holding my breath.
I wonder what the responses of the nazoids will be to Mump’s updated statement?
So, Fox is spinning like a top right now.
On the one hand, they are spelling out “National Socialism” over and over, which sounds weird and ham-handed. National Socialism isn’t socialism, bro! The Nazis and the socialists were blood enemies! But we can’t expect any Fox viewers to know that, and I know Fox is banking on that fact.
On the other hand, they are trying suuuuuper hard to denounce the Nazis. It puzzled me until I realized that they are trying to create daylight between their brand of bigotry and the Nazi brand. So they are going in a spinny circle, trying to cut the Nazis loose and tie them to the left rhetorically.
I heard some real criticism of Trump on Fox this evening, on the topic of his lack of reflexive condemnation of Nazis, which makes me wonder if Fox is thinking about turning on Trump at last.
Possible response “He mentioned other hate groups, so he’s still against antifa, and radical leftists!”
Sad that I can predict these things now. The whole “whatever happens, find something, and claim victory” thing has been the dumb radical’s choice in logic for a long time.
One author (known for “The Big Lie”) went so far as to put his books on a table at Costco, covering stacks of other people’s fiction books. Took a picture of it, and tweeted something about Charlottesville being a “media left” lie. The irony meter maxed out.
