"Last week, it was reported that America First — a white nationalist movement inspired by the rise of former president Donald Trump — had been thrown into turmoil. Why? Because one of its highers-up got himself a girlfriend. When the movement’s treasurer found a romantic partner, it enraged honcho Nick Fuentes, who has described himself as both “just like Hitler” and a “proud incel,” the term for those who are “involuntarily celibate.” (Why one would be “proud” to be “involuntarily” anything is another discussion.) Now Fuentes has doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on his stance, arguing that there’s nothing more “gay” than hooking up with girls."

Race-driven or hate crime motivated shootings have become a common occurrence on a weekly basis in the United States. Francesca Fiorentini and Ana Kasparian break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Shooting at Asian-run salon in Dallas may be a hate crime, police say - https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/14/dallas-asian-salon-shooting-hate-crime/ "The Dallas police chief announced Friday that a recent shooting at an Asian-run hair salon that left three women wounded may be a hate crime and could be connected to a series of similar incidents at other local businesses run by Asian Americans. A day after police had initially ruled out the possibility of a hate crime, Chief Eddie Garcia said during a news conference that when investigators started connecting the dots to two other recent shootings, it appeared that Wednesday’s attack at Hair World Salon “might be motivated by something other than a random act.” “As in any other instance where we feel any part of our community is being attacked for a reason of hate, we’re going to take this abundance of caution,” Garcia said, noting Dallas police are working with partners, including the FBI, to investigate. “Hate has no place here.”" Watch Francesca on The Bitchuation Room Sundays at 5/8EST http://www.youtube.com/franifio Follow Francesca: http://www.twitter.com/franifio Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Bernie Sanders slams Jeff Bezos on Amazon company practices after Bezos tried to attack Biden on inflation. Francesca Fiorentini and Ana Kasparian break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Inflation and Corporate Price-Gouging - https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/inflation-and-corporate-price-gouging/ "As the debate goes on about how much inflation is due to (a) excess demand, (b) supply chain shocks, (c) the war, or (d) opportunistic corporate price-gouging, the political fact is that inflation is ravaging President Biden’s popularity. While discouraging the Fed from worsening matters by overdoing interest rate hikes can help, the administration needs to be more proactive on other fronts. Reshoring sources of supply is a promising policy, but it will take time. Likewise offsetting consumer price increases by putting more money in people’s pockets, by supporting policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit and affordable child care and pre-K. But this runs into Joe Manchin."

Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, is under fire for repeatedly pushing the extremist 'Great Replacement Theory' after mirrored ideas are found in the Buffalo mass shooter's manifesto. Francesca Fiorentini and Ana Kasparian break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: A Fringe Conspiracy Theory, Fostered Online, Is Refashioned by the G.O.P. - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/15/us/replacement-theory-shooting-tucker-carlson.html "Inside a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018, a white man with a history of antisemitic internet posts gunned down 11 worshipers, blaming Jews for allowing immigrant “invaders” into the United States. The next year, another white man, angry over what he called “the Hispanic invasion of Texas,” opened fire on shoppers at an El Paso Walmart, leaving 23 people dead, and later telling the police he had sought to kill Mexicans. And in yet another deadly mass shooting, unfolding in Buffalo on Saturday, a heavily armed white man is accused of killing 10 people after targeting a supermarket on the city’s predominantly Black east side, writing in a lengthy screed posted online that the shoppers there came from a culture that sought to “ethnically replace my own people.”" Watch Francesca on The Bitchuation Room Sundays at 5/8EST http://www.youtube.com/franifio Follow Francesca: http://www.twitter.com/franifio Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Workers everywhere are getting crushed by major corporations that make insane profits, such as Dollar General and Mcdonald's.

The Covid-19 pandemic has incited a resurgence of interest and support for the US labor movement and for low-wage workers who bore the brunt of Covid-19 risks. The unrest also comes as corporations have often reported record profits and showered executives with pay increases, stock buybacks and bonuses, while workers received minimal pay increases. Workers at billion-dollar corporations from Dollar General to McDonald’s still make on average less than $15 an hour while often being forced to work in unsafe, grueling conditions."

Glenn Greenwald publicly defends Tucker Carlson after the recent backlash of Carlson's defense of the 'Great Replacement Theory' mirroring the rhetoric found in the Buffalo gunman's manifesto. Francesca Fiorentini and Ana Kasparian break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Fox News’ Tucker Carlson under fresh scrutiny after Buffalo mass shooting - https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fox-news-tucker-carlson-fresh-scrutiny-buffalo-mass-shooting-rcna29084 "Fox News personality Tucker Carlson is facing intense scrutiny from extremism experts, media watchdogs and progressive activists who say there is a link between the top-rated host’s “great replacement” rhetoric and the apparent mindset of the suspect in the weekend’s deadly rampage in Buffalo, New York. The white suspect accused of killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood apparently wrote a “manifesto” espousing the white supremacist “great replacement” conspiracy theory — elements of which Carlson has pushed on his weeknight show. The theory baselessly holds that a cabal of Jewish people and Democratic elites are plotting to “replace” white Americans with people of color through immigration policies, higher birth rates and other social transformations. The idea circulated on the far-right fringes before moving to the mainstream of conservative media."
