The Epstein Files Should Not Have Been Released This Way www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/o...

What do you call it when someone’s worldview, if we’d followed it all along, would have prevented their own existence?

Excellent analysis. What is so obvious to me and I hope to others as well is the lie of “Make America Great Again” as a pysop designed to manipulate good, honest people in believing that it’s perfectly normal to destroy America’s life blood of immigration which made us great in the first place.

He's a very sick man.

Chilling. "[miller’s] true ideological project is to unmake the world the 1965 act created when it ended the ethnic quota system and opened the country to more immigration from all over the world... "It is now apparently U.S. policy to favor whites in the doling out of refugee admissions...."

Miller is one frightening individual. The hypocrisy underlying his very existence in America through his lineage and his current actions MUST be laid bare!

America has few media organizations remaining that challenge power.

Now that Stephen Miller is calling for CBS to fire journalists who are trying to tell the truth about Trump's mass deportations, it's a good time to check out our deep reported dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda:

Of course

"Indeed, Miller’s grander aims are best understood as an effort to destroy the entire architecture of immigration and humanitarian resettlement put in place in the post–World War II era." Stephen Miller wants the USA to be a white ethno-state, full stop.

This is fscinating.

Anyone who evangelized the deeply racist French novel The Camp of the Saints is a deeply evil person. Though that is obvious.

Also! the 1924 bill was called the Johnson-Reed Act…. named for Klansman Albert Johnson in the House of Representatives!!! The Second Klan often tried to take credit for the bill and its racial quotas, and for good reason: a lot of its members were in office!

Well written article, about the dangers of far-right White supremacy and the ideology held by Miller. It’s indeed troubling, as the book Camp of the Saints put it.

"Miller is kidding himself if he thinks that demonizing and persecuting groups he doesn’t like won’t end with groups he does presumably like, including Jews, being demonized and persecuted." @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social weighs in on our piece: goodpoliticsbadpolitics.substack.com/p/a-trump-pu...

Interesting. "Polls show that Americans are reaffirming their very wide support for immigration as good for the country." A glimpse into the opposing view.

Under the immigration standards embraced by Stephen Miller, Stephen Miller and most of his family would have perished in the Holocaust.

A MUST-MUST READ, FOLKS! MUST! 🎈🤡

The current crop of fascists don’t just ignore the veil of ignorance, they fail to understand it even when it’s slapped in their faces

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

The irony and the stupidity….pulling the ladder up.

In our deep dive into Stephen Miller, we report that Miller praised Coolidge's 1924 restrictions even though an unpublished history of Miller's ancestry authored by his grandmother explicitly talked about how it closed the door on people like Miller's relatives: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

I thought the nation’s real anchor was the Constitution — that thing JD Vance took an oath to uphold and defend. Instead of defending it, he just erased the First Amendment.

Continue to believe JD Vance was radicalized by having kids who wanted to be their own human beings and not being able to convert his own wife to Christianity.

“We” is doing some intriguing lifting here.

Radical bearded cleric issues new fatwa -->

The damaging effect of this individual's obsession will be felt for a generation.

"But [...] Miller has outlined something more comprehensive and sinister – an elaborate worldview that has escaped notice in the mainstream media. It centers immigrants as a threat to "civilization" in terms that echo the rhetoric of those determined to exclude people like his ancestors."

Brave woman. I hope Miller's sense of familial obligation runs deeper than his festering resentments.

This is an interesting project. Note the through line here: Telling stories about how government is failing people to lay groundwork for imagining something different and better:

Quick note to pod listeners: We're taking a little break...we'll be back with a brand new episode on the morning of Monday, January 5th

Currently reading this article and Miller argues that the 1965 Immigration Act was responsible for the breakdown of "social trust" and "social cohesion" during the 60s, which is ABSURD. Conservatives attacked hippies(and the hipsters before them in the 50s) because of immigration?

He’s ethnically cleansing the US

The New Republic's Greg Sargent is a member of team #ResistanceGenealogy. This is a remarkable piece about how the person running the White House has completely turned his back on his family's history. A must read for all genealogists who know that immigrants made our country great. #genealogy

This piece seems important

They're doing a Great Replacement.

This is just gutter white nationalist agitprop from Stephen Miller. A good time to read our deep dive into Miller's ideological fanaticism (see below)

"Rootless cosmopolitan" Stephen Miller hates cosmopolitanism. Interesting. And western civilization? Stephen's ancestors did not come from western civilization. The people he panders desperately to would only ever see him as a rootless cosmopolitan (or worse euphemisms). Pathetic.

This Miller deep dive scared the shit out of me. He's evil.

"Cosmopolitanism" is a well-known antisemitic dog whistle, which is ironic but par for the MAGA course.

Plus, it will choke out a lot of workers we need in personal care for all ages.

"Miller has outlined something more comprehensive and sinister—an elaborate worldview that...centers immigrants as a threat to 'civilization' in terms that echo the rhetoric of those determined to exclude people like his ancestors."

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social review of @lkatfield.bsky.social's great new book on the intellectual roots of MAGA, with a focus on the sheer opportunism of MAGA intellectuals who opportunistically glommed on to Trump: www.commonwealmagazine.org/big-ideas-no...

Just about everyone who hitches themselves to this sociopath comes to regret it. "Allies privately acknowledged that years of intraparty fighting and a series of embarrassing disappointments at the hands of Mr. Trump had taken a toll." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

This is the best analysis I’ve heard, so far, of the weirdly ritualized culture of hyperbolic flattery that surrounds Trump, every second of the day.

The most important long read published this week. And there's an audio version for your walk. #fascistUSA #StephenMiller

No Republican wants to be the first toady to stop applauding the narcissistic Caligula, even as he grows increasingly unhinged.

I had fun joining Greg on his podcast!

Trump's evident physical and political decline are happening simultaneously, increasing Republicans' sense that there's life after Trump, fueling divisions in their coalition, @gregsargent.bsky.social and @moiradonegan.bsky.social (who up til now I knew only from her writing) deftly explain.
