My dream reverse Avatar spinoff is making an alien White Male Director Billionaire race who all buy yachts then die on them because of orca attacks

This tension has been ongoing for decades now within the GOP and anyone who studies the post WW2 American far right can tell you they have been attempting entryism into every group for decades and especially conservatives spaces.

Trump’s coalition involves a lot of groups that were taboo in mainstream GOP world, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t on the wings or trying to vie for modicums of power. Especially on the state and local level. There are numerous examples of White Nationalists controlling or running GOP committees

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse? You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

The level of everyday resistance to this regime has been exemplary and constant

The thing about the Fuhrer principle is you need a fuhrer who is capable of organizational unification as well as spectacular maneuver. But Trump only ever had the latter and he hasn't had it since 2022 at the absolute most recent

They actually coulda had it all. Nazis 2. Jan 19, 2025 shit looked bad. The damage RFK has done to the world with relatively less damage to his reputation shows the way it couldve But they chose a 4chan Nazi to run PR, let King Leer do tariffs and have shown no capacity of internal organization

Federal agents made a series of arrests last week that revealed targeted surveillance of a leftist organization based in California. Through an informant, at least one undercover agent, and online and physical surveillance the FBI tracked the group before intervening in what it calls a conspiracy.

The fact that overt (as opposed to dog whistle) antisemitism was at least partially taboo on the US right post-WWII, compared to, say, racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia, which were always entirely acceptable, is precisely why antisemitism is how the young right is proving how transgressive it is.

Don't forget Gaza now, for it is now under the rubble. Gaza now wants you to keep your eyes on it. Gaza loves you, so love her.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said the Israeli military “will never leave Gaza”, announcing plans to establish a “civilian-military army unit” to replace illegal Israeli settlements dismantled in 2005.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

BREAKING: Newly released Epstein documents accuse Donald Trump of participating in a sexual assault with Jeffrey Epstein involving a young girl. This is no longer rumor circulating online. It’s written into the files.

The survey is open to non-members (I am not one) and to readers (who here is not &c.) so I encourage you to share your feelings on the matter. Don't assume that everyone already understands that AI is bad or why! I mean, people *should*, but you could say that about a lot of things.

The original cache of DataSet 8 (with the incorrectly redacted files) has been added to @ddosecrets.com

Although fascist activist Bari Weiss is leading the charge as chief MAGA censor at CBS News, the Ellisons also installed a SECOND Trump mouthpiece there. It's a fully fascist propaganda outlet now, CBS News is gone. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Things that conservative students have said to me at the uni of Oklahoma Hitler was misunderstood/his economic genius downplayed. We should be using data from Nazi medical experiments. ‘Reverse racism’ is worse than racism. Enslaved people were ‘well taken care of’ This has been building for so long

also interesting that the administration thinks it has a say in CBS News personnel matters. perhaps they've been given an indication that they do.

“Write every day.“ Not everyone can write every day. This is privileged and ableist. It also makes people feel like failures when they don’t.

The regime is incompetent AND has made terrifyingly major in-roads, exploiting 1) Constitutional flaws, 2) institutional hard right entrenchment, 3) capitalist elite complicity, 4) opposition party ineffectualism, and 5) a favorable (dis)info environment

That is A LOT working in their favor, they are coasting along on those favorable conditions, and at the same time you can only sail so far on a favorable external environment. It's easy to break things but much harder to build them.

What’s happening with American media, American education, and America’s approach to places like Greenland & Honduras harmonizes with the “network state” movement (backed by Thiel, Lonsdale, Andreessen, etc), which calls for the construction of “parallel institutions” and “parallel societies”. 1/

CBS and Bari Weiss rendered powerless by an army of posters

TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment. The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

The network began a game of whack-a-mole with a segment that newly hired editor-in-chief Bari Weiss didn’t want to air.

So everyone's watching the 60 Minutes that was supposed to be banned and everyone who knows how PDFs work can unredact the Epstein files, it's like the Christmas spirit has irony poisoning this year

New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to. "The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen." @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

Going to make a vegan version of traditional panettone for Qapaq Raymi. 🧿 Do I really have time for a two day baking project? No. But if the world is going to insist on being so horrible, I might as well try something absurd but beautiful.

For those too squeamish/triggered to watch or who find it easier to engage with text:

Since mid-October, Israel has carried out an assassination campaign in Gaza targeting resistance leaders. Contacts within the resistance say Israel is trying to lure them back into direct confrontation to avoid fulfilling its ceasefire obligations. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra...

Closes by discussing the Trump admin's current deals to do third-country deportations to other countries with well documented histories of torturing prisoners. Again, new

HRW student interns talking about how they confirmed. Including an influencer video with the warden talking about the torture. Now interviewing an expert explaining why all of these details mean that the detainees stories are believable and should be trusted. Again, VERY new

Spent 6 months in detention waiting on a decision on his asylum application until he was deported to CECOT The detail that they sent out an asylum seeker who presented himself to immigration correctly also seems new. Again, did we know this? Seems like a weird thing for a terrorist to do

Just gonna point out that the people who are resigning from Heritage Foundation NOW were fine with Project 2025. Quitting because of a right-wing slapfight about exactly how much Nazism is acceptable is not the same as quitting because you fixed your moral compass.

everyone who shared a link to the spiked 60 minutes segment proved that another way is possible.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I uploaded that version to Rumble, because freedom. The title, thumbnail and description are faked to disguise the upload lol. rumble.com/v73cwku-we-a...

Good news, someone ripped my video and put it on the Internet Archive. If you're having trouble downloading from Filemail, here it is: archive.org/details/60mi...

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts. It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long. www.filemail.com/d/wkcdttnacp...

One of the few places to watch it online that that hasn't already been scrubbed, get it while you can.

It's the least important element to this, but I find it fascinating on an aesthetic level too. Americans are watching a bootleg broadcast that someone in Canada recorded off their TV. And people are copying it to various platforms (however imperfect visually) to get it out as widely as possible.

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:

I grew up in Argentina and spent my teens under the military dictatorship that disappeared people. What Akiva posted here is much, much worse. I had to stop reading about four posts in.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
