Yes that’s exactly right. Many of them believe this is an opportunity to get us “back on track” See Third Way Pod Save America They don’t think fighting fascism is the point They think resestablishjng a “sane” hierarchy is And they need the threat of fascism to do so

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

After Jan 6, the U.S. far right had to find a frame that could distract and shift blame from their election fraud lies. They settled on “censorship” — which made their lying villains into “free speech” heroes, and allowed them to target all of the people and orgs that tried to hold them to account.

The Trump model: ever greater wealth for the wealthiest 0.1%, poverty for most others. It's now clearly coming into shape. www.ft.com/content/4927...

Incriminating behavior in plain sight. “There is only one woman (Ghislaine Maxwell) in the Epstein files who Donald Trump wishes well… the woman who sexually abused children herself… who trafficked children with and for Jeffrey Epstein” — Lawrence O’Donnell Trump’s never wished the survivors well.

That schools named themselves and their mascots after the confederacy in the mid-1950s as a response to desegregation is the central premise of Rebel Spirit podcast. @akilahhughes.com and I even did a segment about this high school.

And as I wrote in my book, this period was also when there was a surge in school construction thanks to the baby boom.

My mother just sent me a text message apologizing for not sending me a Christmas tree during my 2010-2011 Afghanistan deployment (she sent me homemade cookies and other gifts) so I guess I can stop wondering where I get my tendency to dwell on minor missteps I made over a decade ago.

Fed. judge rules that New York's law prohibiting state authorities from sharing DMV vehicle and address information with federal immigration authorities is not preempted by federal law, nor does it violate the supremacy clause. Link is in this news report --> www.reuters.com/world/us-jud...

Missed this earlier & I just watched the video. This has to be one of the most horrific, hateful, evil, fucked up bullshit I have watched on 60 minutes. Recorded in Canada & was taken down. Send fucking pedophile Trump with Noem and Bondi there when charged‼️ www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

Someone asked me if the Epstein scandal would finally end Trump. I said exactly the same way Sandy Hook ended the school shooting epidemic.

Cutting support for ABA services without investing an equal amount into other therapies in a safe environment where autistic kids can stay while parents go to work is going to be an economic disaster for those families.

Isn’t atrocity tourism fun?

Perhaps worth noting that book's author: 1. Caused a stir in 2004 by insisting DHS -- Bush-Cheney DHS -- was covering up terrorists posing as musicians that she "uncovered" on a plane flight 2. Wrote an Area 51 book that accepts as fact the US govt has captured alien ships & bodies there

It’s not like Weiss pulled off a genius plan that would make you doubt she’s stupid. She signed her own name to a sloppy pretext and couldn’t even bureaucrat right by giving timely feedback.

this is just insane

The NDAA Trump just signed is full of language that tries to normalize/legalize all this, especially at the border

[email protected] - Bari Weiss is one of those corrosive elements, like Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller, that makes one wonder how many characters were sanitized from history to keep a narrative tidy.

Vet Voice Foundation has been key in advising courts about the damage these deployments have done to the Guard and military. We're heartened by this decision but won't rest until all Guardsmen get to return home to their families and communities.

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

Trump presents his complete rationalization for the invasion and occupation of Greenland. Greenlanders are citizens of the wealthiest nation on earth. They enjoy free health care and education, pensions and a comprehensive package of social benefits far in excess of anything Americans have.
