"Fuentes is largely supported by donations from a small cadre of sympathizers: Just 10 accounts were responsible for giving him a total of about $77,000, while the top 500 accounts provided almost half of his superchat income — more than $400,000, the Post analysis found."

New: We found out how much money Nick Fuentes makes from "superchats": $900,000 since the start of Trump's second term. Here's the story of Kristine in Ohio, a food-truck operator who became his most frequent donor, despite not making much money herself: wapo.st/4mERkhv

So much going on that I missed this over the weekend. The Trump administration has fired two immigration judges who dismissed high-profile deportation cases against international students who had advocated for Palestinians. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

Ooooo it exists! I am so grateful to my friend @amaramarasingam.bsky.social he has been one of me mentors who I have learned so much from, for his endorsement.

Was happy to endorse my friend @philofwrite.bsky.social’s new book. Check it out 👇🏽👇🏽

"And the chief of staff looks at me, stunned, and says, ‘Wow, I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work. When I think about what USAID does in global health, I just assumed it was just, you know, abortions'.” abcnews.com/video/131975...

I've written before about how USAID was the first government agency killed by conspiracy theory. This confirms it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Indeed, and, unlike the United States gov't, the Iranian gov't understands that part of war is understanding their enemy. Trump making himself Jesus and starting a fight with the Pope presents a rather obvious opening, so the IRGC, being more rational actors than the Trump admin, are exploiting it.

I teach Islam to first year (most raised Christian) students and the fact that Jesus is in the Quran, is a Prophet in Islam, and has a key role in Islamic eschatology, is the part that blows their mind every time.

israel doesn't need an anti-zionist movement to delegitimize it. it does that itself, every day, through its actions against its neighbors.

Trump's war on Iran has reminded me of Putin's war on Ukraine in so many ways, not least of which is this one: a cadre of advisors being too scared to tell the President what they really think, only to be horrified when he unleashes what they should've stopped him from doing in the first place.

Been thinking a lot about how AI would impact conflict, but apparently I didn’t consider AI battle rap. This is very unlike me.

Reminds me of MLK's rebuke of the white moderate "who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice".

The Trump budget once again proposes to eliminate NOAA OAR, which brings you the CO₂ Keeling Curve. In this piece, I argued that the Keeling Curve is a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

If Trump could actually do this, he would do it every day on TV

It was…. massive. Looking at it front near the stage, the sea of people just kept on going. I was expecting big. I wasn’t expecting that tbh with you

The suspect planned to assassinate this pro-Palestinian advocate by firebombing her home. He is a member of a branch of the “Jewish Defense League,” a Zionist Jewish supremacist group designated in both the US and Israel as a terrorist organization. The JDL was founded by the late Meir Kahane.

NEW: On Monday a judge said videos of recent depositions from DOGE members can be published online once again. The ruling is something of an about face for Judge Colleen McMahon, who originally ordered plaintiffs in the DOGE-related lawsuit “claw back” the videos they had published to YouTube.
