I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Glad it’s being said but also shouldn’t of taken this long for it to be said
Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.
It's 233 pages.

Yeah I don’t care enough to really understand the ins and outs of this story but especially bc RFK is a quack eugenicist whose is and will cause mountains of unnecessary suffering
the nuzzi story is fun and all but at the center of it is the elevation of a man who has dedicated his life to making children catch preventable diseases to a position where he can enact harm at enormous scale
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Judge Jeffrey Cummings tonight has denied a bid for a stay pending appeal of an order that aimed to release as many as 615 people arrested by ICE.
He notes that 442 people actually stand to benefit. 57 have been deemed a safety risk, 75 have been deported and 33 have otherwise been released.

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

Every Christian is their own little Kierkegaard
the idea that christians are christianity's biggest obstacle is pretty common. every christian thinks that if all christians were more like them, all of christianity's problems would go away. (see also: leftism). Webbon just has a 4chan meme-brained take on that ethos.
Is this guy doing a bit? The first time i saw Nick Fuentes speaking, i swore he had to be doing some kind or performance art trolling bit where he’d eventually be like “look at all the crazy shit i got RWers to support,” bc he just came across as so forced, like he was acting and doing it poorly.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
