They call DEI “discrimination” while pushing policies that eliminate inclusion. It’s nothing other than AUTHORITARIAN GASLIGHTING. They are hijacking the language of equality to wage war against equality, turning civil rights into a weapon for power.

The fact that diabolical coward Curtis Yarvin is now thinking of leaving the hellscape he contributed to creating has me absolutely gobsmacked.
Yarvin convinced a bunch of credulous tech billionaires that they needed to back an extreme, dumb, & wildly unpopular politics to “save western civilization.” We’re now getting that politics on steroids, and now he’s all “oh no, these policies are unpopular, must flee the country to save ourselves.”
mencius moldbug is thinking of fleeing the country because he thinks the trump administration's chaotic half-assing of dismantling liberal democracy is going to bite them all in the ass

This lawsuit is a very big deal!
The people who are sincerely in favor of freedom of expression will speak out now for the reporters.
🚨THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Chicago journalists are suing the Trump administration for using excessive force against reporters & protestors in violation of the 1A.
The press here is doing astounding work documenting how ICE is out of control. The violence they face in doing so is obscene.

The UN has declared it’s G*cide and called for all states “to fulfill their legal obligations under international law to end the G*cide and punish those responsible for it.”
It’s time for everyone who wasn’t able to acknowledge what it is to call it what it is.

Kash Patel said to Charlie Kirk on national television “I’ll see you in Valhalla.”
“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”

It’s not the Left. 85% of mass shooters are Right Wing, young, white men. But they will continue to ignore reality in order to force their agenda, and that agenda is control.

I haven’t liked Gavin Newsom for a long time, I don’t trust him, his funding, or how he has conducted a lot of his political career. But now that he’s fighting back and stepping up, I’ve listened to a lot more interviews with him, and he’s winning me over as someone who is fully meeting this moment.
