protest opsec discourse is so dumb because if you actually thought the government was going to hunt you down and arrest you (or worse) for protesting you should delete all your socila media and flee the country immediately because you can't win by protesting anymore at that point

the TLDR is that there’s an elaborate implicit economy where there are guys in rich social circles whose role is broadly understood to be supplying hot young (adult) women who are there for the money but are *never* explicitly sex workers. The women get to be around money and vice versa.

If you're response to people calling these "concentation camps" is that they are no different than prisons, that's exactly what makes them concentration camps. Prisons are for people who have received the procedural protections of criminal law and been sentenced, not civil detainees.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

hot take but it's not actually about the propaganda, it's about the performance of propaganda to make a display of loyalty to other fascist tech oligarchs. whether anyone is actually influenced by it is completely secondary
boy are Bezos and Ellison clumsy about their propaganda. they'd be much savvier to leave the coverage mostly intact and slowly introduce the right-wing poison

i'm sure this one is just a bunch of fake theofascist mumbo jumbo but the ones about transgender people being harmful to children is actually a fair and accurate representation of the landscape of pediatric endochrinology research
Heritage Foundation, Focus on the Family, FRC and a host of other groups just launched a broadside campaign against marriage equality, saying that Obergefell is, wait for it ... "harmful to children."

warsh being fed chair would destroy the federal reserve's reputation ngl
If Dems have a trifecta in 2029 I don’t think we’d get a huge fiscal package like we did in 2021 but Warsh being Fed Chair through May, 2030 would certainly change the monetary policy response to any fiscal stimulus.

Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.
