Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing
At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days
At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

This is why white Christian nationalism is so dangerous.
It emboldens people like this, and they indoctrinate children and create more white supremacists.
This will barely be covered by the mainstream media, and it deserves to be a much bigger story.

After all, Germany backed Israel’s assault on Gaza both militarily and legally. As Omer Bartov put it: Germany didn’t just support the Gaza genocide. It facilitated it."
For two years officials and media in Germany dismissed Gaza’s death toll as propaganda. Now the Max Planck Institute released estimates that point to the same patterns seen in past genocides. Latest on my Substack

Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.

Mill workers were hugely important in the push to get women the vote. Although wages were low they, wielded economic power and were well organised.
They often, unfairly, get overlooked in the popular narrative where the quest for the vote gets cast as a purely middle or upper class movement.
