It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

There’s something doubly grating about the pious invocation of “Western civilization” by the sort of incurious dolt who wouldn’t know a Titian canvas, a Beethoven quartet, or a Socratic dialogue if whapped them upside the head.

The ultra corrupt Supreme Court isn't interested in upholding the Constitution. They do whatever Convicted Felon Donald Trump wants, including pushing White supremacy, because it's what they want too.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Something sure is unrecognisable here, but it’s not Europe.

But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence. Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation

This is how we all die.
We reject the disastrous "climate change" and "Net Zero" ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries.

“This should be the end of this case. If they continue, undeterred by a court ruling and a grand jury’s rejection of the charges, it will be a shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Grand jury declines to indict N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James, less than two weeks after the first case was dismissed
Federal officials failed to secure the new indictment against James, whom Trump has targeted, after a judge said the previous one was secured by an unlawfully appointed prosecutor.

A former USIP official said of Trump: “It’s pretty ironic that he put his name on an institution he destroyed.”

Taking over institutions and putting your name on it is another sign of authoritarianism.

JUST IN: Statement from Abbe Lowell, defense counsel for Letitia James, on Virginia grand jury’s refusal to re-indict the NY Attorney General on mortgage fraud charges:
"The grand jury's refusal to re-indict Attorney General James is a decisive rejection of a case that should never have existed in the first place. A federal court threw this case out after President Trump illegally installed a U.S. Attorney to file baseless charges against Attorney General James that career prosecutors refused to bring. This should be the end of this case. If they continue, undeterred by a court ruling and a grand jury's rejection of the charges, it will be a shocking assault on the rule of law and a devastating blow to the integrity of our justice system.

Was I imagining it, or did I hear the #GameOfThrones theme in the trailer music? Could have sworn I heard the strings play a few bars of it in the middle of the #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms trailer.

NGL, I got a little bit teary-eyed watching this trailer. From what I’ve seen so far, Peter Claffey *is* Ser Duncan the Tall stepped straight out of the novella, and Dexter Sol Ansell is adorable as Egg. Looking forward to their adventures! #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Way to stand up to... *checks notes* 61-year-old recreational players. Good work, USTA. 🙃
Valerie knew the doubles tournament she was playing in this past Sunday would be her last in the USTA women's league-at least for now. Valerie, 61, is a trans woman who registered as a St. Louis-area USTA member in 2019 shortly after she publicly transitioned, and described an overall positive experience. But on November 17th, the same regional leaders who had at first made her feel so welcome asked to meet with her privately to warn her about what was coming. Despite the fact that the new policy was so under the radar that even her team co-captains didn't know, Valerie informed them in mid-November that she would be stepping away as a result. In a phone call Wednesday, she called that conversation "quite emotional."
