The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.
Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.
And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.
Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

My @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh has great post on politically motivated violence in US, its (generally low) incidence, and who does it (9/11 dominates stats; otherwise right-wing violence much more common than left-wing & other since 1975): www.alexnowrasteh.com/p/politicall...
Politically Motivated Violence is Rare in the United States
It’s a tragedy nonetheless

The Hague. The only answer here.
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’
Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

Hegseth's insistence that 'Department of War' fake-name-change is about 'warriors' and 'warfighters' is the dumbest s*** I think I have ever heard.
The guys that created the Department of Defense in 1947 - in NINETEEN FORTY-SEVEN - had done more warfighting than Trump's entire cabinet put together.

I can confidently say I am quite a bit more libertarian than Charles Murray, and yes, one's gender identity is a personal choice we should respect, and libertarian first principles demand that.
My friend @aaronrosspowell.com put it well. Some people become libertarians because they saw the state as the biggest barrier to equality by enforcing artificial hierarchies. Other people became "libertarians" because they thought the state was clamping down on "natural" hierarchies.
