Mentre la broligarchy umanoimmune si compiace di aver venduto alla junta trumpista perfino i campi di concentramento nazisti off-shore, spero che queste immagini di ostentata barbarie possano tormentare ogni giorno un intero popolo.

Reminder that the people who founded Alpha Schools have zero training or expertise in education--they do not care about anything but profit.

![History and founders
Alpha School originally branched off Acton Academy, a franchise of microschools.[8] Alpha School was founded by MacKenzie Price and her husband Andrew Price. MacKenzie Price graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in psychology.[9] Before founding Alpha School for her own children in 2014 and establishing its original campus in 2016, Price worked for a mortgage lender company, retiring from that career in 2018.[10][11] In 2025, Alpha graduated its first class of seniors with 11 of those first 12 graduates moving on to a four-year university.[12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7a4j47j42ezdr3au7pxdlzjt/bafkreih4stceuhpo24aqj4uyhkspze2cquztndnaz4q24uafdafzo76vma@jpeg)

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
For the last couple of years much of the media has had the most incredible unwillingness to learn literally anything about JD Vance. Never seen anything like it. Active resistance to learning anything about his ideas.

This entire attack line is so bizarre. It's not a phrase Mamdani uses, it's just something random people chanted at a protest.
All evidence indicates that the pro-Palestinian movement is not substantially motivated by antisemitism, it is motivated by moral revulsion at mass killing.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.
How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?
It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.
Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda.
