No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

"Some House Democrats have a new worry as concerns about lawmakers’ safety continue: That they won’t be able to rely on local law enforcement for help if they need it." -- welcome to the world everyone else lives in

Matt Henry 🥄 @matthenry.fyi · 18d

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

Democrats' New Fear: They Can’t Rely on Local Law Enforcement for Protection

to be fair, the press corps just sits there and takes it, so hard to blame the right for treating them this way. whats the downside?

National Guard from TEXAS, untrained in domestic law enforcement, are now patrolling Illinois (and apparently cracking heads), based on the wholly fictitious premise of a rebellion in Chicago. Looking forward to discussing on #deadlinewhitehouse with @nicolewallace.bsky.social at 5 PM ET.

Reminder: Never travel out of the country with your main cell phone (or without backing it up and then doing a factory reset) or laptop.

CBP agents are effectively Redcoats and they WILL delight in reminding you that they owe you no rights.

I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs for 90 minutes coming
back from a @RoyalCa ribbean cruise today in Florida.
After they rifled through all my belongings, read my personal joumal, and
confiscated rny phone and computer, I had to explain to them that the
aFreeStateNH is a non-violent, peaceful libertarian movernent that
builds community, culture and political change.
We were invited to New Hampshire in the early 2000s bythe Govemor
of the state. We reject violence as a path to creating change.
In detail, I had to explain the nature of the Defend the Guard rnovernent
and assure them that I was not part of a violent extremist group seeking
to raise a militia for insurrection against the government.
At one point during my detention, I asked for clarification on what rights I
had here as a US. citizen and was told that they did not næd a warrant
for anything in my possession, including all my elæ•tronic devices.
They eventually let me gu
Truth be told, I am shaken up and in shock right now.

Reminder to @CNN about why this is a humiliating self-own by them.

1) Prez *does* have some legal power to change geog name, as used in federal documents. Thus Gulf of Mexico-->USA!

2) Prez has *zero* legal power to create, abolish, or rename a fed dept. Requires act of Congress.

STOP NOW CNN
