An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

Y'know that study that the DOJ deleted from their website? The one concluding that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism"?

Here it is. Just read the first paragraph:

There are 13 birds with "Least" in the common name and none with "Most".

This seems to be an oversight.

My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.

Unfortunate. That describes most movies, of course, so maybe we can't hold it against them.

Also, never trust a person who uses the term "hard science" or refers to another group of people as "another species".

This is stupid for a number of reasons, but could someone please tell of a time when science has ever been apolitical?

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s

An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

Society hasn't changed, debating doesn't work as a strategy for changing minds and never has. All those videos do is give a platform to fascists, allowing other fascists to make propaganda shorts of them "winning" a debate.
