We don’t spend enough time discussing how the entire MAGA movement is kept afloat by the constant threats of stochastic terrorism orchestrated by the president of the United States.

“I’m 84 years old. Threats against my life expectancy are kind of hollow. I don’t have much time anyway. I’m more concerned that our democracy is at risk because of the trends against the rule of law.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

The reason that mainstream (social) media owners bow to the far right is because they make owners pay when they don't comply. Most mainstream actors either simply accept far-right (enabling) media or criticize them online, thereby boosting their interactions and thus revenue.

this looks like a good list of justice and investigation-oriented books.
I've been blown away by the generosity shown to my book this year, and wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the books that meant the most to me in 2025—along with a few I'm especially excited to see out in the world in the new year.

The first amendment is being twisted by the stolen Supreme Court into an instrument of oppression and censorship, the same way they're twisting the Civil Rights Act into an instrument of Jim Crow Apartheid and bigotry. Useless for defending free speech but somehow mandates destroying schools.
The U.S. Supreme Court in a free speech case on Monday opted not to hear an appeal by a group of residents of a rural Texas county of a judicial decision allowing local officials to remove 17 books that these officials deemed objectionable from public libraries.
