This article is a bit old, but I just had no understanding of this conflict between the far right TPUSA faction and the even farther right, nationalist, Christian new right "groypers." It's just insane and scary.
Charlie Kirk, his Culture War Tour and Groyper trolls
Charlie Kirk’s Culture War college tour was increasingly haunted by Groyper trolls that frame Charlie Kirk as a fake, 'anti-white' conservative. This article explains how.

I know that countless international academics are being arrested by ICE, but Ksenila’s story is heartbreaking and Dems need to sing it from the mountaintops: A unique and brilliant mind who will end up in a Russian gulag if deported while humanity looses a vital cancer researcher. It’s insanity.
New images could change cancer diagnostics. ICE detained Harvard scientist who analyzes them.
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Of course @gregsargent.bsky.social is right. Just as Trump will use tariff exemptions to extort private favors, he'll use deportation exemptions for same.
