The period surrounding Donald Trump's 2020 election loss and the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack can be seen as an analog to Hitler's failed attempted coup (the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923), with both events representing attempts to subvert democratic processes. Read on to go deeper. More coming soon.

🤔 If Trump lusts over his own daughter, why is it so hard to imagine he does it other underage girls? ✔️ The View, 2006: “If she weren’t my daughter I might be dating her” ✔️ Howard Stern Show: "She’s got the best body.” ✔️ Rolling Stone, 2015: "If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…”

The great Hannah Arendt, German-Jewish political theorist and refugee who fled Nazi Germany, warned that totalitarianism doesn’t just teach lies —it destroys the ability to think. Watch how MAGA attacks schools, media, and facts. It’s not about belief. It’s about breaking the capacity to form one.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

For this horribly evil group, EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION. It's my theory that Bannon is involved in all of this (google the suspicious way his wife died) and used the Qanon nonsense as a gaslighting play WAY before the truth would come out.

The responsible follow-on question in this whole meta debate about hate speech is: how do we protect both those in the crosshairs of both violent and hate speech, while also maintaining a wide berth for freedom of speech (though the term "freedom of speech" must be defined more precisely)

🚨 US Gov planning a site to let Europeans bypass EU blocks on hate speech, extremist propaganda & incitement to violence by routing traffic via the US. Let's be clear: saying the EU is “anti‑free speech” for curbing violent speech is absurd, geopolitical trolling --NOT protecting freedoms.

King Charles has issued a statement following his brother Andrew’s arrest

ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS
Thursday, 19th February 2026
A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING
I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.
Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.
Charles R.
