The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Air power alone doesn’t win wars. Symbolic strikes don’t create strategy. And if you engage in war, you either commit to an achievable outcome or you shouldn’t start it in the first place. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

This is our justice system now: guilt or innocence are determined based on political criteria, no investigation needed. DOJ pursues a former FBI Director, or Chair of the Federal Reserve on trumped up charges, but refuses to investigate a killer.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I would suggest that people go back and read: "They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945". Nazis come across as VERY normal in conversations where their world view is not challenged. Once you touch on Jews or Hitler, though... Yikes. And also, it sounds so familiar and relevant.
