Two things Nazis love, historically: 1. Poles 2. People with disabilities
When Kasubienski’s son started watching Fuentes in 2017, he remembers feeling like the streamer was a kindred spirit.
Living in Ohio on full-time disability, Ryan, now 36, spent so many hours at home immersed in the streamer’s show that he said he began thinking of Fuentes as a little brother. Where Ryan felt nervous, Fuentes seemed self-assured, and over time he began to believe the streamer was one of the only people being honest about the changes in the United States that everyone pretended they didn’t see.

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

So sad. Mark was the chronicler of the Presidency… if you wanted to know how many times GWB played golf, for example, or how many books Obama read aloud at the Easter Egg roll, you asked him. We never met but we had many exchanges on the Other Site and I’m glad he knew how much I valued his work.

I said this 7 months ago and was called an alarmist. History says elections won’t save us. They will end us. Blue states must declare war. “I researched every Democratic attempt to stop fascism. The success rate after fascists were elected was 0%.” ▶ Once they win elections, it’s already too …

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Scott Bessent is a clown. A total embarrassment. The importer of record pays the tariffs—not China. And those costs get passed down to you in the form of higher prices. You all get that, right? It’s not rocket science.

Personal Discretion Over the Treasury's Payments System Means the End of Democracy
If the Court and federal workers fail to stop Elon Musk, we are heading for authoritarianism.
