A military-style operation is taking place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois, featuring snipers stationed on rooftops and armored vehicles on the streets. Protesters are reportedly being abducted and vanished, signaling authoritarian repression in this Chicago suburb.

It is pretty unequivocally true to say that the American punditocracy and intelligentsia vastly prefer the company and input of race scientists and Nazis to "woke" liberals. I don't think there's really any argument about that, it's extremely clear up and down the board.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Also, one more thing: if you're not LGBTQ, you don't get a say on who's welcome in our community. Asexual and aromantic people are sexual minorities. They're always welcome in our spaces. Our spaces are their spaces. Mind your own damn business and get a new hobby.
