One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

	According to a person with knowledge of the matter, the discrepancy arose from attempts by OpenAI’s own investors to produce a direct comparison with Anthropic’s annualised revenues. The pair calculate the figure in different ways, with Anthropic including the revenue from sales via cloud partners such as AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not.

Such a good thread both for letting you know what's going on in Paris and for showing standard police tactics. Telling protesters to disperse while blocking all the exits, singling people out with the intent to harm, and using tools that we know cause serious bodily harm? That's the cop playbook.

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.
In the latest court filing, ICE officials did not deny any of his claims, and appeared to confirm at least one of them, saying the charter flight's manifest—a printed receipt given to pilots listing all passengers and crew on a flight—
"served as the travel document."

Totally, totally, kids cut off their parents because of "ordinary conflict." Hey, unrelatedly, here's an email I got from my father 27 years after the last time I saw him.
Dear Evil One -
    Just a Happy Halloween Wish! I hope you took the kids out Trick or Treating and they had a great time!
    Tomorrow is All Saints Day and Deb and I will be going to Mass at our local church. It struck me on this Halloween Night that the evil of witches and goblins and such is rooted in the very real evil of Satan. Hate and pain are the hallmarks of evil... the hallmarks of Satan. With all the evil and hate you have demonstrated with me, along with all the pain you have caused, it struck me that just as Deb and I will attend Catholic Mas tomorrow... will you be going to a Black Mass to worship Satan?
    It was just a question that came up as we pulled "candy duty" with all the Trick or Treaters. 
    Well, will you be attending a Black Mass?
 
Love,
 
Dad
