A young woman bravely reported that she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven men at their fraternity. But instead of protecting her, Cornell University protected her abusers, letting them off with a slap on the wrist.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

Imagine trying to scare me “Sharia Law” while I live under a GOP supermajority trying to reinstate an abortion ban, while writing bills to put the 10 Commandments in public schools and ban books and free speech. I have nothing to fear, except the Christian nationalists in front of me.

Iceland is not in the EU, but it is a member of the Schengen area. It’s also a member of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is part of the Single Market, meaning it enjoys freedom of movement with the EU. Good to know that doesn’t impact their independence. Maybe we should try it, Nige.

Thanks for the kind words. I hear from others that many senior colleagues regard my position as “extreme” - though, curiously, seldom if ever directly to my face. Thankfully, I tend to get a much more constructive hearing from colleagues less invested in the establishment.
