Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

“The country’s response to the worst terror attack in our history was to launch a global war of hysteria that consisted of rage-bombing two countries, destabilizing an entire region, and seeding a police state that has now been fully weaponized by an authoritarian regime against its own citizens.”

John C. Calhoun wasn't a conservative; he was a radical. Stephen Miller isn't a conservative; he's a radical. "Tradition" isn't a real thing that once existed and we can go back to, or something worth conserving, but an imaginary place that they'll destroy the current world to create.

It’s so easy to turn people, even people on the left, against feminism via cases like this one. They smeared Amber Heard as a domestic abuser when she was a victim. They’re smearing Lindsay Clancy as an evil woman who wanted to kill her kids, and it’s working. Advocates, too. There’s no nuance.

We’ve seen this before. The fact that it’s happening at a moment where Trump is deeply unpopular is a way for the new right to slowly build up support for whatever comes next. Just like how Depp v Heard arrived just before Trump began campaigning for office again, conservatives seized on it and won.

Even if people aren’t going to jump onboard the far-right extremism train right away, they become more conditioned to the idea that feminists are crazy and these radical bigots are right on this issue, so maybe they’re right in other ways, too. After all, feminists support killing kids, right?

This is exactly how the right creates popular support for taking away women’s rights. They position anyone with empathy for Clancy as the reason why women shouldn’t vote, serve on juries, have autonomy, or even exist in public. And they use this as propaganda to make those positions seem reasonable.

Women’s boyfriends and husbands are using this case as a way to degrade and threaten them—stories are popping up all over Reddit. It’s becoming an antifeminist litmus test, much like believing Amber Heard was. Believing that Clancy had postpartum psychosis will get you smeared and harassed.

There are undeniable strains of Amber Heard and Gamergate to this. Women creators who are speaking out in support of feminism and to advocate for postpartum healthcare are being targeted with an outpouring of extremely violent misogynistic rhetoric. They’re channeling support to end women’s rights.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

Imagine if the research we do on little kids about their autism we did on cops about their copism Why are cops like this? Is there a cure? What causes copism in the womb? Can cops learn to love? What can society do to support the families of cops better? Should we put cops in group homes? Many Qs!

“I’m a whore,” Johnson was known to proclaim, and from his curation of the first show on modernism at the Museum of Modern Art in 1932 to his willingness to let Donald Trump “Make Philip Johnson Great Again” (after the architect’s falling out with the partners that launched his second coming as a postmodernist), Johnson has proved to be American architecture and design’s most storied strumpet. He played whatever role he wished without much consequence.

A gossip but also an intellectual, it is easy to picture Johnson among today’s Elon Musks or Kanye Wests, a man of power fueled on provocation, publicity, and greasy alliances with often hollow reasoning and confusing motivations. Would he quote this and retweet it?  Absolutely.

Most sensational is Johnson’s interest in the Nazis, beginning in the early 1930s with an excitable viewing of a Hitler Youth rally in Berlin, continuing with an essay titled Architecture of the Third Reich, and the design of a grandstand for a noted anti-Semitic Catholic Priest.

A friend found this clipping in some old files. Haven't seen this before. Mind blown.
Color political cartoon by Danny Hellman from the New York Press dated October 6-12, 1999. In it, Donald Trump and his then wife Marla Maples being shown a model of the White House with many added stories and a shiny gold T on the top, with Taj Mahal towers on the side and flags flying with a T. It is labeled "Proposed White House Renovation." A ghoulish Philip Johnson says, "Granted, It's in violation of several of Washington D.C.'s landmark and zoning codes. But of course as president of the United States..." Trump, licking his lips, says, "It's tremendous, Philip, when do I move in?" The caption beneath is Spectacularly unqualified egomaniac Donald Trump contemplates a White House run"

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...
As economic pressures gut local newsrooms across the country, white nationalist figures see an untapped opening: stepping into media deserts where there are few journalists left to sound the alarm.

“Local media has been dying all over America, which means that there’s essentially no real way to hold local governments accountable—and they can do whatever they want,” Kevin DeAnna told an invitation-only gathering of approximately 50 white nationalists in Rome.

Breaking into a broad smile, he excitedly added: “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.”
