The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

In 2018, the Trump FBI designated the Proud Boys as an extremist organization. Per the Trump 2.0 FBI, they no longer have that designation. So what did they do to earn this exoneration? Why, they STORMED THE CAPITOL FOR TRUMP in a VIOLENT INSURRECTION.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

34/ Metamodernism is about having hope even when it’s hopeless—a paradox, but metamodernists learn to live this way. I believe America will collapse. Whereas a binary-/dialectics-oriented poststructuralist says, "Then you’re giving up," the metamodernist says, "No, I’m getting ready to *stand* up."

14/ Historically, activism works when—if it has a *massively* encompassing goal that’s *very* hard to achieve—it a) focuses only on that goal (not individual activists’ other ambitions) until the main goal is achieved, b) folks are willing to work daily alongside those they disagree with on a *lot*.

Trump is doing at his sleazy club in 2025 exactly what he did in the 1990s there and at the Plaza Hotel. The idea that a man who's never faced consequences for being a serial sexual predator and disgusting pimp would contemplate changing his stripes is counter to everything we know of human nature.

Anyone who read the sections of PROOF OF DEVILRY already released is in no way surprised by this. Trump has a decades-long history of pimpery—including with underage girls—and this just confirms that he hasn't changed one iota. It's depressing that people are surprised by this reporting from Zeteo.

I would take this even a bit further and say that the death cult Trump now leads is on a glide path to forever power and the end of American democracy. In other words, if nothing changes from how things are going right now, it is highly unlikely America will be *any* sort of democracy by early 2027.
