A convicted criminal who has had endless trials wants to make it so he can imprison or kill anyone he wants without a trial.

having just spent two months researching & writing on this exact topic, i agree! it seems relatively under explored in both academic and journalistic writing but there’s a deep well there. i devoted 7 straight episodes of my show to it & could easily do a dozen more.

The lead of a local Active Club was previously identified as Ryan Drago, a former NSM nazi who was in prison for murdering a Latino teenager in 2006. Drago and his neo-Nazi gang have clear ties to Patriot Front and have marched alongside and organized events with PF repeatedly.

One key aspect of the immigration crackdown is that it’s seemingly based on lies. There wasn’t a “migrant crime wave,” Biden didn’t allow 20M undocumented into the country, etc. But has anybody published an accurate assessment of immigration under Biden? I found this: www.cato.org/commentary/b...

At the heart of most articles about AI and robots is a delusional utopianism built on something that doesn't get talked about very much: the proponents are obsessed with slave labor. That desire doesn't end with tech. They view people as disposable and infinitely exploitable.

Not a disaster waiting to happen, but a rolling wave of disasters, many of which have already happened.

Mass protests might serve as a national venting session for aggrieved Americans, but they don’t change Trump's behavior. What might is American workers standing together and showing him the power they have.
