1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban! It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare! Subscribe to support my journalism. You'll want to read this one.

Yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the My Lai massacre. I don't think there has been a time where Hugh Thompson Jnr's behaviour, and his actions that day, have been more relevant to US history than they are right now.

Today is International Day Against Police Brutality, and as a reminder: It's not just "a few bad apples." Police violence is a systemic problem in the US, and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations.

Don’t worry there was nothing nefarious going on, we have a very good explanation. Our concentration camps are just overcrowded and infested with disease.

The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history. Archive is here: web.archive.org/web/20250304... Page was here: www.army.mil/asianpacific... Disgusting.

Did you hear that the much trumpeted mission to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay has completely failed and ended? Nah...they don't want you to know they burned over $16M for 290 people. But they got the pictures! Really. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I gave a speech at the Central European University in Budapest in summer 2019, just before they had to relocate to Vienna due to being legally hounded out of Hungary by the Viktor Orbán government. The process they described for how a govt destroys an independent university looked a lot like this.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

This is absolutely unhinged, pro-censorship framing. An anonymous site makes an unsupported allegation that gets a scholar censored and sanctioned before there is even an investigation, and the reporter evinces no curiosity about the identity of the accusers or why Yale folded immediately. Amazing.

So to recap: it’s illegal to protest genocide. It’s illegal to leave a protest against genocide. It’s illegal to be near a protest against genocide. It’s illegal to appear to support Palestinian right to life. It’s illegal to go to college. It’s illegal to be.

The point is being made clear: no criminal activity is required for them to deport you. You merely have to be engaging in speech this administration disapproves of to be made a target for deportation or rendition. This is secret police taking people in the night. This is an American Gestapo.
