The DOJ directed its prosecutors to investigate state and local officials who don’t comply with ICE directives in order to potentially bring criminal charges. “There is no such crime as failing to help ICE do its job,” said a constitutional law scholar. boltsmag.org/new-yor...

If the SAVE Act is signed into law, active duty service members and married women would not be able to vote because the verbiage of the bill does not accept name change forms, marriage licenses, military IDs, or even RealIDs (which everyone in Louisiana had to get). Tribal IDs wouldnt count either

This argument would hold water if Bannon were in any way ingratiated with the present administration. In actuality it is because their base of neo-Zionists and Kahanists actively collaborate with nazis against the left

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

I mean fascists subsist by speaking in terms that allow listeners to disregard elements of their propaganda that they wouldn't like because they cannot conceive of it being part of a politician's platform

Every time I’m confronted with Freud’s model of developmental stages I am baffled by how anyone could ever take it seriously, even 100 years ago. It so obviously nonsense.

Person who never attends a protest they didn't see advertised on TV: Where are all the protestors now?

If anyone says “where are the student protestors right now” tell them high schools students in Eagle Rock staged a massive walkout for the third week in a row to protest.

The funniest part about this post is, no he can't. He has literally no idea what goes on behind the scenes of radical left organizing and it shows in his "reporting"

Back in 2014 Steve Bannon was promoting the works of self-described “super-fascist” Julius Evola, so a hand gesture by him at CPAC doesn’t really provide much new information. pesaagora.com/columns/spir...

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

I think the only thing I would refer to as "extremism" is ecoextremism because it is an incoherent hodge podge of political philosophies with no ultimate goal apart from the violent means and the terror it causes

The one thing that I will concede to accelerationists is that making ineffective symbolic protest illegal makes already criminalized forms of direct action relatively more attractive (but no less difficult to succeed with).
