From the woman who has POTUS' ear. The "invasion of Spain" is actually good because it will accelerate widespread "animosity toward Islam". Why? Because "We need majority of the world to come to hate Islam for people to have the courage to save Western Civilization". Rank Islamophobia. This is MAGA.

Gross/predictable: "all share a similar theme: the fantasy of white male domination. They promote the aesthetic of being a white god or alpha, post about “the natural order” and the “biological truth” white supremacy, while encouraging followers to claim their “birthright” as the ruling species."
Daily reminder: this is the GOP. Where white nationalism is a feature, not a bug.
The Roberts Court today (& every day) reminding us that originalism is founded in one core commitment. Precedent doesn't matter. Neither does the plain text. Only what you imagine the “original intent” of the Constitution to be — which, of course, will always justify what you wanted to do all along.
Thanks to the journal for this book review: "Feola offers a crucial contribution to understanding the far-right mobilization of white supremacy and nostalgic nationalism...With extensive theoretical work and various sources, The Rage of Replacement is analytically rigorous and politically timely."
A prime case of far right language politics. Across Europe, they call it "remigration". Here, they push the "Free Movement Plan". The Trumpists wave signs of "mass deportation". All linguistic tools to sanitize an ugly reality: the forced displacement of ethnic "undesirables" for nationalist aims.
Middle East MonitorIsraeli political and security officials replaced the term “voluntary migration” with “Free Movement Plan” when referring to plans to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260629-isr...
Trump’s organization to transform/administer Gaza “is planning a sweeping grant of legal immunity for itself, according to a draft of the resolution….The draft language would also let the organization obtain public property in Gaza “free of charge”.”
OMFG. It contains "a children’s book on so-called reverse racism and... a document that defends the country’s founding on the basis of slavery."
It's amazing what you can do when you remember that schools have a primary responsibility to the children they teach and nurture -- not to the ed-tech industry or gen AI profit margins.
HypervisibleBut I was told it was inevitable.
A private equity billionaire with "unprecedented control over the Pentagon’s vast procurement network." Who has "shredded the old cumbersome rules of government weapons acquisition and seems to have turned the Pentagon into its own private equity powerhouse." Seems healthy.
