Twice in the passed week I have seen incredibly wealthy supposedly cultured and intelligent American men use the word Scotts to refer to people from the northern regions and isles of what is today called Britain.
I need these men to stop, or to be stopped by others, I need this to stop.

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Elon Musk calls himself a free speech absolutist, but he is actually its enemy.
He bans people who criticize him, and complies with censorship demands from dictators.
He is a classic hypocrite who uses free speech as a shield to amplify fascists while silencing his dissenters

It's also worth remembering that this narrative is Nazi in a way that actually pre-dates the Holocaust.
Hitler rose to power telling a story of a Germany shackled by guilt and shame (and of course the material concessions fallout) from WWI

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

Just to clarify -- People are being amused that he's putting "English" and "Irish" together, but this isn't that, really. It's standard white nationalist/nativist talk. "Scots-Irish" is not the same as IRISH Irish. It's Ulster folk, Protestants. In this context it means "white Southern".

This makes it sound like the ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis is as fake as the last time Homan claimed they were withdrawing a couple weeks ago. I won’t believe it until people on the ground there confirm that it has actually happened.
Homan on Minnesota: "There will be a small force, a security force, that will respond when our agents are out and get surrounded by agitators. They will remain for a short period of time to make sure the coordination, the agreements we have with local and state law enforcement stay in place."

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
