A bill to disinter a serial killer from a military cemetery, psyche, it's now an omnibus appropriations bill
S 1071
fdt.beehiiv.com
It's the last week of scheduled Congressional business and the fascist bits are kicking off tonight with a cloture vote in the Senate for S 1071. Initially a 1-page bill to disinter a serial killer from a military cemetery, it's now morphed into a Frankenstein with a very fascist NDAA included.

IMO, Gerald LK Smith is a figure who it was behoove us to know far more about than most Americans do. During his lifetime he was widely regarded as a fringe kook, but he had a mailing list of ~3 million people. He mastered the art of fascist American messaging.

In 1946 a Wisconsin Town Invited a Fascist to Deliver the Keynote Address at their Centennial Celebration
Few people in Viroqua, Wisconsin WANTED Gerald LK Smith, the head of the America First Party, to speak, but when they ALLOWED it, they fanned the flickering embers of the American Fascist Tradition

I hate that I have to say this once again, but you need to prepare for a world in which Nick Fuentes is the new Charlie Kirk. Fuentes is horrific & he is incredibly good at playing the media. This is another escalation in a year of escalations & derisively mocking it cannot be a serious option.

Rogan: “He could probably win in a few years. Listen, he couldn’t have existed before, right? Ten, twenty years ago, couldn’t have existed. Now, super popular. What’s twenty years from now look like?”

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

This purported "suicide" video of Jeffrey Epstein in his prison cell is in the latest batch of Epstein files. But it's a fake 3D render posted to YouTube in 2020.
It's in the files because a Florida conspiracy theorist sent an email to federal investigators in March 2021 asking if it was real.

Rad then maybe don't run for re-election to prove you mean it @repaprildelaney.bsky.social, especially considering there have been 9 other fascist bills you voted for but don't feel the need to 'disavow.'

Speedily running towards an expansion of mass incarceration.
"porch piracy" is theft. it's illegal in every single state. in states with expansive statutes, this could even be burglary. there is no evidence that local police or prosecutors are unable to handle this. and existing federal law on interstate transportation of stolen property can handle big cases.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

Companies cannot cover the costs and will continue to dump those costs on individuals.
