Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe -
choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!!

Two reasons: morality & pragmatism.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Weekend reading:

Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals

The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision.

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.
New in PN: Let's call Trump's anti-Somali hate for what it is

It's not "heated" or "divisive." It's Nazi stuff.

When confronted with evidence produced through three years of litigation, congressional investigation, and sworn testimony, the claims of a “Biden censorship-industrial complex” didn't just get debunked—they disintegrated.

This is where we are.

This man is a professor. Who has written a book. About antifascism. He’s just one of many in this situation; and his situation is just one amongst a sea of varied horrors that MAGA fascism is unleashing on society.

But this is where we are. Don’t look away.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.
