Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states
The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

Christopher Mathias on the administration's racist and white nationalist rhetoric: DHS, on New Year's Eve, posted the word re-migration. I saw the word arrive on America's shores about ten years ago, and it was in the private chats of Nazi groups. Now it's on the White House's official account.

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.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Most national identities in Europe aren’t much older than the international organizations that comprised the Europe that exists now. Indeed many European identities were created BY these international consensus. It’s weird to say that poke Belgian identity is immutable and changing it is a tragedy.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Democrats are fucking stupid for not pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of Republicans weaponizing antisemitism against their enemies (which is harmful to the Jewish community) while being a bunch of flat out antisemitic monsters.
White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Ironically the Trump foreign policy is doing exactly this by weakening the “global north” hegemony.
3. The conspiracy: "The final destination is a world in which whites have been stripped of political power and resources, which are then redistributed to non-whites using both “legal” and “democratic” processes... its speed and scale will dramatically increase as white political power diminishes."

A thread on Jeremy Carl’s book, which is basically an argument for white power, a concept with a, shall we say, problematic genealogy.
Yesterday, the Trump nominee for a high-level State position (Jeremy Carl) went in front of Congress. Some might know that he wrote a book-length expression of white grievance politics ("Unprotected Class"). I finally took the book off my shelf, so you can see exactly what the regime is promoting. 🧵

A newly unsealed FBI interview shows an entire Deutsche Bank staff team internally tried to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, after seeing wires to young women. One compliance officer says she was later pushed out and fired after raising the issue. Management kept the accounts open.
