Trump’s response to the voters’ rebuke of his cruel policies has been to double down on the cruelty and the invective.

A lot was done to get the landslide win for New Jersey Governor race. One that really has not been mentioned enough is the grassroots organizing that has been going on everyday since Nov. 2024.
We wiped the tears from our faces and kept on going, adding more people as we kept going.

This administration makes the United States look vulnerable. Americans under the spell of Trump’s charisma might imagine that strength is being projected. Not so. To prospective terrorists we look erratic and weak.

There isn’t really a gap between Fuentes and MAGA. It’s like the Klan and the White Citizen’s Councils. They are part of the same white supremacist movement and largely disagree over tactics.

The gap between the white-supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes and the rest of the right is narrower than it has ever been, @alibreland.bsky.social argues.
