"The Groyper Army consists of "alt-right, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist activists" who hold virulently antisemitic, racist, and homophobic views, often cloaked in rhetoric about traditional values and family."
What is a 'groyper? What to know about Nick Fuentes' alt-right movement
Fuentes' band of extremist followers take their name from the underbelly of internet meme culture.

This is what you’d expect in a dystopian film set in the near future. Shitty cyber-esque graphics, insanely dark fucking policy, unbelievably Bratz-ass Homeland Security secretary, maybe put some little flying cars in the background.

As an editor, I would side-eye "let's screen every deviant kid for the brainwash-resistant mutation" as a plot device in a dystopian YA novel for being too tropey
I feel like it’s being overlooked that a policy based on the idea that kids are autistic, not trans, is essentially saying that autistic kids don’t know themselves enough to consent to healthcare. This is making a loophole that will make autistic kids exempt from Gillick competence. It’s dystopian.
Remember all that time I spent on Twitter banging on about how “gender critical” fascists keep talking about autism because they wanted the ability to deny autistic people, as well as trans people, bodily autonomy. Well, thanks to the widely discredited Cass Review, oh fuck, we’re heading there.

Incidentally a certain Nazi doctor tried to divide autistics into those who deserved to live and those who didn't, too. They used to name some of us after him.

"don't worry, we're going to ⛽ you only *after* working you into burnout, not before!"
Apparently RFK is trying to walk back his bullshit comments by saying he doesn't mean autistics like *me* are bad and awful and need to be irradicated; no, he just wants to get rid of the "low functioning" autistics and let me just say FUCK THAT

democrats are finally learning that they should do brave actions that are direct opposition to trump because it’s morally right and voters will always support it
Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful.
Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

Why Neo-Nazis Are Obsessed With the Occult
The Nazis themselves were murder nerds. Now their successors are LARPing as wizards of racial superiority as they commit very real atrocities—as seen in the recent parent killing in Wisconsin.

Trump is fucking bribing El Salvador to hide his mistake.
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.
“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”
