My view continues to be that the US has in power a movement dedicated to ending democracy & replacing it with consolidated one-party authoritarian rule under the Republican banner. They are currently struggling to do that because of the US political system's complexity & their own incompetence.

The Constitution guarantees your right to follow, record, protest, and notify others about the agents and what you see. These are core First Amendment rights, and DHS has clearly ordered its agents to threaten and violate those rights. cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

The internet is now absolutely *jam packed* with AI slop, endless reams of videos and articles and images.
We achieved infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters and so I ask: where is Hamlet?
Perhaps art was more than letters and pixels after all. Who knew?

Some highlights from our Stephen Miller piece:
First, his grandmother has written an unpublished history of some of his ancestors' immigration to the US. We are publishing it online for the first time. They were attacked in terms similar to those he uses today.

Where I live, in the United States, people on the right wing often claim that they didn’t WANT to become fascist bigots - that they were FORCED to become fascist bigots by the failures of liberalism.
This is the same situation. Bigots want to say that their actions aren’t their fault. But they are.
