Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

If you're not familiar with QAnon conspiracy dogwhistles, then you won't know that Stephen Miller just rattled off a bunch of them in a row, including "I am the storm" and "Light out of darkness." While these sound like dumb cliches on the surface, they're coded messages to Q cult adherents.

JD Vance wants to go after the Ford Foundation, eh? Interestingly, the Ford Foundation has long been in the crosshairs of the American far right for their supposed funding of "hateful, radical left, anti-white propaganda." Here's an example of that talk from the 1955 edition of The White Sentinel.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.
We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

A thread that needs to be read
As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough.

The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
After showing his guns emblazoned with racial slurs, far-right slogans, Minneapolis shooting suspect displayed a message "Hail Breivik. Hail Brenton."
Neo-Nazi Anders Breivik killed 77 in Norway in 2011. Brenton Tarrant killed 51 in shootings at 2 mosques in New Zealand in 2019.

Not even smart enough to somehow twist this as something Communists don't do. Because there's not a chance in hell he could define the difference between Communism, Socialism and Fascism - they're no different to him than "low IQ" and "failing".
Q: "You called Kamala Harris a communist. But the Biden-Harris administration never called for nationalizing a private company like you're doing to Intel...Is this the new way of industrial policy?"
Trump: "Ya. Sure it is. I wanna try to get as much as I can."

"Cockroaches" the exact literal term most used in Rwanda by Hutu ultranationalists against Tutsis in the lead up to when they killed hundreds of thousands of them in a matter of weeks. Also used by Begin to describe Palestinians, "drugged cockroaches in a bottle."
A reference to "cockroaches" is telling. They see Black citizens of DC, migrants, and the unhoused as pests in need of removal, never mind the preceding centuries of inequality, slavery, death and terror. Please stay vigilant and feel free to report anything you see to us or tag us in your post
