The USA is demanding from >40 states an "Enhanced Border Security Partnership" #EBSP. It will grant their migrant hunters direct access to police databases in these - mostly European - countries. This is unprecedented.

Jede Anekdote über "Sushi Verbot" an irgendeiner amerikanischen Uni war hierzulande 8000 Leitartikel und unzählige Bücher wert; dass nun Medien zensiert, Wissenschaftlerinnen gefeuert und bedroht werden, setzt auch nicht annähernd die gleiche Energie frei.

thomas chatterton williams, whose main literary output is three memoirs of declining quality, and who has written the same essay ad nauseam for 10 years, nonetheless has a sinecure at the atlantic, a teaching job at an elite college, and a nice handful of prestigious fellowships

it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

I am absolutely working on the premise that I have three years to roll my dice. Tops.
Anything more will be a bonus and an absolute surprise.
My next publications are being written with this in mind.
In all sincerity I often sit here and wonder how better people could have given warnings about the rise of global fascism, and I struggle to think what else could have been tried. There were subtle warnings and loud warnings, obnoxious warnings and gentle warnings, the full range. I just don't know.
I keep thinking about this. I was talking to a journalist friend about Project 2025, and he was saying how so much of it is being executed with frightening efficiency. And it is all the more frustrating because everyone with the power to stop it was so thoroughly and repeatedly warned.

Radikaler, offen verschwörungstheoretischer Antisemitismus wird in der amerikanischen Rechten gemainstreamt und ich seh null Berichterstattung darüber in deutschen Medien. Dafür die hundertste Neuauflage einer Postkolonialismusdiskussion.
One hot topic of debate at TPUSA this weekend has been the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. If you’re like most normal Americans, you’ve probably never heard of this event. If you are or have ever been a neo-Nazi, then this is an event you know A WHOLE LOT about.
