This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

It isn't a plan to end the war. It's a plan to let us regroup so we can invade again.

The plan to end the war in Ukraine doesn’t ensure peace—it ensures profits for Trump’s inner circle.

From a former WWE CEO to a right-wing podcaster, the folks Trump has tapped to lead the country have… questionable backgrounds.

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

Dark enlightenment & other crazy Thiel pet projects are unfolding. It's critical that people understand that the brownshirts hacking the entire USA infrastructure and dismantling it are his and Elon minions. Thiel sees himself as some sort of Saruman, while he fondles his Palantír.

What’s happening now is part of a plan to end democracy:

“It is clear that Thiel sees corporations as the governments of the future and capitalists such as himself as the kings, and it is also clear that this is a shockingly common view in Thiel’s cohort.”

Now, given the current DOJ's priorities, the prospect of public enforcement seems dim, which makes the prospect of private enforcement even more critical. Which is why they have labored so hard to get this case before this Court.
