Stephen Miller is one of the most powerful figures in the Trump regime. When he says, "we have to dismantle radical left organizations," he means any organization that stands in the way of fascist tyranny.
This is precisely how the German Nazis used the Reichstag Fire in 1933 to crush freedom.

The whole right-wing ecosystem is a disgusting human centipede that keeps feeding itself on ever-more-toxic bullshit and somehow progressives are to blame. Leave us out of it! It's a closed system!

Wow! Listen to this list of acts of political violence. It’s not even complete, but sobering AF.
Now, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in front of a crowd, and the video is all over social media. This needs to stop.

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability

people on the right don’t tend to wait for any information about the motivations of the shooter before blaming the left. But Kirk had enemies on the right too; some of them surely live in Utah. And as with any shooting, the shooter’s motivations may not map onto any coherent politics at all.

As an Iranian American, it feels like I need to help explain something:
A friend recently expressed confusion as to why those in the Iranian diaspora (liked myself), who hate the regime, would be opposed to the attacks on Iran.
I’ll try to explain my thoughts/feelings.

Trump’s halting of data collection could have effects that last far beyond his time in office.
Even if a future administration seeks to resurrect some of the curtailed efforts, the 2025-29 hiatus will make trends harder to identify and understand.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

I’ve seen rumors reported that Trump will dissolve USAID as an independent agency by executive order and possibly roll it into State.

The thread below is about federal datasets that have been taken down. Some websites say they are down for “maintenance” and others are not explained.
