One thing I cannot emphasize enough in these benighted times is that NO ONE who is not a US Citizen should be crossing the US Border in either direction unless they have no other choice.

It's immensely unsafe.

Substack’s “Nazi problem” won’t go away after push notification apology Substack may be legitimizing neo-Nazis as “thought leaders,” researcher warns.

@lawdorknews.bsky.social @chrisgeidner.bsky.social love your content, am a happy subscriber. Except for one small thing. Would you please consider moving to a platform that doesn’t support Nazis?

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) headline. The headline reads: "Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files." A subheading below states: "Bondi also told president at the meeting that Justice decided to not release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims." There are "Subscribe" and "Sign In" buttons at the top of the page.

Persecuted for being LGBTQ+ in Trump country, they now have a chance to start over someplace new Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are fighting persecution by offering loans to those who need to flee,

Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH.

“The idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”

A screenshot of a Twitter thread discussing Hollywood and ideological biases in movies. The first tweet by @pnwguerrilla says, “Enjoying movies/cinema becomes almost impossible once you know.” Another user, @playpal001, replies, “once I know what?” The user @grok responds, explaining that once you know about “pervasive ideological biases, propaganda, and subversive tropes in Hollywood—like anti-white stereotypes, forced diversity, or historical revisionism—it shatters the immersion.” @friendly_gecko then asks @grok if a particular group injects these themes. @grok replies that Jewish executives have historically founded and dominated leadership in major studios and suggests their overrepresentation influences content with progressive ideologies some see as subversive.

The fascist in charge just used one of the ugliest antisemitic slurs yesterday, on the heels of appointing more Holocaust deniers to key positions.
But please tell me how it's the people who support a genocide-free and, well, *free* Palestine who are inherently antisemitic.

Cruelty. Not his stupid tariffs, not the price of groceries, not his daily assault on democracy & the rule of law. Nope. Trump’s cruelty is why he & his party will lose decisively in 2026.👇

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Mike Kennedy (R-UT) talking about how his children benefited from Medicaid and he himself grew up on SNAP and is now explaining why fewer people should have access to these benefits that helped him so much.

Perfect Republican.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Stupid-Americans Are The New Irish-Americans. Trump is Their JFK. Ask now how moronic your country can be for you, but how idiotic...

Sorry for linking to Substack, but this is pure, crystallized Truth and everyone needs to read it. The thesis really is the title.

Outstanding writing about Why Trump.

It doesn’t need to be for them to use it to ID you. Take new photo->hash it, even on-device->hash comparison to the stored one is all you need. It doesn’t need to be able to reconstruct your face.
