A story headlined, Trump builds case for deploying National Guard to Chicago, Portland The president said he would pursue designating antifa a "foreign terrorist organization" and called for Democratic officials in Chicago to be jailed.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday looked to bolster his public case for deploying the National Guard to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, cities where he claims Democrat politicians have failed to protect journalists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from people whom he sees as left-wing domestic terrorists. Trump said during a televised meeting at the White House that he would pursue designating antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a label that would allow for key financial and legal penalties because foreign entities are not protected by the First Amendment. Proponents of antifa — a political protest movement composed of unaffiliated groups — militantly oppose fascism, right-wing ideologies and are often anti-capitalist or anti-state. Trump also repeated a call he had made earlier in the day for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, to be jailed, accusing them without evidence of “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city. His statements and other remarks given by top aides during a 2½-hour event laid out a legal and moral case for the administration’s push to send National Guard troops into U.S. cities. Designated foreign terrorist groups can face financial sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department. The Justice Department can prosecute supporters under enhanced charges of providing “material support” to a terrorist group.

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

That’s my thinking- the guys listed in the post all have asterisks in my thinking, although Suarez has been more consistent than the rest of the pack. My response had the twitchy triggered reaction to rubenstein’s nickel and diming approach to free agents built in. We got filthy spoiled with Burnes

For every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return The net cost of the BIA pilot went from €105m to under €72m due to tax generated and savings on social welfare payments

It also finds that recipients’ arts-related income increased by over €500 per month on average, while their income from non-arts work decreased by around €280. Dependence on social protection declined, with recipients receiving €100 less per month on average, and 38 percentage points less likely to receive Jobseeker’s payments.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

Time to move the goalposts farther right so Butker's kick will be considered down the middle.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Google is allowing the State of Israel to “sponsor” top search results for the Sumud Flotilla with false and absurd accusations they are “harboring terror.”

Tehran Tadhg: They're manufacturing consent to murder us. I can't be sure Western media won't give it to them.

Shocked that a wealthy white man who has nothing to worry about is unconcerned. Just shocked, I say.

lol

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

The Harmonica Chronicles • Follow .•• X 1d • p Tears on Stage: Bob Dylan Pauses Mid-Song After Learning of Charlie Kirk's Passing It was meant to be just another night on tour — a full arena, the crowd hanging on every lyric — until Bob Dylan suddenly stopped mid-song. He stepped back from the mic, his eyes shining under the stage lights. The band went completely silent. "They just told me.." Dylan's voice trembled. "Charlie Kirk has passed." For a long, heavy moment, no one moved. Then Dylan whispered, "This one's for him," and began playing a raw, stripped-down version of Blowin' in the Wind. Fans were overcome with emotion as the song became a quiet prayer. What Dylan said after the final chord - his last words to the audience - left the world in stunned silence. F.u.ll s.t.o.ry be.lo.w

Gabriele D’Annunzio when young – a moustachioed boy with curly hair, smartly dressed, looking off to the right, and not for the last time

Today, it’s the 106th anniversary of poet, fascist, and cocaine and sex addict Gabriele D’Annunzio marching into the city of Fiume (now in Croatia), declaring it Italian, and establishing a regime renowned for yoga, cocaine, venereal disease, organised crime, and inspiring Mussolini

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.
