As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

I hope this is just a weird ticket glitch, but it's concerning considering the reason that Dr Bray and his family are relocating to Europe. See: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah like maybe those FB groups Americans Move to France, Portugal or whatever aren't such a good idea.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

I literally wrote earlier today that ICE and CBP are "a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Northwestern students blocked from enrollment after refusing controversial antisemitism training Students say mandatory training video is biased in favor of Israel and could inflame campus tensions over Gaza

"Students objecting to the video say it equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. At one point the narrator compares critics of Israel to former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke, and uses a controversial definition of antisemitism."

the weirdest part about trumps fascist regime is they only seem bothered by people pointing out that’s what it is. i’m just baffled they haven’t just embraced it with a full endorsement already

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

The gaping hole in the James Comey indictment The DOJ’s case is authoritarian β€” and shockingly sloppy.

You should read the actual Comey indictment. It is shockingly weak β€”Β in a manner that makes the true authoritarian intent even more obvious www.vox.com/politics/462...

Kimmel was one high profile example of job termination directly related to comments made in the wake of Kirk's death. But there were reports of scores of regular people across the country fired for the same reason, such as this university art professor. In this case 1st amendment rights prevailed. πŸ’ͺ

YouTube video by Random TV and News Archives Jack paar returns to the Tonight Show [partial Higher quality footage] (March 7, 1960)

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago:

Important to remember that H1B visa holders have their whole life in the US. The home they rent or own is here. Their family. Their kids go to school here. Being locked out of the US is also in many cases rendering them homeless and away from their family, with no obvious path to return

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air β€˜Indefinitely’ The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say β€œwe’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
