The Biggest Myth About Trump’s Base (And Why Many Believe It) The MAGA faithful aren’t deserting their leader.

Operation Midnight Hammer. Venezuela. Now Epic Fury. Again and again, stories claim that MAGA is mad with Trump for betraying America First principles. Again and again, polls show that nope, they're not. I wrote about this myth and why it won't die here (gift link):

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Dollar store Andy Ngo, who directly benefits from anti-antifa hype, kicking it off.

He's talking about an unnecessary war that will kill perhaps a million people in consequences.

This is the way.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

MULTITUDE Microfiction Contest Marie Vibbert's Multitude explores the concept that we aren't the only intelligent life in the universe, an idea which has long fascinated humanity. But if, in fact, aliens exist: what would they be l...

I just read 76 pages in one sitting. This book is EVERYTHING, omg. I’m learning so much! It uses science to honor myth and folklore. SO GOOD!

No one could've foreseen this.

This is exactly where I went. Have children not read Clan of the Cave Bear...

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

If you don’t like oil wars, the latest fascist version of the global US oil empire, or climate disasters stop funding them, and stop causing them. Starve the beast. Solar+Battery+EVs!
