Greg has correctly articulated our theory of the case - and accurately laid out the one battleground on which Governors and other electeds can successfully fight the feds, other than the courts (and there is delicate strategy there as well that I’m not sure everyone fully appreciates.)

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

L'Ucraina ha lanciato un importante attacco con droni contro Ekaterinburg e la regione di Sverdlovsk.
È in corso l'evacuazione di emergenza dei dipendenti dello stabilimento di aviazione civile degli Urali, dello stabilimento di Kalinin e di altri grandi siti militari-industriali.

For several weeks now, I've been focusing much more on news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian hinterlands than on events on the frontline. Perhaps I can briefly explain why this is happening. Firstly, the AFU is effectively halting the long-announced Russian offensive,

Let there be no doubt:

Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of October 7th

The ground war didn't start until 20 days later

Any pro-Palestinian events that take place on October 7th are a celebration of a time when Israel was still finding bodies and trying to identify them from their teeth

Two years after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, let us pray for the return of all the remaining hostages, for all of the Israeli and Palestinian lives lost, and for a lasting end to the war.

MAGA Lite: What β€œBari Weiss Conservatism” Is, and Why It’s Dangerous The new CBS executive isn’t exactly MAGA. But her polite Trumpism will still help destroy America as we know it.

It’s easy to cast Trump as antidemocratic and hostile to the rule of law. It’s much harder to take on institutions and people such as Weiss who invoke ideas like the β€œfree press” while actually advancing a right-wing agenda.

That's why this kind of conservatism is so dangerous. trib.al/U9kVC5M

Please share this list of reliable sources about the protests in Georgia, where the majority of the population fights the brutal oppression by the government of "Russian Dream" - a party that follows the Russian playbook and uses the Russian threat to maintain authoritarian power.

Terror has no place in a civilized world; it can never lead towards positive change.

It must never be condoned, no matter the circumstances. Only fought or condemned.

As those who witness terrorist attacks daily, we stand with every victim of terror. Against those who inflict it.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem expected in Portland for ICE facility visit Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could be coming to Portland today.

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

Every European Minister of Defence should be asked the question:
"Given our country is not doing enough to defeat russia, what is your plan to defend us against the bombardment russia is currently unleashing on Ukraine once they are done there?"

So, uhm, what's the track record of countries where members of the governing regime start clamoring for a "cleansing" of the political opponent?

Always remember: No matter how much they escalate the rhetoric, it doesn't mean they'll be able to do it. But let's not pretend they aren't trying.

Europeans voting for extremes must understand this. They’ll start with ones you might not like: muslims, homosexuals etc.

But as Amen in the church even light destillations of fascism will continue with journalism, courts and eventually physically threaten any kind of opposition. Even you.
