Nicholas J. Fuentes @NickJFuentes X.com I'm being called a National Socialist because I want an immigration moratorium and more efficient public services. I just want the populist Right and Left to work together to put America First instead of the center Right and Left working together for the oligarchy. 8:09 AM • 11/21/25 • 1.7M Views

Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.

This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.

Flow chart from TX Tech memo showing that most class materials must be reviewed by chair, dean, and provost, and that all curricular material must be disclosed

TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

🚨 On Sunday, November 23, U.S. Border Patrol illegally entered the No More Deaths’ humanitarian aid station and arrested three people who were receiving aid, without a warrant.

she went to state legislators, TPUSA and conservative media outlets within a few hours of getting her grade, if you can’t identify the bad faith that can be seen from space, you need to get your eyes checked

“But the Trump administration cut the money, claiming it fell under DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion.”

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Texas Young Republicans are calling upon TX lawmakers to pass a law allowing Governor Abbott to put blue TX cities into receivership. They say the State Leadership Initiative (SLI)—co-founded by Nate Fischer of New Founding — suggested the idea. New Founding partner Nathan Halberstadt loves it. 1/

“Berg's point is that AI doesn't merely automate tasks — it automates the very processes through which people develop their skills.”

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.

I think about this tweet a lot

Targeting the free press is nothing new for this administration or for Trumpism but this feels like an elevation of hostiles

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

Does anyone have a good sample of a letter of introduction to provide a student to use foreign archives? The AHA claims to have one but it is a broken link. We need one in Spanish, Italian, and German. C'mon, help a girl out, people!

The diehards are starting to decide after much prayerful consideration with their beautiful brides that being in the minority next year sounds like a shit sandwich.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

The administration's foreign policy is to performatively murder the weak and defenseless to distract from the fact that it is abandoning U.S. strategic interests worldwide.

Sorry to quote just using your question as a jumping off point

They framed it this way because they are in bed and getting money from pro AI silicon valley types and while I won’t say everything they do is bad it does cast a shadow on ALL their work. The media (as it is) is making choices

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

“I was just following otters.”

This reminds me of the time I wrote a story for National Geographic on looted art and repatriation and the British Museum wouldn't give us an interview or permission to take any pictures in the building. Repository of memory, but only certain memory, and only if it flatters the British Museum.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said. A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

Denaturalization,forced statelessness and mass murder are all inextricably linked under fascism and we are seeing that constellation solidify across the west not just America.
America is one part of the massive reordering of the world the fascists and their wealthy friends are attempting to initiate

This is an admission that their goal is explicit ethnic cleansing of America and genocide, and it should be seen as a direct threat to millions of American lives and billions of lives worldwide.
