Despite successful Ukrainian drone strikes, it’s unlikely either Vladimir Putin’s regime or the Russia-Ukraine war will end any time soon.

Wie ich kürzlich in der "WELT" lesen musste, sind nicht die gewaltigen Rassist:innen in Belfast Schuld an den pogromartigen Ausschreitungen, sondern so Leute wie Icke, mit ihrem Anti-Rassismus. Danke Lauren Stokes und @michellelkahn.bsky.social, dass ich zu diesem wichtigen Buch betragen durfte.

Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g. Film: 1873 Colfax massacre Film: first female pilots flying for U.S. military in WWII Film: “Untold Story of Jewish Women Slave Labor in the Holocaust"

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

This, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote. They are preparing to steal your vote, and you have to take action now to stop them.

Excellent article on the Great Replacement Theory and the concept of “remigration” in American and European far-right and mainstream politics 👇

Global Project Against Hate and Extremism@globalextremism.bsky.social · 7mo ago

“Remigration,” a concept born in neo-Nazi ideology and tied to the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, has shifted to mainstream politics—appearing in Trump rhetoric, referenced State Department planning, and echoed by DHS. Read more:
