Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Great episode. I really like the way @letsgomathias.bsky.social connects the dots between fascism abroad and at home. As mentioned in the conversation, too many other extremism researchers act as if Israel’s U.S.-backed fascism doesn’t even exist.

Author & Journalist @letsgomathias.bsky.social joined me to talk about the state of the far right in the US.. And what a wild ride it's been for someone who was covering 'extremism' that has now gone mainstream & is in the White House! open.spotify.com/episode/2f8x...

Hamas has agreed to disarm - but Israel's answer is yet to materialise Israel has killed over 1,100 Palestinians since October's 'ceasefire' began yet Hamas has agreed to disarm. You'd be right to be sceptical. www.thecanary.co/global/world...

AIPAC may have bought our election in Illinois, but we're not going to let that happen in Michigan. 5 days left to make them panic. Vote for Abdul on or before August 4th.

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

The Labour government has been absolute shite for free speech. No wonder people are fleeing to the Greens.

Maybe whenever someone says 'some cultures are better than others' journalists should ask them to clarify which cultures, and if white English men rioting every summer these past few years may reflect broader white English culture

Already, Israeli forces have shifted the yellow line marking where Palestinians are allowed to live again and again, pushing Palestinians closer to the sea, and claiming more and more of Gaza for eventual Israeli settlement.

Canadian politician Bill Oliver has gone viral after he appeared to accidentally read AI-generated editing instructions aloud, not once, but twice, during a speech to lawmakers in early June.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Every person this administration wrongly deported should be granted asylum and a path to citizenship. Won’t even begin to right wrongs like this. But it’s a place to start.

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · last wk.

People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.
