FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

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

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

Yup. I've said before how there is no such thing as an "AI detector." All they do is check if a writing sample is similar to AI source training material, or AI human evaluators. Source material is from "authors, writers, and professors" Human eval is "Africans that speak English better than you"🤷🏿‍♂️

A Nigerian born author, Jerry Falade, had his $2.4M book deal pulled because he was accused of using AI. There is unavoidable optics of a Black man writing a brilliant novel that people assume must have been written by AI. However the broader issue is we can’t trust any writing isn’t AI generated.

It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

Another death in ICE custody: Prisciliano Trejo Ricano. He said this before he died:

INDY Week@indyweek.bsky.social · 6d ago

Prisciliano Trejo Ricano began feeling ill while detained at a Georgia detention center, where he had been for three weeks. He reported that he had not received medical attention after experiencing severe symptoms. He died on Wednesday, July 22.

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

Sen. Cramer endorses Trump making billions on crypto schemes while in office: "If we punished every POTUS who was successful at something & said they can't legislate, if they were a farmer like Jimmy Carter they can't sign a farm bill? There are lots of potential conflicts, but it's all about Trump"

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

Fascinating how many men who rape women are said to be secretly gay when they're finally charged for their crimes.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

a decade ago there was an entire movement dedicated to confronting the militarization of state power against its citizens Not only did you not listen... our political actors increased police budgets across the entire country Now military forces are killing White moms and nurses

It’s in this hot AF part of the summer, surrounded by wildfire smoke from thousands of miles away, unable to eat lettuce that I find myself thinking maybe we should’ve made some different decisions.

The news should be covering ICE like a serial killer on the loose

Grudgie the Whale@grudgie.bsky.social · 3w ago

I don’t think it’s good that ICE is on a murder spree

Are we not tired of being shocked that the right wing extremists who want to reify the sanctity of sexual difference have very particular ideas about women's roles in their social order

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social · 3w ago

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

I have seen a lot of bumper stickers in my day but I gotta admit this one is new to me

ICE and/or police murdered someone this morning in Biddeford, Maine. From the statements I’ve seen from local activists, I *think* the victim was a young Black man. You may already know Black immigrants are the largest non-white immigrant demo in Maine. A protest is already under way.

Witness says Biddeford shooting victim told police ‘I tried to stop’

One resident says he heard the shots and saw as agents pulled the man out of the vehicle.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

A reminder that the evidence presented for the supposed terrorism of the Prarieland 8 is opposition to ICE, having black non-descript clothing, having leftist literature, and in some cases simply being trans.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.
