Kyle Shideler, the government's "expert" witness in a case against Texas antifascist activists, said he provided language and research to support the indictment. He's a staffer at the deeply Islamophobic Center for Security Policy. theintercept.com/2026/03/09/p...
Here's an example of his work.
A reminder that studying fascism from a position of neutrality is not ethical and, perhaps paradoxically, will give you less accurate information than studying fascism from a standpoint of opposition
It's hard not to feel numb to how much white nationalism is being normalized right now. Needless to say, we have to keep fighting it
The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country
The @jta.org headline is simply wrong; please amend. JPPI itself acknowledges that it polls "connected" Jews, not Jews overall, meaning disproportionally more denominationally affiliated Jews and those who've lived in Israel, and less intermarried Jews. www.jta.org/2026/03/09/i...
Apologies, wrong link in the first post (there are two letters).

I suggest reading in full…it’s really something. The judge, by the way, is a Bush appointee and two-time Scalia clerk.

Maybe it is a fundamental difference in philosophy, but I do not believe one can 'win' without mercy.
This is an *excellent* opportunity for students interested in refugee/migration issues in political philosophy

There's a story going viral about how a U.S. commander told troops the Iran war is part of a religious battle to "cause Armageddon.”
It’s explosive. It’s terrifying.
It’s also based on a single unverified source.
I have questions. 👇

looking into the TPUSA endorsements for the SRP board and their pick for District 2 (Paul Rovey) has been on the board for over a decade and the guy is a straight up synagogue of satan, "Hitler was actually a Rothschild" poster like he should've lost this gig a while ago smfh
Not The Onion
Bishop Bootlicker Barron delivers classic anticommunist Catholic slop while failing to stand up for his people in Minnesota. His praise for Rubio's ethnonationalist rant in Munich plus his Jordan Peterson-level understanding of Marx gives away the game.

They found him. He died.

Decided to read Hegel instead of watch the State of the Union tonight, because I wanted something coherent and comprehensible.
I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.

Again, if the topic of discussion is the intersection of racism and ableism, in particular, anti-Black racism and Tourette syndrome with coprolalia, listen to people who have expertise and lived experience with both.♥️👍🏿
And they will say the same things that I and other Black folk have said.
journalist: Thanks for saying it is important to have other hobbies if you research the far-right. What are your hobbies?
me, drawing total blank: I go for walks and meet friends for coffee?
I feel like I need more exciting hobbies
“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.”
NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social
TO BE HUMAN IS TO BE AN END IN OURSELVES. WE ARE NOT MEANS TO AN END.

“If we give any quarter to antisemitism anywhere near our movements, we are opening ourselves up to the charges from Israel’s defenders,” said Ben Lorber, an author and researcher of antisemitism and white Christian nationalism. “It stands to really harm the movement.”
some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing
I just can’t stop thinking abt federal agents raiding the cells of incarcerated children to confiscate their drawings & letters. This is Nazi shit.
