Have we come up with a name for the policy of transferring immigrants to places they have zero connection to, don’t speak the language, and are often active war zones?

I’d vote for “concentration flights.”

And I feel like this should be put into conversation because just who the promise of protection was targeted towards and the targets of “transgression” through race science etc is very salient to why they held an affinity for the right.

They’re concerned about their career consequences for coming out against the rampant misogyny aimed towards them now, after directly working to have thousands of women pushed from the workforce. Those women already affected, their targets, are never in the frame of these discussions.

NEW: The FAA once said that pieces of space debris “pose a significant risk,” but the Trump administration has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to remove rocket parts from orbit within 25 years of launch.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

if gender is so innate why does it need deputized citizens to meticulously enforce it?

A dramatic image with bold text about Idaho House Committee's passage of a social transition ban, set against a grayscale domed ceiling background. Transcribed Text: BREAKING Idaho House Committee Passes Extreme Social Transition Ban HB 822 is alarming government overreach that would allow Idaho politicians to decide how youth dress and act.

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

I don’t know, if I spent all my time online claiming that a group of people were so terrifying and dangerous that they should be excluded from public life and any space I am in, I wouldn’t spend money to willingly go to a concert with up to 10,000 of them

I hate that a real live human being had this experience, but it's utterly hilarious and breaking news that esteemed institution Chili's has a "morality clause."

Please stick to being the "everywhere else had an hour wait" choice of suburban shoppers.

So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.

One of the things I think people should grapple with is the easy description of “Peak Woke” as haughty moralism, only to then describe the “race science” of the right as a secret thrill. Feels like the “woke” people knew about the race science, but even in these mea culpas, it can’t be said.

This Is Not What Winning Looks Like Everyone in this third decade of the 21st century is 12 years old, as you may have heard, and everyone on the right has a radically childish interpretation of basic rights, how a society functions, and their place in that society. This was never clearer than in the hours after Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022 as part of a plutocratic plot to dismantle pro-democracy media outlets in the US. Musk bought the platform under the bad faith guise of promoting free speech and ending the left-wing censorship campaign that exists at the sordid center of the right-wing imagination. > **Become a****Bad Faith Times supporter****today and get access to the BFT****discord community****, where we talk politics, movies, music, and other stuff. You can also****leave a tip****if you see fit.** The chuds on Twitter knew exactly what Musk really meant though. It's why, within a few minutes of the news that Musk had bought the nerve center of American politics, the chuds began testing whether the speech was indeed free with a new boss in charge. Their test? Posting racist and homophobic slurs and seeing if their Twitter accounts would be suspended. That was their definition of winning, of beating the libs, of Total Victory: Freely posting vile insults based on a human being's immutable traits. That's all it was about. Because at heart they are all 12 years old and stupid as shit. It's the loser's idea of victory, and you see it reflected in the way the Trump regime's official accounts post to the X platform, a place of unbridled racism and hatred and violence. The chinless, loveless 4chan boys who run these official regime accounts are posting overtly fascist memes both to promote the regime's half-assed measures to decimate the gains of the 20th century and to upset liberals who value fairness and equality and yes, democracy. They do this – they post like this – because they think it's what winning looks like. In their blackened hearts, these guys truly believe triggering the libs online is what you do when you've achieved victory. There's nothing beyond that. The U.S. Education Department, which recently had its re-segregation efforts slapped down by a federal judge, recently posted a shitty photo of an all-white classroom saying the Pledge of Allegiance. The image appears to be from before the landmark _Brown v. Board_ Supreme Court ruling, a massive loss for the American right. Nothing about this post is subtle. It turns the subtext of Make America Great Again into pure text. Whereas MAGA in its early days could get away with subtle nods to racism and xenophobia, a decade of fascist calcification in the hearts and minds of young men who hate themselves has created a political culture in which it is acceptable – even encouraged – to wish for the days before Black and brown people in the US had political rights. The Leading Democracy Hater Thinks Democracy Will WinCurtis Yarvin says American fascists “cannot even imagine what winning looks like.”Bad Faith TimesDenny Carter Regime officials and the pathetic little boys running their socials have shed the bad faith they used to use to talk about civil rights in the US. It's all explicit now, in your fucking face: We want a country in which only white people have basic rights. We want apartheid. Here's a meme if you don't understand. Choke on that, libs. Posts like the one above are disgusting and infuriating. I get that. The temerity to post racist dreck on official government accounts makes my pores open. I feel the anger harden into hatred, and that hatred churns out the Dark Thoughts that do nothing to advance the great cause of anti-fascism. The Dark Thoughts do nothing to reject the doomerism the fascists want you to feel. Consider this lib triggered, I suppose. Then I remember that the immature antagonizing that defines modern fascist movements is not winning. This is not just the opinion of an elder millennial lib either – far from it. Curtis Yarvin, a leading American monarchist and close friend of JD Vance, warned against this very conception of fascist victory in the first year of this second Trump term. Absurdly fearing future Democratic Party concentration camps for his white children, Yarvin mocked key regime officials – folks like Stephen Miller and Pam Bondi – and their hangers-on for fooling themselves into believing they had won the Final Battle, that the 2024 election marked the end of history and the last raspy gasps of American democracy. Yarvin (accurately) said the 21st century American fascist movement "cannot even imagine what winning looks like." > This is literal. You literally can’t picture it. You can picture winning on this, winning on that, winning on the other thing. But winning overall? You can’t picture it, because you can’t handle the truth. Try anyway—then put yourself in that headspace, and look back at the things the Trump administration is trying to do today. Unfortunately, I rather expect you’ll laugh." Monarchy Is Not On The MenuAnti-democracy forces know they will lose. For now, they’re coping.Bad Faith TimesDenny Carter Yarvin and others who salivate at the prospect of the end of American self governance know what fascist victory looks like. When they see the blackpilled kids posting their cutsie little fashy memes to the federal government's social media accounts, they laugh because they know this is all the movement ever wanted: To trigger the libs. If I can indulge your worst nightmares for a moment: An actual fascist victory would include the end of the United States judiciary and the abolition of Congress. It would include thousands and thousands of regime opponents being kidnapped and hauled to secret prisons. There would be dozens of high-profile assassinations opposition parties. All elections would be indefinitely suspended. There would be, in short, an armed destruction of every American institution, total chaos, complete obliteration. This is what Yarvin wants, and it's what he won't get. He knows as much. > The reward for Stephen Miller and his ilk is also on earth. They look tough. They’re doing something. That they are not even doing 0.01% of what it would take to solve the problem—that, at much more risk to themselves, the most they could probably do is 0.05%—matters not. They can milk it as far as it goes. They, too, will sell books. I’m sure they understand this and are doing all they can! Yet this does not change the facts. Only a born loser would see the above memes – and the other shit that makes you feel and sound crazy – as the spoils of the victor. They're having fun with their little posts and their childlike antagonizing of Americans who want what's best for their country. That's fine. I hope they have fun while they can. Maybe they even know that the emptiness of their cause has been made plain for all to see. And maybe they don't care. Shitposting was all they ever wanted, just as fascists on Twitter only wanted to torment their perceived enemies with harsh words. I don't love saying this but Curtis Yarvin was right. Call it a lack of imagination, a shortage of ambition, a laziness that has always animated anti-democracy forces. These people don't know what winning looks like. For that I'm grateful. _Follow Denny Carter on_ _Bluesky at @dennycarter.bsky.social_ _._

The Trump regime's online posting reveals the emptiness of its cause

hey what if we made the entire government and the entire economy out of corruption

nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

The reason I bring this up is because Democrats folded on that DHS bill last October. Clearly they have been briefed on this same information. Which makes me wonder why Dems ever fund it at all and why they allow Rs to shape the message. CBP is committing the crimes they pin on Dem legislators.

I've been watching that Insider series on crime, and so many of the people they interview about smuggling say that the only reason they're successful is because CBP is the most corrupt agency in America. These videos go back many years. Which indicates that our government has always known this.

I think it's worth pointing out almost every time he said "No new wars' he followed up with "because we will destroy our enemies quickly" or something similar about acting with lethal celerity. No one ever cared about that part tho!

This is Andrew Davis, who Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The judiciary committee already advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote.

Now he just awaits final confirmation by the full Senate, timing TBD.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.
