No outside power, either Russian, Chinese, or otherwise, could dream of doing as much damage to the West as what’s being allowed/enabled from within, whether through short-sighted politicians, disconnected elites, or voters making choices without understanding the full weight of the consequences.

The Quiet Republic - Secession
They did not break it with tanks. They did not need to. They used pens. Laws. Procedures. Deadlines. They said it was temporary. They said it was just to restore order. They said it was for the people. The people nodded. They wanted quiet. The Constitution died in silence. It wasn’t murdered. It was smothered. By emergency clauses, by loyal judges, by late-night votes with no debate. By men in suits who said it would be fine. Continue reading →

Why Resistance Lives in the Living Room — And What Comes Next
In 2025, the strongest front against the Trump administration isn’t in city squares or union halls — it’s late‑night satire, South Park, Bluesky threads, YouTube monologues and shared memes. Street protests have surged, but for many immigrants and communities of color, public resistance carries dangerous risks: ICE raids, mass arrests, and legal persecution make community organizing particularly harrowing. Yet from the safety of home screens emerges a cultural resistance: a digital solidarity that folds in late‑night routines, political comedy, and online bonding. Continue reading →

Excellent recap on The Epstein File Fiasco. This isn’t some wild conspiracy — it’s a damning showcase of institutional failure and a blatant cover-up masquerading as justice."

The only way to support the future is to enable and encourage migration.
Migration to another country, especially one a fair distance away, isn’t undertaken by people who are truly destitute or who lack ambition. It requires resources, documents, connections. Having the will to leave, to seek out something new and leave everything and everyone you know behind, is a profound act of self-creation. Source Continue reading →

Two Parasites and a Corpse: Trump, Musk, and the Maggot Feud Inside America's Rotting Democracy
Published: June 6, 2025 “The parasite feeds until the host collapses. Then it moves on. But what if there’s nowhere left to go?” — Political autopsy notes, United States, 2025 Trump and Musk are not opposites. They are not enemies. They are co-feeders—two grotesque organisms chewing through the last soft tissues of American democracy. Their recent feud is not a political rupture. It’s a parasitic competition. A fight between rival factions to dominate what’s left of a rotting system. Continue reading →

Absolutely not surprised by Musk exit from US government role.
The Tax bill is just an excuse
Musk is just groking how foolish, naive and ignorant his whole approach was and cannot phantom the idea that he failed, so he’s using the Tax bill to exit.
More interesting take from @emptywheel.bsky.social
This may be an attempt to preserve the damage Elon did to government, up to and including the data consolidation that DOGE carried out.

Terms and Conditions Apply to Truth redefined by Algorithms
Muted by Design: How Algorithms Erase Outcry Between 2020 and 2025, we witnessed the troubling normalization of self-censorship by design. Not in the name of safety or sensitivity, but to appease opaque algorithmic systems—systems that suppress certain words not because they cause harm, but because they trigger discomfort, controversy, or legal risk. Survivors, activists, educators, and creators were pushed to distort language: rape became “r@pe,” sexual assault became “SA,” trafficking became “tr@ff1cking. Continue reading →

The group chats that changed America
Extract :
The political journalist Mark Halperin, who now runs 2WAY and has a show on Megyn Kelly’s network, said it was remarkable that “the left seems largely unaware that some of the smartest and most sophisticated Trump supporters in the nation from coast to coast are part of an overlapping set of text chains that allow their members to share links, intel, tactics, strategy, and ad hoc assignments. Also: clever and invigorating jokes. And they do this (not kidding) like 20 hours a day, including on weekends.” He called their influence “substantial.”

The Media Flood Strategy: How the Trump Administration Overwhelms Oversight
In the second term of the Trump elected regime, a deliberate strategy has emerged: inundate the media landscape with rapid, successive actions to outpace scrutiny and erode institutional checks. This approach not only overwhelms journalistic capacities but also pressures U.S. institutions to compromise their constitutional responsibilities. A Deluge of Deportations Central to this strategy is the imposition of stringent daily arrest quotas on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Each of ICE’s 25 field offices has been directed to execute at least 75 arrests daily, aiming for a nationwide total of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests per day. Continue reading →
