Stephen Miller and fellow ethnonationalist bigots melt down after birthright citizenship ruling

From elsewhere — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 22:57:31 +0000

Rolling Stone reports: The Supreme Court affirmed on Tuesday that the right to citizenship that has been in place since the abolishment of slavery more than 150 years ago is still, in fact, a right. If you are born on American soil — regardless of your parentage, race, creed, or any other potentially differentiating factor — you are an American citizen. It’s one of the foundational principles of the post-Civil War republic, and Republicans despise it. In the aftermath of...

From elsewhere — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 22:39:16 +0000

Wired reports: Within an hour after a horrific knife attack took place in Belfast on Monday night, far-right UK activist Tommy Robinson had shared a video of the incident on X, a post that racked up 6 million views. Within hours Elon Musk, the owner of the platform, weighed in, agreeing with a post calling for “consequences” for politicians. By Tuesday morning, supercharged by X, the video was everywhere, and groups on Facebook were organizing protests across Northern Ireland and...

From elsewhere — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 01:04:11 +0000

Wired reports: On Saturday morning, as hundreds of far-right activists and lawmakers from across Europe gathered outside a conference center in the central Portuguese town of Figueira da Foz, a group of half a dozen men dressed in identical uniforms of khaki chinos, dark blue shirts, and sunglasses marched into the parking lot. On the lapels of their jackets, some wore the red and blue circular emblem of Patriot Front, the US white-supremacist group formed in the wake of the...

Musk and Trump’s fascism inspires young boys in Sweden

From elsewhere — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 23:25:58 +0000

The Observer reports: Driving through western Sweden, through pine forests dotted with elk warning signs, Lars Stiernelöf says he has noticed a worrying new trend among young boys. Since the inauguration of Donald Trump in January, after which the US president’s top adviser and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, gave two fascist-style salutes, there has been a rise in children using the Nazi salute in schools in Värmland. “They don’t do it as a type of homage to Hitler...

Africa’s ancient scripts counter European ideas of literacy

From elsewhere — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 02:19:37 +0000

D Vance Smith writes: Four different writing systems have been used in Algeria. Three are well known – Phoenician, Latin and Arabic – while one is both indigenous to Africa and survives only as a writing system. The language it represents is called Old Libyan or Numidian, simply because it was spoken in Numidia and Libya. Since it’s possible that it’s an ancestor of modern Berber languages – although even that’s not clear – the script is usually called Libyco-Berber....

It’s time to abandon the intellectual narcissism of cold war Western liberalism

From elsewhere — Sun, 01 Nov 2020 23:15:58 +0000

Pankaj Mishra writes: The late Tony Judt, born in 1948, once spoke of the “pretty crappy” generation he belonged to, which “grew up in the 1960s in Western Europe or in America, in a world of no hard choices, neither economic nor political.” In Judt’s view, too many of his intellectual peers moved from radical postures into the “all-consuming business of material accumulation and personal security” in the 1970s and 1980s as the postwar consensus in favor of the welfare...

White supremacy is ‘most lethal threat’ to the U.S., DHS draft assessment says

From elsewhere — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 00:07:28 +0000

CNN reports: White supremacists will remain the most “persistent and lethal threat” in the United States through 2021, according to Department of Homeland Security draft documents. The most recent draft report predicts an “elevated threat environment at least through” early next year, concluding that some US-based violent extremists have capitalized on increased social and political tensions in 2020. Although foreign terrorist organizations will continue to call for attacks on the US, the report says, they “probably will remain constrained in...

More than ever, Trump casts himself as the defender of white supremacy

From elsewhere — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 00:05:37 +0000

Peter Baker writes: After a summer when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets protesting racial injustice against Black Americans, President Trump has made it clear over the last few days that, in his view, the country’s real race problem is bias against white Americans. Just days after returning from Kenosha, Wis., where he staunchly backed law enforcement and did not mention the name of Jacob Blake, the Black man shot seven times in the back by the...

Michael Cohen: Trump held ‘low opinions of all Black folks’

From elsewhere — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 00:03:03 +0000

The New York Times reports: President Trump routinely referred to Black leaders of foreign nations with racist insults. He had an abiding admiration for President Vladimir V. Putin’s willingness to treat Russia like a personal business. And he was consumed with hatred for President Barack Obama. Those are the descriptions that Michael D. Cohen, a former personal lawyer and self-described fixer for Mr. Trump, lays out in his book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” which paints the president as a sordid, moblike...

From elsewhere — Sun, 06 Sep 2020 22:54:47 +0000

The Guardian reports: Los Angeles police officers have continued to kill civilians at alarming rates and under questionable circumstances in the last three months, despite a summer of unprecedented activism and growing political pressure from lawmakers. Most recently, two deputies with the Los Angeles sheriff’s department (LASD) fatally shot a bicyclist, 29-year-old Dijon Kizzee, who was fleeing after officers tried to stop him for an alleged “vehicle code” violation. The killing on Monday of yet another Black man in South...
