Effectively, they're saying SPLC lied to their donors, claiming they were dismantling hate groups, when in fact they were funding them.
The legal theory, as alleged (which may crumble) is pretty compelling. And all the while AL USAO has been picking through an anti-racist org w/grand jury secrecy.
The thing about the photo of the IDF soldier beheading a statue of Jesus in south Lebanon is that the Israeli military has an effectively near 0% conviction rate for its soldiers and so this will just keep happening over and over and over and over. This is simply what unlimited impunity breeds.
This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Ah so they just say the eugenics aloud now
The worst human beings in the country should not be running the country.
Given recruitment difficulties and losses from disease, George Washington literally mandated smallpox inoculation for all troops in 1777
remember when they were big mad about obamacare death panels

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump's at 32% in a poll from a highly-respected pollster. Some higher ed administrators and state legislators: let's do Trump's bidding even though the constituents for higher ed have rejected him, by creating right-wing indoctrination centers on campuses!
Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?
Hegseth sneered about the military's logistical experts, and now he's got ships stuck with sailors almost starving on them.
But he's still sure the dismissive attitude about the flu won't come back to bite him.
(2/X) the debate was between Camille Paglia and Naomi Wolf. Also both Trumpers now.
An enormous percentage of the self-promoting gasbags of 90s political/"culutural" tv became Trumpers.
There's a reason why things are so fucked up now.
Amusingly, one amusing side effect of female nurses being imported to New Guinea in bulk to treat malarial infections was that they were extremely good at getting starry-eyed GIs to actually take their atebrin. Or at least, better at it than their actual commanding officers were.
In the New Guinea campaign (which is all but forgotten today in favor of Guadalcanal but dwarfed it by an order of magnitude) entire units were completely wiped out by malaria. Half of all Japanese soldiers sent there were killed by malaria alone.
"Spanish Flu" says hi.
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
What a week to be giving a lecture at Fort Ticonderoga on the Canadian campaign during the American Revolution, which was doomed by an outbreak of smallpox and mixed messaging on whether not soldiers should inoculate.
Has the Starmer government given a formal reason for why it has not yet either published the UKG response to the ICJ ruling from July 2024 or banned the import of settler goods and services from occupied Palestine
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Is it good when your agency has an internal memo titled "General Malfeasance by USAID and its Office of Acquisition and Assistance; and Non-Compliance with Laws, Court Orders, and USAID Regulations and Polices since January 24, 2025"
Washington can only pay attention to a scandal or two at a time, which means in the Trump age there are all sorts of should-be-big-deal scandals that don’t get the oxygen or media focus that they should.
I'll bet you've missed at least three of these: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-trump...
For those keeping track the Israeli foreign ministry is now in a public fight with the POLISH Foreign Minister because
1) He condemned the IDF soldier who desecrated a statue of Jesus
and
2) Accurately noted in the context of lack of discipline that IDF soldiers have even shot Israeli hostages.
