In 2017 I wrote a long piece exploring the ramifications of Donald Trump's meeting with William S. Lind, who helped inspire neo-Nazi terrorist Anders Breivik as well as al Qaeda's 2001 terrorist attacks (he suggests), and publicized the far right's favorite new conspiracy theory

William S. Lind is the far-right strategist who crafted the new unifying narrative for the Christian right, white supremacist, neo-Nazis, Tea Partiers, militia people... Lind's "cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory is gradually pulling them closer together. 4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/tru

I encourage all resisters, pro-democracy warriors, pro-Ukraine, anti-racist, anti-bigotry folks to join Spoutible. It’s absolutely refreshing to be on a platform with no trolls, bots and MAGA idiots.

Over 7% of adults living in the US have reported having long covid (symptoms lasting 3 months or more.) That's at least 18 million people.

Doctors are very concerned about long Covid and what we’re going to see in 3/4/5 years in those who have it.

Yup. Such state coercion was always in the plan, since they conceived it in the 80s.

I can't recommend this essay highly enough, all the more because, although it's coming from someone characteristically pessimistic, it finds hope in the gathering wave of Bidenomics, which the author sees as an antidote to the rising threat of American fascism.

Judicial Watch and The Federalist Society need to be charged for insurrection. They advocate fraud, lies, and illegal attacks on the government. They tried to illegally overthrow Congress to have donald continue their Republican kleptocracy.

So now we know who’s been handing out those AR-15 pins republicans have been wearing on the House floor. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R - NRA), who said the January 6th attack on the Capitol was a “normal tourist visit.” 🤦‍♂️ The GOP is a terrorist organization. thedailybeast.com/andrew-clyde-r

Arizona bill, SB1698, would ban "dressing in clothes other than your assigned gender" while "singing, dancing, and monologuing" in public. 15 year jail sentences and sex offender registry. I sing, dance, and monologue to my kid all the time. This would criminalize me.

Let's talk about the Chinese spy balloon that's somewhere over the Northern Continental US now. There's a lot of speculation by folks (see Fox and Friends) who have zero experience with this. So, let your friendly neighborhood defense analyst have a crack at it. 1/n twitter.com/axios/status/1…

We need to send a National Guard helicopter to lower Tom Cruise onto the giant Chinese spy balloon so he can poke a little hole that will gradually let the Helium out.

Since "Chinese Spy Balloon" is trending: In 1945, the crew of USS New York spotted a sphere that they thought might be a Japanese balloon weapon. The captain ordered it shot down but none of the guns could score a hit. Finally, a navigator realized they were attacking Venus.

Maybe it's b/c Elon fired so many Twitter engineers (who might have known what's going on?) but whatever the reason, it seems like Twitter's big RW accounts are falling into an accelerating gravitational field of self-destructive paranoia.
