“As Bob Dylan might say, let us not talk falsely now. He really proposed a Muslim ban. He really did try to steal the vote in Georgia. He really did want the rioters to hang Mike Pence. He really did rape E. Jean Carroll.

"And he really is running for President to ‘terminate’ the Constitution.

"He is, in other words, an insurgent. In a sane legal system, he would be under house arrest awaiting trial.”

Constitutional scholar Garrett Epps is not mincing words.

It’s Not Just the Border: The Trump-Abbott- Republican Nullification Crisis Is Here

Not since the meek accountant in the back of the courtroom leapt up and screamed, “Stop, Perry Mason! I did it! I killed him, and I’m GLAD!” has a suspect been quite so eager to confess his crimes as Donald J. Trump. When he proposed a Muslim ban in 2016 and then actually declared one […]

Reuters has taken down -- globally -- an important hacking-for-profit investigation that included details about an Indian hacking entrepreneur -- because he got a court in that country to say so.

Who Is Killing All These Stories About Rajat Khare, Controversial Tech Mogul?

A tech guru is waging a war on major media outlets across three continents, hiring a “media assassin” law firm to kill stories connecting him to “hacks-for-hire” controversy.

We must learn from history so that we do not repeat it.

"Hurting fascist's income doesn't work", says the fuckers making money off fascists.

"Blocking or banning fascists just makes things worse", says the asshats who profit off the controversies.

"Fascist speech must be protected because of free speech", says the ignorant bastards who don't care about actual freedom.

Pro-Trump electors indicted in Nevada, the third state to issue charges

Nevada is the third state after Georgia and Michigan to seek charges against the pro-Trump activists who met and cast ballots for the then-president on Dec. 14, 2020, despite Joe Biden’s victory.
