The cycle of dread and panic, of being driven to the edge at full speed before someone slams the brakes, harms our nervous systems, and has the potential to break our spirits.

Jefferson's words on equality are often seen as self-evident, yet they fail to encompass enslaved individuals, women, and other marginalized groups, revealing a significant contradiction.

Now they're trying to arrest me simply because I do not believe in gay rights and abortion. I had the cops called on me. A SWAT team showed up, and I'm now engaged in a shootout. My state has been the number one abortion and gay rights state in the entire country and I've been segregated against for my beliefs.

Most Americans are patriotic, hardworking, neighbor-helping, America-loving, money-giving people who don't pop off on social media or plot for power. The hidden truth: Most people agree on most things, most of the time. And the data validates this, time and time again.

The Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ, today known as the Peoples Temple, was a U.S. new religious movement organization existing between its founding in 1955 until its dissolution in 1978. Founded by Jim Jones in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Peoples Temple spread a message combining elements of Christianity with egalitarian politics. Through the years, Jones tightened his control over the group, first by requiring members to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas together as a Temple "family" rather than with blood relatives.

Most days, an email lands in my inbox with the promise to amplify my growth-my newsletter subscribers, the reach of my podcasts, the number of client leads, etc. I've gotten used to random people pitching me on their services, and some of the messages expertly prey on my insecurities as a business owner ("you're leaving so much on the table," et al.). I never answer any of them, but I sometimes wonder which ones might actually be legit.

The centre found that on X alone from February 28, the first day of the war, to Thursday, users posted more than 25,300 Islamophobic remarks. The dataset examined original posts, quotes and replies containing Islamophobic content from January 1 through Thursday, noting that the reach of such posts expanded significantly once reposts are included to more than 279,000 mentions of Islamophobic content.

The posts have referred to neo-Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the U.S. population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys. Their authors are not on society's fringe. They are in the offices of the White House and the departments of Homeland Security and Labor, using official government accounts.

After buying Twitter, Elon Musk rebuilt it to his own specifications and preferences. This resulted in an environment we may gently call friendlier to the discussion and promotion of right-wing politics. The goal motivated his purchase and subsequent management and product decisions, and people who still use the platform will agree, in a narrow sense, that its character has changed. From the left: Elon Musk turned Twitter into 4chan for government officials and tech workers.

The day before Epstein discussed meeting him - possibly the day they had met - Poole created a new discussion board on the website called /pol/, short for "politically incorrect." According to 4chan researcher Sal Hagen, Poole had previously shut down the board /new/ after bemoaning that it had been overrun by white supremacists. His creation of /pol/ may have been intended to contain 4chan's most bigoted population, but instead, /pol/ came to define the platform.

We are moving into a new phase of informational warfare on social media platforms where technological advancements have made the classic bot approach outdated,

Democrats successfully defended a conservative seat in rural Louisiana on Saturday night, as Chasity Martinez defeated Republican Brad Daigle by a dominant 62-38 margin-a massive 37-point overperformance compared to the 2024 presidential result. Republicans had hoped to score their first legislative pickup of any kind during Donald Trump's second term, and they had good reason to think they might succeed in the 60th House District.

Last week, far-right streamer Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization of women and girls. During an episode of his America First livestream on Rumble, Fuentes declared, "Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists - all of his political rivals - we have to do the same thing with women ... They go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags."
