CPAC FLAUNTS FASCISM IN DALLAS

Texas Monthly

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán received a standing ovation at
the semiannual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC),
America’s most important right-wing political event. He spent much
of his speech defending his vision of a “zero-migration” country
defined by ethnic homogeneity and Judeo-Christian values. 

INDIGENOUS CANDIDATES

Yes!

In this year’s primaries, there are more than 100 Indigenous
candidates running for state or federal office in the United States.
These leaders are no strangers to governance and civic duty—American
Indigenous values, like the Iroquois Great Law of Peace, served as
the foundational model for American democracy.

Abortion laws are changing daily, as legislatures across the U.S. pass
new protections or strip away existing ones. Governors are signing
executive orders to protect reproductive freedom or calling special
legislative sessions and urging their colleagues to gut protections.
Judges are placing injunctions or lifting them.

Reveal

In scores of domestic violence gun homicides from 2017 through 2020,
Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting found that law
enforcement repeatedly ignored even the most glaring signs that a
victim was at high risk of being killed. 

REPRESSION OF READING

Ever since GOP hedge-fund zillionaire Glenn Youngkin won the 2021 race
for Virginia's governor with a campaign that celebrated attempts to
censor Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison, Republicans across the
country have been swept up in a book-banning frenzy.

THOUGHTS ON THE RUSHDIE ATTACK

By Yasmin Nair

One response to the attack, the dominant one so far in liberal and
left-ish media, has been to once again hold up Salman  Rushdie as
a writer who represents everything that is noble and good and
enlightening about Writing with a capital W. But literature and
writing are not so much “world-changing” or “dangerous”, as
forms and acts that are far more mundane, more quotidian. 

NO TEARS FOR AN AHISTORICAL HISTORIAN

CounterPunch

A small group are elevated to the status of national treasures. 
David McCullough fits this job description to a T. The job, just to be
clear, is to tell the stories that keep white people secure not just
about the prevailing economic and political hierarchy but in its moral
superiority as well.

The Texas Tribune 

New York City was not initially a destination when the Texas governor
began busing asylum-seekers east. That changed after NYC Mayor Eric
Adams launched his war of words against Abbott, who’s now sending
hundreds to the Big Apple.

The streets of New York City reflect the anger of the majority of
Americans at the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

WOKE CAPITALISM

By Carl Rhodes

Disney’s support of their LGBTQ+ employees led the inventor of the
term “woke capitalism”, Rod Dreher, to write in The American
Conservative that “Disney can go to hell” along with “Woke
Capitalism’s whores” who support them.
