By Nat Wilson Turner Last week at the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit in New York City, Ahmed al-Sharaa, President of the Syrian Arab Republic, appeared as one of the speakers. The summit bills itself as “the largest and most inclusive nonpartisan forum alongside the UN General Assembly” where “top movers and shakers of today’s world […]

President Trump had another successful week of what is already the greatest presidency of all time, and yet, the woke leftist mob continues to deliberately foment violence by labeling our administration as “fascist.” Donald Trump deserves nothing but praise, and I, Stephen Miller, will not stand idly by while the radical left tries to sow chaos by painting President Trump as some sort of self-obsessed, jingoistic nationalist.
Calling the president, or any member of this administration, a fascist is tantamount to inciting violence. We are not fascists, and if you call us fascists, we will throw you in jail.
I have been quick to condemn the Democrats’ pathetic attempts to put a target on our backs. Every time you call someone a fascist, you are signing their death warrant.
For reporting on Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and the master plan to sell our democracy, NewsGuard’s media rating system has deemed us misleadingly liberal.
Labour's conference showed a party leadership doubling down on a strategy that has left the Prime Minister with few remaining supporters either in or outside the party, argues Neal Lawson
At Bombay Beach, a half-ruined former vacation town on the edge of the Salton Sea, absurdist philosophers, artists, and everyday townsfolk have undertaken a postapocalyptic experiment in radical living.

It is easy to miss California’s biggest environmental disaster. Driving north on Highway 111, you wouldn’t expect to find an inland sea. If it’s summer, the thermometer in your car could read 115 degrees. But amid the shimmering heat, there are signs of water. All around you, rows of broccoli, lettuce, and alfalfa stretch in every direction. In the fields, farmworkers bend and straighten. The air is sharp with cow dung. A pall of dust hangs over everything.
FUCK YOU, BRIAN!

FUCK YOU, BRIAN! Also, please tell your neighbor to the right (your left) that I apologize for smashing their window.

If Brian receives this: FUCK YOU!
If Brian’s Neighbor receives this: I need you to know that I’m standing directly across from Brian’s window. I’m even using my nondominant hand to aim before I release, so I shouldn’t be missing. That being said, I take full responsibility.
Rather than attempting to fix my throwing mechanics in real time at the cost of your window (which unfortunately I can’t cover), I’ll move to stand across from Brian’s other neighbor’s window before throwing the next brick. It should still veer right, thus going to Brian. See attached diagram.
Sorry about this. It won’t happen again.

Since the announcement of the government’s intention to introduce digital ID cards last week, public opinion has turned ferociously against the policy, which Labour had explicitly ruled out as early as last July. The proposal, a longstanding policy recommendation of former Prime Minister Tony Blair (who attempted to introduce them himself in 2003), currently has […]
Vad gäller frågan om jämlikhet inför den ekonomiska makten försöker jag alltså utveckla den här typen av för-slag. Det innebär inte att vinsterna ska fördelas fullständigt jämlikt: människor har olika planer för sitt liv och det finns ingen absolut jämlikhet, vare sig vad gäller det yrke man har eller inkomsten. Vilket slags inkomstskillnader vore rimliga […]

(I wrote this piece a week or so ago, meant to do a bit more work but haven’t got around to it. Hence slightly dated allusions) The culmination of Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK was a press conference at which both American and British leaders waved pieces of paper, containing an agreement that […]
I took the time to read a transcript of Secretary of War Hegseth’s speech to the gathered generals and admirals. To my surprise, I agreed with a lot of it, though not all. The crazy bits, especially combined with Trump’s statements, are the talk of domestic enemies and using the military against them. But most […]
