Conservative pundits revived the narrative almost immediately, illustrating the centrality of xenophobia to their coverage

Since 2025, Democrats have sent letters demanding information into the void and Kushner has continued to act with impunity. Those days should be coming to an end.

About this show:

The series features a panel of interviewers on the autism spectrum interviewing celebrity guests.

Interview guests in the six-episode first season were Howie Mandel, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Jann Arden, Allan Hawco, Arlene Dickinson and Russell Peters.[3] Revelations broadcast in the series included Arden discussing her battle with alcoholism, Mandel talking about how his life was improved when he publicly opened up about his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Dickinson sharing that despite her success on television and in business she is still an introverted person who struggles with insecurity, and Peters talking about the difficult relationship he had with his mother growing up.[4] Dickinson later stated that "it was the most moving experience I've had in terms of really being able to connect with people in a different way. There are no barriers or guardrails in place in terms of what they asked, but also the questions truly came from a place of deep interest."[2]

Guests in this season

• Hudson Williams (actor)
• Marie-Philip Poulin (three-time Olympic gold medalist)

The three state killings came just two days after the Democrats’ sweeping victory in the November 3 midterm elections, which constituted a stunning repudiation of Trump’s policies on social inequality, war, the assault on immigrants and attacks on democratic rights. Yet a wide internet search turns up not a single comment from any Democrat on Thursday’s three executions.

• SpaceX and CoreWeave Inc. were among the biggest casualties in a broad-based credit slump due to renewed fears of tighter regulation on the artificial intelligence industry.
• The yields on one of CoreWeave's bonds soared to a record high of more than 17%, while the cost of insuring SpaceX's debt against default also rose to its highest level ever.
• Market watchers warned that a Democratic rout could strengthen the party's ability to scrutinize Elon Musk's conduct and impede an anticipated tie-up between Space X and Tesla Inc.

With the Democratic Party’s landslide victory, a day of reckoning appears to have arrived for Trump and the far-right, white nationalist forces that have turned cruelty into a governing principle and hatred into a political language. Something has broken in the machinery of fear. The old fascist ideas, the politics of racial hatred, and the relentless assault on human dignity have encountered a moment of resistance. Too much suffering, too much misery, too much authoritarian violence. Too much blood in the streets, too many deaths, screams, and a deafening silence. Enough is enough, at least for the moment. The Trump regime has exposed some of the darkest impulses of political life, resurrecting the ghosts of a past that should have taught us where the glorification of state violence, racial cleansing, the crushing of dissent, and organized cruelty inevitably leads. Its legacy is written in the expansion of the carceral state, the staggering investment in prisons and punishment, the unleashing of masked agents of repression across the country, and the unapologetic embrace of a language of racial cleansing that strips entire populations of their humanity and destroys lives and civil liberties.

Yet the celebrations now dominating liberal and mainstream media risk turning this electoral victory into an exercise in historical amnesia. Trump’s defeat is being hailed as a crushing repudiation of the far right, as though the political conditions that made his rise possible have suddenly disappeared. Missing from this triumphalist narrative is any serious reckoning with the Democratic Party’s own complicity in creating those conditions. From Clinton to Obama, Democratic administrations embraced neoliberal policies that deepened economic inequality, strengthened corporate power, weakened working-class institutions, and helped create the social and political landscape in which authoritarianism could flourish. Nor can the party's leadership escape responsibility for its support of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, its exporting of horrendous military weapons, and its broader allegiance to a colonizing authoritarian order, sustained through violence and dispossession. A party so deeply implicated in the machinery of neoliberal capitalism cannot be entrusted with dismantling the very structures of power it has helped legitimate and preserve.

For a fleeting moment, democracy may be able to breathe again. But breathing is not liberation, and an electoral victory is no substitute for dismantling the gangster capitalist order that breeds authoritarianism, feeds on human suffering, commodifies every aspect of life, and makes fascism an enduring possibility. The forces that produced Trump did not emerge overnight, nor will they disappear with an election. They are embedded in institutions that concentrate wealth, manufacture fear, normalize inequality, and transform human misery into a source of profit and political power. Trump may be defeated at the ballot box, but Trumpism cannot be defeated without confronting the economic, political, and cultural foundations of a system that turns greed into virtue, cruelty into policy, racism into a badge of honor, and human disposability into a governing principle.

Unless those foundations are dismantled, the nightmare will return, perhaps wearing a different mask. The serpent's egg, to invoke the haunting metaphor associated with Ingmar Bergman, has not been destroyed. It lies beneath the surface of seemingly democratic societies, nourished by the dark and volatile forces of a capitalist order that breeds inequality, authoritarianism, and organized cruelty. Brecht understood that fascism could not be confronted without exposing the capitalist relations of power that give rise to it. The serpent's egg remains embedded in the political, economic, and cultural machinery of gangster capitalism, waiting for the conditions under which it can hatch again. Fascism may suffer an electoral defeat, but the serpent survives, sustained by the very system that gave it life.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who will likely be the Speaker of the House come January, said Sunday that he is a “hard yes” when it comes to impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“I’m a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution. The so-called secretary of Defense has abused his power, undermined our national security and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran,” Jeffries said to ABC News’s Jonathan Karl on “This Week.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) had told Karl that he intends to introduce a resolution of impeachment against the defense secretary.

Attorneys for jailed wealthy leftwing donor James “Fergie” Chambers accused the Trump administration of making “malicious” and “bad faith” changes to legally required translations from English to Spanish in its extradition request to Spain, adding words like “violent”, “detonate” and “fires” that are not in the original text.

Chambers’ legal team also identified multiple instances where the US translation from English to Spanish created more serious legal accusations against Chambers than were indicated in the original text for his alleged involvement in paying the legal fees of activists who participated in a 2023 protest against Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.

Chambers’ case is the first known instance of the US seeking to extradite a citizen over alleged support for Hamas, an accusation apparently tied to a money laundering charge and donations Chambers has made to support Palestinians, including the Sameer Project, in Gaza.

The attorneys have filed a last-minute request to the National Court of Spain asking for a new translation and for the court to recognize the “bad faith” actions of the US, after also learning this week that Chambers’ extradition hearing has been scheduled for 13 November.

Up and down the ballot, across the country, and according to every major news outlet, Democratic candidates won big on Tuesday night. True to form, immediately before and after this sweeping victory—which was largely expected, though its scale and scope were not—centrist Democratic consultants and the corporate press were out in force, warning voters to curb their enthusiasm and stay in the moderate lane.

Hi all, I've started working on URHome Connect (UHC) which allows you to set up a 'client' website that your users visit in order to request access to your homelab. You run the 'admin' mode on your LAN which modifies the Opnsense alias that you've used to allow access for your users.

Attached image contains the concept of operations, as somewhat of a design.

It's in very early stages so calling it v0.3.1 in the releases tab might even be generous. It's functional, either installation through the binary or through docker, currently only have support for Opnsense and Pushover - if this gets a bit of interest then i'll work on expanding notification support.

You'll find some more info on the Codeberg link, but some goals of this project:

• Simple setup and use
• No Javascript (HTML + CSS Only)
• Mobile / Desktop compatibility

I've not used AI to write anything used in the project, but have read some AI summaries while researching some topics i'm not fully across like CSS which has come a long way since i've touched it.

Really need the community input to drive the direction of UHC. The way I see it now is it serves my purposes just fine and happy for it to grow slowly and organically as needs emerge. There are still things I need to finish but figured i'd get it out there as soon as possible to hear what you all think.

The victories were a clear rebuke of Trump’s politics, but also a referendum on the Democratic party’s own centrism that is complicit in the violence of masked men hunting immigrants, the funding of a genocide and the denial of healthcare to citizens of the world’s wealthiest country.

…Hakeem Jeffries, who is running for speaker of the House, will not commit to holding a vote on abolishing ICE. He opposes Medicare for All. He has said he will not hold Trump accountable for the human rights violations committed, portraying it as a question of “getting even” rather than achieving justice where it was denied. Chuck Schumer, who holds similar positions, has an extraordinarily low approval rating – yet plans to run for majority leader in the Senate. Electeds are questioning whether these men should hold these roles.

But the dissent must also come from us, as it has been. We need to demand an end to the fast violence of guns on our streets trained on our neighbors, bombs dropped from the sky and the slow violence of people dying because their healthcare was denied or their food stamps were cut.

We need to organize, and mobilize, to demand the multi-racial democracy we were promised – not a playground for the rich to get richer on the time and labor and lives of the poor.
