One of the key British actors promoting rampant Islamophobia (Gove) together with child of aristocrats who writes for Spectator/Telegraph.
That sounds promising 🙄

Watch out for discussions about existential threat to the West. Key NatCon (& ARC) talking point.
This kind is everywhere.

Pub day character! Charles Garland: Handsome heir to Wall Street fortune, critic of inheritance, and founder of utopian farming communes. His money incubated social movements during liberalism's lean years, even as his own life spiraled out of control. @SimonandSchuster.bsky.social #TheRadicalFund

Yale Law School prof JFW tells the story of the progressive organising at the start of the 20th c that was pivotal. The now (very radical) right operations such as the Atlas Network’s planners described themselves as modelling their “conservative” mobilising on the left’s model. Key example here.

Come join us this evening @nyhistory.bsky.social for a lost history of the 1920s -- and the paths that got us through eerily similar democratic crisis a century ago. With the great David Blight, 6:30 pm at 77th & CPW. @simonandschuster.bsky.social

An excellent, well researched and evidence-based article that is both enlightening and informative about the underlying motives of christian fundamentalist groups ... beware the freedom warriors like Price and Hastie! 👏👍😎

Thanks so much 🧡

Don’t write it off until you’ve read more. Scepticism is great but remember the plutocrats’ PR operations live to discredit revelations as “conspiracy.”

No. There is a long history of this activity in NZ. Douglas’s Rogernomics came from the same stable. There is a link to Seymour’s “Atlas MBA” in the piece. (Fortnight’s endeavour 🤣)
I don’t have any information on Bishop but Atlas lists went dark in 2021. TP has interconnections in the US & Aus.

Absolutely. It’s not by accident. Read my essays for the networked activity importing it.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Oh heck. Stay safe. There are so many of us out here rooting for the mass turnout on the streets and more, to make this police state transition impossible. 🤞🤞

Lucy Hamilton @lucyham.bsky.social · 6h

I do indeed! 🏆

Lucy Hamilton @lucyham.bsky.social · 6h

Spot on.

Agree. Eugenics is absolutely central and pervasive in the right-wing power elites: open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

The Right's eugenics: Gaza, illegal deportations, breaking DEI, South African "refugees"...

It's not an accident that so many injustices are being perpetrated against people coded as non-White. It's the result of decades of promotion of myths that one "race" is scientifically better.

Thank-you so much. I’m honoured.

Are you in the US? If so, I share your fear. It’s a nightmare watching how fast these 🤬 are unravelling the country.

The interconnectedness transnationally is very disturbing.

Nafeez Ahmed (Alt Reich book) suggests that Reform is a Tory-Right operation. If so, what does that say about the BBC 🤔

Still celebrating in 2025

Most unfair. IMO Brereton hasn't bungled anything. He's only tried to do exactly what he was hired to do - to make it all disappear from public view. #auspol nacc.gov.au

The "freedom" warriors attacking our freedoms

While the rest of us get on with paying our bills, massive money and energy is being put into imposing strict controls on what we can do with our bodies and what we can say.
