Every time Nick Fuentes is in the news, I see reporters and observers making the same two errors:
1. Treating something he says on one show, in one clip, as his master plan. He streams for 2 hours a night. While there are some constants, his analysis & strategy shifts over time/

X is to Truth Social as Fox News is to Newsmax. It’s all just propaganda, only one platform gives a fig leaf of NOT being 100% propaganda. Just as there’s little to be gained by non-MAGA voices going on Fox, same goes for X. You’re swimming against a powerful tide.
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

I’ve seen this with Xinjiang. Meanwhile Xinjiang scholars have taken risks to talk about this because the Islamophobia is so potent and toxic
The people who say "why this obsession with Palestine? why don't you post about Sudan?" never post about Sudan themselves.
What they mean is "it's fine you don't care about Sudan. You should be similarly indifferent to Palestine"
(of course, many people do post about both and other crises)

very plausible outcome of all of this is “america continues to be the world hegemon even while sinking into a less functional internal state, and periodically flipping out and abandoning all commitments every decade, because nobody else bothers to challenge it”

"As someone who is definitely NOT antisemitic, I strongly believe all the Jews should be sent to their own country on the other side of the world."
Mike Pence wrote an opinion piece for Fox News. Reading the headline, I was like, "Okay, seems like a normal take."
Then I read the subheadline and... bro, what?

This nurse from Maryland was on one of the recent flights to Ghana transferring third country nationals— under a still undisclosed agreement with the U.S.
Certainly, she is not “worst of the worst.” Certainly her treatment in Ghana does not reflect solidarity and concern with fellow West Africans.

OK. An update.

A few things.
1. There is no product for women available in the UK, so we get prescribed the same product that men get prescribed, but at a much lower dose...

Not eating animals is a very robust rule of thumb when it comes to reducing your environmental footprint and the amount of suffering your diet may be producing.
FT investigation:
Tuna-fishing has among the worst working conditions of any fishing.
If you buy tuna from a UK supermarket, you may be buying the product of modern slavery. ig.ft.com/supermarket-...

Don't take this to mean Signal itself is compromised, the records came from a “sensitive source with excellent access.” Assume there's a mole in any big Signal group.
A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

There should be infinitely more interest in this medical mystery.
How many doctors can even name the phenomenon described below?
I’ll give a hint: it’s the hallmark of a disease that affects 1.3% of US adults, per CDC. (So docs should know about it!)
