Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT REJECTS CASE THAT THREATENED ITS LANDMARK 2015 RULING RECOGNIZING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
States should still heed this as a sobering wake up call and move to undo same-sex marriage bans in their constitutions and/or formally legalize it by their legislatures. We were lucky this time, but nobody knows what the future might bring.

I don't think anything radicalized me as much as realizing taxes are purposefully kept difficult so that one company can make a profit on software
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Trump’s White House leaned on DHS to help accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate get his seized devices back. A Trump aide who once joked about having a “Nazi streak” pressed agents to hand evidence to an alleged predator. This isn’t law and order — it’s the sexual predator protection program.

US / oligarchs backed protestors from the failed coup attempt wore Nazi shirts, masks, and graffiti’d the government building with “Jewish Whore” while also chanting anti-Semitic and misogynistic slogans about the Mexican president. At least 7 remain under arrest for the attempted murder of police.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
