The Right is Using the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Search to Martyr Trump and Maintain the Violent Myth of the Big Lie

By Bradley Onishi

…ou have basically guaranteed him the nomination for the Republican Party in 2024, and you’re going to give him a big weapon to go after Joe Biden or, you know, whatever Democrat emerges in 2024 if they don’t convict him. While it’s wrongheaded to worry about riling up Trump’s base if there’s evidence he committed criminal offenses, I think Jennings is right to a degree. The stakes are high in this case—for Attorney General Merrick Garland, Preside…

‘Spooky Action’ of Quantum Physics Offers an Alternative Frame for War in the Middle East and the 2024 Election

By Peter Schwartz

…ld, in which the availability of sharp-edged nodes of resistance and reaction at local and regional levels have tilted the world dramatically toward a cycle of decline. They’re like the pebbles in a gathering landslide. None of this guarantees Trump and Republicans will reclaim power in 2024. The possibility is still best classified as a strong maybe.

By Joanna Brooks

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…

By Johnny P. Flynn

…und the world failing to hear the same message over and over again. Steven Newcomb, a Shawnee Indian, said it best in a column in Indian Country Today: What the hell were they thinking… the code name was based on an extension of the metaphor “Indians Are Enemies” to “Geronimo was a Terrorist,” thus perpetuating the US tradition of treating Indian nations and peoples as enemies. Maybe if the lessons of the Indian wars had been pondered before the m…

…sorry—Gen. McChrystal) steamroll him into increasing US troop strength in Afghanistan by 40,000 or more; even 85,000. Earlier this month the Pentagon crowed that it had just completed its best recruiting year in three and a half decades. The announcement made no secret of the fact that a devastatingly bad job market is just terrific news for military recruiters waving hefty signing bonuses. The question of conscience: How do we feel about taking…

Herman Cain Doesn’t Know his Afghan from his Uzbek

By Haroon Moghul

…to figure out how to go about doing whatever it is we need to do to win in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan is once again very important to the United States. As Pakistan becomes a more unwilling ally, and sending supplies through Pakistani access points to Afghanistan becomes a more difficult and dangerous proposition, the Obama administration has been making overtures to Uzbekistan. If it helps things any, think of central Asia as another corner of the M…

Afghanistan Killer: Touched or Terrorist?

By Haroon Moghul

…attacks we’ve seen debates on the way we label individuals in the American news media. For example, Newsweek famously went public with its debate about whether to call Austin suicide pilot Joe Stack a terrorist. Although many outlets were more willing to call Anders Breivik a terrorist, that sort of development was not universal. The core issue is that journalists recognize themselves in people like Stack and Breivik. Like most journalists they ar…

Despite Reports, GOP Has Not ‘Turned on Trump’ For Call to Terminate the Constitution — Fascism isn’t a Dealbreaker for Today’s GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…t on the life of the third-highest-ranking Democrat within two years, this news story, which should dominate the news cycle for several weeks at the very least, has seemingly already disappeared from the nation’s headlines. And while some media outlets in the US and internationally ran pieces claiming “Republican condemnation” of Trump’s dictatorial rantings on Truth Social, it’s worth pausing and taking a closer look as to who exactly it was, amo…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

…onveniently, still record propaganda songs). It was a moment that took the new Trumpist version of the Lost Cause—i.e., the “Stolen Election,” which functions as the Trumpist “stab in the back” myth—to new theological heights, having remnants of the faithful coming together, honoring their martyrs, and vowing that vengeance shall be theirs.
