The VP is being incredibly dishonest. Undocumented immigrant are not eligible for Social Security. Period. In fact, they pay billions of dollars into Social Security in their paychecks that they will never get back. They are a net fiscal benefit to the program!

This is a good idea in principle, none could deny. It also drives home why destructive policies and cultural changes are such a nightmare not just for individual towns and states but for the whole country. Because an evil political class ruined NYS, millions leave. They go to places where they're newcomers, unrooted, with no real ties to the place. Human nature overrides good intentions -- their chosen new homes often can't handle the deluge. So housing prices in their resettlement area go up, displacing locals, who then go somewhere else, spurring a continuation of the cycle. Everyone winds up dislocated in the end, deracinated, uprooted, with really weird politico-cultural consequences -- all because of malignantly bad governance in places like NY, MA, NJ, CA... And so we see that localism succumbs to a political version of "tragedy of the commons." The only counterpoint is has is "stay rooted in your homeland even if they tax you to death, brainwash your kids, and make everything you want to do illegal" -- which is an untenable position. The whole American story seems to be a kind of revolving door between these two antipodes. Rootedness vs. "leaving because cynical bastards destroyed my homeland."

The father of a girl who was disabled in an accident from a truck — driven by an undocumented immigrant — tells lawmakers: "I reject your guys' sympathy to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry."

State of Washington is investigating We Heart Seattle for picking up the needles and fentanyl foil they hand out. For six years we’ve removed hundreds of thousands of pieces of used drug paraphernalia from Seattle parks, greenbelts, and neighborhoods, the exact litter created by government-funded distribution programs. Now L&I is investigating us for “improperly” collecting the same needles and foil that officials freely distribute and then leave for communities to deal with. This bureaucratic overreach will drain time and resources meant for cleanups and outreach. If you believe this is hypocritical and want the work to continue, support us today: weheartseattle.org We pick up what they drop. Don’t let them stop us.

1921: Soviet secret police built a fake resistance movement from scratch to draw out dissidents. It was called The Trust. Fake leaders. Fake safe houses. Fake secret meetings, some attended by Soviet officials posing as sympathetic insiders. For 5 years, real dissidents believed it was the underground resistance. They trusted its leadership, passed along names, walked straight into the open. The resistance never existed. It was a stage set built to find out who believed in it. Sound familiar? You don’t need a fake movement anymore when everyone’s already broadcasting their views, their locations, their contacts, and their networks in public, for free. The Trust took 5 years and a small army of agents to build. Today’s version requires nothing, just patience, and a scroll.

I caused a lot of online furor the past weekend, and caught the eye of Candace Owens. This essay is written in my own voice, because I wanted to be honest on everything that happened.

The Most Destructive Intellectual Project of the Twentieth Century. The Frankfurt School. You should know what it was, what it built, and why you are still living inside it. 1. The Institute for Social Research was founded in Frankfurt in 1923 and relocated to Columbia University in 1934 when Hitler came to power. The civilization they had decided to dismantle gave them refuge when another tried to kill them. They spent the next five decades producing the theoretical infrastructure for that dismantling. Western civilization itself was the problem: reason, the Enlightenment, the family, tradition, authority. Not reformed. Dismantled. 2. They called it Critical Theory – and the name is the program. Everything is to be criticized; nothing is to be built. In The Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944), Adorno and Horkheimer argued that Western reason — the reason that produced Newton and the rule of law — contained the seeds of Auschwitz. Not that reason had been misused, but that reason itself, taken to its conclusion, produces the death camp. This was not a critique of institutions. It was an indictment of the civilization itself. 3. Adorno gave them the psychological weapon. The Authoritarian Personality (1950) classified conservatism, religious faith, patriotism, and the traditional family not as political positions but as symptoms of a proto-fascist personality. If you believe in the nation or the father’s authority, you are pre-fascist. The opponent was no longer wrong – he was sick. You don’t argue with a pathology. You treat it. This made dialogue impossible. You don’t persuade someone who is wrong; you diagnose someone who is sick. Politics becomes therapy, and disagreement becomes pathology. 4. Marcuse gave them the political weapon. Repressive Tolerance (1965) argued that tolerating wrong ideas is itself oppression. True tolerance therefore requires suppressing intolerant ideas. The left decides which ideas are intolerant. Everyone else is silenced – not despite tolerance, but "in its name." Censorship dressed in the vocabulary of liberation. 5. The generation that read Marcuse at Columbia, Berkeley, and Yale went on to run universities, media, foundations, NGOs, content moderation departments, and the EU regulatory apparatus. They implemented the argument sincerely because they had been taught it as philosophy. This was the Frankfurt School’s greatest achievement: it produced true believers. 6. French Theory picked up the tools and made them aesthetic. Foucault made the critique of power literary. Derrida made the critique of meaning philosophical. Deleuze made the critique of identity elegant. A political program became a cultural sensibility. You can argue with a program. A sensibility is in the air you breathe. By the time these ideas reached the American campus through the French conduit, they were no longer ideology. They were the water. The fish did not know they were wet. 7. A civilization stands on three pillars: truth exists and is accessible to reason; good is distinguishable from evil; and there is an inheritance worth transmitting. The Frankfurt School attacked all three – systematically and with considerable intellectual sophistication. It produced a generation that knows how to deconstruct and has forgotten how to build. That sees power everywhere and beauty nowhere. The ultimate achievement was to make destruction feel like progress. Every inherited institution became suspect; every constraint became oppression; every act of preservation became reactionary. Deconstruction became the default, while construction became something that needed to justify itself. The answer is not another theory. It is the thing the Frankfurt School most feared: the builder who simply builds, the scientist who follows the evidence, the father who transmits what was transmitted to him. The deconstruction machine runs on the assumption that nothing is worth building. Prove it wrong. Tell the truth, have courage, and build.
