Another in a (generally ) weekly series of posts with interesting reading / viewing material (note: some linked articles contain adult language).
SPLC
So the DOJ is now going after the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center), claiming that the folks that broke the KKK actually are funding racist groups, in order to drum up contributions. It’s a horrific example of the Trump administration’s weaponization of government, plenty of good takes on it — Contrarian | Public Notice | Joyce Vance.
Hungary
In spite of state-controlled media, gerrymandering, death threats, and about every other trick in the book, Hungarians turned out in record numbers to soundly defeat extreme-right darling Viktor Orbán. It’s a relief to anyone concerned with Europe’s future, and encouraging to voters in the U.S. (with some important lessons as well). Good reading from Jennifer Rubin | The Big Picture | Tom Joscelyn & Susan Corke.
