As its national influence has risen, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has simultaneously grown more extreme. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the group’s “Red Rabbits” initiative. The Red Rabbits Security Commission, a subgroup within the DSA focused on “community defense” efforts, is, according to its authorizing resolution, preparing for a “national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.” In practice, that means training cadres in tactics like armed and unarmed self-defense, blocking intersections, and fighting “fascists” with umbrellas. A recent panel offered an unprecedented window into what the project looks like. Organizers from Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia,...

The three-day summit, which began Friday at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, took place under heightened security after months of organizing by activist groups opposed to the event. The security concerns were not merely hypothetical. Just one week before the summit, authorities...

Democrat projection justifies all manner of damage. Democrats excel at several tactics, among them: cheating in elections and projection. One can be certain that whatever Democrats are accusing Normal Americans of doing or intending to do, they’re already doing or are planning to do. A particularly common bit of Democrat projection these days is the assertion that political violence is a Republican tactic. Mostly peaceful but fiery Democrats are merely helpless bystanders and victims. We’ve seen plentiful evidence of this sort of projection in the Minneapolis anti-ICE protests, and most recently in the New Jersey anti-ICE protests. We’ve seen it...

Ten days and counting of anti-ICE riots outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall. Threats made to the safety of performers booked for a national celebration of America’s 250th birthday. We could be in for another long, hot summer of leftist violence.

This story is unbelievable... from the show transcripts: "In 2021, my church was bombed, right? I was going to ask you about that. It was bombed by homosexuals because of my preaching. So, we started in the city of Elmani and you know, it was a righteous church."

Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman, who worked for the outlet for more than two decades, is clearly grasping for relevance in his retirement and he's doing so by calling for violence against Trump supporters. The guy who once said the Internet's impact on the economy would be no different than the fax machine thinks the country needs a 'thorough purging' and he's targeting MAGA as the group that needs to go. "We need to de-fang Trump as much as possible and make sure that neither he nor anybody who follows in his footsteps has power after the next...

The left’s glamorization of political violence begins as performance, but history shows how quickly chic nihilism can become something far darker. Brian Thompson’s shooter suspect in hostel CCTV. (security camera, Wikimedia Commons)On the morning of May 18, 2026, on the granite steps of Manhattan’s Criminal Courts Building, three chic women arranged themselves like starlets at Cannes. The heels. The practiced hip-thrust. Weight cocked to one side, chin down, eyes up. With enough mascara between them to repaint Gracie Mansion. But the most revealing part, the part that showed the most skin, was the laminated press credential blessed by the office...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is taking heat from southern conservatives after she delivered a fiery speech in Montgomery, Alabama, last week, demanding that northern progressives “pull up to the South.” Speaking at the “All Roads Lead to The South” rally May 16, the prominent “Squad” member claimed the US was not a true democracy until the 1960s when the Voting Rights Act was passed, and took direct aim at the Supreme Court, accusing the high court under Chief Justice John Roberts of being “part of that long history of regression and repression in America.” Ocasio-Cortez then issued a highly controversial...
