A Christian Gun Cult Holds a Trump Festival

The annual Rod of Iron Freedom Festival was as absurd as it was terrifying.

I spent my weekend at a gun cult’s festival, where I shot guns (just like Jesus would have wanted!!), learned about Ivan Raiklin’s Department of Retribution, and watched as the whore of Babylon burned. I wrote about it for The Nation.

The Imagine celeb video, but it's just Drake and Khaled. It cuts back and forth between them, singing & walking. At the end, they walk into the same room! First its hesitant dap, then full on embrace.

Khaled pulls out a Pepsi, cracks it open, pauses, then hands it to Drake.

But wait!

A moment of tension as Drake takes the Pepsi and drinks straight from the can. It's quickly broken when Khaled pats his pockets. "Another one!" he exclaims, as he pulls out a second soda.

They cheers the cans. ☮️

The War Within the Young Republican Party

At the Young Republican National Convention, far-right figures made few inroads—but they did read my Nation investigation.

Undercover With the New Alt-Right

For 11 months, I pretended to be a far-right extremist. I discovered a radical youth movement trying to infiltrate the Republican Party.

Two years ago today, I was at Trump Doral paying thousands of dollars to go to a Dr. Seuss themed party and watch some guy paint Rush Limbaugh while complaining that everyone in New York is always literally pissing on the American flag. I wrote about it a few months ago; it's pretty bleak lmao.

Here's what happens when Kirk Cameron, Jack Posobiec, Sean Spicer, and Libs of TikTok read to children

Libs of TikTok and other conservative authors descended on D.C. for a book reading of their thinly veiled allegories about culture wars.

While the library itself considered canceling the event, it ultimately decided against it, since the event did not break any of the D.C. Public Library’s rules. But directly outside of the meeting room assigned to BRAVE was a display of books about gay and trans youth. 

Pride flags and rainbows covered the shelves, with a sign that said “Cleveland Park Library celebrates ALL sexual orientations.” Trans flags were hung in the windows of the library, visible inside and outside.

The display, a librarian told me, had been set up the night before.

Today I went to the Cleveland Park Library in DC, where Jack Posobiec, Libs of TikTok, Kirk Cameron, and Sean Spicer had a children’s story hour.

Found through Google, bought with Visa and Mastercard: Inside the deepfake porn economy

The nonconsensual deepfake economy has remained largely out of sight, but it's easily accessible, and some creators can accept major credit

"According to Sensity, an Amsterdam-based company that detects and monitors AI-developed synthetic media for industries like banking and fintech, 96% of deepfakes are sexually explicit and feature women who didn’t consent to the creation of the content."

CPAC 2023: Shabbat and Groypers

But something that was unexpected was Marriott Residence Inn National Harbor’s decision to host both the official CPAC Shabbat and Nick Fuen

CPAC was pretty much exactly what I expected -- minus the part where a hotel decided to host both Shabbat and a pro-Hitler rally back to back.
