Tonight, Trump claimed that he ended eight wars during his time in office. But the president is far from antiwar.
As @eamonwhalen.bsky.social writes, "Under Trump, the wars will continue—from Chicago to Caracas. It’s not a reckless adventure; it’s all part of the plan. Until Trump says it isn’t."
The season finale of Only If You Get Caught is out today. Thank you to everyone for listening and sharing with all your most influential friends! defector.com/the-class-wa...
For @motherjones.com I wrote about the stubborn idea that Trump is a force for peace, and how the contradictions of MAGA foreign policy are made clear in the new national security strategy, and the invasion of Venezuela.

Nick Fuentes spent half a decade hounding Charlie Kirk for being insufficiently reactionary. As @eamonwhalen.bsky.social points out, the play worked: the Groypers have dragged Turning Point further to the right, without much resistance.
For the @thebaffler.com I wrote about how Nick Fuentes and "The Groyper Wars" changed Charlie Kirk

How long can the Republican party’s center hold? @eamonwhalen.bsky.social writes on Charlie Kirk, Nick Fuentes, and the white nationalists fighting their way in from the fringe.
For @fastcompany.com I wrote about how Nick Fuentes has exposed a fracture in MAGA, how he reflects a new generation raised in a wholly different media and political environment, and how condemnations from the right are far too little, far too late.

When masked agents in plainclothes and tactical gear roam American cities, and troops are deployed based on trumped up fears of crime and disorder, this story takes the form of an ominous precursor.

This investigation spans multiple decades and continents, from protests, civil trials and gun shops in Minneapolis, to an internal Army investigation into one of the most notorious firms that set up shop after the Iraq war was privatized.
He was hired by a mall to evict a memorial garden and protest encampment that arose after police killed a Black man named Winston Smith in the mall’s garage. Seabrook imported a mindset from a warzone, and likened protesters to insurgents.
Seabrook founded Conflict Resolution Group in response to the Minneapolis uprising of 2020. He marketed his security firm as uniquely suited for a new landscape, where the skills he acquired from conflict zones in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya were needed in the homeland.
I wrote about how an Iraq-war era military contractor ended up as a mall cop cracking down on a protest encampment in Minneapolis the summer after the George Floyd protests. This is the story of Nathan Seabrook and long arc of the war on terror. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
