Bryan Fair, the SPLC's CEO, was kind enough to mention my congressional testimony in his video. He also mentioned my exclusive on @FBIDirectorKash separating the FBI from the SPLC last year.

As a piece of damage control, Fair's announcement is very interesting.
He acknowledges that SPLC paid informants to monitor "extremely violent groups." He claims this program is over. He frames it in terms of the civil rights movement and the 1984 bombing of SPLC HQ.

HOW TO RUN A SALES INTERVIEW LIKE A SALES CALL:
By minute 20, you should already know these 5 things:
By minute 20, you should already know these 5 things:
1/ Why the role is open
Backfill = someone failed or quit. The HM has a specific wound. Find it.
Expansion = the team is growing. You're walking into momentum.
These two scenarios require completely different positioning. You can't know which one you're in until you ask.

2/ What the last person got wrong
They'll say "not the right fit." Push past it.
What you're quantifying: the gap between what the role required and what the last person delivered.
That gap is your angle for the rest of the call.

What is General Strike US (GSUS)?
A decentralized network founded in 2022. The goal is not reform. It's replacement of the U.S. government with a network of councils, assemblies, and "liberated zones" they govern themselves.
Direct from their published materials:
Strategy roadmap tagline: "From local power → national disruption → revolutionary transformation"
Core demands slogan: "We build power → Share power → Take power"
Phase 2 title:
"Be Ready to Govern Ourselves"
"As the system cracks, we build the structures to replace it: assemblies, councils, unions, and community defense, so we can govern ourselves."
"Our demands aren't policy proposals... Policy assumes the system is legitimate and just needs adjustments."
Two trigger points:
6M signed "strike cards" = Phase 2, coordinated walkouts, rent strikes, shutdowns
11M signatures (3.5% of U.S. population) = the general strike
Roughly 350,000 signed so far.
Listed tactics: withholding labor, withholding and redistributing federal taxes, rent strikes, corporate boycotts.
Structure: no leadership, no paid staff. Runs on Discord and Signal. PO Box in Malden-on-Hudson, NY.
Fiscal sponsor: A Radical Guide, a 501(c)(3). Donations are tax-deductible.
Newsletter affirmation: "No bosses. No landlords. No colonizers. Only people. Only power. Only liberation."
Their Core Demands and Strategy Roadmap below. Read them yourself.

More internal organizing material.
Their "5 Step Strategy" in plain text:
Step 1: Build People Power from the Ground Up
Step 2: Connect the People's Power, Build a United Front
Step 3: Bring Clarity to the Struggle
Step 4: Disrupt the System Together
Step 5: Get Ready to Build the New World
The 3 Strike Phases:
• Phase 1 (0-6M signed): Awareness & Organizing
• Phase 2 (6M-10M): "active application of power to challenge the system"
• Phase 3 (11M): "long term structural influence and readiness for next cycles"
Direct quote: "Revolution isn't linear, it's dynamic. We organize, struggle, and grow in motion."
The term they use for their strategic framework: "dual power."
"Build dual power through community led institutions (co-ops, survival programs, mutual aid, tool libraries)."
Dual power is Leninist revolutionary terminology. It means constructing parallel governing institutions alongside the existing state until the parallel institutions can displace it. Lenin used it to describe the situation between the February and October 1917 revolutions in Russia.
The endgame in their own words: "Build the New World."

Their internal teach-in agenda, used to onboard new organizers.
The strategy section says it plainly:
"Our goal isn't reform but to replace capitalism with people led structures ready to take over."
The mechanism, in their words: build parallel systems (food programs, neighborhood safety teams, worker committees, people's assemblies), call them "dual power structures," grow them until they replace the institutions they're fighting.
Also from the same document:
• Founded 2022 by "two friends in NYC."
• Internal governance model: sociocracy.
• Hidden 10 Point Platform behind the public 5 Core Demands.
• Final demands won't be drafted until Phase 2 (6M signatures).
• Direct action training listed: rent strikes, student strikes, community defense.
Closing line: "We build power, share power and take power."
This is a trained cadre organization with a funding pipeline, a curriculum, and an explicit replacement-of-government mission.

Okay the Personnel subcommittee has gaveled in. Looks like Rice's amendment will be last in the agenda.
Revised letters from Auditor of State and Lt. Governor pass w/out discussion
Rice: The amendment is necessitated because many Arkansans feel Profiri has broken their trust over multiple issues. In the 18 years I've been in the Legislature, we have required employees to testify. Profiri refused.
The body keeps the score, sure.
The more interesting question is why the person keeping the score and the person who showed up to therapy feel like two different people.
It's called structural dissociation. Everyone has some version of it. Most people never learn what it is:

In 2006, Van der Hart, Nijenhuis, and Steele published The Haunted Self.
It showed how chronic stress and trauma fragment the personality. They create gaps between parts of the psyche that should be communicating.
The fragmentation happens on a spectrum.

The model names two kinds of parts:
ANP — Apparently Normal Part. The version of you that answers emails, pays rent, attends the meeting. Its job is daily life. Its goal is to avoid emotional material.
EP — Emotional Part. The version of you that holds the survival response. Fear, rage, freeze, collapse. Its field of awareness is the stressor, not the present moment.

A lot of folks online are pushing this talking point about 5 Senators ousting Thune. You're getting played. This is not possible. It's being used to make you Kamikaze so that you lose. It's a distraction, to demoralize you.

2/ The Majority Leader is a party position. The full Senate doesn’t elect him by floor vote like the House Speaker.He’s chosen by the Senate Republican Conference (the caucus of all GOP Senators).
3/ Conference rules do let a handful of Senators (around 5) request a special meeting to hold a leadership vote. That part is true. But requesting the meeting ≠ winning the vote.

🧵1/3 - The US Treasury has completed the integration of the digital serial number tracking system.
Experts say that with the proper development of technology, the US will be able to establish banknote monitoring and remotely "shut off" liquidity.

Good morning #arpx! We're back for another couple days of fiscal session. Today in Joint Budget Committee are various amendments to funding bills; later in the personnel subcommittee we'll hear Sen. Terry Rice's proposed amendment to defund Joe Profiri's position.
Rep. Lundstrum pauses proceedings to make sure we're not spending any more money on unemployment services/benefits. Classy as always, Rep.
We are not, predictably (but we should be!)

Treasury is up to ask for a bit more money for salaries; Sen. Bryant is noting that the C-suite employees are getting as much as 20%+ raises, while lower level employees are getting as little as 2% (far below COL/inflation rates)
documenting my pixel art AI journey (as someone with 0 pixel art experience)
My 1st task is to generate a new, fully animated archer sprite in my game @DotA_Agents. It must be in a top-down RTS format, with animations for walk + attack in 5 directions (N, NE, E, SE, S). This is a rare format btw, the most common pixel art is top-down RPG style in 4 directions
1) I start with generating a single south-facing archer sprite using RD (retro diffusion). I use the "RD Pro" model to generate a dark archer 64x64px, easy enough. This should form my base character.

2) Next i used RD's Animations -> "8 Direction Rotation" with my prior archer as a reference image.
As you can see, unfortunately they look very different. I think it will be very hard to get them to look the same, the animation process generates new artwork from scratch basically.
Whatever, for the sake of this exercise, I'm just gonna roll with what I have here.

3) Next up, i want to animate walk for 5 directions. I start with the SE sprite and use it as the reference image in RD's Advanced Animations -> Walking model. I leave "Optional motion description" setting blank and get this animation of him attacking east.
Oof, not good.

1/ Russia is entering a full-scale debt crisis, according to newly published official figures. Non-payments have reached an all-time high equivalent to nearly 4% of GDP or a fifth of the entire federal budget. It's a fresh sign of a deepening economic crisis worsened by war. ⬇️
2/ Russian media is reporting today that data from Rosstat, the official statistics agency, says that as of the end of January 2026 unpaid business debt has reached a record 8.2 trillion rubles ($109.3 billion). Non-payments have nearly tripled since 2022.
3/ This is equivalent to about 20% of the annual federal budget, 150% of Moscow's budget, and 1500% of the budget of large and wealthy regions such as the Sverdlovsk Region and the Krasnodar Krai.
