Kliniken, in denen Abtreibungen durchgeführt werden, werden darin das "modernes Äquivalent zu Nazi-Gaskammern" genannt. Das ist recht typisch für Abtreibungsgegner hier, die Existenz von Abtreibungen wird oft als Genozid und als schlimmer als der Holocaust bezeichnet.

Eine kleiner Einblick in die Materialien, die hier verteilt werden - wie diese Broschüre der Liberty University, in der der Uterus als "Konzentrationslager" bezeichnet wird, als "modernes Auschwitz", solange Abtreibung nicht vollständig verboten ist.

Tag 1 der "National Conservatism" Konferenz in D.C. - "Familie, Glaube, Fruchtbarkeit" war das Motto, man wähnte sich im "Krieg für eine christl. Nation", völkisches Denken und Verfolgungsfantasien bestimmten den Tag. Hier die ausführliche, dt. Zsfassung für Patrons www.patreon.com/posts/107875...

Are you looking forward to a Trump administration cutting off federal funding to public schools? This is in the GOP platform.

Die Bundesregierung möchte übrigens im Rahmen der Kraftwerkstrategie 5GW Gaskraftwerke ausschreiben, gefördert über eine Umlage, die keine Vorgabe für eine Umstellung auf Wasserstoff bekommen, also bis 2045 Erdgas verstromen dürfen. Happy Klimakrise.

Ihr braucht diesen Leitartikel wirklich nicht lesen, ich hab’s getan, und die Aussage ist sinngemäß wirklich die, dass parteiübergreifende Wahlempfehlungen gegen die Faschos am Ende nur der AfD helfen, und dass man sie lieber auf dem Marktplatz der Ideen inhaltlich stellen und so entzaubern sollte 🥲

Es sind Szenen wie aus den 90ern: rechtsextremer Straßenterror inmitten Berlins. Am Samstag griffen mehr als 15 vermummte Neonazis mit Schlagstöcken Anreisende zu einer Demonstration gegen Rechts am Berliner Ostkreuz an. Es gab Schwerverletzte, die Polizei sucht nach Zeug*innen, Nazis jubilieren.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

Vague statements about how America is the greatest country in the world combined with technocratic details (no matter how accurate and consequential for the lives of ordinary Americans) just aren't, IMO, the kind of messaging that's going to break through.

Anyway, I'm just watching Biden's interview and am wishing he could make the case for himself in a way that could be heard by the 99% of his gettable voters who don't give a crap about Japan's budget or vague promises about the tax code.

Every day Donald Trump says that the people who don't for him are his enemies. He says he wants to get retribution against other Americans. No President has ever expressed such hatred toward his fellow Americans. I want to be the President for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

I've written for years about the Christian right's calls for "spiritual warfare" against demonic enemies of Christian America. They used to claim their struggle is against "powers and principalities" not "flesh and blood," citing Ephesians 6:12. But it was still dangerous. Now we see how.

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.
