Have you heard of Sarah Moore Grimké, born on this date in 1792? I hadn’t until a few years ago, which is a shame. A wise woman of compassion, courage, & conviction, she & her sister, Angelina, born into a wealthy family of enslavers in Charleston, SC, were far ahead of their time (as was Angelina’s husband, Theodore Weld). And in many respects, given recent appalling developments, also far ahead of our own…

🚨 This #HeatherCoxRichardson interview with #ChristianeAmanpour from July 3 remains my pinned post (unfortunately) and it bears repeating!
Dr. Richardson begins by discussing the unconscionable end-of-session #CorruptSCOTUS rulings, then talks about the notorious (& ill-conceived, grossly misconducted) debate. But I’m beginning it at the 5:00 mark, when she begins describing the ramifications of replacing the incumbent President Biden in the campaign:

More reprehensible, dangerous disinformation from the MAGA ☠️ cult. Subject matter experts & those in positions of trust & authority need to speak out & stand up to these vile bullies!
"’What you see is a pattern of fear & neglect of professional responsibilities across the state, in part because of the fear of this governor & the vindictiveness of this governor," said Goldhagen, a former health department director in Jacksonville.”

“He [Trump] is looking for obedience. This…shocks him about 🇺🇸 generals… that they swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the president…
…a wide swathe of people who worked in the nat’l security area, from John Bolton to H.R. McMaster to many others, have expressed…concern that the guardrails will be off next time and…Trump will try to do the things that he wasn't ‘allowed to do’ in the first go-around.
They're extremely worried about it…”

I admit I’m cheating a bit using the #FensterFreitag and #WindowFriday hashtags with this, but it’s the view through our bedroom window, so doesn’t that count a *little* bit? ☺️

Also time to revisit Lawrence Britt’s “14 Characteristics of Fascism”, written in 2003 after studying the #fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, & Pinochet.
Emphasis on #9 given this latest #SCOTUS outrage…
“9. Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial & business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the govt leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/govt relationship & power elite.”

“Enemies of the People” - important piece from #JeffSharlet …
“I’m not going to spend much time on what NYT, WaPo, & cable news get wrong. That’s important work, but more pressing now than identifying the unwitting biases & banalities of news media that is mostly in rapid retrenchment, is boosting the work that’ll help us grasp this frightening moment—the better to stop #fascism & imagine democratic futures.”

“…the strategy [in Ukraine] that matters most for the Kremlin is not the military strategy, but rather the spread of disinformation that causes the West to back away & allow Russia to win… In this case, in addition to seeding the idea that Ukraine cannot win & that the Russian invasion was justified, the Kremlin is exploiting divisions already roiling U.S. politics.”

“In…1942… #JDSalinger was drafted into the army, where he saw combat w/the 12th Inf. Reg’t, 4th Inf. Div. He was at #UtahBeach on #D-Day, in the Battle of the Bulge, & the Battle of Hürtgen Forest.
In Apr 1945 he entered Kaufering IV concentration camp, a subcamp of #Dachau. Hospitalized…for combat stress reaction after 🇩🇪 was defeated, [he] later told his daughter: ‘You never really get the smell of burning flesh out of your nose entirely, no matter how long you live.’”

A fun & interesting article. I had no idea what the soldier nutcracker symbolized (& now have a new appreciation for mine!) nor that a nutcracker flew aboard the International Space Station!

#Project2025 — “it’s Mein Kampf meets The Handmaid’s Tale meets 1984, all rolled up into one big christofascist wet dream — and make no mistake: every fucking Republican is totally on board with it.”

The latest, blatant example of journalistic malpractice (or what #JeffTiedrich referred to as a “journalistic war crime”) by the increasingly fascistic & abhorrent NYT.
Trump, for anyone living under a rock, IS a felon, convicted on all 34 counts by a jury of 12 of his fellow citizens. The Biden Campaign didn’t “paint him” as anything, any more than a meteorologist “paints” a 100° day as hot. Biden’s ad merely states what he objectively, provably is.

Today would have been Molly Ivins’ 80th birthday. I miss her…
“Listen to the people who are talking about how to fix what's wrong,
not the ones who just work people into a snit over the problems.
Listen to the people who have ideas about how to fix things,
not the ones who just blame others.”

“The insurrectionists at the Capitol were not patriots. They were trying to overthrow the government in order to take away the right at the center of American democracy: our right to determine our own destiny. Commemorating them as heroes is the 21st century’s version of erecting Confederate statues.”
