  1. #Heritage Foundation is a right wing think tank whose members are “animated by their Christianity,” according to Heritage president Kevin #Roberts.

    As you may have heard, the think tank has a sweeping plan for taking over (and in many cases dismantling) federal agencies in the event of a Republican presidential victory this year.

    The plan is called #Project2025.

    An underreported aspect of Project 2025 is the potential threat that it poses not only to the abortion #pill (which Project 2025 expressly opposes), but also to #birthcontrol, which many fundamentalist Catholics and evangelicals oppose based on their extremist interpretation of the Bible and belief that birth control encourages promiscuity and enables women to eschew their supposedly proper role as breeders and homemakers.

    As far back as 2016, Heritage objected to the requirement in the Affordable Health Care Act (AHCA) that health insurance plans cover the cost of birth control. (At the time, the #AHCA included no “religious belief” or “moral objection” exceptions to this requirement, but such exemptions were added in 2018.)

    In 2015, Heritage president Kevin #Roberts (a fundamentalist Catholic who was president of an orthodox Catholic college at the time) similarly challenged this aspect of the AHCA.

    It is thus unsurprising that Project 2025 and Heritage expressly oppose any effort to remove the AHCA’s “religious belief” and/or “moral objection” exceptions. (See Project 2025, pp. 483-484.)

    Reading between the lines, however, there is reason to suspect that Project 2025 may also pave the way for the Christian Right to remove birth control from the marketplace entirely.

    The plan specifically targets the Department of Health and Human Services, including the FDA, which is responsible both for approving drugs and for withdrawing drug approval due to safety concerns.

    Project 2025, for example, expressly calls for the FDA to withdraw its approval of #mifepristone (the abortion pill) under the pretext that it is “dangerous,” as discussed on page 458 of Project 2025.

    The Christian Right isn’t entirely clueless. They know they will lose races up and down the ballot if they expressly say that they plan to remove the birth control pill (aka “hormonal birth control”) from the market.

    If you look for it, though, you will notice that Christian fundamentalist publications and influencers, such as "Turning Point USA" (an official Project 2025 partner) and Candace #Owens, have begun messaging that hormonal birth control is “toxic,” “carcinogenic,” and otherwise “unsafe.”

    If a Republican president gives the Christian Right control of the FDA, we should expect them to use these purported health concerns as a pretext for withdrawing FDA approval

  11. Suelo comentar que hay producciones que tienen que existir. Solo así pueden llegar a alguien. También reflejar a alguien. Y suelo poner de ejemplo Flor del desierto (2009), un largometraje justo en calidad al que vale la pena asomarse. Mejor eso que nada.

    Otras películas existen y, además, carecen de grandes defectos. Ahí está Sorda (en femenino, no confundir con la cinta de Cortés-Cavanillas).

    Eva Libertad debuta en el largo minutaje (teniendo Sorda una duración felizmente asequible de las que ya no se recuerdan) desde el plano familiar. A saber: la historia parte de uno de sus cortos previos, la protagonista es su hermana Miriam y los espacios domésticos, con más o menos gente, albergan la acción.

    Miriam y Eva hacen tándem, lo que narra Sorda podrían haberlo vivido ellas, cada una desde su condición, protagonizando o estando presentes. O haber acaecido en su entorno. Seguro que hay bastante de eso. Lo que ensalza el valor de Sorda como ficción al ponerla frenta a frente con la realidad. No es un documental pero tiene su verdad. Porque una ficción puede ser espejo y ventana a la vez. Tal poder tienen.

    Así lo han entendido en la Academia, nominando a las hermanas y a Álvaro Cervantes, cuya implicación para encarnar al oyente Héctor sobresale. Sorda se sostiene sobre este trípode artístico (con perdón de Irureta).

    Sorda habla de la zona de confort, la de les oyentes, que expulsan a sordes de su alrededor o les obligan a leer labios pero rara vez se plantean aprender a signar. Violencias pasivas que se ejercen y se sufren. Alienación.

    Es Ángela quien nos lo muestra gracias al talento innato de Garlo y a la imaginativa dirección de cámaras de Libertad, que elimina y trae el sonido en escenas clave para ayudarnos a empatizar con Ángela... y para hacernos tragar un sorbo de nuestro remedio. Sienta bien que siente mal.

  12. Necrotum – Defleshed Exhumation Review

    By Steel Druhm

    I cannot claim familiarity or history with Romanian death metal act Necrotum, but the promo sump was shallow in January and an album title like Defleshed Exhumation was sure to catch the eye of Steel even in more target-rich environs. This is the band’s third full-length effort and it features a sound sitting at the crossroads of tech/prog/OSDM. Their earlier releases were much more traditional caveman death, but here on Defleshed, it seems like the boys wanted to stretch themselves and try some new things. This newfound progressive leaning gives the material a heavy, yet unpredictable style, like classic Suffocation mixed with the latest Tomb Mold. The template is quite promising, but can these old school dogs learn enough new tricks to keep things interesting and under control or will the wheels come off the death bus with no one around to Asphyx them?

    Leading the charge with very downtuned guitars, opener “Warped in Entrails” (yes, I thought it should be “wrapped” too) comes out swinging and tries to bulldoze you into a mass grave with heavy grooves accented by fancy time signatures and frequent tempo shifts. There are bits of classic Cryptopsy in the sound and the band can play their instruments well, with an enjoyable lunacy and exuberance to the music, but little of it sticks. “Noxious Breeze” tries to walk that delicate line between straight-up brutal death and proggy/techy fare and falls off both sides along the way, though the flashes of Nile-esque guitar noodling are quite cool. When they restain their proggy impulses and shove heavy, ugly grooves up your Hersey highway as they do on “Dissolved in the Flesh Pits,”1 things get slightly more memorable, and the uber-low, burly riffs sometimes smack like Dying Fetus. “Mouldered Orb” is also a touch more immediate, though not exactly hooky.

    Unfortunately, roughly half of Defleshed Exhumation leaves me staring vacantly at the walls of my office/holding cell. Cuts like “Shattered Flow of Time” and “Psychotic Apparations” are stock standard examples of tech death without much to trigger replays, and the album ends with a needless cover of Demigod’s “As I Behold I Despise.” Considering the album is just over 36 minutes, the fact they needed a cover to pad it out is troubling. Had I been asked to guess the album length, I would have said it ran much longer, which is generally not a good omen. The production is fine for the style though, with the guitars delivering a very low-end, oppressive impact, crushing your fat face from can-see to can’t-see. There’s a nice heavy punch to the drum sound as well.

    This is a talented trio who have command of their instruments. Robert Brezean’s guitar work is impressive and he manages to cast off all manner of herky-jerky, jitter-inducing leads as well as the big, road-paving grooves. Alex Tampu is a fury behind the kit, doing everything he can to propel the music through your skull, and Filip Garlonta’s vocals are appropriately guttural and sick, though very one-note. Unfortunately, these individually solid pieces don’t come together often enough to form memorable songs. They try to do too much too often and the songs end up too cluttered and frenetic. Also bringing the album down are the downtuned guitars that make the material resemble deathcore pablum and this becomes tiring by the album’s halfway point.

    Necrotum have talent and potential and their earlier works are quite entertaining, but the switch from more basic OSDM to the flashy, proggy style here hasn’t done them any favors. There’s a good EP buried in Defleshed Exhumation, but wrenching it out would require more effort than I’m willing to expend. I’ll keep an eye on what the band does going forward but my time will be spent with their early platters, not this one. Hardened tech death fiends may get greater mileage from this than I did though. Guard those Necrotums, boys.
