  1. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents: it may be understandable that a Nazi or Bolshevik will not be shaken in his conviction by crimes against people who do not belong to the movement or are even hostile to it; but the amazing fact is that neither is he likely to waver when the monster begins to devour its own children, and not even if he becomes a victim of persecution himself, if he is framed and condemned, if he is purged from the party and sent to a forced-labor or concentration camp. On the contrary, to the wonder of the whole civilized world, he may even be willing to help in his own prosecution and frame his own death sentence if only his status as a member of the movement is not touched.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

  2. #Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.

    #Virginians spoke and deliberated under their influence as well. They took for granted that they, the people of the #commonwealth, had an absolute right to amend their #Constitution as they saw fit. A narrow, #partisan majority of the State #SupremeCourt believes that the people overstepped their bounds.

  3. Check this guy's credits, he's the real deal. "We’re not just in a constitutional crisis. We’re in a corruption crisis. And the Supreme Court isn’t the solution. It’s the heart of the problem."
    Gives steps, how to fight: 1) Stop calling SCOTUS neutral, or thinking they'll save us. 2) Stop calling Tr^mp judges conservative. 3) Tell #Congress to fight.

The #GOP is a corrupt & #Hate filled crime organization destroying America. There is no justification for voting #Republican. The #GOP is the #AmericanTaliban lead by a senile, old, #Nazi #pedophile.

  11. Fabio De Masi war mal ein ganz guter Angeordneter der Linken. Dann trat er aus, ging zum BSW und hofiert nun den rechten 'Nachrichten'-sender NIUS, um für sich, als künftigem Parteivorsitzenden des BSW, zu werben.

    Sein italienischer Großvater kämpfte als Partisan im Piemont für die Befreiung Italiens vom Faschismus, und würde sich vermutlich im Grab umdrehen, wenn er wüsste, mit wem sein Enkel gemeinsame Sache macht.

    Den Auftritt verlinke ich nicht, wer es sich antun will, findet es schnell selbst

  14. On the U.S. Supreme Court
    —Chief Justice John Roberts and his Republican majority have spent decades systematically dismantling the guardrails of American democracy.

    Itself the product of unprecedented norm-breaking
    —encouraged by a fifty-year special interest campaign designed to weaponize the judicial branch
    —it is the Roberts majority that has hastened our endemic institutional collapse.

    We can draw a straight line, for example,
    from the Roberts Court’s 2010 #Citizens #United decision, which invalidated Congress’s bipartisan campaign finance limits on the farcical premise that independent expenditures could not be corrupting,
    to the imminent shadow presidency of erratic mega-billionaire Elon Musk, Trump’s biggest outside spender. 

    Citizens United set the stage for the proliferation of political nonprofits and the establishment of #Super #PACs,
    giving oligarchs like Musk a megaphone loud enough to drown out ordinary voters.

    The decision turbocharged Trump’s rise, allowing his allies to flood the airwaves with disinformation and propaganda,
    meanwhile trapping Democrats in a system of corporate-funded campaigns that has eroded their ability to represent the working class.

    Three years later, in #Shelby #County v.#Holder, John Roberts completed his career-long vision quest to dismantle the Voting Rights Act,
    invalidating its preclearance requirement for states with a history of racial discrimination.

    Erasing the national consensus first achieved in the bloody crucible of the Civil Rights Era
    and repeatedly reaffirmed by near-unanimous bipartisan Congresses, Roberts deemed racial discrimination a relic of ancient history,
    declaring that “nearly 50 years later, things have changed dramatically.”

    A flood of Republican state voter suppression laws followed, funded, and orchestrated by the same interests to which Roberts owed his majority.

    “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet,”
    Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg warned in her searing Shelby County dissent.

    But soaking us was the whole point.
    The downpour continues.

    Final results for the 2024 House elections were tallied recently, and Republicans will owe a razor-thin 220-215 majority to the three seats the GOP flipped thanks to the North Carolina legislature’s brazenly partisan gerrymander,
    a move blessed by the Supreme Court’s Republican justices’ 2018 decision in #Rucho v. #Common #Cause.

    In that case, the Roberts Court
    —so power-hungry that leading legal scholars have dubbed it the “Imperial Court”
    —conveniently found that #partisan #gerrymandering,
    -- a practice dominated by norms-be-damned Republican state legislatures,
    -- presented a “political question” that was outside their purview to resolve.

  15. Staggering stupidity. There is another hurricane (just changed to Category 5) barreling towards Florida
    & additional FEMA funds may not be available due to partisan politics from Mike Johnson??? How will the Republicans explain THAT to their own party's affected voters? Horrendous situation for those needing help from last week's hurricane & this new one.

    GROWING #PARTISAN MOVEMENT IN #RUSSIA: SABOTAGE IN #KURSK & #CRIMEA. Vlog 821: War in #Ukraine

    The Ukrainian and #CrimeanTatar resistance movement #Atesh carried out a sabotage operation on a major #railway line in russia’s Kursk Oblast, according to its report on Telegram on Sept. 30. A relay cabinet was blown up on a "strategically important railway line," which is crucial for supplying the russian army with equipment and ammunition in ... ⬇️

  17. On Wed #StevenCheung said the employee “initiated physical contact that was unwarranted & unnecessary.” [wrong - you were breaking the rules & the #law]

    Cheung also said the #Trump #campaign would release footage to support his claim but has not. They did, however, post a TikTok of the event on Wed — exactly what #military ofcls tried to prevent. The use of the footage marked a flagrant violation of the #law against #partisan actions at #MilitaryCemeteries, #Defense said.
