«This week, the Senate may pass a bill granting the executive branch extraordinary power to investigate and strip nonprofits of tax-exempt status based on a unilateral accusation of wrongdoing.»
Democrats have a narrow majority in the US Senate. tell me again how exactly are Democrats proving they are antifascist?
Ma'ariv newspaper describes the situation as: There is a new prime minister in “Israel”.
They add that in practice, Benjamin Netanyahu has become the servant of his master, Itamar #BenGvir, and this raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated?
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir appeared in front of the cameras a few days ago while leaving the Prime Minister’s Office, acting Prime Minister, and announced in an unambiguous tone: “I warned the Prime Minister that we will not enter #Rafah, nor will there is an illegal deal.
The Prime Minister heard the words, and promised that "Israel" would enter Rafah, and promised that the war would continue, and promised that there would be no illegal deal.
These words and tone of voice leave no room for doubt in the heart of every listener. There is a new prime minister in the State of #Israel.
This raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated? It has reached the point where even a response from a prime minister, in order to preserve his dignity, is not uttered.
Netanyahu, despite thousands of disagreements, knows what the majority of the people want: the release of detainees, and he also knows what is important and useful to the people.
But he follows Ben Gvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, because that is what is good politically for Netanyahu for obvious reasons.
Also, they do deserve some credit. #IndianaJones fights and despises #nazis and #fascism, and in the 2 of the movies the main quests are after artifacts that arguably are part of his own culture and heritage (Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail).
Seen the rubble, the buildings,
the mothers and the children
And all the men that you murdered,
and then we see how you spin it... https://yewtu.be/watch?v=fgDQyFeBBIo
the fact that Brasil prosecuted #Bolsonaro for his election interference (before his coup attempt) before #Trump tells you why +16 years of antifascist governments in #Brasil were absolutely needed.
as i have said before, am going to say again: Kissinger's Operation Condor in Latin America is proof that USA's #1 export is #fascism.
"Here is a difficult truth: A part of the American political spectrum is not merely a passive recipient of the combined authoritarian narratives that come from Russia, China, and their ilk, but an active participant in creating and spreading them."
@wdlindsy I'm listening to this audiobook on youtube: a breakdown of Nazi Germany's 1920, 25 Point Program that became the mandate of the Third Reich.
It was a mixture of #fascism, #antiSemitism, and the "German Workers' Party" #socialism. The combination, with the fatal authoritarian doctrine, gave #Hitler unchecked power.
It parallels the GOP-2.0 under Trump following Hitler's playbook. See #Project2025: #Trump with those powers. #MAGA
By regularly using vicious tropes about #undocumentedImmigrants and other domestic enemies within, #Trump is trying to acclimate voters to the ugliest forms of #authoritarian, dehumanizing language.
#Capitalism support "democracy" only as long as the democratic elements do not hinder their profitability.
When these democratic elements threaten the power of the capitalist class, capital always turns to #fascism.
“Arolsen Archives remembers the Nazi persecution, the Holocaust and the consequences of the crimes. The basis of this work are millions of documents about the victims of National Socialism.”
Quite the mind fuck being an American Jew and descendant of Holocaust survivors right now, as nazis and republicans call Jewish protesters “antisemitic.” I don’t blame anyone for being confused by it all. Just know that your Jewish friends have been angry about it for a long time. And remember that anyone claiming to speak for all Jews probably isn’t.
We have long watched as the worst people use us as an excuse to enact their power fantasies. Please don’t believe them when they do.
"I live in the country that murdered my ancestors and now abuses my identity to support and excuse the murder of others, this experience is truly the lowest point in my life as a Jewish person. The Nazis are cheering and using the Jews as their pompoms." https://x.com/Deborah_Feldman/status/1775858411323679227
Report: Pastor testifies on the reason evangelicals support Republicans: We “made a deal with the devil”
"That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda," says Robert Schenck and they would give us Roe. Taking rights away from half the population.
In that meeting that I participated in, the conversation went something like this: 'You guys want Roe v. Wade overturned, we can do that for you, but you take the whole enchilada, you take the whole thing,"' he said. "You take everything else that comes with it. Because if you want Roe gone, you have to work with us."
"From that point on that community that I had served, and still do, made a deal with the devil," he said. "That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda, whether or not we had conscientious conflict with them.
Christian Nationalists Are Trying to Gaslight You.
Christian nationalism is a threat to both democracy and Christianity. The gaslighting is just a strategy designed to advance that threat.
Christian nationalism –in the contemporary American context – is an attempt to merge American identity with Christian identity. It is “less accurate to think of Christian nationalism as a coherent belief system than as a movement; a joint venture between religious and political actors seeking power.” Two corrupt groups join forces to take over American government. The fascist have captured the #scotus corrupt court.
