Unfortunately I don‘t have the skills to do it myself, but if I did I‘d make a video of Eric Schmitt being a ludicrous buffoon at the Jack Smith hearing, but with Wheatus‘ “Teenage Dirtbag“ as the soundtrack.

If you‘re an American living outside the US, tomorrow‘s the day, get yer vote on.
@lazyb0y if the AfD-ler thought they could suppress an idea, let them find themselves surrounded by it, everywhere.
@lazyb0y nothing in the above is meant to support anything else about Merz‘ politics. I agree with you that he‘s made a similar mistake that politicians in the US and elsewhere have made, by suggesting that the fascists are maybe sorta kinda halfway right, rather than rejecting their inhuman program in fullness.
But he was right about “remigration“, if only just this once. Most importantly, the AfD‘s defamation action is just the kind of thing authoritarians do.
The German fascist party AfD has filed a criminal defamation complaint against Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for saying that "the word 'remigration' is nothing other than a synonym for ethnic cleansing based on origin and skin color" before the Bundestag.
Dear Fediverse, I've never asked for boosts, but it's time to flood the zone. Put it in your own words if you prefer. Spread it everywhere.

Sunset over Lake Ontario, seen from my cousin‘s place on the New York State side. One of the most beautiful sights I‘ve ever known.
Our top priority these days shouldn‘t be fighting off a fascist dystopia, we should be working to stop the climate catastrophe. Nepalis did not cause and do not deserve to suffer from the negligence of the rest of us. I live in Germany, where heat-related deaths this year have been estimated at 14,000.
The climate deniers are a death cult. Vote them out.

The right wingers in the US have lost their collective minds, but they‘ve been far better at propaganda than the left wing for a long time.
I am convinced that Democrats lost in 2024 because they were worse at informing their voters than the right was at disinforming theirs.
Democratic leaders are foolishly stubborn about abandoning strategies that have failed us, again and again for years. We need stop asking them to shape up, and replace them.
Groveling, needy, and stark raving mad.
“You are all that matters to me. I don’t ever want to let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this life.“
“And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more.“
We‘re going fash because about 25% of us want to be subjugated.

“Tolerance“ and “acceptance“ - for minorities, immigrants, women, LGBTQ, all of the less privileged - are no longer enough. That‘s the floor, not the ceiling. What we need now more than ever is *solidarity*.
“Acceptance alone doesn’t defend a clinic, or an ESL classroom, or a trans kid, or a union. Showing up does.“
We get there by winning in November.

The Epstein Ballroom seems like a frivolous side show, but it‘s one of many ways to test the waters of fascism. Congress, not the president, has the power to make such a change, and by flouting the law he‘s trying to normalize ordering whatever he wants. That‘s the conceit of a dictator.
In November let‘s elect a Congress that will stop the madness.

Srsly? Anyone else feel like we‘re not getting the whole story here?
All my instincts say that TFG personally came up with the catering truck maneuver, because he saw something like it on TV and thought he‘d feel like James Bond, and he ordered his security detail to arrange it.
And that they told him no we can do this much more easily and safely, but then he threw a tantrum, so they indulged him.
In a democracy, we the people decide our future — not unelected, unaccountable, brazenly fascist techbro CEOs whose decisions are flat-out deranged.
AI is gonna do this and that, they decree — destroy our jobs, replace our art, burn down the planet, and there‘s nothing anyone can do about it.
Yes there is. Vote this November and take back our future.

I hadn‘t come across the expression “sewer socialism“ before. As it goes when you hang a new word on something (at which @pluralistic himself is famously skillful) — you had a sense of what it was and what it‘s good for, but what a difference it makes when you have a name for it, that you can point to, talk about, and describe in depth.
More sewer socialism please, in every community, everywhere in the world.
Before we worry about religious fundamentalism anywhere in the world, we Americans should push back against the radical Christian nationalism in the US. The threat of Project 2025 is being made more real every day. On some measures, over 50% of its domestic policy agenda has been put in place.
November is our chance, maybe our last chance.

They ravaged SNAP so that the rich get richer, and now states are on the hook for more of its costs, as much as 15% of the food aid itself. Over 4.5 million Americans have lost SNAP support.
Worldwide, USAID cuts have been estimated to cause over 500,000 deaths per year, possibly up to 22 million by 2030.
Stop the madness. This November, vote them out.
