Liebe FAZ, der Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD als gesichert rechtsextremistisch ein. Ihr macht daraus: Wer ein Verbot will, hat nur an der Wahlurne verloren. So wird aus einem Befund ein Meinungskampf und aus Rechtsextremismus eine Meinung. Das ist fahrlässig und gefährlich verharmlosend.

👇 this is a very good summary of all the anti-trans positions Newsom has taken:
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ja, amerikanische Verhältnisse in Deutschland zu verhindern, heißt natürlich, die AfD zu verbieten, aber es heißt auch, Dobrindt auf die Finger zu klopfen, wenn er mal wieder Palantir-Software kaufen will und die Gotham-Installationen in Hessen, NRW, Bayern und BaWü von den Rechnern zu schmeißen.

But you see, these AREN’T the only 7 Democrats who supported giving ICE more money. The Democrats OVERALL support it. These 7 are just the latest rotating villains selected to take the fall while the rest pretend to oppose to fundraise. That’s why it’s always EXACTLY enough Dem support votes to pass
these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Please do this. As a chair in a deep red district we need tons of help building a real party and you will have considerable influence.
If you are:
-a leftist
-who does not like the DNC
-and lives in a red district
-that is rural or suburban
I encourage you to check out your local Dems and maybe get involved. Red districts are often ignored by national Dems; you may have more influence to push left locally than you think.

Last week, I looked into the record of the federal prosecutor in Minnesota who was leading the work on the Somali daycare fraud case.
He struck me as a straight shooter, not a partisan hack.
Well here's confirmation: He has quit after DOJ pressure to investigate Renee Good's widow. (#giftlink 🎁)

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
