Waarom we zo bang moeten zijn voor de Heritage Foundation, inmiddels heeft deze enge club ook z’n klauwen in de EU uitgezet.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

"Objectivity is not the same as neutrality. If there is a liar & an honest person, a corrupt individual & an honourable one, then your task is to describe that clearly & forcefully. I’m sick of those who believe in reporting both sides’ versions, when you know that one side isn’t telling the truth."

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Look at this and reconsider Trump’s claim that Putin wouldn’t have dared to invade if Trump were president.
He clearly would have.
Putin isn’t afraid of Trump because Trump is weak and compromised

Marc Chavannes: "GOP slaagt al jaren in het hergroeperen van kiesdistricten om stemlokalen in arme wijken te sluiten. Dems hebben moeite om hun achterban überhaupt te laten stemmen. Amerika is geen democratie. Het is onder Trump een kleptocratie geworden, en een autocratie in de maak." (Sep 2020)

Vorig jaar nog stuurden 50 VVD-wethouders een brandbrief naar de Tweede Kamer-fractie van de #VVD met de oproep te kappen met bezuinigen op gemeenten.
Maar nu is het opeens de ‘schuld van links’ dat het niet goed gaat met gemeenten, aldus de VVD. Ach, het is zo sneu en doorzichtig.

This David French article shows the analytic peril of ignoring the way normal policing and repression work in communities of color. The so-called "dual state" he's highlighting (laws applied unequally, non-compliance met with violence) is *exactly* what Black Lives Matter was protesting.
