Miosga-Redaktion nennt die AfD eine "Partei mit umstrittenen Positionen". Das ist der Stand 2026: Die Normalisierung ist so weit fortgeschritten, dass Rechtsextremismus im ÖRR als "umstritten" bezeichnet wird. Und nicht etwa als etwas, das Demokrat*innen entschieden ablehnen und bekämpfen müssen.

Die "Caren #Miosga"- Redaktion hat mir schnell geantwortet. Bin nun umso mehr irritiert: #Rechtsextremismus darf für Demokrat:innen niemals "umstritten" sein, sondern ist selbstverständlich mit klarer Haltung abzulehnen. Egal in wie vielen Parlamenten Rechtsextremist:innen sitzen. #noAfD #ARD

The Epstein case continues to threaten prominent figures around the globe—yet the latest files could topple British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a way they've not affected American politicians, Idrees Kalhoon argues:
British Politicians Still Have Shame
The Epstein case keeps threatening politicians—just not in the United States.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced legal action against the Houston area Screwston Antifascist Committee, alleging commission of terrorism and doxing. Their account has been quiet for some time, but this was one of their last posts — identifying a neo-Nazi.
Attorney General Ken Paxton Takes Legal Action Against Houston-Based Antifa Organization Engaged in Doxing and the Commission of Terrorism AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated legal action against Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee ("Screwston"), an Antifa-affiliated unincorporated nonprofit association, for potentially violating Texas law. "Radical leftists have engaged in coordinated efforts to militantly attack our nation and undermine the rule of law. Screwston and related ted groups have illegally doxed Texans ans and encouraged violent terrorism against fellow citizens," said Attorney General Paxton. "These deranged traitors will face the full force of law. No stone will e left unturned, and no tool will be left unused." be The investigation aims to determine the exact nature of Screwston's involvement in unlawful activity, including aiding in the commission of terrorism and "doxing," in violation of Texas law. The organization is self- admittedly affiliated with Antifa, which has been designated by President Donald Trump as a terrorist organization. Additionally, reported members of Screwston affiliates recently participated in an armed assault on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. Merchandise sold by the group promotes the death of ICE agents and encourages violence by mentally ill "transgender" individuals. As part of the investigation, Attorney General Paxton has issued a Request to Examine to Screwston, which is a legal demand for records and documents that will be used to identify the scope of legal violations committed by the organization.

Lange hieß es, Soziolog*innen, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftler*innen würden am Ende nur noch Taxi fahren können.

Jetzt wissen wir, die Entwertung dieser Fächer hatte oft andere, ideologische Gründe. Wir sind ein zentraler Bestandteil der Erhaltung einer Demokratie.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.
The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

What a disgrace.

ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.

This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.
