Many Americans don't understand what's happening in France 🇫🇷🇪🇺. Yet a number of people are spreading revolution fantasies again. Because of what they THINK is happening in France, some appear to want 'shows of force' on American streets. This is misinformed, dangerous, and foolish.

New article! With the #Midterms approaching, I thought I would already turn to a subject that will soon be on America's mind: How to deal with everything that has happened. This is a delicate subject, and where - once again - I hope the German experience with fascism can help. Link ⬇️

SPD faction leader Katja Pähle handed Tobias Rausch - the new far-right AfD preseident of the state parliament - a copy of the German constitution and WHITE roses!

AfD member Tobias Rausch has been elected President to the Sachsen-Anhalt state parliament. The left-conservative BSW party made it possible. Four additional votes likely came from the CDU. All of the have betrayed German democracy by voting with a party full of fascists.

As the late, great, Nelson Mandela said: It always seems impossible until it's done. Centrists need to stop telling us progressive/left policies are impossible to implement. Mayor Mamdani keeps showing us they are not.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Many of you are afraid. That's why I like to remind people that fascism never acts out of actual bravery. Fascist leaders are always deeply insecure, and afraid of people with courage. This is how miserable they really are. The lot of them. Original: Kukryniksy, "The End", 1947

Period. The sheer stupidity of MAGA gets me every time. Every child here in Germany knows Hitler was everything but a socialist. The only ones who claim otherwise are the far right.

I won't advertise political candidates for the #Midterms as a German, because it's not my place to tell people what to vote. It is my place to call out fascism, though. And that's what I'll do.

It's the small things. Last month, I managed to funnel a contact from Minnesota to the Frankfurter Rundschau in Germany. People must hear about what's happening there. The paper now published an excellent interview covering ICE crimes and the trauma they bring. #USA #ICE

On July 4th, neo-fascists marched in D.C. under a flag glorifying segregation and slavery. The US never finished the job of creating a society that embraces racial justice. To start, it needs to enforce the Civil Rights Act and engage in a proper Reconstruction. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A must listen!!! How Trump hijacked the US's 250th birthday and turned it into an opportunity for ultra-right influence and grift. It also became a personal data harvesting opportunity and Christo-fascist propaganda machine. This is not what democracy looks like! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ydX...
