This is a BIG decision, which will undoubtedly get a legal follow-up.

It allows not only state surveillance but could also hinder the growing normalization, as public sector employees cannot be members of “extreme right” organizations.

The AfD came second in Germany's February elections and has a record number of seats in the new parliament.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime.

This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month.

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor:

“Let's get in good trouble."

What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
