Efforts to undermine the #judiciary come at the same time the #Trump admin has moved to fire lawyers inside the #DOJ & the #Pentagon, penalize private law firms who represented clients Trump does not like, & to back away from participation in the activities of the #ABA.
Congressional #Republicans close to the president even have proposed #impeachment proceedings against a few of those judges, who serve for life.
#ElonMusk, who oversees #DOGE making cuts to federal agencies, himself has repeatedly posted on social media about impeaching #judges who delay or block parts of #Trump's agenda.

Previously: Politicians, especially those who grew up in the digital age, have repeatedly learned the hard lesson that you can never truly delete anything from the web.

The @ProPublica / Frontline investigation into how "Terrorgram" chats groomed a teenager into murdering #LGBTQIA people is horrifying, but so important.

How the Terrorgram Collective’s Neo-Nazi Influencers Groomed a Teen to Kill
—
The murders of two people outside an LGBTQ+ bar at first looked like the act of a lone shooter. A ProPublica and FRONTLINE investigation shows they were, in fact, the culmination of a coordinated, international recruiting effort by online extremists.

AfD hate goes viral: how the German far right mastered TikTok.
Germany's AfD has leveraged TikTok as a key tool in its political strategy, flooding the platform with catchy, populist posts whose virality has strengthened the party's far-right discourse among a younger demographic.
It is critical that we remember. We must. stand up and resist if we are to prevent this from repeating. Trump, the MAGA movement, and the far Right are hurting people for political gain.
New today from Joelle DiPaolo: This Fort Worth state rep spends another session waging a “spiritual battle” in the Texas House, with bad bills and incessant posting. Part of an occasional series profiling the #Texas lawmakers who make up the fringe of an already woefully fringe-y lege. https://www.texasobserver.org/nate-schatzline-drag-lege-2025/

This #BlueOrigin "first all-female flight crew" is a disgusting #wealth stunt. Do not promote it. It's vile. They are not a crew. They know nothing about spaceflight. They are a tool.
Bezos and his oligarch class are assisting with the end of American democracy and instituting a regime that places women in a subclass (already true but the plan is to make it far worse). If you are a woman they are working hard to destroy your freedom and your life. And the politicians they purchased yet are now servile to believe women are objects to be enslaved. #oligarchy #extremism #misogyny #space
Tiffany Justice, of #MomsForLiberty, touted the launch of the portal, highlighting it as an opportunity for parents to push back against "critical [race] theory, *rogue* sex education, & *divisive* ideologies." She added: "Now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools."
The portal, called EndDEI.ed.gov [yes, that’s an official dot gov address], debuted w/a press release that featured no govt authorities, but rather a quote from a co-founder of the reactionary group #MomsForLiberty, which is infamous for its anti-#LGBTQ+ activism & links to #RightWing #militant groups like the #ProudBoys.

Bombshell Documents obtained under Freedom of Information Act from Victoria Police have revealed that Victoria Police Command knew that Nazi Protestors were planning to join “in support of the Let Women Speak group” almost an hour prior to their now infamous Nazi Salute “in support of” Kellie-Jay Keen on Parliament Steps in 2023. Raising serious questions about the intention of Victoria Police in dealing with the threat of #extremism.
However, #US VP #JDVance at the #MunichSecurityConference earlier this month said there is no room for firewalls in a *#democracy*.
Last month conservative leader Friedrich #Merz break a post-war taboo by relying on #AfD votes to push through a non-binding motion on tightening #immigration. Some critics say this broke the 'firewall', others say the firewall only applies to forming governments.
