#Germany hits back at Marco Rubio after he criticized labeling of #AfD as ‘extremist’

“This is #democracy. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that #RightWing #extremism needs to be stopped.”

AfD “aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to unconstitutional unequal treatment and thus to assign them a legally devalued status”.

It also said: “This exclusionary understanding of the people is the starting point and ideological basis for ongoing agitation against certain individuals or groups of people, through which they are defamed and despised indiscriminately and irrational fears and rejection are stirred up.”

FBI arrests Wisconsin judge and accuses her of obstructing immigration officials

#Dictatorship

The county circuit judge, Hannah #Dugan, was apprehended in the #courthouse where she works in #Milwaukee,# Wisconsin, at 8.30am local time on Friday on charges of obstruction, a spokesperson for the US Marshals Service confirmed to the Guardian.

Kash Patel, the #Trump-appointed FBI director, wrote on X: “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be #arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject – an illegal alien – to evade arrest.”

How Fascism Arrives ...

I sometimes fear that people think that #fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and #monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the #Nazis.

• Fascism arrives as your friend.
• It will restore your honour,
• make you feel proud,
• protect your house,
• give you a job,
• clean up the neighbourhood,
• remind you of how great you once were,
• clear out the venal and the corrupt,
• remove anything you feel is unlike you

It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

― Michael Rosen 2014

#FOSS community. How much did WE vote democratically for current #fascism trends, with the wallet of our ergonomic coding keyboards?

https://social.coop/@smallcircles/113908811338200792

#FOSS has failed as a concept. It's software ate the world.. and runs #BigTech #fascism now.

How much of our #WorkingInPublic and #SoftwareFreedom was gratis fundamental #innovation and applied #OpenScience, that is oh so bad for revenue. Gladly delegated to volunteer losers who can work on just #morals and values that're alien to #corpo?

Curtis Yarvin describes himself as a “dark elf” saving the know-nothing “hobbits” of the US public with an anti-democratic, pro-tech politics.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to Julia Black to understand how his popularity has grown and why tech billionaires are echoing his extreme ideas.

I won't go into details because they aren't mine to share, but a fash publication dropped dox (real name, location, years of internet history) on an antifascist member of the #fediverse today, based in large part on their activity on @kolektiva dot social and elsewhere on #Mastodon.

Just a reminder that the enemy is aware that we are gathered here and is watching us, and as we head into these dangerous times it's important to remember that. Think twice before posting anything here you wouldn't want linked to you in a court of law, for example. #SocialMedia #fascism #antifa #SecurityCulture #feditips

Your Twitter/X account is a microphone connected to a mixer controlled by a fascist. You can speak all you want. The fascist controls your volume and can mute you whenever he wants. And you might not even know you’ve been muted because you can still hear yourself in your headphones.

It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.
