"The real story isn’t young men supposedly voting far right."

Young women are drifting further to the left, and are more likely not to vote than young men if parties don't cater to them. Centre parties drifting to the right are shedding progressive voters while failing to pick up the the rightwing voters they are seeking, who have other even more extremist parties to go to.

Fine by me, it’s a crap bill for the people.

#FarRight #Republicans on the #House #Budget Cmte on Friday blocked their own party’s megabill from reaching the floor, citing concerns that the #legislation to fulfill #Trump’s domestic agenda would add too much to the #deficit.

5 Republicans—Chip Roy (TX), Ralph Norman (SC), Josh Brecheen (OK), Andrew Clyde (GA), & Lloyd Smucker (PA)—joined #Democrats in voting against the legislation 16 to 21.

#BenCohen from #BenAndJerrys disrupts #RFKjrHearing and was violently removed from hearing along with other protesters as he said,' Congress pays for bombs that kill citizens in #Gaza 🇵🇸... '

If I'm wrong correct me, but if I heard it correctly on #DemocracyNow, the rest of his statement was about how Congress kills citizens in Gaza whilst allowing #Medicaid cuts to kill people in the U.S.

If there's anyone in the United States who knows a person working for the #CapitolPolice, sternly tell them that it's the #farright U.S. Nazi Party and their #MAGAMorons (#J6) who are their enemies, not unarmed 74 year old Ben Cohen and unarmed protesters!

If my granddad were treated like Cohen, I'd give what-for!

JN is usually too rightwing for me to post and I'm sure I disagree politically with this author on many 5 this comes close to nailing a phenomenon I am also seeing.

"It should be perfectly possible to deplore the terrible situation in #Gaza while recognising that there are those who are seeking to capitalise on this tragedy to pump #antisemitism into the mainstream body politic.

A whole host of #farright #antisemitic social media personalities, for example, have successfully seized on the terrible situation in Gaza to significantly grow their reach."

Ingrassia, Cauley & Martin are not the only #Trump admin officials connected to #antisemitic #extremists.

Before becoming #FBI director, #KashPatel appeared 8 separate times on a podcast hosted by #FarRight #ConspiracyTheorist #StewPeters, who promotes #HolocaustDenial. Peters posted a photo of himself holding #Hitler's #MeinKampf w/the message "visionary leadership." In recent days, he attacked the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, w/antisemitic vitriol.

#Musk's embrace of #FarRight #politics in #Europe, & his work as #Trump's ally, cutting federal jobs & humanitarian aid, have alienated #Tesla's largely liberal customer base. It also prompted global protests, &, acc/to data, a record number of trade-ins.
Musk himself holds there is no pullback in demand other than some caused by broader economic concerns. Tesla finance chief Vaibhav Taneja said last month that "unwanted hostility towards our brand & our people had an impact in certain markets."

Germany has banned an extremist far-right organisation linked to the so-called "Reichsbürger" (Citizens of the Reich) movement and carried out dawn raids on its properties and leaders' homes, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.

Hundreds of security forces across several German states searched properties associated with the self-styled "Königreich Deutschland" (Kingdom of Germany) group, and arrested four of its leading members, according to the government.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the organisation's 6,000 members had created a "counter-state" in Germany and "built up economic criminal structures".

The group underpinned its supposed claim to power with antisemitic conspiracy narratives, according to Dobrindt, who said Germany would not tolerate such behaviour."
