That popular Hollywood movie depiction of Nazis usually skipped over how obsessed with weird ancient pagan cosplay batshit insane most senior Nazis were

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 11h

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

"The Meloni government's equal opportunities minister has criticized school trips to Auschwitz, which she says unfairly equate anti-Semitism with the far right. This has reignited the heated debate on this notion in Italy's political landscape."

« La ministre [italienne] de l’égalité des chances du gouvernement Meloni a critiqué les voyages scolaires à Auschwitz, qui, selon elle, associent injustement l’antisémitisme à l’extrême droite. »

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 21h

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

If you think the Holocaust didn't exist you're not exactly likely to treat Jews completely fairly other than that...and under certain circumstances surely it counts as incitement?

Holocaust denial isn't just a free speech thing though? It was explicitly pushed by nazis with the aim of making nazism acceptable again.

Christopher Columbus himself was a monster, but Columbus Day was instituted in 1892 to combat rising anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic bigotry after the lynching of eleven Italian-Americans. The same revanchists defending Columbus Day as "part of our US heritage" in 2025 would have opposed it in 1892.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

More exciting ways in which the UK is alienating itself from its closest neighbours & partners by just being really, really, brutally rightwing.
