The International Auschwitz Committee is calling for a ban on Germany’s Far Right AfD, Der Spiegel reports.
Eva Umlauf, an Auschwitz survivor and the committee’s President, said the AfD attacks democracy and uses Nazi-era references that are unbearable for Holocaust survivors.

Tranarchy Shirt
Nothing says "fuck the gender binary" like a comfy cotton shirt adorned with a symbol of rebellion. Perfect for casual Fridays at a corporate office or family reunions where Aunt Mildred asks too many...

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.
Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say
Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

I don't get why Congress and Courts are not charging senior and non-senior administration officials with both contempt and perjury all the time under this regime
If she’s not charged with both contempt of Congress and perjury before Congress, the whole world will know that Congress is a powerless sham.

I don’t have much respect for Congress but this is way out of fucking pocket for anyone, let alone the Attorney General, an unelected political appointee who is legally subject to oversight by the elected officials she’s insulting.

The SAVE Act has passed the House, making it harder for 69 million American women to vote.
This isn’t about voter fraud or undocumented immigrants.
This is about suppressing the female vote.
They want to repeal the 19th and this is a step in that direction.

I cannot know what I don't know. People please tell me about your food cultures, and I'll happily tell you about the food I grew up with or otherwise eat
Since we're talking fiber, I mentioned to a friend that I grew up eating beans at least four times a week. And when we got white rice as opposed to some form of rice and beans we would eat the rice with a bean sauce.
Anyway here's a recipe I have not made and cannot vouch for

Sòs pwa, Haitian Bean Sauce - Tchakayiti
Sòs pwa, Haiti's popular bean sauce is served daily on top of rice, polenta or millet. I've always been fond of the whole beans left in it. Recipe here.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

You know what? Let me give y'all a fucking example.
Calling something "racist" or "white supremacist" will literally be interpreted by white people (broadly construed) as adjacent to an ad-hominem attack because of how we've culturally organized our understanding of racism and white supremacy.

As I repeatedly emphasize to my students: the presence of a fallacy in discourse does not render the broader argument irrelevant and many "fallacies" are premised on a given network of cultural meanings. One could make a valid and sound argument for why someone is "bitchmade" and use it effectively.

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.
DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.
She went to court to get the body cam footage released.
It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.
Saying “do something b*tch”.
Ramming her car.
Shooting her.
It shows DHS lied.
