The last time Mississippi elected a black senator was during Reconstruction - Blanche K. Bruce, a man who had been born into slavery. That’s how historic this win is. A powerful repudiation of Jim Crow 2.0 which Republicans had ushered in, disenfranchising black voters all over the South.
Democrats have one chance, within a fast-closing window, to hold members of the administration to account. That’s not revenge, it’s accountability - it’s making sure the democratic system can survive.
Dana White is supposed to become the spokesperson for the White House. In 2023, he slapped his wife at a party, as shown in a video. Again: brutality, misogyny, and violence are not obstacles for Trump – at least for him – but qualifications for his representatives. (translated)
A first analysis of the midterm results: blue tsunami instead of wave, historic victories for the Democrats, disaster for the Republicans, who even have to worry about Mississippi, initial reactions, and what it all means. Recorded with a significant sleep deficit, but it was worth it! (translated)
Trump with a strong closing message
JD Vance casually throwing out “anti-white hatred” in the last stretch of midterm campaigning is wild. That’s a term that not long ago was used pretty much only in white supremacist spaces. That’s where this rhetoric is coming from.
After he has identified himself as a fan of "The Camp of the Saints," it is not surprising that Harald has included "Great Replacement" in his standard repertoire. Adding references to National Socialism is the latest escalation. (translated)
“Migration milieu” is now the conservative rephrasing of the far-right rhetoric of “passport Germans” to mark BPoC with German citizenship as foreign and not belonging. Ethnic thinking in 2026, and one doesn’t even have to look into the ranks of the AfD for that. (translated)
Haley Stevens’ bizarre last minute betrayal of her own party seems to have had the opposite effect she wanted: it has united even parts of the party that were skeptical about El-Sayed behind him, and led to a massive surge in his fundraising efforts.
In the Zeit Podcast, two feuilleton journalists marvel at how "educated" "Bronze Age Pervert" (yes, the fascist influencer) is, how "deep his knowledge" goes. Yes, sexism, contempt for humanity, anti-Semitism, racism, but so educated! (translated)
The Young Union Berlin-Mitte demands on Instagram the use of the Bundeswehr (!) against student protests (!) (accompanied by the sounds of the national anthem), the demonstrations must be "prevented." (translated)
At a Georgetown College Republicans event, an AfD politician tells students the Holocaust is ‘used as a weapon’: Marc Bernard, an AfD MP, told students that accusations of Nazism had become ‘inflationary’ in Germany, and that the Holocaust is ‘used as a weapon against Germany’. (translated)
Just look at that. By the way, the former CDU parliamentary group leader said this in an interview with Nius (if there are still any doubts about where the journey is headed). (translated)
After I just read about the fact that there is no term for what the CDU is currently doing in its hysteria over the coalition talks with the Left: yes, there is. It is the narrative of "Islamo-gauchisme," which has been circulating in France for years,… (translated)
The crusade of white evangelicals against empathy bears fruit. (Empathy is seen as a sin that primarily leads women to unjustified compassion / is used as a political tool by the left) Dark. There is also something to be written about that. (translated)
