Holocaust Humor and The ‘Real’ Germany — As Top Officials Shatter Post-WWII Taboos, German Conservatives Follow GOP Playbook and Charge Ahead

…ake it easier and less dehumanizing for trans people to legally change the registration of the sex assigned to them at birth. In short, Aiwanger went through the right-wing charts of this summer and simply ignored the accusations. In the audience, people held up signs expressing their support, with one man wearing a T-shirt which read “Stand by Aiwanger in times of need, otherwise our Bavaria is dead.” A truly MAGA-esque sentiment where the dear L…

No More Pencils, No More Books: The Ultimate Goal of All Those Anti-Education Bills That Nobody’s Talking About

…burdensome new requirements on voters—think voter IDs and barring same day registration—people will throw up their hands at the opaque, constantly-shifting bureaucracy and simply stay home. Some are aware of this tactic but very few seem to understand the larger ambition of these laws and how they fit into a decades-long attack on public schools (my fellow RD writer Chrissy Stroop being one exception). They don’t just want to ban these topics or b…

What’s Missing From Popular Discussions of Today’s Christian Nationalism?

…re for all who strive for it. Never mind the Republican Party’s efforts to promote McCarthyist laws that restrict discussions of the history of racism and other supposedly “divisive concepts” in America schools; or its leadership’s denigrating characterizations of political leaders of color with whom they disagree. And who here really cares that the Republican Party has championed voter suppression and gerrymandering that disproportionately affect…

The Only Common Denominator of American Conservatism is Anti-Blackness

…Prissy’s back. Preventing that ‘eureka moment’ Republican officials’ voter registration purges and restricting the possibility of voting for Black people is the pursuit of Klan business by other means. They will say, however, that they aim to protect voting rights. It’s never enough to beat Black people down. We must be mocked. Even if every one of a conservative’s errors is one that furthers the cause of fascism they will be given the benefit of…

Mormon Leader Affirms Doctrine on Marriage; and More in Global LGBT Recap

…Even though they have registered their same-sex partnership at a household registration office, giving Hu the right to sign medical forms for his partner, they are still excluded from many social welfare benefits that are reserved for married heterosexual couples, Hu said. “We don’t have that much time to wait,” he said in a statement. In response, Cabinet spokesman Hsu Kuo-yung (徐國勇) told CNA that the Executive Yuan will handle the issue in line…

‘Culting’: From Waco to Fundamentalist Mormons

…semi-automatic weapons into automatic weapons without paying the required registration fees. David Koresh became aware of the ATF investigation and invited agents to come to Mount Carmel openly and inspect his weapons. When the undercover agents reported to their superiors that they had seen no evidence of illegal activity, an ATF agent wrote an affidavit to obtain a search warrant in which it was alleged that the Branch Davidians were a “cult” t…

…nment, requested the dissolution of Shams, which had obtained its official registration only recently — on May 18. On Dec. 12, Shams had called for a demonstration outside parliament seeking recognition of the human rights of LGBT people, but the rally was banned by the government. The protest was also aimed at countering the statements of Ahmed Zarrouk and of member of parliament Abdellatif Mekki of the Islamist Ennahda party, who said that offic…

Put Your Money Where Your Mind Is: A For-Profit Meditation Studio Opens in New York

…esembles SoulCycle’s (“book a bike”). So does the layout of MNDFL’s online registration portal. Both SoulCycle and MNDFL project a happy-healthy-community vibe, merging the accept-all-comers language of a millennial church with the prices of an upscale nail salon. And the origin story is basically the same: two people with complementary expertise get together; while chatting, they wonder why a certain service isn’t available, and they hatch a busi…

A Secret Family History Shows “Regular” Life Under the Reich: Sarah Wildman on Paper Love

…es her all the more relatable. Finding small pieces in archives—her school registration, for example, the fact that the Gestapo notes she kept a microscope with her as she moved from place to place to place, and all her books, all these things add up to painting her picture. I tried to use her letters with the state files on her case and weave from that a narrative that gives as deep a profile as possible. Also, I’ll add, that I found geography to…

The “Good Guy With a Gun” Myth

…. You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir.” We feel her exquisite pain: emotionally, yes, but also morally. The good guy with the gun is not so good. As for the bad guy with the gun, he wasn’t bad at all. He wasn’t even reaching for his weapon. Historically, the dueling ritual was widely tolerated in the American colonies. After the birth of our republic, the practice persisted, surviving well int…
