Ah, but the mistake is to think when they say “My body my choice” it implies a universal principle. The fascist mindset doesn’t work like that. While we would generalize “My body my choice” to “Each person’s body their own choice”, a fascist generalizes it to “Each person’s body my choice.”

And protests against Israel’s genocide?

Still way too many fascists for comfort.

For now, but the rise of fascism continues to loom over Europe.

It’s saying that RFK Jr.'s panel is restricting access to vaccines based on unverified reports from the public of injuries that they interpreted as being due to the vaccines. These reports are untrustworthy because they have not been confirmed to been due to the vaccines - in fact they haven’t been confirmed to have happened at all. But RFK Jr. does not seem to understand or want to understand the difference between a scientific study and random people’s anecdotes, or how to prove or disprove a causal connection scientifically rather than going on an irrational hunch. If he and other antivaxers understood this they would have abandoned their whole campaign long ago.

It was a fascist march. 110,000 fascists vs 5,000 anti-fascists - what a sad day for the country.

Yes, but for-profit, vindictive, ideologically driven death panels. In the MAGA mind this is infinitely better than expert public servants deciding how resources should be allocated.

Nazis don’t really believe in free speech, silly. Not even American Nazis.

There’s also this guy’s dig into the suspect’s social media:

And this:

The retired general told a community meeting in southern Israel earlier this week that more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people”. That estimate is notable as it is close to the current figures provided by Gaza’s health ministry, which Israeli officials have frequently dismissed as Hamas propaganda, though the ministry figures have been deemed reliable by international humanitarian agencies.

Looks like the IDF have been lying about the extent of their genocide all along. What a surprise.

We should treat it with caution, but it looks like this guy has dug quite thoroughly into the suspect’s social media accounts. Hopefully there will be more clarity soon.

The suspect seems to be a MAGA guy, and there’s no evidence he’s trans:

Ground News is a news aggregator that publishes links to other sites’ news pages. It doesn’t really have editorial content of its own, though it does have some AI summaries which should be treated with the appropriate mistrust.

Most worrying is the way the federal government and right-wing media immediately started saying, entirely falsely, that the shooter was a transgender left-winger, and it’s not the first time they have spread these lies. The Republicans are using every opportunity to convince their supporters that trans people are dangerous and must be removed from society. It’s the groundwork for some very bad Nazi shit.

felt his life was threatened and opened fire

They always feel their lives are threatened. This counts for nothing. Without further evidence, this may just be another lie from self-justifying murderous cops.

Well, yes, I have a similar view of anything that makes politics into a balance between “left” and “right”. Even to treat them as two ends of the same line overly elevates the right, which is just a bunch of base impulses, toxic personality defects, resentments, lies and scams dressed up as a political ideology. So I agree with your point and I don’t treat Ground News as a map of truth, but I do find it handy for getting a quick overview of what many news websites are saying and how the right is spinning things.

MAGA fascists rushed (again) to blame trans people because they’re determined to find as many pretexts as they can to round up trans people. And then today we learn:

Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter

It suggests the fascists are lying to the media.

I opened up Ground News today and the mainstream news sources are just full of this statement that the bullets were “engraved with transgender ideology.” Someone has been making very sure this falsehood is the message all the journalists take away and report. And now it has been all over the news throughout the day.

It’s horrible seeing the fascists lie and lie to set up trans people as villains and enemies.

And what’s with this “anti-fascist ideology” thing? Remember before 2015 when anti-fascist ideology was just the default and the baseline for being even a half-decent person?

He always looks like a deer caught in headlights. I think that’s just his face.
