Elderly man arrested in Britain for “causing anxiety” with a social media post. This is insane.
Thank God there is a constitutional right to freedom of speech in America!

🛡️ VERITAS 🛡️
🛡️ ÆTERNUM 🛡️
As a Jew who grew up in a country governed by an extreme right wing party - replete with anti-semitic remnants of a wartime Nazi party - I am very sensitive to extreme right wing rhetoric. So when Elon Musk endorsed the AfD, I was puzzled, even alarmed. Wasn't the AfD practially a Nazi party? That's what I had been assured was the case, in multiple MSM pieces - and I failed to fact check. accepting this trope blindly.
Then I read the AfD "Manifesto for Germany" (Link to the manifesto, provided by @alojoh - thanks, AJ! - posted below).
I read it end-to-end. Frankly, I was stunned! This manifesto absolutely accorded with my upbringing, which I describe traditional western liberalism. I strongly urge all thinking people to AND to read Elon Musk's own reasons for backing the AfD (see thread posted below). After reading these pieces, let me know your honest take. If you simply respond negatively from the gut, I will know, and you will be challenged!

Yet more shameful conduct by the legacy media
It is really important that more people are becoming aware of the mass rape gangs which were (and still are) allowed to operate in the UK.
The first time we interviewed a survivor I tried my best to get the mainstream media to talk more about it to no avail.
If you want to know more about it you can watch our interviews with survivors and also a policewoman whistleblower here:

As we (finally) close the Matt Gaetz 'show,' @THSchwadron laments how, even in a culture as sex-obsessed as ours, it's mind-twisting to consider the character issues we choose to ignore in selecting our leaders.

After @realDonaldTrump's election win, hateful and divisive comments became sadly more accepted at high schools across the country, writes high school senior @katherinekelton.

Last week, @realDonaldTrump nominated @pnjaban, a Trump loyalist and election denier as the person to head Civil Rights enforcement.
As @THSchwadron writes, that's like putting a fox in charge of the hen house.

Conflicts of interest? For @realDonaldTrump's transition team, it's a non-issue.
@THSchwadron shares his thoughts.

Some Russian State TV hosts are thrilled about some of @realDonaldTrump's recent Cabinet picks. @AlterNet shares which picks have the highest potential to "quickly dismantle America."
