    Where do these people come from? By this logic surgeons and scrub nurses would be sick all the time. But they are not.

     
    Could have gone in the racist thread too

    A far-right MP in Poland has used a fire extinguisher to put out a candle on a menorah that was lit for Hanukah, disrupting parliamentary proceedings before a planned vote of confidence in a new government.

    Donald Tusk, the new prime minister, who earlier on Tuesday vowed to reform Poland after eight years of rule by the rightwing nationalist Law & Justice party, said the incident was “a disgrace”.

    “This is unacceptable. This can’t happen again. This is a disgrace,” he said.

    His condemnation was echoed by Israel’s ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, who posted on X: “SHAME. A Polish parliament member just did this. Few minutes after we celebrated Chanukah there.”

    The parliament, or Sejm, took a break to deal with the incident, carried out by Grzegorz Braun, who was shown on television putting out the candle with a fire extinguisher and causing smoke or haze to fill the area.

    Asked just after the incident if he was ashamed, Braun replied: “Those who take part in acts of Satanic worship should be ashamed.”

    Braun left the chamber, shaking hands with other far-right lawmakers.……..

     
    German prosecutors have filed terrorism charges against 27 people, including a self-styled prince and a former far-right lawmaker, in connection with an alleged plot to topple the government that came to light with a slew of arrests a year ago.

    An indictment against 10 suspects, including the most prominent figures, was filed on Monday at the state court in Frankfurt. Under the German legal system, the court must decide whether and when the case will go to trial.

    Nine of the suspects, all German nationals, are accused of belonging to a terrorist organisation that was founded in July 2021 with the aim of “doing away by force with the existing state order in Germany”, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

    Prosecutors said the accused believed in a “conglomerate of conspiracy myths”, including Reich Citizens and QAnon ideology, and were convinced Germany was ruled by a so-called “deep state”.

    Adherents of the Reichsbürger, or Reich Citizens movement, reject Germany’s postwar constitutionand have called for bringing down the government, while QAnon is a global conspiracy theory with roots in the US.

    The nine suspects are also charged with “preparation of high treasonous undertaking”. They include Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, whom the group allegedly planned to install as Germany’s provisional new leader; Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, a judge and former lawmaker with the far-right Alternative for Germany party; and a retired paratrooper.

    The group planned to storm the parliament building in Berlin and arrest lawmakers, prosecutors said. It intended to negotiate a post-coup order primarily with Russia, as one of the allied victors of the second world war.……

     
    Last year Donald Trump dined with two anti-Semites, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, at his Mar-a-Lago resort and residence, drawing massive outrage while revealing to many Americans for the first time who Fuentes is: a white supremacist, Christian nationalist, anti-LGBTQ, authoritarian extremist who supports Trump’s “America First” doctrine.

    In his livestream show on Sunday titled, “The Great Replacement is about White GENOCIDE,” Fuentes called for the “death penalty” for non-Christians, according to Right Wing Watch (video below). “Antisemitic white nationalist Christian fascist Nick Fuentes says that when his America First movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed,” RWW reported.

    NCRM has located the full video and is publishing a longer version of Fuentes’ remarks.

    “There is an occult element at the high levels of society, and specifically among the Jews, and you know, whenever I see that stuff that just makes me want to proclaim louder and more firmly and more rigidly that it is nothing other than Jesus Christ. No, no pagan stuff, no false gods, no deities, no demons. It is Jesus Christ and we need to start saying that name,” Fuentes said.............

    I say it every time I hear about Nick Fuentes. It's accompanied by a heavy sigh and an eye roll.
     
    Bridget Ziegler, half of a Florida Republican power couple embroiled in a rape allegation and same-sex scandal, refused to resign from her seat on the Sarasota County School Board on Tuesday night.

    All four of her fellow board members — including two people she ran alongside last year — voted to ask her to step down.

    The co-founder of the far-right group Moms for Liberty made few remarks in the nearly four-hour meeting, during which dozens of residents demanded that she leave the board.
    “I’m disappointed,” Ziegler said after her colleagues asked her to step down, noting that their resolution “does not have any teeth.”

    Only Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) can remove Ziegler from her position, and a separate vote to ask him to do so failed. She has been on the school board since 2014; her current term ends in 2026…….

     
    Interesting article

    Wasn’t sure what thread to put this in, could’ve gone in the media tracker thread too
    ===========================


    When Elon Musk reinstated far-right influencer and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s account on X on Sunday night, digital marketer and activist Nandini Jammi sprang into action. She posted on X to alert her followers to his return and began monitoring his posts.


    “We’ve been working on alerting advertisers to the two platforms where Alex Jones primarily lives, Rumble and Twitter,” Jammi said, using X’s former name. “Alex Jones has proven to be a dangerous conspiracy theorist, and Twitter is reopening a channel for him to earn ad revenue.”


    Jammi was part of the effort that successfully de-platformed Jones in 2018 and led to his banning from major social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Spotify.

    She waged a widespread social media campaign imploring the public to contact the platforms directly and pressure them to remove him.

    That same year, Jammi helped get Jones removed from PayPal by writing directly to the company, asking it to review his use of the platform. Shortly after, he was banned there too.

    Far-right content creators such as Jones, who commingle conservative commentary and conspiracy theories with advertising, have become common on social media.

    While traditional news outlets have been slow to adopt the personality-driven model that now dominates the internet, conservative media have embraced it for years, delivering news with a partisan slant that generates outrage, attracts large audiences — and turns a profit.

    This model helps explain why random people and events — a first-grade teacher in Milwaukee, a county election worker in Georgia, Bud Light’s advertising with an LGBTQ+ influencer — regularly rocket to online prominence.

    “Any kind of news event that can be politicized to create outrage is an opportunity for right-wing influencers to make money,” said Emily Dreyfuss, director of the Shorenstein Center News Lab at Harvard University, a research center that focuses on the impact of social media.

    “They scour the news for something they think will upset their audience, then they make a very big deal out of it in order to make it go viral and lead to more content, all of which enriches them.”

    In 2016, Jammi noticed that advertising on the conservative news site Breitbart relied heavily on programmatic advertising.

    So she began alerting advertisers when their marketing appeared next to hate speech and disinformation. Jammi soon partnered with Matt Rivitz, a copywriter and marketer in San Francisco who was doing similar work, to launch Sleeping Giants, an activist organization dedicated to demonetizing right-wing extremist news sites……

    Far-right influencers have become incredibly adept at manipulating news cycles for audience growth and profit, people who study the internet say.


    “What happens is these influencers find whatever’s hot in the news, whatever’s garnering a lot of attention, and they manipulate it to their agenda so they can monetize the results to their followers,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, an Alabama-based nonprofit that seeks to counter extremism.


    Traditional media often play a key role in this cycle by amplifying these campaigns, Holt said. “When [these outrage cycles] get big enough, national media and big newsrooms look at that snowball, and there’s a tendency to report on it as if that represents a sincere belief of however many hundreds of thousands or millions of Americans, rather than a media pile-on, which is what it really is.”


    Jammi uses social media to draw attention to advertisers whose marketing appears on sites controlled by far-right creators. She also files complaints with industry accountability boards, including the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG), an organization that targets fraudulent and criminal digital advertising and whose membership includes Facebook, Google and other major brands…….
