Seit Jahren untersuche ich die US-Rechte: lese ihre Texte, analysiere polit. Entscheidungen, untersuche ihre Biographien - was man halt so macht. Ein Muster begegnet mir ständig: Die permanente Selbst-Viktimisierung, die im krassen Konstrast zur polit. und ökon. Macht steht. 1/
Eve Fairbanks beschreibt nun in einem exzellenten Artikel in der #WashingtonPost, wie weit diese spezifisch konservative Opfer-Rhetorik zurückreicht und wie sie im Antebellum South verwendet wurde, um Sklaverei zu verteidigen. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0… 2/
Denn die Südstaatler sprachen nicht etwa von #slavery: "they anointed themselves the defenders of reason, free speech and civility." Als die wahren Verteidiger von Minderheitenrechten und Freiheit (der Sklavenhalter, wohlgemerkt.) 3/

#REDFLAG: After a setback in the Supreme Court, Trump asks his lawyers if he can DELAY THE CENSUS

The census is constitutionally-mandated to begin in April 2020, under Article I, Section 2.

Trump is asking if he can IGNORE the Constitution b/c he doesn't like a SCOTUS decision.
#RELATED: The Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Administration's proposal to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census...for now.

It would've led to a severe undercount, which would've rigged elections and resources in favor of white Republicans.
#HUGEWIN: The Trump Administration will begin printing the 2020 Census WITHOUT the citizenship question.

After missing their deadline, some feared Trump may actually try to defy the Constitution and the law.

This is an incredible victory for democracy!

A reminder: the U.S. is actually still in the Paris #climate agreement. Here's how a withdrawal would actually happen #cop24 washingtonpost.com/energy-environ…
2. Article 28 of the Paris agreement says a party can't leave for 3 years, and there is another 1 year waiting period after that. unfccc.int/sites/default/…
3. Since the agreement went into force on Nov 4 2016 -- with the U.S. having formally joined -- that means the earliest the U.S. can file a piece of paper to withdraw is Nov 4, 2019.

Riots in France, 2nd rejection of carbon tax in Washington State, and u-turns in Germany and Ireland, all since Oct:

Are carbon taxes are dead, and we should look to plan B on climate?

POST: Ivanka Trump used a personal email account to send hundreds of emails about government business last year washingtonpost.com/politics/ivank…
The White House doesn't respond to questions about a government employee's actions, instead referring to her private lawyer.
The spokesperson for the lawyer for Ivanka Trump gives a statement with enough holes in it that I want to put it on a sandwich. (Because it's Swiss cheese. Get it?)
