Looking more into it, they're part of a new attempt to kickstart a neo-Nazi movement with the main networking heft being done by a group called Identity Evropa. It's pretty interesting structurally. Youth-oriented and horizontally distributed with the focus on specific cities. During the fall semester they plan to do coordinated flyering and leaflets on campuses, that sort of thing. Baby steps.

Mostly they find each other on Twitter and the invite-only TRS forum. Idea being to take the forumers and Twitter users and connect them at the local level and have them take it from there. Also, a very deliberate co-opting of left-wing language like "safe spaces" and "occupying space." Also a bit more ideologically flexible, although it's deffo a Nazi movement, but more flexible than say the National Alliance.

They did a big thing at UC Berkeley a few months ago. Here's a long-form article.

The arzying over today's Trump speech is ridiculous. Even with the assumption that Trump will magically stay on message now that Bannon's on board (he won't), the message itself that he's selling is the reason he's so far down in the polls. Trump is losing by large margins because he has alienated literally every demographic except old white men. Choosing Bannon is essentially a sign of defeat: he's completely given up on trying to get anyone outside his hardcore supporters to vote for him, and he's focusing on finding an out that makes him look like winner even if he loses. Rallying your base works if you have enough of them to win an election (or in his case, a small plurality against a divided field), but he doesn't. It's over.

For Trump it's not really about a message, it's about having a yes-man in charge that will let Trump be Trump instead of trying to groom him for a general electorate. And look where Trump being Trump has gotten him on the national stage.

Few pages back, but this is what really worries me about Trump. He's not getting anywhere near the White House, but the wave of delusional Nazi-esque crowds that will be dumbfounded and angered after he fails is the real danger. The damage he's already done will take years to undo.

He's a massive racist, defender of MRA assholes, worshiper of Lord Trump-sama, and all around hyper-right wing cheerleader. He isn't quite up to their level, but he's still horrible enough to earn their respect.

I thought the Hobby Lobby case was essentially about morning after type pills that would prevent an already fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus? Is your objection that abortions are about embryos rather than zygotes? (Honest question, I haven't really thought about this too much so far.)

Yeah that was another case of pushing loathsome conservative values (punishing women for having the audacity to want sexual agency) and then working backwards into figuring out how to implement it legally and force it on people. The case against Hobby Lobby had to admit that yes there was an incredibly small chance that a fertilized egg could not attach to the uterine wall (even though that's not the purpose of the medicine) because their argument was based on reality and fact. So they took that and misrepresented the argument that since there was this tiny chance that their Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs were being violated by having to pay for women's "abortion pills." Of course they WEREN'T paying for them, the health plans were just allowing women to buy them at the bargained rate you get with insurance instead of the absurd at cost rate drug companies charge. Additionally the real hypocrisy is that they don't give a shot about making sure their employees never smoke,drink, or take Ibuprofen because there's the tiny change they can cause miscarriages and maybe a woman got pregnant and doesn't realize it yet?

Anytime you hear someone objecting to something based on Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs it's almost always just assholes trying to push their social views on other people regarding things that doesn't affect them or is straight up bigotry. "Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs" is just a dog whistle for "conservative white culture" and has generally nothing to do with any religious teachings except when you scour the bible and find one out of context passage you can use. Remember racism and integration were the things that pissed off Evangelicals and got this sort of "you can't force me to race mix it's against the Bible" into politics.

That's not how it works!! The amount of misinformation the religious right has done concerning the morning after pill is so frustrating. The designed effect of the morning after pill is to stop fertilization of the egg just like the regular birth control pill. It's literally an extra large does of regular birth control. The reason it's called the morning after pill is because you need to take it very soon after sex in order for it to be effective. Unlike with popular media, when you have sex the sperm doesn't shoot into the egg immediately it hangs out in the body for some time and eventually fertilizes the egg. The morning after pill stops the egg from dropping and so the sperm doesn't do anything. If the woman is currently ovulation the morning after pill doesn't work. Yes there's a tiny chance it stops a federalized egg from attaching causing "an abortion" if you want to be incredibly, incredibly generous with that term but it's not the effect and the chance of that is small. Many other drugs can also cause this but the religious right doesn't give a poo poo about those because they aren't giving women sex "for free."

Not trying to be rude since I'm sure you are asking this honestly but this frustrates me a huge deal because allowing these religious bigots their Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs results in mistruths being propagated to help their terrible ideals and hurt women.

Listen to old men talk about how birth control should be "an aspirin between the legs" and you'll understand why they give a poo poo about any of this.

Hobby Lobby wasn't decided based on either of the cases presented. All justices involved knew going in exactly how they were going to vote, and if necessary worked backwards from there.
