Most of the people in my life who I love, enjoy being with, and admire have the opposite beliefs from mine on almost every issue ranging from religion, politics, education, and human rights. That includes my family, friends, neighbors, work peers, and clients. I love, respect and support them all.

But this support and respect is not reciprocal. I follow a simple and clear Acceptable Public Behavior Policy in all public and business dealings to avoid overt bigotry. I have received death threats and been physically attacked for my public advocacy of beliefs. I have been rejected for work and community leadership positions because of my fundamental beliefs. I am scared for our future.

'Major prongs of Project 2025 have already been enacted': legal expert


Although Joe Biden on Sunday, July 21 dropped his bid for reelection, the president has promised to implement US Supreme Court reform during his final six months in office.

Last week, The Washington Post reported that Biden urged the Congressional Progressive Caucus on a phone call to "back his Court reform plan, which he hinted would soon be made public."

The president said, "I’m going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court … I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help."

Das geht leider gerade völlig unter: Die Frankfurter Polizist*innen, die in einer Chatgruppe übelsten Rassismus und Volksverhetzung teilten, werden nicht strafrechtlich belangt, weil es in einer geschlossenen Gruppe passierte und der "Belustigung" diente. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/beschwerde-zurueckgewiesen-rassistische-polizeichats-nicht-strafbar-19857514.html
Um ein Verbreiten im strafrechtlichen Sinn handele es sich erst, wenn die „konkrete, durch tatsächliche Anhaltspunkte belegbare Gefahr vorliegt, dass der Inhalt an eine unbestimmte Anzahl von Personen weitergegeben wird und der Täter dies billigend in Kauf nimmt“. Dass eine Whatsapp-Nachricht leicht weitergeleitet werden kann, reicht dem Gericht zufolge „unter Berücksichtigung verfassungsrechtlicher Anforderungen“ nicht aus, um ein „Verbreiten“ beim Einstellen von inkriminierten Inhalten in eine Whatsapp-Gruppe anzunehmen. Artikel 5 des Grundgesetzes, der die Meinungsfreiheit garantiere, erfordere vielmehr konkrete Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass der Empfänger den Inhalt weitergebe und der Sender dies billigend in Kauf nehme. Im Fall der Polizeichats hingegen lägen keine konkreten Anhaltspunkte dafür vor, dass die Chatgruppenmitglieder damit gerechnet und es billigend in Kauf genommen hätten, dass die Inhalte weitergegeben und damit einer „nicht mehr überschaubaren Anzahl von Personen“ übermittelt werden würden, argumentierte das Gericht. Im Gegenteil: Ihnen sei bewusst gewesen, dass eine Weiterleitung vor allem der nationalsozialistischen und ausländerfeindlichen Inhalte dienstrechtliche Konsequenzen hätte haben können. Zweck der Gruppe sei es gewesen, durch Einstellen schockierender Inhalte die Chatmitglieder zu „belustigen“, führte der Senat aus. Darauf weise bereits der Gruppenname „Itiotentreff“ hin.

Beschwerde zurückgewiesen: Rassistische Polizeichats nicht strafbar

Im Fall der Chatgruppe „Itiotentreff“ hat das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt nun entschieden: Die fünf Polizisten des 1. Frankfurter Reviers müssen sich wegen ihrer rassistischen Ausfälle nicht vor Gericht verantworten.

@vatolin @EngelMichelmann Wenn Rassismus in einer geschlossen Gruppe (strafrechtlich) nicht verboten ist, dann ist es erlaubt. Dass das in keinem Fall ok ist, steht leider auf einen anderen Blatt. Und das an Beamte da strengere Maßstäbe angesetzt werden sollten ist eigentlich keine Frage. IMO hat jeder Polizist der sich an solch einer Chatgruppe beteiligt seine Eignung zum Staatsdienst verwirkt.
Ändert aber nichts an meiner Aussage. Laut Artikel hat das OLG Frankfurt entschieden.

Rightwingers like to call names. They have often referred to the “Democrat Party” for the past 100 years just to tick us off. It took off with McCarthy, Goldwater, and, I think, Reagan. It was official since Gingrich. Since they are now officially opposed to democracy in general, maybe they could start using “Democratic Party,” since it sounds like an insult anyway.

Regarding the hit-by-bullet assumption:

"It seems quite likely that the story Trump has been telling constantly over the last two weeks simply isn’t true, that he and his campaign know it’s not true or at least that there’s no evidence for it. And the press has too."

As Josh Marshall makes clear, this is another willful failure of Big Journalism. Refusing to do the basic stuff is the norm now.
