 QUELLE SUPRISE is right!!!! There neo-nazi fascist Fotzen just tipped their hand, like we didn't know they are extreme, bigoted, ignorant fascist Hundinnen before this faux pas? They are also getting in bed with the proud boys and rfk jr, all known American fascist. This from Crooks & Liars.....

Are Moms For Liberty Hitler Stans? Could Be!

Moms For Liberty, an extremist group, isn't very inclusive as Republicans close the tent to their party and welcome the ladies who are against LGBT rights, race, and critical race theory. Anti-woke Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Meatball) was the keynote speaker at the three-day Moms For Liberty conference in Tampa in 2022.

They aren't fans of President Biden. One chapter chair claimed last month that Biden wants to turn kids gay to hurt conservatives. And just like that, everyone was so gay that rainbows shot of our eyes.

But they do appear to be fans of Adolph Hitler's quotes.

IndyStar reports:

The Hamilton County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national organization recently listed as an "extremist group" by a civil rights watchdog, introduced its first newsletter Wednesday, The Parent Brigade. Adolf Hitler was quoted on its front cover.

Just below The Parent Brigade's masthead was a quote Hitler used at a Nazi rally in 1935: "He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future." The pages of the newsletter were posted on the group's Facebook page.

Late Wednesday night, the front page of the newsletter was updated to include what is described as "context" for the Hitler quote.

"The quote from a horrific leader should put parents on alert," the update says. "If the government has control over our children today, they control our country's future. We The People must be vigilant and protect children from an overreaching government."

This is apparently referring to Southern Law Poverty Center designating them as an extremist group.

Below Hitler's words on the original front page appeared a message from Moms for Liberty national co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, with the headline: "Moms for Liberty will not be intimidated by hate groups!"

No takey backsies:

A more likely scenario is that they added "context" after getting caught quoting Hitler to advance their agenda.

They've made themselves comfortable with other extremist groups.

Dear Conservatives, You don't have a good history with this sort of thing. I think it would be best if you never mentioned Hitler again. RFK Jr. has compared COVID-19 Mask Mandates to Nazi Experiments. You can have him. We don't want him. You're welcome!

November 5, 2021

Maddie Oatman here, senior editor in charge of our print magazine's culture section. The pandemic has mostly been a drag, but one benefit has been all the uninterrupted hours I've spent nerding out about music and the stories behind some of my favorite albums.

In September, I transitioned from occasional Brandi Carlile listener to complete fangirl. Immersing myself in Carlile's 2021 memoir, Broken Horses, was one of the best audiobook experiences I've ever had: The Americana singer reads the story—a peek into her hardscrabble Washington childhood and scrappy rise to fame—herself, and plays and sings two or three acoustic songs after each chapter. At the end of the book, she references an album she started writing during the pandemic.

Well, that album dropped on October 1, and it's killer: full of poignant writing, folksy vibrato, and even some rockers like the song "Broken Horses," which she performed in a gold suit on the October 23 episode of Saturday Night Live. I'm a tried and weathered woman, she warns in the lyrics, but I won't be tried again. Brandi, I bow to you.

The same day Carlile's record dropped, another new gem appeared. Singer Miko Marks made waves in the early 2000s as one of the only Black country artists to hit Nashville. But she felt iced out of the mainstream country scene. "I heard, 'You won’t sell'…because I’m Black, without saying because I’m Black," she later told the New York Times. Discouraged, Marks ended up taking a 13-year hiatus.

This year, she returned with a splash, releasing a full-length record and an EP of cover songs. The second, Race Records, out October 1, functions as payback for all the years Marks was made to feel unworthy of singing country music. The original "race records" were a way for record labels to differentiate music by Black people in the early 1900s, essentially segregating these records and their profit potential. (I wrote more about this in a story about Black banjo player Jacob Blount.) They're one of the reasons mainstream country music became so lily-white during the second half of the century, even as the genre has always drawn heavily from the contributions of Black artists, pulling from blues, gospel, and bluegrass.

Marks subverts this history: Paying homage to country's many influences, she covers country classics, like "Long as I Can See the Light," made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and "Whiskey River," which Willie Nelson liked to sing. Race Records has a layered story to tell, and it's delightful listening.

That's all for now—I hope your weekend is full of relaxation and good tunes.

Who Goes Crypto?

In the era of financial precarity, betting on meme stocks to save for retirement might not be moral, but it’s certainly rational.
