Deb Haaland!

We are thrilled to see historic representation in our governing bodies this year. Congratulations to the fierce Congresswoman Deb Haaland for being the first Native person to be appointed as the Secretary of the Department of Interior and the first Native person to be appointed to a national cabinet!

"The living world moves in pulses. Gusts of wind are punctuated by relative stillness. Musical notes resonate within the padding of silence. Rest and motion require one another for balance, beauty and life. Yet, somehow we’ve built a culture that demands the impossible: leaving the tap on and emitting our own energy in constant deluge..."

..If you’ve ever had the good fortune of watching unbroken swell lines sweep shoreward from the inky deep, then you’ve witnessed the spaciousness that defines the movement of wavelengths through water.

Something sacred is coming this way.
That is how my ancestors would have said it. In the midst of all this turmoil and confusion, when we cannot clearly see the path before us, when we feel trapped in a situation we cannot control, then I believe the wise elders of my holy heritage would climb to the high place of the heart, draw the circle of reason and faith around them, and stand to sing their prayers into the open sky of the history to come. They would not shrink into a corner afraid, but rise up to catch the first light of what was coming into being all around them.
We are living in a time of emergence.
We are the witnesses to a great renewal.
The world is full of the fear of birth and change, but that transformation will one day be our blessing.
Do not be afraid, but be believing.
Come to the place where the ancestors are already standing.
Come and see.
Something sacred is coming this way.

Die AfD wird von Menschen unterstützt, "die ein bestimmtes gesellschaftliches Ideal ablehnen, das wir in der Forschung kosmopolitisch nennen: Dass Menschen in einer Welt ohne Grenzen leben, dass wir bei Bedürftigkeit helfen, egal wo, dass wir unterschiedliche Lebensentwürfe anerkennen (..) Ihre Unterstützer sind also nicht wirtschaftlich, sondern kulturell abgehängt von einer für sie falschen Entwicklung. Sie wollen eine andere Form der Gesellschaft.“

Wer ist denn nun der "kleine Mann", der angeblich die Wahl entscheidet? Soziologe Holger Lengfeld hat die AfD-Anhängerschaft erforscht. Ein Gespräch auch über den Vorwurf der Lügenpresse.
