Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Ähm, habe ich gerade einen Werbespot für "fluoridfreie Zahnpasta aus Überzeugung" gesehen, der explizit das US-Gesundheitsministerium referenziert und schwurbelt, dass Fluorid "den IQ unserer Kinder mindert"? Einfach so im Fernsehen, nicht vorgeschaltet vor nem Video auf ner dubiosen Webseite.

I kept thinking about this last night. Absolutely terrifying.

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

He's a pathetic whiny wittle baby and it's frankly embarrassing how fucking weak Starmer, Macron and Merz are with him

Um es mit den Worten von Neven zu sagen: Was kann Svensson dafür, dass der Spurs-Spieler in das gestreckte Bein rennt?

Oh yes sure VENEZUELA hacked elections of the US of A, no problem, I totally see it

I... don't think that's a red card, you know

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

He’s out of his mind, a narcissistic megalomaniac in an all-consuming spiral of self-pity and selfishness, but the truly insane people are the thousands of powerful men around him who won’t say so and continue to dance around him like this is normal, rational behavior.

“Give me a Nobel Peace Prize or I’m gonna invade sovereign territory and completely demolish age-old alliances” is fucking insane babble. The man needs to be removed from office. He’s completely unfit. It is so dark that the GOP Congress won’t do shit. The whole party needs to be unraveled.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

This is rr how most people I know became radical lefties. You go to an antifascist demonstration because you just think it's your democratic duty and you suddenly see cops beating your friends up to make way for actual Nazis. And then media will report you were the violent ones.

I don't understand why the phrasing still has to be this careful: "The footage *appears* to contradict" You're doing a very good, detailed breakdown with video evidence. Why so fucking timid?

???????????????????????????????????

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

They need to start freaking out more. The Venezuela raid has apparently left Trump thinking he’s all-powerful and now he wants to do it again and again. Beyond the insanity of running foreign policy on short-term whims, it’s also literally the kind of thing that could set off global war.

I remember vividly watching in shock the day before I interviewed for my current job and desperately needing to go to sleep but I simply couldn't. And in my shock I kept telling myself "at the very least Trump is definitely done forever now, even he can't come back from this." Alas...

I tripped over a rocking horse in a shop whilst carrying my 7 weeks old baby strapped to me. Baby was completely unharmed, I broke my foot.

EU citizens - especially those in Greenland - deserve a clear answer to the question of how EU leaders would react to attempts of the US to annex Greenland. Will there be a clear political and economic response? Or is it also going to be a "complex situation" to be "closely monitored"?

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Because international media largely seems to struggle to choose the correct wording to describe what’s happening: the US, under the self describes „peace president“, attacked another country and kidnapped its president. That is factual, no matter how bad or illegitimate Maduro‘s rule is (very bad).

After this, the EU should absolutely proceed on the assumption that Trump meant what he said about Greenland. Nothing is off the table anymore.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

We're so back 🔥

See, if Schmelle was still about he'd have nipped that celebration in the bud, slapped everybody and yelled at them to focus

Ah, I just like him, what can I do

"Sag' mal 'typisch Dortmund!'" Dem Kind erstmal Essentielles beibringen

I was expecting a Showdown with Socialism.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

The jocular, grandfatherly pat! How’s ol Karoline going to spin this one?! 💀

Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

What is happening

"I am traumatized. I am not stupid" -- one of the Epstein survivors sends a message directly to Trump

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

Imagine having generational political talents like AOC and Mamdani in your party and not throwing *everything* behind them immediately because you're terrified of being accused of ~socialism~ 😅🤷🏼‍♀️

Sich am Vorabend der Wahl zum Bürgermeister hinzustellen und zu sagen „Ja, wählt mich für demokratischen Sozialismus und der ist fest in der Geschichte dieser Stadt verankert und bedeutet x y und z“ ist schon eine sehr furchtlose Nummer.

Es ist beeindruckend wie er jeden Angriff in einen Vorteil ausnutzt. Als er rassistisch wegen Islam angegriffen wurde brachte er ein Video auf arabisch raus. Als er wegen Sozialismus angegriffen wird dieses Video. Immer Offensive. Da dreht sich was. Ein deutlich anderer Stil als die Demokraten.

One can only hope Democrats everywhere learn from this. Being afraid of and trying to appease the right gets you nowhere. Be bold, give people a vision, something to strive for, something worth fighting for, and don't let them dictate your talking points by defending whatever they're accusing you of

What is this feeling? Something like... hope, inspiration... brought by... a politician? In 2025?

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."
