Man muss sich immer wieder klar machen, dass die Giffey-SPD lieber diesen Mann zum Bürgermeister gemacht hat, als die rot-rot-grüne Koalition fortzusetzen.

A neighbor friend passed on this picture of fireflies in a meadow down the way from us. I love this time of year.

Go ahead and yell at me, but are you really telling me there wasn't another person in Maine who hates the oligarchs, can speak with clarity, and doesn't have a long and documented history of extremely questionable behavior and beliefs? C'mon. Come on. Come. On.

In the end tho I'm not really mad at Platner. I'm mad at his team. Let's be real: no serious Democratic campaign firm would have run a person with these skeletons if he wasn't a tall, rugged, white male military vet. What does that say? Nothing good.

OH LOOK I GET TO DUST THIS OFF FOR PLATNER.

Erst mal herzlichen Glückwunsch an die israelische Regierung, nun selbst Rahm Emmanuel verloren zu haben. Der vertritt eigentlich immer die Democrats Establishment Position, und wenn die jetzt sogar für das Ende der Hilfe für Israel plädieren, wird das demnächst sehr spannend.

emmanuel is so ruthlessly cynical that this is basically telling you where the typical democratic voter is on american aid to israel

Sollten die Zölle und der ganze Kram das Außenhandelsdefizit nicht VERKLEINERN?

Wir pfeifen das Spiel jetzt einfach ab. Los, FIFA! (Wir kriegen die Kohle dafür schon gecrowdfunded. Bestimmt schießen UAE und die Saudis ordentlich was in den AfriArab-Fonds.)

Reflecting upon reflections

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2

Graham Platner has no real job skills or career, which means that if he drops out, it is highly likely he pops up in a few months on Tucker Carlson's podcast looking for a new audience by complaining about how AIPAC smeared him because they feared his stance against the "Epstein elites."

I will never forget how a victim of sexual assault was forced to retraumatize herself in front of the entire nation because people waved away red flag after red flag - the Nazi tattoo, the appearance on a neo-Nazi podcast, the domestic violence - so they could have a manly, unfeminized left.

Let's blame the sexual assault victim for her timing instead of admitting that we didn't believe the last group of women who came forward to say he was a bad dude and and the Nazi tattoo and the racist comments about black people and the war tourism and

The epitome of the Gall of Whiteness is that were calling him Maine’s Mamdani while Actual Mamdani was & still is being presented as a danger to people & couldn’t even get endorsed by his own senators.

kenn ich hier wen aus regensburg und umgebung? es geht um die zwangseinweisung einer ME/CFS erkrankten person, der dadurch eine (dauerhafte) verschlechterung droht. aktuell organisieren selbst schwer betroffene support aber es braucht auch welchen von personen mit mehr ressourcen!

Starting in September, I’m teaching a year-long series of online classes on Henry James. You can take them individually or as a sequence. I’d love for you to join us. Scholarships are available. All the details are here: garthgreenwell.substack.com/p/why-we-lov...

Man hat ja nun hinreichend klar gemacht, dass man findet, dass vor allem besser verdienende Eltern zu wenig Kinder bekommen während man den Armen das Pausenbrot nicht gönnt. Insofern ist das einfach eine zielgerichtete Maßnahme.

I'm sorry I'm sorry

This was also the most “how would we report this in another country?” Moment - “the candidate with fewer total votes won because the court (including some judges his father picked) determined he won a plurality in a state where his brother was governor”

No one remembers this anymore I guess but there was an entire movement of women staffers from the Bernie 2016 campaign who organized on the eve of the 2020 campaign to beg Bernie to take a proactive stance against the systemic sexual misconduct they'd experienced on the 2016 campaign

I like how every far right party has realizes all they need to do is weaponize the mid life crisis bsky.app/profile/core...

Sorry but the crudest parody of a Woke 1 feminist was basically just correct about powerful men and their insecurities and how disastrous that was. Everyday Feminism 101 article on Toxic Masculinity basically the book of Nostradamus.

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

Ah falsch, sie kann antreten, aber mit Elektronischer Fussfessel. Das hat sie bisher abgelehnt.

"The Founders clearly intended 'I believe that we will win' to mandate a victory for the US, given the late-18th-century meaning of 'believe', which would be akin to the modern definition of the word 'decide'."

There are many people who should assess their failures of judgement, skepticism, and courage in the wake of the Platner catastrophe, and it’s to Michelle’s great credit that she does so here. I hope others follow her example.

American soccer fans disappointed in the men’s World Cup should join the rest of us next year for the regular World Cup.

Personally, I think if you want a beefy leftist person in flannel you can't go wrong with a nice lesbian and I bet Maine has a deep bench.

Wenn ich richtig zähle, haben wir das seit ca. 2 Monaten mindestens EINMAL die Woche.

what are the comprehensible terrors of man compared with the interlinked terrors and wonders of God!

Sehr spannend, danke für den Link. Merci! (Das hier ist schon ein wenige älter, aber interessant zum Thema Bardella youtu.be/6fA1b4H8rzQ?...)

Wie @johannesfranzen.bsky.social einmal das Motto des Bundeskabinetts ausplauderte.

Technologieoffenheit, aber in echt.

Gibt es Gebärdendolmetscher*innen im Raum #dusseldorf, die kurzfristig am Samstag, den 11.07. beim Sozialprotest unterstützen und die Redebeiträge begleiten könnten? Geplant sind 7-8 Beiträge, je 5 Minuten, plus Anmoderationen und organisatorische Hinweise.

Heute entscheidet ein Pariser Berufungsgericht, ob der RN mit Marine Le Pen als Kandidatin in die Präsidentschaftswahl im Frühjahr 2027 gehen wird oder mit Jordan Bardella. Daran hängt auch die Wahlkampffinanzierung der Partei: Der RN ist immer noch auf der Suche nach Kreditgebern, die den Wahlkampf

One of my fave things in York Minster: a medieval wren stalking a spider. It reminds me that history isn't only kings and battles. Someone, centuries ago, found joy in the same things we still notice today. It's a reminder of how much we have in common over our differences.
