Es geht um den US-Bachelor, deutsche Schwanenschläger und bedauerlicherweise auch um Aleks Petrovic. Hinterher befehle ich euch Euch, für wen ihr bei #IBES anrufen müsst. Fun Times also, kommt rum! www.kulturzentrum-faust.de/veranstaltun...

Dass Trash-TV politisch ist, zeigt sich gerade wieder aufs schönste und schröcklichste im Gesellschaftsplanspiel Dachungelcamp. Wie explizit Popkultur und Politik sich in diesem Genre die Patschehand geben, erzählen @ardenthistorian.bsky.social und ich euch nächsten Donnerstag (5.2.) in Hannover.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Liebe Patrons - ein neues #USAUpdate kommt heute (Aufnahme hat länger gedauert, weil auf der Straße vor dem Hotel eifrig Schnee geschippt wurde, das wollte ich euren Ohren nicht zumuten)! Und: Wer heut Abend in Hannover ist - kommt ins Kulturzentrum Faust, da bin ich mit @anjaruetzel.bsky.social

Heartbreaking to see how the UK is destroying its excellent higher education system.

Crazy. It appears the secret police had a secret boss. (Someone with no law enforcement experience.) And that Bovino baldly lied about it under oath. abc7chicago.com/amp/post/ope...

Steve Bannon, "We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti? Vance: For what?

This Sunday on Straight White American Jesus @ardenthistorian.bsky.social interviews @sethcotlar.bsky.social:

Turns out allowing the guy who doesn’t let the employees of his other company take bathroom breaks own a newspaper was really a very bad idea

Friends at the Post say they have been asked to sign up for two hour times slots to come pick up their things after getting news of their jobs being gone

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo--- TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

WaPo laying off entire Middle East team

WaPo also closing Books section and downsizing International and Metro sections

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

Who committed that bloodshed, pray tell?

Heut Abend bin ich um 19.30h im Literaturhaus Hamburg auf einem Panel zu den USA - kommt vorbei!

Leere Regale in deutschen Baumärkten. Die WeLt Redaktion hat sämtliche Lacke weggesoffen.

Der Artikel über die Filmpremiere von Melania in der WELT könnte so auch 1:1 auf einem rechten Schmuddelblog stehen. Das ist ganz klar die Blattlinie und kein Ausreißer.

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states. People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

Trump could not be more explicit about his intention to rig elections this year and in 2028

Gabbard, as head of the US intelligence community, isn't even supposed to be doing domestic law enforcement. But she's on the ground coordinating between the president and the FBI agents on the ground.

Holy shit. Not only was Tulsi Gabbard present for the raid on Georgia's election center, she called Trump and put him on speaker phone to the FBI agents conducting the raid! (Gift link)

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal

Das Dokument zeigt in der Tat eine Liste von Namen und Kreditkarten, darunter S. zu Guttenberg. Die Liste scheint laut URL im Rahmen des Epstein-Dumps veröffentlicht worden zu sein- eine Beziehung zu Epstein/Zahlungen lassen sich daraus aber nicht ableiten.

Nutzt man aber das Aktenzeichen des Dokuments und sucht in den Files nach dem direkt davor, findet man das hier 👇 Was stark darauf hindeutet, dass es explizit nur am das Kartenlimit von Epstein ging - und alle anderen dort nicht wegen ihm stehen (evtl. Abfrage spezifisch wg. Limiterhöhung).

Eine Liste von Karteninhabern von der Deutsche Bank of America aus einer internen E-Mail Kommunikation dererseits. Es ging explizit nur am das Kartenlimit von Epstein, welches wohl in dem Zusammenhang aufgefallen ist. 👇🧵 Kein anderer Name dort hat diesbzgl. irgendwas mit Epstein zu tun.

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth's dad...she and her mom were freed tonight! Updated story: sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Gemeinsam mit unserer Außenreporterin @anjaruetzel.bsky.social haben wir das neue MAGA Reality Tv Format geschaut. Members Only gewährt Einblicke in die High Society Palm Beachs, wo sich Status & Macht allein über die Nähe zu Trump & Musk zu definieren scheinen. open.spotify.com/episode/7bgJ...

I have to listen to far-right podcasts all the time for work and I do not agree that the solution to any of our problems is for more people to listen to far-right podcasts

Das Jobcenter verpflichtet Menschen zu Integrationskursen, ihre Anträge werden aber auf Druck von Minister Dobrindt nicht bearbeitet und die Kurs gestrichen. Die Folge: Sanktionen vom Jobcenter und von der Ausländerbehörde. Regierungspolitik als Schikane und Psychoterror. www.fr.de/politik/inte...

"Bemerkenswert ist schließlich auch, mit welcher Verzögerung der Vorgang zu größeren öffentlichen Reaktionen führte. Die Kolumnistin Anja Rützel hatte den „Sketch“ in ihrer täglichen Spiegel-Kolumne bereits am vergangenen Donnerstag beschrieben ..."

Die Überschrift, ey, wie sollen wir uns bitte weiter über cis Männer lustig machen, wenn sie sich selbst am Besten komplett lächerlich machen? Ich würde lachen, wenn nicht genau diese Anspruchshaltung FLINTA Personen das Leben kosten würde.

📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

I'm glad Dr Todd and Prof Callard remind us right at the start of their article that the Sullivan Review was commissioned as part of the Conservative Party's "Kicking Woke Ideology Out of Science" programme. A strong and stable grounding for policy-based evidence-making.

Wasn't necessarily expecting to get our research covered in Attitude Mag but I'm so glad @attitudemag.bsky.social has: "We are calling upon researchers across the UK to reject the recommendations of the Sullivan Review," says Dr Jay Todd @jaytoddgla.bsky.social" www.attitude.co.uk/news/uk-gove...

Recommendations from the Sullivan Review could undermine the quality of public institutions’ research, erode academic freedom, and threaten the rights of trans and gender diverse people if widely adopted, @uofgges.bsky.social researchers have warned. Read more here: www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...

Liebe Medien, "Sozialreformen" ist ein Unwort. Reform hieß mal: Verbesserung, Fortschritt, etwas zum Besseren verändern. Heute ist es Neusprech für Kürzungen, Abbau, Privatisierung. Eure Sprache dreht die Realität um. Ehrlicher wäre: Sozialkürzungen, Leistungsabbau, Entsolidarisierung. Nennt es so.

Seriously, it shouldn't be hard to identify the other reporters in the Oval Office and to ask them why they remain silent when the president of the United States verbally attacks one of their colleagues.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

some of the chaps running for the far-right Forum for Democracy (FvD) in local elections in the Netherlands - guys who’ve praised the Nazi occupation of NL, praise Breivik an Tarrant as “the divine duo” and more
