Manche Politiker sollte man anlasslos einem Verhaltenstest unterziehen. Da würden einige überführt werden - insbesondere wenn es um demokratiefeindliches Verhalten geht. Unerträglich!

On the surface, it's about drugs or child abuse. But at its core, it's about the comprehensive surveillance of dissidents, journalists, and other individuals who may be unwelcome in authoritarian states. This seems to be a real pandemic that has infected politicians internationally.

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is. The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Thread, lesen! 👇

It's just naive and sad

ICYMI Our Department of Education, which is helmed by a woman connected to a scandal involving child abuse, who was appointed by a man connected to a scandal involving child abuse, is now refusing to recognize the professions of our country’s mandated reporters of… child abuse.

Terrific

In a world where Trump punches down, be like Pope Leo and lift people up.

Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway. My newsletter.

Joined @karenattiah.bsky.social ‘s Resistance Studies Series last month to lecture on Black press history. Columbia cancelled Karen’s race/media course before her firing from the WaPo. Still, she persists. And we resist. The work is for our communities. www.instagram.com/reel/DRSb0qG...

Come on! Something is deeply wrong and it is not only the Republicans!

"Today, what drives people to garden may not be the fear of hunger so much as hunger for physical contact, hope for nature’s resilience and a longing to engage in work that is real." #soil #soilscience

Wow! "New research provides evidence that support for the Black Lives Matter movement may help protect Black young adults from the negative mental health effects of viewing videos depicting police violence." #blacklivesmatter #psycology

Es gibt gerade sicherlich andere Probleme, wo genauer hingeschaut werden sollte - oder?

www.deutschlandfunk.de/corona-beric... Ich hatte mal überschlagen, dass eine ca. 2-3 Woche spätere Reaktion in D ca. 60.000 zusätzliche Todesfälle bedeutet hätte. Das scheint wohl mit dieser Schätzung aus UK übereinzustimmen.

Die Union fährt gerade einiges an die Wand. Wo soll das enden? Wenn das Stadtbild gesäubert ist, wenn die Frauen nur noch Hausarbeit machen, brauchen wir dann biodeutsche Kinderarbeit um die Reichen zu finanzieren, Zwangsarbeiter?

WT... System breakdown!

All critical voices are silenced. But what does critical mean? Fact-based is not the same as critical. It is more about those voices that disturb the fascists and their uber-rich financiers in their destruction of the world.

They are doing all this completely openly — they want everyone to know what their plans are — and all the uberrich are playing along! Although the Post criticised Trump this week, a 'purge' has already begun: @karenattiah.bsky.social, for example, was fired for no reason. The direction is clear.

Das ist eine wichtige Studie!

The European Parliament's far right scored a major victory last week when the center-right EPP worked with them to press ahead with plans to cut green rules. Now, the far right has its eyes set on migrants, cars and red tape. 🔗  politi.co/485yw3V

🇸🇪 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden: "It is not reasonable that the EU's support for Ukraine since 2022 is less than the purchases of Russian energy. Now the EU countries must use the frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. Russia must pay."

Das Bild einer Entfremdung: Die Stipendiaten der Deutschlandstiftung Integration verlassen bei der Rede des Bundeskanzlers den Saal. Viele wollen es nicht verstehen oder wahr haben, aber die Äußerungen des Kanzlers haben enorme Kränkungen verursacht.

"The entire WhatsApp member directory was available online. Researchers were able to download all phone numbers and other data—including public keys. They found more than 3.5 billion accounts. In terms of the number of people affected, it is the largest data leak of all time." #whatsapp #meta #leak

Here we are with phones. Soon we will be there with cars! 🌍☀️🧪

Meghan McCain has a question for Megyn Kelly: “Why are we having a conversation about what is okay or more socially acceptable when it comes to pedophilia?”

So far, I have installed @GrapheneOS.org on about six devices with different levels of Google Play integration. It installs and works perfectly, offers the highest level of security, and gives you full control. It feels good to know that surveillance capitalism is locked out! #GrapheneOS

Söder (CSU) hat den Bau neuer, kleiner Kernkraftwerke gefordert: "Es geht nicht darum, dass wie früher große Meiler hochgezogen werden. Ich spreche von kleineren, smarten Reaktoren" (Tagesschau.de) Es ist gefährlicher Populismus, das Gegenteil von smart! #Söder #nuclear #Atomkraft

Es sind diese Junker, die die Bauernproteste angetrieben haben. Es waren keine Proteste von Kleinbauern, die in romantischer Idylle ihre Kühe streicheln und den Boden zart behandeln. Es ist die der AFD nahestehende Agrarindustrie, die in völlig ausgeräumten Landschaften ihren Gewinn optimiert.

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

Was es festzuhalten gilt:

Verhaftung im Reichsbürger- und Coronaleugner-Milieu: Laut Generalbundesanwalt wurde gestern Martin S. verhaftet unter dem Verdacht der Terrorismusfinanzierung, der Anleitung zu schweren staatsgefährdenden Straftaten und gefährdenden Verbreitens personenbezogener Daten.

"Those who launched the latest attack on the BBC have close ties to the MAGA movement, from Friends of Trump like Farage and former Tory Prime Minister Boris Johnson to others with links to the US Christian Nationalist organisation the Heritage Foundation."

This 👇 "It’s a badge of shame upon the American journalism industry that nonwhite, non-male voices are being shuffled out. Black women being fired only get headlines and getting “badges of honor”, instead of boycotts in our honor."
