"Er wohned in Germany." (classe de première générale, théoriquement 5 ans d'étude de l'allemand)

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Ooh, is Trump one of them? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

Dustin just cracks me up. So this is for all who got up this morning, looked in the mirror, & thought: Oh, good grief. It's not you, you're fine. It's just your eyes were still in sleep mode & couldn't see how lovely you are. Sleepy, tousled & all. 🫶 #GoodMorning, everyone.

Donald Trump has sunk almost all of his businesses, leaving partners, collaborators, & staff out in the rain, struggling, bancrupt, while extorting & keeping every cent for himself. He's doing the same to his biggest business so far: the United States.

How to get your country back.

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there. This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

It might be a hot topic, but the amount of misinformation & ignorance about immigration & visas is staggering. As a fmr 🇦🇺 Family Migration Officer & part of a 🇩🇪🇬🇧 family, I was particularly happy to find this video. It explains spouse migration. Because spouses 'can't just come & live in the UK'.

Jocelyn Brooks pursued her dream of working in medicine after she escaped from the World Trade Center on 9/11. “I want to hold somebody’s hands when they’re crying and when they’re at their lowest because I survived,” she said.

More important than ever in these dark times.

Excellent points.

The reason modern society and economy are heading towards a precipice, is because we are entirely in thrall to a system based on greed, short-term profit, exploitation and environmental destruction System change - not climate change 💪

Warum thematisiert man 100 Milliarden Steuerhinterziehungen nicht? Weil man sonst was dagegen tun müsste. Die Fälle des Bürgergeldbetrugs, bei denen der Schaden nicht mal den Millionenbereich erreicht, bringt die Volksseele zum Kochen.

Warsaw opens metro station ‘express’ library to get commuters off their phones

This (Sun Times) is why the Reform clownshow feels unstoppable… The media knows they’re a lying bunch of loons but insists Farage has “immense political skill” FFS. He just shouts his mouth off and no one (certainly not The Times) holds him to account on anything. That’s not skill. It’s sponsorship.

I hate the politics of Farage and what Britain has become. Whatever your views on Angela Rayner, attacking her home, when they know know full well that she has a disabled son, is an absolutely disgrace.The BBC has given this horrible man a disproportionate platform to spout his divisive rhetoric.

From today's @financialtimes.com #zacpolanski

Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.

Excellent article. IMHO this quote sums up the difference between Twitter/X and Bluesky: ""I use social media to talk about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish."

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into. 🫣 Anonymous - but right

Scientists, teachers, National Guards & many more are currently conflicted: Do they stay & mitigate, or do they resign? A difficult choice, a personal one. This is not about keeping one's head down, not about going along. The choice is: opposition from the outside or from within.

New study on #BlueSky for #SciComm. “Bluesky posts demonstrate substantially higher levels of interaction (likes, reposts, replies, and quotes) and greater textual originality than previously reported for X, suggesting both stronger interactive and more interpretive engagement.” 🦋🦫🌱🐋🧪 #philsci

He would bomb the wrong Scandinavian country.

Okay folks, someone's made it very easy for you. Need to study up on Dark Enlightenment to understand what's going on, the destruction of our government, totally. Open this up and you will see a quick outline of the major points and the people behind it, such as Peter Thiel and JD Vance. Do it.

If you're young Or old Or a woman If you've got a disability Or, you've a SEND If you're LGBTQ+ Or you're from an ethnic minority If you need care Or you're in the forces And if you're in Northern Ireland Then Farage's plan to abolish human rights law is going to screw you

What losing the Human Rights Act really means for you youtu.be/MNAZZDkdmPo?...

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Bellingcat has just launched a tool for searching through transcripts of local council meetings in the UK, which should help counter acts like these council-search.bellingcat.com

BBC was absolutely complicit in delivering Brexit. Authoritarians like to deflect and say the BBC is woke or PC when in fact its news service is the complete opposite. BBC Southern local news is always leading with a ReFUK Kent CC story. Never see or hear Greens points of view on the BBC news.

There's only one explanation and, at this stage, only now one solution. One-man think tank Anthony. I wish the @democrats.org would listen. What does it take for @schumer.senate.gov to act? There's nothing to 'deliberate' anymore. This is the end game.

It's the depressing same across borders: The more outrageous the views, the more airtime they get. Until even hideous policies, calmly debated & explained, rarely challenged or fact-checked, become more & more normal, permissible, acceptable. We award extremists the room & respect they deny others.

Quote of the Day: ”In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.” - David Foster Wallace #QuoteOfTheDay #DavidFosterWallace #Voting #Elections

The no.s are similar in every Western country, & in every Western country, media amplifying anti-immigration scares creates the impression we're in a crisis. We're not. There's no immigration emergency. Asylum applications are 10% of overall visa applications (2024: 84,200, Commons Library)

Following a prepared plan (Agenda 2025) means the far-right can implement many things at the same time; it's hard to keep track. Many experts in their field are trying their best to explain what we might miss (also for lack of in-depth reporting). Like Liz Oyer, fmr Dept of Justice Pardon Attorney.

Germany here. Yes, they are.

So true 🥺

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

From the outside, it seems some have still not understood the seriousness of the situation & urgency of mass action against an authoritarian regime that establishes itself more every day. Where's the mobilisation to save your rights, democracy, safety? #USA A view from Europe.

Thomas Deininger uses plastic waste to create sculptures,or should I say,works of Genius!!!!!!

I never felt unsafe in the holiday flat I booked in east London to be near an event I was attending. I quickly discovered I was almost the only white, female face around. And everyone was friendly, welcoming - just normal. I was monumentally unsurprised.
