Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Carney: I won’t make it to your birthday party Toddler Trump: I don’t care, I uninvited you anyway (and I’m totally not mad)

As the King Holiday Weekend begins, the NBA honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s pursuit of racial, social, and economic justice. The time is always right to do what is right. To learn more and get involved visit NBA.com/mlk

Perfect example of a brainwashed “anti-imperialist” who is so focused on “external agitators” that he denies people protesting their oppressive regimes

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

“I want a progressive movement that is aggressively pro raising wages at the bottom and aggressively pro immigration. These are completely coherent goals.” Great piece by @polphilpod.bsky.social www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

These campists are so incredibly dumb: “you opposed a brutal dictator rejected by a large majority of his own population, so you’re obviously a CIA shill and support interventions, duh”. Possibly the most simple people around

Using US taxpayer dollars to bomb people and steal another country’s oil for oligarchs to sell to US taxpayers. Taxpayers pay twice, the rich get richer, and climate change from burning fossil fuels gets worse, spreading disasters globally. Murder, corruption, theft, terrorism, climate destruction.

Conflict is spiking worldwide, and major wars have erupted with terrible frequency. Where 2025 was a bloody affair, 2026 also promises little better as the world continues careening into a dangerous new era. 2/3 foreignpolicy.com/2025/12/31/1...

My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are.

Rest in power Isiah Whitlock Jr., you absolute legend!

rip brigitte bardot, our entire culture owes a debt to her pioneering example of being hot and racist

"Das ist eine hysterische Debatte"; "wir sollten die Kirche im Dorf lassen"; "das sind einige bedenkenswerte Kritikpunkte drin"; "die USA bleiben unser wichtigster Partner"; "nichts wird so heiß gegessen, wie es gekocht wird"... So wird man nicht ernstgenommen, sondern immer weiter erpresst.

BREAKING: Da steht er jetzt! Walter Lübcke – vor der CDU-Parteizentrale. Er mahnt gegen den Kurs einer Annäherung zur AfD. – Lübcke wurde von einem AfD-Anhänger erschossen. Wer den Fall kennt, baut Brandmauern. Hilf der CDU und werde Teil der Gedenkstätte: cdu-denkmal.de

the use of "color revolution" here is like the spoor of the authoritarian internationale--the way that russian propaganda has slithered its way in to the american right

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...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

By M$DNC shitlib logic, Russian teens are villains when they're drafted by Putin, who I do not support, for a Ukrainian invasion, which I do not support... but they're victims when they're drafted by Jeffrey Epstein, who I do not support, for adult/teen sex, which I do support. by Glenn Greenwald

In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes. In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

"Europe faces an existential choice: build genuine technological sovereignty now, or accept governance by platforms whose architects view democracy as an obsolete operating system." authoritarian-stack.info

As a German & American, I wish our citizens were half as mobilized about our own corruption scandals as Ukrainians are about theirs. Look at Schröder, Schwesig, MAGA grift… We must demand consequences too. Stop fighting corruption & democracy doesn’t just decline. It gets taken.

It becomes overly clear why #MeToo was considered such a threat by powerful men and why they have done everything to mock and discredit it.

✍️ “There has been a serious acceleration of violence in the West Bank, all part of the Israeli government’s explicit agenda of expanding and deepening its control.” Our Israel analyst explains why it is vital to halt violence in the West Bank for @nytimes.com. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/o...

If the system isn’t reformed very soon, there is going to be a revolution and it won’t be pretty

Dick Cheney was an unrepentant war criminal, who orchestrated one of the worst foreign interventions of our times based on lies and deception. He also paved the way for the ongoing erosion of the rule of law and growing police state. May he be remembered as the terrible person he was.

Erschreckend, wie herz- und kopflos, ja wahnhaft Konservative auf Wadephuls Aussage zu Syrien reagieren. Es ist schlimm genug, weitere Migration mit allen Mitteln begrenzen zu wollen. Aber es hat noch mal eine andere Qualität, Menschen, die hier seit Jahren leben, einfach nur loswerden zu wollen.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Bei der Debatte um die Äusserungen von Merz geht es um Rassismus, die Normalisierung rechtsradikaler Politik und eine schleichende Faschisierung der vermeintlichen politischen «Mitte» in Deutschland. Wer das mit dem Hinweis abtut, es gäbe doch wichtigere Probleme, leistet diesen Tendenzen Vorschub

My position on "from the river to the sea" is that if you consider this a racist or even genocidal slogan, I expect you to demand the expulsion of Israel's ambassadors - given that this is Israel's official position, not just rhetorically but also put in action on a daily manner.

mitteextremismus ist, wenn es dir wichtiger ist, dein persönliches erlebnis als mal das stadtbild unschön war zu verteigen, als merz' gefährlichen rassismus zu verurteilen.

It took only about 10 month for the US to attain levels of corruption that would make Imelda Marcos and the Orbans blush.

"Umwelt- und Klimaaktivistin Luisa Neubauer hat zu einer spontanen Demonstration vor der CDU-Bundesgeschäftsstelle in Berlin aufgerufen. Anlass sind die jüngsten Äußerungen von CDU-Chef und Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz." Heute um 17:30! www.zeit.de/news/2025-10...

The newspaper that mainstreamed Chris Rufo, Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Charlie Kirk renews its calls to meet fascists halfway:

Spread the word if you agree. Make an example out of one company, others will follow.

Wir sind das Stadtbild! Heute 17:30, Demo in Berlin! Brandmauer hoch! www.demokrateam.org/aktionen/wir...

Wie Friedrich Merz über Menschen spricht, ist nicht nur eines Bundeskanzlers unwürdig - es ist ein Armutszeugnis für jeden denkenden und fühlenden Menschen und muss parteiübergreifend von allen, die Anstand und Bürgerlichkeit beanspruchen, kritisiert werden. #NichtMeinKanzler #ProblemeImStadtbild

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

While there is "some joy" in knowing that bombs have stopped falling on Gaza, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé warns that many Israeli leaders remain committed to using violence in order to "wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country." Ilan Pappé's new book is "Israel on the Brink."

Some kid is doing the standard “ur mom” voice chat trash talk and they got no idea they’re talking to bashar al assad

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

Men will force generals to fly in from around the world to watch them rant instead of going to therapy

This is what Israel’s impunity does to you and everyone. Trump sending him another 6 billion USD in weapons just now… edition.cnn.com/2025/09/21/m...

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

OUT NOW: @michaelehayden.bsky.social and I made one of our “Who the Hell?” episodes for Charlie Kirk to counter the gross revisionism and lies in mainstream press. We covered how he died and how he lived — honestly Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4Pxo...

Dieses Framing, dass es 2015 einen Kontrollverlust gab, als Deutschland vielen Geflüchteten half. Warum übernehmen Medien das? Seit wann ist Helfen ein Kontrollverlust? Warum sprechen wir nicht von Krisen bei kaputt gesparten Verwaltungen und staatl. Institutionen, die für Hilfe zuständig sind?
