「性別は男女のみ」　トランス否定の大統領令「公権力によるヘイト」 https://www.asahi.com/articles/AST1P35BYT1PUTIL001M.html 〈内容は多岐にわたるが、性別移行のための医療を未成年に認めない▽公立の幼稚園や学校のスポーツチームを、生物学的な性別で分け、トランスの子どもや若者を事実上排除する▽親の許可がなければ、公立学校での名前や代名詞の変更を認めない▽公共施設のトイレなどを生物学的な性別で分ける――といったものが目立つ〉

世界が不穏な時こそ、本を読むことが大切だ、と図書館で心赴くままに本を借りたが、チョイスは不穏になってしまった（一部除く）

Da würde ich jetzt gern wissen, was passiert Offensichtlich kann man auf Instagram derzeit nicht nach #democrat suchen, aber nach #republican. Siehe hier Früher gab‘s eine deutschsprachige Pressestelle von Meta, denen man die Frage stellen konnte, was da passiert - guess what, die wurde eingespart

町と町を隔てる川にかかった橋を、色々な人々が行き来していた。だがそれが気に食わない過激な人が、橋を燃やそうと火をつけた。周りの人が慌てて水をかけ、火を消し、放火犯を捕まえた。 一件落着と思いきや、放火犯に同調し、橋を燃やそうとする模倣犯が現れ続けた。一方、燃える橋に水をかける人や、放火犯を批判する人々も増えていく。 そんな中、 「"火派"と"水派"の対立は深刻だ」 「水派が火派に歩み寄ることも必要だ」 「自分を正しいと思い込み、批判してばかりの水派こそが、むしろ社会を分断している」といった言葉も飛び交い始める。 本当に社会を分断するのは、水でも批判でも対立でもなく、橋が焼け落ちることなのだが。

「分断」という言葉はけっこう要注意だな、と思うことが最近増えて、というのも社会の「分断」という状態そのもの（橋がないこと）を嘆いてみせることで、なぜか「分断」のそもそもの原因を作り出した奴（橋を燃やす人）の所業が有耶無耶になってしまうことってあるよなと思って。 大統領に就任した人間が初日からこの世のあらゆる「橋」を全力で燃やしにかかっている姿を目にして、なおのことそう思った。 bsky.app/profile/numa...

正直なところ、そろそろ特別な理由もなくXとかいうSNSを使い続ける企業や著名人は「コンプライアンスが著しく欠けてるやつ」扱いしていっていいんじゃないか。 トップが大統領就任式でナチ敬礼した企業やぞ。認識と付き合い方を改めるこれ以上の機会って何？

Das ist ein aufschlussreicher Text über die Fehler der Demokraten der Weimarer Republik, aus dem man nur einen Schluss ziehen kann: Der Bundestag sollte der AfD entschlossen entgegen treten und den Verbotsantrag stellen.

It's difficult to overstate just how much professional journalists have been trained to fear defamation lawsuits and how much it has impacted the ability to tell the truth

Some of us have been warning about this and calling for anti-SLAPP laws (both federal and state) for years and years and years. And I'm not stopping now. Defamation law has been so widely abused to chill speech and so few people know it.

あれがナチ式なら甲子園の選手宣誓もナチ式だろうという人や、大戦前はアメリカでもローマ式敬礼をしてただろうという人をみかけるんだが、ヒトラーたちの所業は1000年以上の伝統がある所作を全て塗り替えるだけのインパクトがあったし、いまその所作を選ぶということは、人権の敵であることを表明することに他ならないんだよ。

The ADL hasn't fallen from a great height. You're just now learning who they've always been.

The ADL was illegally spying on the ACLU, the anti-kkk Center for Democratic Renewal, local Jewish peace groups, and other antiracist groups throughout the 80s and early 90s. The ADL hired a former CIA contractor to spy on American anti-apartheid activists allied with Nelson Mandela.

Trump’s first day was even worse than expected when it came to Ukraine and China, I put together this piece which is free for everyone. He actually referred to aid for Ukraine as a national “betrayal” , and no one seems to realize it. US aid to Ukraine is now dead. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is being processed for release in anticipation of clemency from Trump, according to this lawyer, @nytimes.com reports. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Tarrio was serving 22y for seditious conspiracy to overthrow the US government

ADL is a deeply compromised organization

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA YESSSSS

"The entire neo-Nazi movement seems to be eating it up,” says @nick-martin.bsky.social “He gave two unmistakable Nazi salutes and they got the message loud and clear.” www.wired.com/story/neo-na...

こういう発言もよく見るが、たとえば 「反"家父長制"って本人たちにとっては結構深刻な問題でもって怒ってたりして、それを"男性"側が聞く耳持たずずっっっっっと「感情的すぎる」と「バカにするだけ」だったから、反発が過激化してきた過程を見てきた身からすると、正直ことはこんな単純な話じゃないよなあとは思ってしまうんだよな…」 と、ちょっと言葉を入れ替えるだけで（たぶん発言者さんの想定とは真逆の）内容になってしまうんだよね。そして歴史的にはむしろそうした状況の方が「ずっっっっっと」長い。現実社会の不均衡にもう少し目を向けた方がいいのでは、と思いました bsky.app/profile/wata...

Bellingcat is currently working with universities to develop open source investigation courses in various fields and creating student-led investigative hubs at those universities, which seems well timed.

The rooms are filled with elderly residents, their hands wrinkled and backs bent. They shuffle slowly down the corridors, some using walkers. Workers help them bathe, eat, walk and take their medication. But this isn’t a nursing home – it’s Japan’s largest women’s prison.

Trump cracked jokes — "everyone calls me chaotic, but look at South Korea," he said one day. He said he'd meet with Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol "if they ever stop impeaching him."

Yoon supporters now in front of constitutional court, trying to enter just like yesterday at the Seoul Western District Court. Police is parking busses inches next to each other to prevent another breach

From my own reporting: X wouldn’t even show up for a hearing about foreign state actors trying to influence elections in Musk’s home country. An X official who had agreed to appear suddenly resigned before the hearing. Musk is to the EU what Yevgeny Prigozhin was to the US; Trump’s chef.

今日は堺能楽会館でバングラデシュの俳優アハマド・サキさんの舞台を見てきました。昨年7月のハシナ独裁政権への抗議の最中に殺された7人の死に様を表現したもので、グッとくるものがありました。殺されたのは数字ではなく人間。同時に上映された映画The Black Kiteは独裁政権によりインターネットが遮断されたバングラデシュで、抗議運動に参加していない人にいかに影響が及んだかを描いたもの。

Like a pathetic exiled kinglet, turfed off his throne and lingering at the fringes of a foreign warlord’s court to provide a fig leaf for his aggression in return for victuals, wine and a warm cloak.

Germany's far-right AfD nominated its co-leader Alice Weidel as chancellor candidate on Saturday. Delegates' placards read "Alice for Germany", which in German sounds similar to "All for Germany" (Alles fuer Deutschland) - an infamous Nazi slogan that German law prohibits to promote in public.
