The issue people here seem to want to wish away is: the existence of the second toaster represents both an Impressive development and a much graver threat to public safety than the first toaster.

Man probiert wirklich alles, um die AfD zu stoppen. Außer gerechte Sozialpolitik oder ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren eben, aber das sind ja auch so verrückte Ideen, die halt funktionieren würden.

The lab leak theory is not a strict scientific theory, but mostly a narrative of different allegations Rand Paul is not only falsely accusing Fauci of creating SARS-CoV-2, he is endorsing a very stupid version of the origin theory that has incredibly strong evidence against it. Let me illustrate:

Ohne die blöde Hetzkampagne gegen Habeck und das "Heizungsgesetz" wären wir jetzt schon viel weiter - und energiepolitisch weit weniger abhängig von dem, was Trump, Iran usw. veranstalten. Dass Reiche bewusst weiter in die falsche Richtung marschiert, ist eine Frechheit und eine Gefahr für uns alle.

"ICE agents should just have badges and nameplates" "Or, hear me out, how about a QR code that you have to have a phone for, and have to get up close to scan, and the officer has to hold still, and no one can ID them from even a short distance, and maybe it has malware in the code too?"

Ritchie Torres@ritchietorres.bsky.social

I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency. ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

CanIcallYouKate reposted

Because international media largely seems to struggle to choose the correct wording to describe what’s happening: the US, under the self describes „peace president“, attacked another country and kidnapped its president. That is factual, no matter how bad or illegitimate Maduro‘s rule is (very bad).

The purpose of government is for the betterment of the people. Otherwise it is a tool to extract, exploit, and control us for greedy, immoral, and evil purposes. We see clearly in this choice the moral bankruptcy of these who have forgotten how they came to be ALLOWED to judge and govern.

Cops go to protests to brutalize protestors. That is their job. It’s what they’re for.

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Let that sink in "Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Niemand wird rassistisch wegen Migranten oder Straftaten. Sie werden rassistisch, weil zu viele Medien ihnen die ganze Zeit einreden, es gäbe „zu viele“ Migranten & sie nur mit Straftaten in Verbindung bringen. Das ist komplett medial fabriziert. Wo weniger Schutzsuchende leben, ist die AfD stärker.

Während in den USA gerade die Pressefreiheit abgeschafft wird, lassen wir uns hierzulande von denen, die die US-Faschisten bejubeln, einreden, unsere Medien seien „linksgrünversifft“ und bräuchten ganz dringend mehr rechte Fake News und Verschwörungsmythen. Sieht das denn keiner, wo das hingeht?!

CanIcallYouKate reposted

Das beste Anzeichen dafür, wie weit rechts unsere Medien bereits sind, sieht man daran, dass Radiosender jede halbe Stunde und die Tagesschau sogar mit einer Live Übertragung von der Trauerfeier eines US-amerikanischen Faschisten berichten. Aber fürs Klima haben wir keinen Platz.

Did any of these people actually read or listen to what Kirk actually said or did? I don’t know how you can portray someone who created a “professor watchlist” as a free speech champion or how someone who said vile things about minorities and immigrants was being civil.

Believe it or not this is from an entirely different column. And again—no.

It is insane for this to be the only evidence you cite in your editorial about political violence. The far right has been responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks in the United States for years. Republican leaders routinely celebrate extrajudicial killings and refuse to regulate guns.

Charlie Kirk war nicht "konservativ" oder "rechts-konservativ". Charlie Kirk war ein rechtsextremer Rassist, Sexist und Faschist. Jemand mit Einstellungen, die Teile der AfD moderat erscheinen lassen. Man muss sein politisches Projekt nicht beschönigen, um seine Ermordung zu verurteilen.

CanIcallYouKate reposted

Newsom choosing to frame right-wing extremist as someone interested in „good-faith debate“ & engaging „with each other, across ideology“, is asinine. Kirk promoted the „Great Replacement“ conspiracy theory, spewed hate against LGBTQ people, called for a „patriot“ to bail out Paul Pelosi‘s attacker

Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Als überall im Land Galgen standen und Habeck von Bauern mit Mistgabeln bedrängt wurde, hieß es, man müsse ihnen zuhören. Wenn das millionste Interview mit einer Faschistin zur Primetime im ÖRR von Protestierenden gestört wird, heißt es, man müsse ihr zuhören. Merkste selbst, ne?

Einer der beiden, die den Täter von Aschaffenburg verfolgt haben, bis die Polizei ihn festnehmen konnte, bekam dafür Dankesschreiben von Söder und vom Innenministerium. Jetzt wird er abgeschoben. Wenn ihr nach mehr Abschiebungen ruft, dann sind es vor allem diese Menschen, die es erwischt.

Die ganze „gender critical“ Rhetorik zielte immer darauf ab, nur bestimmte patriarchal gebilligte Formen von Weiblichkeit zuzulassen. Anders gesagt: „Frau“ ist nur, wer lange Haare hat, zierlich ist - patriarchalen, von white supremacy geprägten „Schönheitsidealen“ entspricht.

Liebe Tagesschau, bei allem Verständnis für unaufgeregte und neutrale Berichterstattung, aber ein Staatsstreich ist kein "Bürokratieabbau". So wenig wie eine Enthauptung eine Kopfschmerztherapie ist.

My lab strives to reduce infertility, miscarriages, and birth defects. We want y’all to have healthy kids. I know it sounds weird, but indirect costs pay for lights, HVAC, maintenance, cleaning, safety, and admin. It’s really hard to reduce birth defects in the dark. Call your representatives

Universities — including the schools that most aggressively shut down student activism — are now fully panicking because the Trump administration is about to shut down all kinds of funding for research and more. Too bad they made it clear that their students shouldn’t speak up and speak out.

Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency: the General Services Administration. His former employees are trying to use White House credentials to access GSA's tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more:

Another way the government is not like a business. The Office of Personnel Management is not some corporate Human Resources department. There are security clearance files. FBI background checks. A slew of personal info. Could be used for profiling, selective intimidation, blackmail, who knows what.

This story is bananas. "A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20 ... They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency's headquarters, which contains the director's office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort."
