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?"
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.

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.
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."
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.

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.

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
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.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.
Fußnote: Dass die "Bild" hier von "Jungenfrisuren" spricht, nicht etwa von Kurzhaarfrisuren, zeigt klar, auf welcher Seite sie steht.

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.

We are already beyond the point of “dangerous” here. What we’re seeing is a fascist consolidation across the board.
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."
