So the main culture war in Germany, fought by the country’s leader, is that despite mass deportations there are still too many non-white men in German cities: which needs to change so that white German daughters can feel safer. That’s an actual position that he is taking. An incitement to violence.

Horrific. Everyone needs to speak out against the demonization of trans people.
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews.

The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.

Say her name @apnews.com - Maryam Abu Daqqa risked her life working for you, yet now you refuse to say her name while spouting the same old IDF lies. Shame on the AP and all the mainstream media silent amid the slaughter of >250 Palestinian journalists - that's more than 20 colleagues each month.

Disgusting, genocidal propaganda served up as an ad. WTF, YouTube?

🧵If people want to believe that white supremacist misogynists & those inclined to listen to them are driven to their hate & voting patterns by words that are A) accurate & B) claimed by entire classes of people, well. Those people are fools.

Let's stop abandoning our values for imaginary votes, 'k?
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

In my experience, people often think that, wherever they live in the world, crime is particularly bad there. It's a fear fed by politicians and corporate media - and one that is often belied by the evidence on the ground if you actually visit the places that they're talking about.

Gute Frage
Das ist nicht mal mehr journalistisch grob fahrlässig, das ist die plumpe Wiederholung reaktionärer, rechtspopulistischer Narrative - und die Studien für den Beleg ihrer These, die nicht existieren, halluziniert sich die Autorin frei herbei. Wie kann so etwas durchgehen?

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Indiscriminately hunting and kidnapping people who are likely looking for a day of physical labor, and apparently anyone who looks Latino. In violation of a court order. Called Operation Trojan Horse because they came in a moving truck. This is how they promote themselves during a recruitment push.
New DHS propaganda video of yesterday’s “Trojan Horse” raid is out- From the official DHS government account. The joy they have in people’s pain- it’s beyond cruelty. They are hunting humans, our neighbors, for sport

The German Right flexes its muscles, terrorizes and gaslights an SPD candidate for the Constitutional Court into stepping down. An attack on the justice system and on democracy.
Schade, weil sie sicherlich eine kluge und besonnene, aber auch zupackende Richterin gewesen wäre. Aber niemand ist unersetzbar. Der eigentliche Schaden: Dass Teile der demokratischen Parteien nicht verstehen, dass hier der erste große rechtsautoritäre Angriff auf die Justiz läuft. 1/2

Rather than voice legitimate criticism of the airdrop of aid to Gazans facing starvation and genocide (that it's ineffective, dangerous, not nearly enough), this influential German MP from the governing CDU claims that it only helps Hamas.
