Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

post-Wende German political culture has been so profoundly structured around a deeply reductive "anti-totalitarian" narrative that conveniently conflates fascism and communism and renders reunified Germany's belonging to the capitalist liberal-democratic "West" a historical inevitability

one of the most baffling parts of this. I spent the last decade or so prepping to make the "first they came for ethnic studies" version of the Niemoller point to libs. while they did (see the CRT offensive and book bans) I absolutely did not think children's cancer researchers would be next in line
Someone really needs to point out to Bret Stephens types that burning down the entire university to get to the ethnic studies department is unlikely to work, because lots of people who would otherwise throw them to the wolves now see themselves as de facto on the same side as them.

idea: if the Dems' billionaire bankrollers/puppetmasters actually oppose the trumpian hollowing-out of public institutions & immediate attendant consequences, they should put their frankly criminal wealth to work in providing stop gap funding for all affected unis, medical/climate/ research etc

honestly, it should be written into law that your eviction order is invalid and illegal if it directly results in your homelessness bc of your inability to find/afford alternate housing. past time for the landlord class to shoulder more of the burden for the harms these parasites impose on society

it is consistently funny to me that grindr does not fall under the category of apps that iphone's "work focus" setting mutes, and that, as far as i can tell, there is no way to manually include it

"Hossam Shabat was a journalist – but also one of Gaza’s last prolific witnesses. A voice who cut through the noise and made us listen. His killing by Israeli forces isn’t just a loss. It is a silencing."
As Israel’s “General’s Plan” unfolded, I spoke with Hossam Shabat from northern Gaza. He stayed to document the reality on the ground. Now he’s gone – killed by Israeli forces.
