⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fire in the Holy Land is a sharp, uncompromising analysis of October 7 and its aftermath. No slogans, no excuses. It shows how antisemitism adapts, hides, and normalizes itself in Western discourse. Essential reading. #October7 #Antisemitism #Israel

Solidarity deserves honesty.
If a movement exists because of secular rights,
it’s worth asking what happens when it supports belief systems that don’t share those foundations.
Pointing out contradictions isn’t hostility.
It’s responsibility.

Our son is curious, thoughtful, and open.
He asks questions. He forms his own opinions.
People often tell us he seems confident and secure.
We believe children thrive when they grow up feeling safe, loved, and respected

Parenting isn’t about gender.
It’s about stability, commitment, and emotional presence.
These qualities matter — for every child.

Our child is seven years old.
We love him deeply — and he loves us.
We are two men, together for 17 years, married for 11.
We built our family intentionally, with care and responsibility.
This isn’t a political statement.
It’s our life..

Now we police labels.
If you think wrong, you’re excluded—not debated.

Multiple first-hand accounts describe the same pattern: extensive documentation requested from people seeking help, a case number issued — and then silence. For individuals facing real persecution, this raises serious questions about accountability.

Rainbow Railroad markets itself as a global lifeline for LGBTQ+ people under threat. But audited statements show qualifications, staffing seems thin for the scale claimed, and some first-hand accounts describe case numbers followed by silence. CEO messaging on identity silos raises further questions

Während meines Studiums waren meine Freunde Kommunisten, SPDler, Liberale, Konservative. Schwul, hetero — egal.
Wir stritten hart und blieben Freunde.
Heute reicht eine falsche Meinung, und du bist raus.
Das ist kein Fortschritt. Das ist Angst.

During my studies, my friends were communists, social democrats, liberals, conservatives. Gay, straight — it didn’t matter.
We argued fiercely and stayed friends.
Today, one wrong opinion and you’re out.
That’s not progress. It’s fear.

Dieses Album ist mir aufgefallen:
TrueFire Nation – Christmas Comes in Waves
Ruhig, unaufdringlich, ohne den üblichen Kitsch.
Wer genug vom Lärm hat, sollte reinhören.
Unterstützen lohnt sich.

Gesprochen wird erst, wenn es nichts kostet.
Geklatscht wird viel. Gestanden nie.
