Ein Paukenschlag:
Bekämpfung schädlicher Algorithmen; striktere Strafverfolgung bei Grok, TikTok, Instagram; uvm.

Und das alles schon ab nächster Woche.

Spanien macht vor, wie aus den Sonntagsreden über digitale Souveränität Taten folgen. 🇩🇪 & 🇪🇺 sollten sich ein Beispiel nehmen.

Devastatingly sad.
Every Labour MP should be forced to read this. In fact, every MP, who rushed back to Parliament to vote to save one steel mill, whilst hastening the collapse of dozens of universities - and harming the students, staff, communities and economies universities sustain and support

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵

”På vilka kristna principer vilar en politik som utvisar ensamma 4-åringar, skickar tonårstjejer till förtryckets Iran, separerar familjer och sänder kristna migranter till länder där de riskerar dödsstraff?”

JOEL HALLDORF: Nej, Ebba Busch förstår inte Bibeln
KD tycks överraskade över att de nu får kyrklig kritik för sin migrationspolitik. Joel Halldorf tycker att Ebba Busch reducerar kristendomen till politisk rekvisita.

When Maga oligarchs control the platforms, it isn’t really a debate about ‘free speech’ | Rafael Behr
The debate over banning under-16s from social media should raise deeper questions about who controls democracy’s digital infrastructure, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Rosa Louise Parks war eine US-amerikanische Bürgerrechtlerin, die sich 1955 weigerte, ihren Sitzplatz in einem Bus für einen Weißen zu räumen und damit als ein Anfang der US-Bürgerrechtsbewegung den Montgomery Bus Boycott auslöste.

Guten Morgen ☀️
Zwei elegante weiße Schwäne gleiten ruhig durch das kristallklare, flache Wasser eines weiten Sees. Im Vordergrund liegen dunkle, raue Felsen am Ufer, während durch das transparente Wasser die hellen Kieselsteine auf dem Grund deutlich zu erkennen sind. Der Blick reicht weit über die spiegelglatte Wasserfläche bis hin zu einer sanften Hügellandschaft mit Häusern am gegenüberliegenden Ufer und imposanten, schneebedeckten Berggipfeln am Horizont.

Most worrying thing about recent revelations is that everything was happening in plain sight

Those of us engaged in radical politics at the time pointed to the corruption and were dismissed as conspiracy theorists

Most journalists still ignoring the important issues of corruption and manipulation

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Stora fjällnära områden med ”mycket hög biologisk mångfald” har nu skyddats. Under 2025 har länsstyrelsen satsat på att informera om var det finns höga naturvärden, vilken typ av ersättning man kan få och hur man anmäler intresse för att skydda sin mark.

Heute könnte der schwedische Schriftsteller Henning Mankell, den viele durch seine , Kurt Wallander Reihe' kennen, seinen 78. Geburtstag feiern.
„Ein illegaler Mensch? Was soll das sein? Ein Einwanderer, dem lächerliche Papiere fehlen. Jeder Mensch ist in seiner Existenz legal"

Guten Morgen 🤍
Eine weite, winterliche Gebirgslandschaft unter einem hellblauen Himmel mit lockeren, weißen Wolken. Im Vordergrund erstreckt sich ein dunkler, dicht bewachsener Wald. Dahinter steigen sanftere, schneebedeckte Hügel mit vereinzelten dunklen Baumgruppen und Gehöften an, die in der Ferne in eine imposante, schroffe Kette aus schneebedeckten Berggipfeln übergehen. Die Szene wirkt friedlich, majestätisch und von einer klaren Winterluft erfüllt.

Inblick i en tysk egenhet: Den proisraeliska radikalvänstern. Jag var i Leipzig där aktivister insvepta i Israelflaggor ropar "var är era personsökare?" åt människor som demonstrerar för Palestina.
etc.se Dagens ETC @etc.se · 3d
Antifascism och Israelsolidaritet? I Tyskland är det ingen motsättning. Men den så kallade ”antityska” vänstern får allt svårare att hävda sig. Och möter nu motstånd direkt på gatorna.

Dagens ETC besökte ett av deras starkaste fästen i Leipzig.
Radikalvänster, antifascister – och alltid solidariska med Israel
Här får den med Palestinasjal att vända i dörren • Budskapet: ”Antifa means solidarity with Israel” • Vänster står mot vänster • Högerextremister ville fira med popcorn

The Holy Family with an angel and the prophetess Anna, 1795, by #CatharinaTreu (German, 1743-1811). Held by Historical Museum Bamberg, commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:17... #artherstory #nuntastic #CandlemasDay #womenartists #FeastofCandlemas #nuntastic #Candlemas #FeastofthePresentationoftheLord
A painting of the Holy Family with the seer Anna, at the temple on the day of Jesus' presentation. In the foreground are a frontlit Mary and Jesus, with the child standing on a white cloth on a surface on whcih also sits a sprig of a plant with red flowers or buds. He looks at the seer Anna, who stands facing sideways, holding out her arms up in front of her, with something (fruit? an apple?) in her left hand. In the background are Joseph and another person in red, holding up a bunch of green grapes over the mother and child.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.
