If there’s one thing I’ve learned from narrating romance books in the past couple years, it’s that romance fans are loyal, particular, and far smarter than anyone thinks. This is going to feel like they’re being condescended to, because it is. I don’t think they’ll take it well! And they shouldn’t!

Immer wieder taucht das Argument auf, man müsste AfD-Leute in Talkshows einladen, weil die ja gewählt seien und der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk einen Grundversorgungsauftrag habe, der alle relevanten politischen Kräfte abbilden müsse. Lasst uns da mal kurz raufschauen. 🧵

Anti-authoritarian “neighborism” and cross-racial solidarity from below are a massive problem for the regime, exposing Trumpism’s structural weaknesses and ideological blind spots.

Wie schaffen wir es, mehr Gutes in die Welt zu bringen? Also klar, wir könnten schonmal damit aufhören, die Dinge zu tun, von denen wir definitiv wissen, dass sie schlecht sind (für uns und andere). Aber dann? Was ist überhaupt das Gute? Wo finden wir Hoffnung? Und Mitstreiter*innen? ⬇️

Viele Accounts können oder wollen Trumps Bilder von den Obamas als Affen nicht benennen oder kritisieren, ohne dabei das Bild zu verbreiten. Erstaunlich. Liegt doch eigentlich nah: aus der Kritik am rassistischen Bild die Konsequenz zu ziehen, es nicht zu verbreiten.

Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
