If cemeteries create a community of both the living and the dead, what happens when the living get displaced?
Case in point: German cemeteries in the PL "Recovered Lands."
All Saints' Day is a good day to reflect on what happens to memory in the absence of those who remember.

Die #SPD hat mittlerweile 10+ Jahre Erfahrung mit Rassisten und ähnlich auftretenden Leuten in der #CDU.
Gerade in Ländern wie Sachsen & Sachsen-Anhalt, wo die SPD einstellig geworden ist, während sie die Rassisten hofierte.

Von Links bis Mitte wird übelst draufgehauen, die Rassismus- und Nazikeule geschwungen anstatt Merz hart in der Sache zu stellen und reale Probleme anzusprechen.

Earnest question from Germany: is that a dog whistle for UK Putin fans, as it would be hereabouts?
Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.
But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

Davon werden die hiesigen kommunalen Allianzen zwischen AfDAP und CDU stark beeindruckt sein. Ganz sicher.
Entweder macht man sich unfreiwillig lächerlich oder man heißt Friedrich Merz
Merz kündigt härtere Gangart im Umgang mit der AfD an
In Umfragen feiert die AfD Erfolge. Kanzler und CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz will stärker auf Attacke schalten. „Sehr viel klarer, sehr viel deutlicher“ als bisher, kündigt er an.

They want rid of Ike’s sword because a +2 Sword of Antifascism isn’t the sort of thing a villain wants lying around for the next dungeon raid to loot.
These guys do know the King already owns quite a lot of swords, right?
I mean come the hell on…
The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,”

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
