War schon länger nicht mehr drüben. Hab früher ne Zeit lang über H4 getwittert, später gegen Corona #CovidZero, und für Waffen an UA.

Because the thing about (what used to be) Twitter isn’t just the actual Nazis and the Russian networks and the monetized conspiracists and the supplement bros — it’s the f***ing algorithm which is being manipulated to MAKE AMERICANS LOSE THEIR MINDS as an experiment by astronomically wealthy people

Day 1000. My life changed drastically since day 1.

Everyone said Ukraine will fall in 3 days. Not a single person believed in us, but we fought fiercely in 2022, against all odds, and we won the battle of Kyiv.

My thoughts on 1000 days, as a soldier of Ukrainian Army now🧵

Das Schweigen der #CDU zum Rückzug von #Wanderwitz ist genau so laut und dröhnend wie damals, ihr Parteikollege , RP Walter #Lübcke, 2019 auf seiner Terrasse von #Faschisten hingerichtet wurde.
Und zeigt die gesamte Widerlichkeit und charakterliche Verrohung großer Teile dieser Partei.

Wenn ich das Programm der #CDU richtig verstehe, wollen die alles wieder zurücknehmen, was die #Ampel in den letzten drei Jahren beschlossen hat.

Also das Land in einen Zustand zurückzuführen, wegen dem die #CDU nach 16 Jahren abgewählt wurde.

Today’s missile strike, presumably targeting bunkers with Korean and Russian moles in the Kursk region. All the targets have been known for a long time – the strike was carried out just two days after receiving authorisation. In reality, this confirms that Ukraine is fighting with its hands tied.

Bill Ackman wants to assimilate us all back into Twitter to "avoid fragmentation" and "keep people together." 😬

This is a screenshot because I'm not giving him the traffic.

"Das kann man doch nicht vergleichen!" ist übrigens ein Spruch, mit dem Du es immer durchsetzen kannst, den Fehler, den jemand anders grade gemacht hat, gleich nochmal zu machen.

Denn: Jeder Fehler wurde schonmal gemacht. Nur nicht von jedem.

die komplette Partei. Und bevor es da ansatzweise zu einer Konfrontation oder Aufarbeitung kommt, kotzen Fanboys and Girls dir schon Relativierungen und Rechtfertigungen vor die Füße, die deiner Kritik vermeintlich die Berechtigung absprechen.

there’s yet another EU country with a far-right figure gaining strength – Romania 🇷🇴

you might not have been following it but @unawrites.bsky.social has been. this is why you should follow her immediately. read her work on identity, nationalism and other fun topics in @politico.eu and other places.
A month ago, nobody thought far-right AUR leader George Simion was going to get to the second round of the upcoming presidential elections. On a live TV debate just now, he said Romania should offer a “bilateral alliance to Donald Trump.”
Romania, Verified poll:

Presidential election

Ciolacu (PSD-S&D): 26%
Simion (AUR-ECR): 19% (-2)
Lasconi (USR-RE): 17% (+1)
Geoană (*): 8% (-5)
Ciucă (PNL-EPP): 7% (-1)
...

+/- vs. 01-06 November 2024

Fieldwork: 08-14 November 2024
Sample size: 968

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

1) what drives people's support for autocratic candidates
2) what conditions of religion uphold/undermine support for pluralism

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.
between anti-abortion extremists and rfk the trump administration seems to be a targeted effort to increase maternal and early childhood mortality

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
