Imagine writing this 2 years into genocide and being called Theresa Weiß. German media elites are really as delusional as the Gleichgeschaltete German media in the 1930s.

German cops arresting someone for displaying a pink triangle because it can be "mistaken" for a red triangle in support of Palestine is such an encapsulation of the liberal order everyone is desperate to maintain.

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Good news from Germany. The spineless genocide enablers of the @spdfraktion.de are on a historical low 13%. Its time for change, its time to kick out these despicable career politicians, its time for @dielinkeberlin.bsky.social www.tagesschau.de/inland/deuts...
SPD fällt im ARD-DeutschlandTrend auf 13 Prozent
Ob Wehrpflicht oder Stromsteuer - die Debatten darum bescheren den Sozialdemokraten sinkende Zustimmungswerte. Im aktuellen ARD-DeutschlandTrend liegen sie nur knapp über ihrem bisherigen Tiefststand....

Today—after the war was supposed to be over, due to the alleged destruction of Iran’s nuclear program—Israel has bombed Shahid Beheshti University (a war crime) and a landmark in Tehran’s Palestine Square (a war crime) and launched the worst bombing of Tehran yet.

Israel is out of fucking control.

Watched this interesting docu about frozen pizza's, really nice historical material from advertisements to consumer movement stuff that got the FDA to drop regulations about cheese percentage (they wanted to require 10, but that was to much). www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1hu...

Das @nymag.com schreibt darüber, wie man schreiben muss: Was Israel in Gaza tut, ist beispiellos & bedeutet das Ende des Völkerrechts. Von Kriegsverbrechen zu sprechen, ist eine Verharmlosung – ihre Zahl ist praktisch unermesslich, & anders als beim Holocaust geschehen sie täglich vor unseren Augen.
Israel’s Crimes of the Century
How Israel, with the help of the U.S., broke not only Gaza but the foundations of humanitarian law.

Summary:

- Dude is an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US
- ICE abducts and "detains" him
- Private "detention" facility has him doing farmwork
- So he's still an immigrant agricultural worker working in the US, but now paid only $1 a day

Nobody's been convicted of a crime or anything
Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

The Israeli government doesn't care about what happens to Iran once the IRGC threat is neutralised by shattering the Iranian state. Netanyahu probably views postwar Iran as a problem for US, China and the EU to fix.

This is not a repeat of American wars in the region.

It's much worse.

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Nearly 200 events related to the genocide in Palestine, cultural and academic, have been banned (often with police violence) in Germany. And the majority of German academics remain silent, in great contrast to academics elsewhere but in a German academic tradition. See; linktr.ee/archiveofsil...

Merz will prove in the next 4 years that Germany doesn't require the AfD to turn into an anti-democratic, anti-international law and human rights and authoritarian state. From right to protest, academic freedom etc. All eagerly enabled btw by the Greens and SPD.

This is just wishful thinking at this point and its really exactly this kind of wishful thinking that has been destroying the democrats (and large parts of the actual left in Europe). Exit polls show his favorability is up significantly. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favora...
