Morgen gedenkt der Bundestag erst dem Holocaust. Und dann bringt die CDU die ersten Anträge ein, um sie mit der AfD zu verabschieden. Keine Pointe.

Wir werden morgen sehen, wie die #AfD tatsächlich bei den rassistischen Anträgen der Union abstimmt. Und ich hoffe, das ich mich irre.

#NeverAgain also means never again gaslighting ourselves and others. Antisemitic and fascist language, symbols, and arm movements are what they are: Antisemitic and fascist. Especially when they come from the world's richest man and other powerful people! #HolocaustMemorialDay

The fact that the same people who were quick to condemn any forms of #PalestinianSolidarity, including those coming from Jewish people, as antisemitic, are now downplaying the most antisemitic gesture I can think of -

2,769 billionaires. 2024, the world's richest 10 on average gained 100 million USD DAILY! While 733 million people are starving. #ElonMusk will become the world's first trillionaire. That's one million times one million!

While many struggle to make ends meet, the wealth of the super-rich has soared. It doesn’t have to be this way. There’s another way—one that prioritises fairness, sustainability, and equality. It starts with making those at the top pay their fair share.

Surely none of that money people put in Trump's pockets came with strings attached, and surely this newfound crypto wealth will in no way shape the administration's approach to regulating that new, volatile market in the interests of the public good.
(Axios) - The $TRUMP memecoin — a financial asset that didn't exist on Friday afternoon — now accounts for about 89% of Donald Trump's net worth.
