When the freedom of science is threatened, it is not only the scientists who suffer, but society as a whole. When researchers are silenced, democracy erodes!

This is a message to all students and scientists at risk. We stand with you. We will not stand by and watch science being attacked!

Thank you for a great day! ❤🙏

It was our first activist meeting! Most of us had never seen each other before. We had presentations, discussions. The aim was to introduce the Initiative Mitmachen, the ENG-speaking working group, to get to know each other and to develop ideas.

Musk&Co want to turn our democracies into oligarchies!
We must use our power as consumers and fight against the oligarchy through targeted boycotts!
Therefore, boycott Tesla and all MAGA-affiliated corporations. 💪

1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

The EU must finally block X. Musk is using this platform to destabilise the EU and to help right-wing extremist politicians come to power.
We urgently need public social media in the EU.

Musk is directly threatening the Labour Party and UK ministers in a day-long tirade against the UK government.

They need our solidarity. Musk is backed by his multinational resources.

This ist bad. Elon wants to install oligarchy in Germany. And than Europe.

We have to stand together, now.

After the USA, #Musk is now trying to use his reach and wealth to install an oligarchy in Germany too.
I would say that if Musk is attacking Scholz like this, then Scholz is obviously doing some things right!
Best voting recommendation for Scholz 👇👇👇👇

Good morning 🙂 ☕

I have an important question, what would you say??

How is it possible that whole societies and their members are not aware of very simple but big injustices, even though they are very much against their values?

I think it's mainly a question of habituation.
December 21, 2024 at 6:12 AM
This is bad. Democracy must go global or it will disappear.

Following Trump's election in the USA, Musk is now also trying to push the AfD in Germany.
Oligarchs support authoritarian parties in order to abolish our democracy and build an oligarchic system.
