Schluss mit dem Angriff auf NGOs und Medien! Keine Zensur durch die CDU!
Nur einen Tag nach der Wahl hat die CDU/CSU-Fraktion eine Anfrage eingereicht, die gezielt NGOs und kritische Medien ins Visier nimmt.

The way and the speed with which the whole German politics is moving to the right is shocking. Suddenly everybody seems to have forgotten all about human rights, morals, and the dangers of the current rhetoric.

A great document by the Vatican on misinformation. I by no means have read all of it but to me at least it seems like an accessible overview of research and thoughts on this important topic.

I have been listening to Oscar a lot lately. He somehow touches me especially now and can lift me up. I particularly like his Porgy and Bess album.

German government agencies are leaving the other place as it is "increasingly difficult to have a normal discussion there".
I hope more institutions follow suite and move to Bluesky or another platform that's not owned by a billionaire.

It's incredible how we keep making the same mistakes again. Moving in the direction of the extreme right, no matter exactly how much, normalises their hateful demands. We keep talking about only their agenda. We need to stop and focus on how to build a better, open and inclusive society.
A year ago, there was a big scandal in Germany: Leaked documents showed that members of the AfD party (and others) were trying to make the idea of mass deportations more palatable by introducing the term “remigration.”
A year later, in spite of widespread protests, they seem to have succeeded. 1/2

Hey friends,
I made my first starter pack! You can’t go wrong following these 150 fun and smart science communicators. For some reason there’s no men in there? Weird.
Please don’t be mad if you’re not on there — I ran out of slots even though many are still missing 😬
