German Greens are inviting the other parties to discuss the disbandment process for the extreme right-wing party AfD. Hopefully SPD and the CDU will join.
Liebe Union, SPD und Linke: Wir demokratischen Fraktionen müssen uns gemeinsam stark machen – für die Demokratie und gegen Verfassungsfeindlichkeit. Es ist an der Zeit zu handeln! Deswegen laden wir euch ein, gemeinsam ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD vorzubereiten.

NEW: ICE burst out of a Penske truck at Home Depot in McArthur Park, LA.

This footage is from Fox News who have “embedded” themselves in Trump’s masked gestapo unit.

This footage stops before you see what happens - which is ICE snatching the first brown people they can find.

Article (in Dutch) describing how in the Netherlands anno 2025, children with ME/CFS are still treated with cognitive behavioural therapy. Children are taught to ignore warning signals from the body for overexertion! Read and shudder.

The More You Get Infected, the More Likely You’ll Get Long COVID

People still think long COVID is rare. Like it only happens to anxious people. Or people who “did it wrong.” Like there’s some moral math to this. If you got sick, it’s because you panicked too much. (1/18)

Last fall Niall Ferguson chastised me on Xitter for suggesting Trump could turn fascist, asserting, "fascism was all about state control of the economy and militarisation in preparation for war, pretty much the opposite of Trump's philosophy."

Just thinking about that for no reason whatsoever.

"We do not base our choice on the goodness of democracy, which may be doubtful, but solely on the evilness of a dictatorship, which is certain."
I am literally sitting here, reading Karl Popper’s (an immigrant in 🇬🇧, btw) warning that the whole point of democracy was to prevent a tyrant from causing grave harm, while Donald Trump is playing roulette with the world economy and Putin is trying to re-invent the Russian empire.
