Korruption ist das Wort was wir suchen. Legale Korruption durch Spenden. Auch bei uns üblich.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.

It's getting ridiculous! The radical left has elected someone who looks TERRIBLE, unlike our supreme leader!

Das ist die traurigste, emotional manipulierendste und ärgste Art und Weise wie je jemand verkündet hat, dass seine Show eingestellt wird. Omg.

Mamdani "flipped Oakland Gardens, a swing district in Queens that went from supporting Biden... to Republican Lee Zeldin in the 2022 New York gubernatorial race to Trump last year...[he] didn’t just activate the left; he broke into communities that conventional wisdom says don’t vote socialist."

having cuomo beat mamdani was much more important than just 1 election, for the democrat old guard. they wanted to point to his loss as a reason to never run on more progressive policies (never mentioning the millions of dollars they spent trying to beat him, of course) i hope they're scared today

Ein Ex-Gesundheitsminister der CDU, dem schweres politisches Fehlverhalten nachgewiesen wurde + eine aktuelle CDU-Gesundheitsministerin, die sich schützend vor ihn stellt + eine CDU-Bundestagspräsidentin, die kritische Nachfragen aus dem Parlament blockiert. Die Causa Spahn ist längst eine Causa CDU

[Sees large Jewish turnout for a democratic socialist who advocates solidarity, denounces ethnic hatred, and resonates with NYC's vast Jewish socialist history] "This proves why Jews cannot survive outside a genocidal ethnostate."

refreshing to find out that some bombs are too unseemly to drop

Transparenz, die Symbolbild: Seite 47 des Berichts zu Spahns Maskenaffäre (ein Beispiel von vielen)

Ein Tag, zwei Meldungen

“I have watched as Israelis have gone from being (in a best-case scenario) indifferent to the genocide they are perpetrating to rejoicing in it.” Diana Buttu writes about the alarming percentage of Israelis who would like to see Palestinians like herself living in Israel, ethnically cleansed.

Truly horrified by this order in way that is deeper and darker than I have felt over many truly awful merits decisions.

"54 Prozent verzichten nach eigenen Angaben selbst auf Essen, um ihre Kinder besser ernähren zu können." Ein paar Fakten zur "Die Armen sollten noch weniger haben"-Debatte! www.freitag.de/autoren/hele...

"Die erschreckende Tatsache, dass Herkunft Leistung schlägt, zieht sich durch alle Zeiten und gilt heute noch genauso wie im Kaiserreich." www.fr.de/wirtschaft/h...

It's being reported in local Norwegian news that this guy got his USA vacation ruined after border agents at the airport interrogated him and searched through his phone and sent him back home after finding that picture. Deeply unserious country

“If killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site is not terrorism, how can we possibly be expected to accept that spray-painting a plane is? In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now?” - Sally Rooney👏

Lavos, the alien monster intent on destroying all life, has emerged from beneath the planet's surface to endorse Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. "Cuomo has the experience and character necessary to lead," said Lavos, while fire rained from the sky

Manche glauben, dass wir für unsere Energie "vom Ausland abhängig" geworden sind, weil wir einmal für 2,3 Millionen € mehr Strom aus dem Ausland importiert haben als exportiert, stören sich aber nicht daran, dass wir 2024 für 69 MILLIARDEN € Öl, Kohle und Gas importieren.

All of this👇!

„War is peace.“ (George Orwell: 1984)

Der Jugend von heute überlässt man einen erhitzenden Planeten, massive Wohnungskosten, kriegen Bildung nur in maroden Schulen von unterbezahlten Lehrern, in der Pandemie sollen sie gefälligst Rücksicht nehmen & die Rente von allen bezahlen. Aber bitte Wehrpflicht, damit sie auch mal was zurückgeben.

Israel: attacking Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, the West Bank and doing a live-streamed genocide in Gaza. Iran: hasn’t invaded a country in 250 years. German media:

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

Any semblance of Western credibility or overweight is gone. Not just Trump and Biden - not just the US. Trudeau and Carney in Canada, Sunak and Starmer in the UK, Macron in France, Merz in Germany - they all steered to this outcome through malice, stupidity, or a lack of spine. It's gone.

Usually people like Clinton claim they HAVE to endorse the centrist candidate for electability reasons. But Mamdani could win the general election in blue NYC. Electability/polling/political strategy arguments are often just pretexts, masking ideological preferences.

whatever else they do, the prime directive of the democrats is to prevent the election of anyone who threatens the interests of the ultra-rich. that comes before everything else

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

It's so bleak to watch another genocide just happen with the full support of western powers yet again. International law is meaningless. No one cares about it and it's just another power structure to support national interests against whatever human rights gets in the way

If he wins, people are not prepared for just how unpopular Andrew Cuomo will be and how quickly it will happen. There's going to be a lot of buyer's remorse, not among the billionaire class, but among regular people who weren't paying attention. Kinda like what happened with Trump!

What message does it send, especially to women, that the democrats will pull out all the stops to rally around a disgraced fucking rapist rather than let a socialist win a single mayoral election? I’m so tired of this shit dude

Diversity of tactics. KEEP GOING LA 🫡🫡🫡 Make sure to follow @no.sleep.for.ice on Instagram!

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.
