It is just devastating that Native Forrest logging and Land clearing is still going on in Australia. The only OECD nation where there is still deforestation, sadly soon to be joined by the US. Logging finally needs to be limited, no more land should be cleared and protected areas expanded. #Auspol

Keine Frage: Jens Spahn müsste von allen politischen Ämtern zurücktreten. Müsste. Wenn die CDU für politischen Anstand stünde. Und es in der Partei einen moralischen Kompass für krasses politisches Fehlverhalten gäbe. Offensichtlich nicht der Fall.

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

Americans and Iranians have a lot in common, such as that in both countries supreme power actually rests with a small group of unaccountable theocrats appointed for life.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law. Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

“Trump spent years campaigning against risky and expensive wars, and criticizing hawkish foreign policy decisions” is just straightforwardly false. It’s completely made up!

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Andrew Cuomo sexually abused more than a dozen women. If that alone is not enough to disqualify him from ever again holding elected office—if the conversation even continues past that—the speaker (outlet) is saying it's OK to sexually abuse women.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

I find the comparisons to what Trump is doing to North Korea annoying one because it’s kinda racist and two because they’re just better at pageantry than us.

Was wir alle erleben, ist keine Sozialstaatskrise. Es ist eine Gerechtigkeitskrise. Und es ist eine Krise des politischen Mutes, sich mit den Privilegierten, Reichen und Mächtigen anzulegen: Armut ist kein Naturgesetz. Sie ist gemacht und gewollt. Dankesrede in der FR www.fr.de/wirtschaft/h...

Es waren mehrere Menschen, die mit sehr nah stehen, auf dem CSD in #Wernigerode, darunter auch meine Mutter. Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen, wie wütend es mich macht, dass ein 20-Jähriger konkrete Anschlagsdrohungen ausspricht, dann findet die Polizei Munition - und er ist trotzdem auf freiem Fuß.

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This is not just revisionist history, it's ignorant of reality. Activists didn't leave Twitter because they "thought they would be more effective" somewhere else, they left because Elon made it clear that he would *deliberately undermine their influence." Why make shit up?

Decarbonized oil is not a thing. It is a buzzword term built around the idea of carbon credits. Which is all just a shell game to avoid actually doing anything good for the environment. Canada is still woefully behind our climate goals, and will get further behind with this stupidity.

Seems straightforward to me that more studios should open remote work. Aside from clear reasons on disability and ease of communication, getting to avoid men with behavior issues like this and sexual harassment also seem like another bonus idk. It’s 2025 and we’re still dealing with this shit.
