Diesen Zusammenhang gilt es den Entscheider:innen vor Augen zu halten: wer anfängt, EU-Recht derart dreist & eindeutig zu brechen, der stellt die gesamte, letztlich auf Vertrauen & Vertragsrecht aufgebaute Europäische Union grundlegend in Frage—der sägt am europäischen Ast, auf dem wir alle sitzen.

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Die Gesellschaft der selbstzufriedenen Selbstgerechten

Die "furchtbaren Juristen" haben ihre Karrieren in der Bundesrepublik nach 45 nahtlos fortgesetzt. Ein Bsp. ist der Kommentator des Grundgesetzes Theodor Maunz, der parallel für die 'Deutsche National-Zeitung' schrieb. "Unter der Woche Demokrat, in der Freizeit Faschist". www.lto.de/recht/hinter...

Just listen to the quislings laugh at our mad leader’s rambling bullshit. Sound on.

Das 80-jährige Jubiläum des Siegs über Nazideutschland ist ein passender Moment, daran zu erinnern, dass das Asylrecht im Grundgesetz und in der Allgemeinen Erklärung der Menschenrechte auch eine Lehre daraus ist, dass zu wenige Staaten bereit waren, verfolgte Jüdinnen und Juden aufzunehmen.

Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy. He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Das C der CDU ist mir völlig egal, aber der SPD sollte man nun endlich gerichtlich das Tragen des S verbieten! "Die SPD befürworte geschlossen strengere Kontrollen an den deutschen Außengrenzen, sagt Dirk Wiese." www.zeit.de/politik/deut...

I asked a black friend how he found the strength to protest in those German towns that are Nazi strongholds, how he did so unafraid. Oh but I’m always afraid, he said. Yet as long as there are black people living in these towns, I have to march there. When I think of Andor, I think of him.

Things have gotten completely out of hand at Columbia University. It is not a safe place for students. x.com/itslaylas/st...

Fehlt: eine gemeinsame Erklärung von Miosga, Illner, @louisklamroth.bsky.social, Lanz, Maischberger, dass Vertreter aus gesichert rechtsextremen Parteien nicht mehr in ihre Talksendungen eingeladen werden

Hilarious statement from the inventor of presidential immunity

Seit vorgestern ist Olaf Scholz nicht mehr der schlechteste Bundeskanzler aller Zeiten.

Not if most of them are brown. 🤷🏼‍♂️

"Israel killed nearly two-thirds of the 124 journalists who died around the world in 2024" - you would imagine this would cause a commotion in the world of news journalism, wouldn't you.

A reminder of why many prefer nonidiots in key national security jobs. www.reuters.com/world/india/...

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

Please stop talking or writing about moderate Trump, MAGA or GOP supporters. There are no moderate fascists. There is no "third way" to autocracy. There are no mainstream dictators. If you support Trump, vote for his policies, you are an extremist, out of touch with the vast majority of Americans.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court halts a district court injunction that had blocked Trump's ban on transgender military service. SCOTUS is clearing the way for Trump to enforce his purge of transgender troops. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Faschisten verherrlichen den Kampf...solange sich ihre Gegner nicht wehren. Danach sind nur noch Heulsusen. (Opfer waren sie ja schon vorher)

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

It's saying: #LittleEichmanns

Trump’s further efforts to treat police as a baronial class above accountability. Jury convicted an LA sheriff deputy of a felony for pepper spraying a woman. Trump’s new US Atty pleads it down to a misdemeanor. AFTER the jury felony conviction. This is “unleashing”: unaccountable violence.

This bizarre rejection of health science is not incidental: MAGA represents a raging revolt against the very foundations of modern society which are roundly rejected as illegitimate impositions and a personal affront to the prerogative of the MAGA patriarch to decide what is true and what is real.

BREAKING Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading? IT'S HAPPENING. James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

Still stupid after all these years. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Does the slobbering from these cucks ever stop? bsky.app/profile/atru...

President Trump 2.0 has openly committed more impeachable abuses of power than all prior presidents combined, including Trump 1.0. The question isn’t whether he should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office but whether Republicans have the guts to do their job. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Media men want to call Bluesky an "Echo Chamber" but what they refuse to call it is "A place where women feel safer due to a relative lack of Nazis and rape threats" hope that helps all y'all semi literate skid marks cope!

There are also willing #LittleEichmanns. Lots of them.

Mit dieser faschismusdevoten Justiz können wir einpacken.

Friedrich Merz (ehem. Vizepräsident), Karsten Wildberger (Vizepräsident), Katherina Reiche (Vorsitzende Landesfachkommission) und Patrick Schnieder (Mitglied Bundesfachkommission) - die Lobbyist*innen des "Wirtschaftsrates der CDU" haben die Bundesregierung übernommen. 1/2

Klingbeil tut, als würden Menschen die Bürgergeld beziehen nicht arbeiten. Dabei arbeiten sie (oft unentlohnt), haben gearbeitet oder werden wieder arbeiten. Das Problem: der Lohn ihrer Arbeit reicht nicht zum Leben. Und der Umgang der Behörden disqualifiziert sie auf Dauer. @spdde.bsky.social

D’ya know? I’m sure if I were to check out whether Germany just “hands out citizenship” to someone who “entered illegally” three years ago, I would find that is not the case.

#Journalismus Exakt dasselbe in Deutschland.

Voll naheliegend einen rechten Hardliner zum Medienminister zu machen, wenn man das Wohlwollen rechter Medien will.

Heute im @correctiv.org -Newsletter: Warum Jens Spahn, möglicher CDU-Fraktionschef, seit Jahren von der BILD gepriesen wird: Er hat dort lauter Buddies. Zwei seiner Sprecher kamen von BILD, mit Ex-Chef Reichelt und dem heutigen Vize-Chef Ronzheimer ist er dicke. 🧵

Media Markt Saturn wird Digitalminister und e.ON wird Wirtschaftsminister. Hat auch jemand an Nestlé gedacht?

You can't have an "adult" conversation about the federal budget if you ask us to think of the US like a household. That's how you have a childish conversation. Chapter 1 of The Deficit Myth

Untergegangen ist bislang, wer parlamentarischer Staatssekretär im Bundesinnenministerium wird: Christoph de Vries ist ein zur AfD offener Hardliner, der in der Vergangenheit immer wieder mit rassistischen und muslimfeindlichen Äußerungen auffiel. Lesenswerte Recherche: correctiv.org/aktuelles/ka...

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

“In the Minnesota legislature this month, a bill was introduced that declares mRNA vaccines weapons of mass destruction and criminalizes their manufacture and distribution.” Terrifying.
