Over on X, Chris Rufo is out with a series of leaked internal chats between trans intelligence analysts at NSA, where they talked about things like coming out, bottom surgery, and their sex lives. So yeah, employees should be afraid of things like that even if they’re not fired.

#Germany's federal criminal police office, not exactly known for over-counting such things, reports that at least 41,000 crimes with a right-wing extremist motive were committed in 2024, a 1/3 increase compared to 2023. 2023, with a 23% increase on 2022, had already marked an all-time high #farright

Liebe Sender und TV-Produzenten: Wenn die AfD morgen vielleicht ihr Wahlergebnis von 2021 verdoppelt hat, dann ist das auch eine Folge der jahrelangen Normalisierung durch eure TV-Talkshows, die Rechtsradikalismus unter dem Banner der "Ausgewogenheit" salonfähig gemacht haben.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

This feels like more of a breakdown in rule of law than anything else under Trump, and that says a lot. The fact that asylum seekers are being shipped off to Panama, contrary to federal law, without any review by the courts, should make everyone VERY nervous. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

It's getting tiring to keep saying this, but for posterity's sake I will: any previous administration would have been instantly sunk by this. Before January 20, 2017, this would have been the most stunning corruption scandal in the history of the American justice system. Now, it's...a Thursday.

danielle sassoon's letter is a historic must-read document of trump's corruption. i also read it as an indication of what is happening across the federal government right now - the undue pressure put on lawyers, the illegal treatment of agencies, the unlawfulness of musk's role.

Integration in Germany is an unwinnable game. Citizenship won’t get you accepted. Tread lightly, mind your business and you can have a delightful life here. But there are too many people here who would uproot you in a heartbeat given the chance. That’s the huge gamble you make when you move here.
