Merke: Jan van Akens „Die [Reichen] stopfen sich die Taschen voll“ ist laut ARD-Moderator „populistisch“. Dagegen habe ich noch nie gehört, dass das „Wir streichen das Bürgergeld und steigern so das Wirtschaftswachstum“ von Friedrich Merz ihm je als „populistisch“ entgegen gehalten wurde.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

can someone let the senile president’s eldest son know that his father’s chief vizier wants to impregnate his teen daughter

Obviously this is bad and very stupid, but the tenor of this kind of Trump communique is very funny to me. It's a real HOA energy, just someone being annoying and small who knows they're being that way, and who more or less sees that as both their highest personal calling and the purpose of the job.

I love all these normal interviews with the president and his weird friend.

we may not agree on much, but I agree with Trump here. make those planes with haste, boys. cut any corner necessary!

How much of a weirdo do you have to be to think this is a normal service to provide let alone proudly advertise..? The antisocial behavior lately is boggling my brain…

Guten Tag, ich weiß, dass die Realität bei Migrationsdebatten ja immer als unangenehm angesehen wird, weil sie die behutsam gepflegten Vorurteile stört, mit denen man sich wutschnaubend und selbstsicher mit einfachsten Antworten durch eine komplexe Welt bewegen kann, aber:

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

This is quite a thing to find 18 paragraphs down in a story. wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Not to flex but anyone who followed Elon's hyperloop arc saw this coming a mile away. He said he could save 90% over high speed rail by ... buying land cheaper. That was it, he never offered any further specifics and the media utterly failed to convey how much of a charlatan he was.

i need a 52 year old man with $800 billion to impregnate my wife . i am worried our offspring wont be sufficiently feeble and/or annoying

Louisiana’s top health official said in an internal memo to the state’s Health Department that it would no longer use media campaigns or health fairs to promote vaccination against preventable illnesses.

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

I call this “The Atlantic”

Unforgivable, in my view www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

We are seeing more from the Pope than the Dems on this because the Dems have decided not being pieces of shit on immigration doesn’t poll well

we are depriving generations of kids of the formative experience of stumbling upon some weird horny sci-fi or fantasy book that was absolutely not written for them, which is the kind of thing that makes reading feel exhilarating, like you are unlocking the grownup world’s fun secrets

Was man so morgens im NY Times Newsletter liest und nee, das ist nicht alles, es ist bloß das irrste von heute Morgen, in dem die Werteverschiebung besonders sichtbar wird.

No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

The German center-right is just blatantly calling for the same things as the far right. Today's example: calling for 12-year-olds to be held fully criminally liable

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

sorry i've been so testy lately. it's just because of every single thing in the entire world

None of us are free until all of us are free. If trans people aren’t safe, neither am I. I know who these people are because they are who they have always been.

Musk is the living embodiment of AI: a broken, tech-bro tool that inserts itself into everyone's life unsolicited and makes everything worse.

So is anything not terrible happening

In this era, I don't think there's any joke, meme, or satirical point that is worth digitally altering something to make fake tweets, fake press statements, any of it. Even if you think it's easily identifiable. Eroding people's confidence in what they see is genuinely not worth it.

why are there not immediate sweeping motions to stop any of this from happening. democrat strategists are letting institutions crumble because theyre biding their time for a real big swing. brother if you wait too long theyll abolish the bat you’d swing with

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

False Balance in der Berichterstattung und den Diskursen, die von der Politik bestimmt werden, sind eine der Ursachen für den Rechtsruck in Deutschland. Hier sehr gut mit Zahlen hinterlegt:

"Der Nationalsozialismus hat sich vorsichtig, in kleinen Dosen, durchgesetzt - man hat immer ein bisschen gewartet, bis das Gewissen der Welt die nächste Dosis vertrug." -Stefan Zweig- 

I want that Boer obliterated

Heute Abend kein Miosga schauen, kein miosga kommentieren, kein miosga zum Gesprächsthema mache. Es ist eh bekannt, was da gesagt wird. ✌️

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Shameful and murderous www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Am Abend nach der gescheiterten Mehrheit mit CDU, FDP, BSW und AfD äffte Friedrich Merz bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung Rolf Mützenich nach, der im Bundestag davor gewarnt hatte, das ,Tor zur Hölle’ zu öffnen. Wir brauchen in dieser Weltlage wirklich kein fragiles Nervenbündel als Kanzler.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.
