Listening to headphones on the massive drugdealing goldfinch

22 February 1920 | A Pole, Wiesław Starzyk, was born in Kraków. A paramedic. In #Auschwitz from 18 April 1942. No. 31308 He perished in the camp on 26 May 1942.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Ok. Heißt im Klartext: "Wenn Ihr unsere Partnerfaschisten von der AfD verbieten wollt, ist's aus mit der nuklearen Teilhabe. (Aber eigentlich ist's auch so schon aus.)" Mir wird das zu albern. Können wir das Endgame abkürzen?

In jedem Interview wird Robert Habeck mit den gleichen gefühlten Wahrheiten belästigt, die faktisch längst widerlegt wurden. - niemand reißt euch die Heizung raus - Energieversorger raten selber von Atomstrom ab - e.t.c Können wir nicht mal sachdienlich weiterdenken und die alten Hüte entsorgen?

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

Appearing today in The Week:

Yeah, I remember being hassled for about a decade over being right about that

We need to start recognizing Republican Nazism as an existential threat to our nation.

A rollercoaster of sexism and disappointment: 1. He thought it was *just* the tomb of a queen. When he discovered it was a king it was suddenly "the most significant discovery since Tutenkamun" 2. That's significant! So what was inside?! Nothing. It was empty. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Bemerkenswert viele derjenigen, die vor einigen Monaten und Jahren noch gespottet und gehetzt haben, wie die "Linken übertreiben", als sie Trump und Musk als Faschisten bezeichnet hatten, entschuldigen sich heute nicht, sondern fangen an, den Faschismus zu hypen. So geht Radikalisierung.

Thanks to Zoe Williams of @theguardian.com for a reminder of this @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social poem about fascism..... scary, eerily familiar...... michaelrosenblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/fasc...

But but RFK Jr. promised he woudn’t do crazy things! Pinky swear and all!

Deutsche, die im Ausland auf Deutsch überraschenderweise nicht verstanden werden und dann, im neuen Versuch, NOCH LAUTER DEUTSCH sprechen als wärs eine eigene Sprache - weiß man da schon mehr?

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

Was unausgesprochenerweise ins Rutschen geraten ist, ist der Grundsatz, dass für alle dieselben Regeln zu gelten haben. Jemand begeht eine Straftat? Das ist jetzt ok, wenn er Präsident ist. Ein Land nimmt einem anderen etwas weg? Das ist jetzt ok, wenn es ein Imperium ist. Das ist ein Kulturbruch.

I’m going to translate this for those who don’t speak Fascist. This means abortion bans or at the very least, restrictions. Up to and including contraception. It also means hostility towards Muslims, LGBT people & other marginalised groups. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And this is how you do it. Brazil shows how to treat an ex-president who does not accept defeat and planned a coup to stay in power. They know what a dictatorship is like, as opposed to the US. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

I just called out a student for using AI to write an extended abstract for my class. 3 of the 4 articles she cited are fake. They are by real people, in real journals, and the titles are similar to topics the authors study. But the papers do not exist! It is wild that ChatGPT invents articles.

Wie Rechte denken, dass wir Habeck faktenchecken: "Harhar, wir tun einfach so, als habe er immer Recht! Lass lieber Weidel was unterjubeln!" Wie wir wirklich Habeck faktenchecken: "Bitte, bitte, lass ihn was Falsches sagen, damit uns niemand Vorurteile vorwerfen kann ... Mist! Das war richtig!"

19 February 1919 | Polish Jew, Abraham Weichselbaum, was born. In #Auschwitz from 17 October 1941 No. 21842 He perished in the camp on 20 October 1941.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

They voted for the guy who said he would lower the price of eggs. Now we have no eggs.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

If your news program invites Dollar General Himmler on, I’m diving for the remote

Did you see how Ukraine was dressed? It was asking for it.

Denkt immer daran. Wählen ist ein Privileg. Nicht alle, die in diesem Land leben, dürfen über die Politik der nächsten Jahre entscheiden. Ihr wählt auch für all jene mit, die dieses Privileg nicht besitzen. Also wenn ihr nicht wisst, wen ihr wählen sollt, wählt für die, die es nicht können.

I look forward to JD Vance's statement denouncing this European attack on free speech.

This is thinking way too far ahead but I want to put the marker down that I do not think future Presidents are in any way bound by whatever the US negotiations with Russia in regard to Ukraine. This violates our prior commitments to Ukraine for nuclear disarmament and is entitled to no weight.
