When the history of American fascism is written, 2 actions will tell the story starkly: 1. The New York Times handling Trump’s call for “termination” of the Constitution with a minor story on Page 13. 2. Every Democratic senator voting to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.

Der Fast-Kanzler #Merz : Senkung Einkommenssteuer für mittlere / kleine Einkommen und Mindestlohn »nicht fix« #Koalitionsvertrag Der machthungrige Herr #Klingbeil kommt mit Pseudoargumenten dafür, die Weltlage und überhaupt. Die #SPD Basis sollte klar mitteilen, was sie davon hält.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Die AfD wird inzwischen in den Politiksendungen so behandelt, als wäre sie eine "normale" Partei mit relevanten Beiträgen zu Sachthemen - und ich glaube nicht, dass das so sein sollte.

Just don't travel to the US anymore. Everyone could be next.

The Israeli military struck and destroyed part of the Ahli Arab Hospital, a mainstay of Gaza’s decimated health care system, on Sunday. A child being treated for a head injury died because of the rushed evacuation, according to the Anglican Church in Jerusalem, which oversees the medical center.

Russia carried out a terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine using ballistic missiles. They murdered at least 31 civilians and injured 80+ others as people celebrated Palm Sunday. Russia attacked at midday to maximize the number of civilian casualties.

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

People are very eager to let Whitmer off the hook for getting caught in an Oval Office photo op, so let’s take a quick look at the reason she was there

„Die Europäer müssen verstehen: Das ist das Ende der Affäre. Amerika geht unter. Lasst euch nicht von uns mit in den Abgrund ziehen. Ihr müsst euch mobilisieren. Das Schicksal der Welt – ganz buchstäblich – hängt davon ab.“ Lesenswertes Interview mit der US-Historikerin Marci Shore. #Trump

“No, I said YOU get your ass onto an assembly line to be a real man,” explained the manicured conservative. “I will keep my comfortable desk job, thank you very much, and demonstrate my masculinity by being a dick to people on the internet.”

Israel hat die Bewohner von Chan Junis zum Verlassen ihrer Häuser aufgefordert. Es handele sich um die letzte Warnung vor einem bevorstehenden Angriff. Das Liveblog

The reason it’s good to write hashtags with capital letters for each word is to help people using screenreaders. Hashtags are useful to low vision users, but only if you help out with CamelCase hashtags. And of course ALT text. Thank you! #CamelCase

A fifth law firm capitulated today and agreed to become a Trump collaborator. Shameful.

So the felon in chief is demanding that Amazon stop selling books that reveal the truth about him. And watch Bezos bend the knee. Amazon will cave. They all will. Whiteness has exposed itself to be hollow and thin skinned. The tyrant will never stop demanding more and more of your soul.

Senator Elizabeth Warren asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether President Trump violated securities laws while reversing course on his global tariffs.

AfD-Abgeordnete sollen im mecklenburgischen Landtag den Linken-Politiker Dirk Bruhn nachgeäfft haben, während dieser eine Rede hielt. Aufgrund einer Parkinson Erkrankung zittert seine rechte Hand und dieses Zittern sollen mehrere AfD-Politiker imitiert haben. @skylight.social #SkyTok

In Duisburg müssen Schulen wegen rechtsextrem Drohungen schließen. In Wetzlar gibt es einen Femizid mit Nazihintergrund. Und alles bleibt ruhig.. taz.de/Rechte-Drohu...

Great news, everyone. A surveillance company started by Peter Thiel is part of the hackathon playing with our data at IRS. www.wired.com/story/palant...

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

Schon auffällig wie viele derjenigen, die sich jetzt empören, es wäre absolut undemokratisch wenn man aufgrund der Brandmauer nicht „mit allen redet“, irgendwie nie genauso dringend mit der Linken reden wollten. 🧐

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

"That innocent people are disappearing into El Salvador's prisons is no secret—making the embrace of [President Nayib] Bukele a disturbing signal of just how far a strongman can go without losing political ground," Gisela Salim-Peyer writes:

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Ein Mann schickt einer Frau Drohungen. Er ist nicht der Einzige. Sie bringt sich um. Der Mann wird vor Gericht frei gesprochen. Eine Frau teilt auf Facebook kommentarlos einen Link zu einem Zeitungsartikel, der sich mit dem Privatleben eines Politikers beschäftigt. Sie wird zu 4000€+ verurteilt.

Ex-Kanzler Sebastian Kurz und die "Medien-Henker" bedrohen den @falter.at und @klenkflorian.bsky.social - und damit die freie #Presse! #ReporterOhneGrenzen meldet dazu eine schwerwiegende Störung!

TYPO ALERT: Not 2.5 million. Schwab raked in $2.5 billion. Repeat: 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS. Trump’s tariff insider trading scheme delivered HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of DOLLARS to his already mega-wealthy buddies.

Wonder how much longer the tourism drop go on before Trump makes some sweaty plea like "We only detain and abuse SOME of the tourists who are nasty to me on computer"

The law firm partners and university presidents who cave to Trump are betraying their fellow Americans. They're deciding that their wealth is more important than our freedom.

In a firmly paywalled subscribers-only article, CNN reports Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, voted in Hawaii last year after signing a sworn declaration of Texas residency and claiming a homestead exemption in that state. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

The US Social Security Administration will now only be reachable on a private platform, coincidentally owned by Mr M*sk. Who again cashes in.

"Under the 4th Geneva Convention, occupying powers, as Israel is in Gaza, must ensure civilians have food & medicine & protect hospitals & health workers. The convention also prohibits forcible transfer of entire populations from occupied territories. 'These rules apply. They are universal'."

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.
