Hm, die Stadt könnte auch ihre sämtlichen Versicherungen kündigen, das würde auch ein paar Euro sparen, und wäre genauso klug.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

At the core of transphobia is the belief that men are inherently superior to women. It's the reason fascists and evangelical fundamentalists embrace it so wholeheartedly.

"Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular."

I caught myself thinking: hold out until the midterm elections. But what are the chances there will be midterm elections? The way things are going, they're not great. It will depend on what else we do besides holding out.

UPDATE: Die Polizei Berlin hat den Adenauer zur 4. (!) TÜV-Kontrolle in 30 Tagen geschleppt. Der verantwortliche Polizist möchte laut eigenem Bekunden „etwas“ finden. Die Untersuchung dauert seit 5 Stunden an – und es wird nichts gefunden! Wir haben das bestuntersuchte Fahrzeug in ganz Europa!

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Pride was born from the bravery of trans people.Trans women of color were at the heart of the Stonewall riots and have always been leaders in the struggle for equality and human rights.There is no Pride without trans people. Their lives will never be erased.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Rule of law, or royal favor? "it appears a pattern is emerging in which Democratic-led states are suing the administration while officials from Republican-led states, which are even harder hit by Trump’s cuts than their Democratic-led counterparts, are asking Trump directly for help or exceptions."

Was? "Christian Lindner hat im Bundestag bei der namentlichen Abstimmung FÜR die Abschaltung der AKWs gestimmt. Das Abstimmungsergebnis ist hier dokumentiert: www.bundestag.de/resource/blo...

Lindner behauptet, die Grünen hätten "nicht begriffen, dass man die AfD nicht mit Lichterketten klein macht". Als Millionen Menschen u.a. mit Lichterketten 2024 auf die Straße gingen, fiel die AfD von bis zu 23% auf 15% in Umfragen. Seit u.a. die FDP nur über Migration redet, steigt sie wieder. Tja.

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

Any university that voluntarily shutters a DEI program, office or personnel “Because of Trumps Executive Order” is making a PR decision. Not a legal one. Trumps EO does not change anti discrimination law. If anything, the EO is unlawful. Universities should treat it that way.
