Quite a contrast here. Rather remarkably, Die Linke, which was polling at 3% at the start of the campaign, won the election among young people with the extreme right party, AfD in second place. Among over 70s AfD polling at half their numbers in electorate as a whole. From DW.

Yesterday was the 82nd anniversary of the death of Sophie Scholl. She and others were executed for internal resistance to the Third Reich. They are an example to us. Learn from their example, especially in these times. #WhiteRose #WeißeRose www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles...

The practice of law is the least diverse profession in the United States. A supermajority of lawyers are cishet white men. We need (a lot) more diversity, not less. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Just absolutely wild supporters of a party that chose enabling genocide over winning an election are attacking others over their "purity".

So indescribably angry and sad reading this story by @shamimmalekmian.bsky.social, a truly excellent journalist. Rest in peace, Nilay - and may those ghouls who created and uphold Fortress Europe never enjoy a moment of peace themselves, on either side of the grave.

Feel like we need to be clearer that committing genocide is what killed democracy, not an election.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

The Bohs and Rovers game in the Aviva showing what #LOI fans have been saying for years. If there was investment in the game and we could let players perform on good pitches and fans enjoy good facilities, there is massive potential to grow because the standard is decent and games competitive.

if you are confused about how trans men experience misogyny, but trans women do not experience misandry, the reason is that misogyny is a real force that targets anyone who is not both cis and male, while misandry is not real because men are not oppressed for being men.

I live in inner city Dublin and the way certain politicians - notably ones who aren't from Dublin - talk about it would make you sick. Doing their little routine over tragic events, with no actual thought for victims, to whip up fear and hatred and demonise thousands. Pathetic.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...
