“The [AfD] party's continued exclusion from coalition politics highlights the resilience of Germany’s political establishment in maintaining a centrist firewall against extremism...” Perhaps Germany’s approach to teaching history is working as intended, helping to prevent a recurrence of events.

Fantastic discussion. How can we incorporate other cultures in our creative work in a respectful way? What dooms one story as cultural appropriation versus celebrates another as authentic representation? Key step: Listening to and involving actual members of the culture in question.

Wonder if the White House & Fox News are purposefully misrepresenting the data, or if they genuinely do not understand how to read it?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

My brand of AuDHD means sitting and staring at an email I’m writing for 30 minutes, unable to get the words right. My head hurting so bad that I can’t form thoughts. Like an anvil crushing my mind. I know what I want to say, but I can’t find the words. I had them a moment ago. Where are they?

Dan Harris has been popping up more recently in the media I consume and I have to say - good on him. He’s a much needed voice and advocate for mental health, particularly men’s. There are so many dealing with PTSD and self medicating in unhealthy ways. Dan provides a real life example of healing.

Texas (and 16 other states) are suing for Section 504 to be deemed “unconstitutional”. Without a 504 plan, my daughter would have never been given the necessary accommodations she’s needed to function in school with severe ADHD. This lawsuit is awful, unethical. www.scarymommy.com/parenting/se...

Following the gaming and animation industry on Linkedin, it's no surprise to see people affected by layoffs, especially in the last couple years. Today, however, I was surprised to see Meta's most recent round included firing people for being on medical leave.

New from me in @wired.com: Donald Trump's cabinet is full of conspiracy theorists who think COVID-19 is a bioweapon, and that the doctors and scientists who now report to them helped create it. Those scientists are worried about the coming military tribunals. www.wired.com/story/reveng...

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: https://propub.li/3WScD3g

15 min into watching Star Trek: Section 31 and I couldn’t continue. One of the worst movie intros… wow. Confusing “shock-value” moment, random video game explanation, then a character info-dump sequence. There were zero stakes. No immersion. And established no connection to any character.

Kids, parents, skaters, coaches, union members & more + 3 soldiers were killed in a mid-air collision. Last week, Trump recklessly dismantled a key aviation safety committee, froze hiring for air traffic controllers & the FAA chief quit due to Musk’s bullying. Trump's actions have dire consequences.

DEI programs and people with disabilities did not cause the midair collision in DC. Trump gutting the FAA did that. But the DEI program Trump is trying to blame was started in 2019 — by Trump.
