Die Bereitschaft dazu Staatsgewalt zu benutzen um Widerstand gegen den Genozid zu unterdruecken ist erschreckend un muss fuer die Zukunft massiv eingeschraenkt werden. (3)

Menschen die dem widersprechen brutal zu unterdruecken unterstreicht nur die Erkennung das sie von der Vergangenheit allen Erklaerungen zuwider doch nicht genug gelernt haben.

Wenn ein Genozid furchtbar war, sind alle anderen Genozide genauso widerlich. Das ist nicht schwer zu verstehen. (2)

Die Haltung the deutschen Regierung aufgrund eines vergangenen Genozids an dem sie Schuld war einen aktiven Genozid in der Gegenwart unterstuetzen zu muessen ist absurd und unverzeihbar. (1)

I keep hearing that the platform of the DNC is poised to move to the left. That sounds like wishful thinking to me. IMO they are way to deeply dependent on corporate/ PAC money to ever move left. Anybody else hearing this? Is there anything to it?

How do we keep fighting for the truth about what happened during the Holocaust when we aren’t allowed to tell the truth now when comparable crimes and cruelties are occurring again? This isn’t just a moral failure, it is a collapse of our modern moral framework. How can we not see that?

Honest question. For decades we have fought against fascist and Neo-Nazis denying the Holocaust. The consensus had been that doing so was the bridge too far. How do we maintain that moral position when a genocide is happening right now and our governments and press work diligently to deny that fact?

What is going on with Marjorie Taylor Greene? | Arwa Mahdawi The far-right Republican and conspiracy theorist is suddenly speaking (a small amount of) sense. Weird!

Colorado - did you know that Michael Bennet has AIPAC as his #1 donor the last five years? And @hickenlooper.bsky.social has JStreet PAC as his #2 donor? OF COURSE THEY'D VOTE DOWN BERNIE SANDERS' MOTION TO STOP ARMS EXPORTS! Their votes and consciences are bought and paid for. Vote. Them. Out.

Tolkien will do that for you. The best part is, it only gets better and deeper.

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

White South Africans are not inherently bad people, but those that want to leave because they liked Apartheid-era policies better are not the sort we should want to welcome.

The good news from Kyiv: with or without a ceasefire, Ukraine has a newfound confidence | Nathalie Tocci Its European allies must commit to the long-haul – but they, as much as Zelenskyy, will reap the rewards, says Guardian Europe columnist Nathalie Tocci

Good article on Europe and Ukraine. My only question is what the @europarl.europa.eu intends to do about Hungary's hostile, pro-Russian role in its dealings with Ukraine and the wider restructuring of Europe?

We will need Nuremberg trials. The need is evident. Every. Single. Day.

Man muss in der Debatte um die AfD daran erinnern, dass das Grundgesetz nicht irgendeine liberale Verfassung ist. Es ist die Antithese zum NS-Staat. Die Bundesrepublik ist politisch keine ergebnisoffene Veranstaltung. Grundrechte, Demokratie- und Rechtsstaatsprinzip sind dauerhaft festgelegt.

Every time I see Steven Miller I’m realizing more why the Nuremberg trials were so important.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Pretty significant development here as Germany’s far-right party has finally officially been classified as an extreme threat to German democracy, paving the way for a potential ban from politics.

If you ever want to get into a rollover accident on the highway, going 75mph and rolling four times (I think)… definitely do it in a Tundra. 10/10

I’ve decided not to pay any more tickets or fines. Ever. If the Trump White House can defy an order by SCOTUS I don’t need to do jack.

Billionaires are not inspiring. Ever.

Just when the likes of Harvard grads like Jared Kushner, aka the Pale Prince, had convinced me that @harvard.edu was an overpriced garbage school. Well done.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Why are they digging in about this when even SCOTUS has contradicted them and this narrative? Simple - they are fighting for the right and power to condemn individuals by getting to label them without evidence or trial. That power is essential to an authoritarian state.

Split image showing White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt wearing a red dress next to a screenshot of the same dress for sale online labeled as made in China, with a caption claiming the Chinese embassy mocked her for boycotting Chinese goods while wearing Chinese-made clothing.

Well played.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Who cares? I mean, it's a nice gesture, but more of a stunt than a meaningful resistance.
