Das betrifft im übrigen ziemlich häufig Frauen mit Kindern, die sich von dem Partner trennten. Häufig hängt das auch mit Gewalt zusammen. Wer ernsthaft behauptet, Gewalt gegen Frauen eindämmen zu wollen, macht nicht so eine Politik.

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

"Contrarian" is killing me, the whole premise of the Free Press is telling rich elderly and middle-aged men that they're right about everything

Five points to anyone who can remember what the very first use-case was for thefacebook, ten points if you are already dead inside with exhaustion.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

This ransom memo should be as big a deal as the Kimmel suspension. It probably won't be but the stakes are higher for higher ed.

Spahn hat lang genug auf unsere Kosten high life gemacht. Sagenhafte 6,6 Milliarden € Verschwendung werden ihm vorgeworfen. Ausgerechnet er wagt es mal wieder, mit dem fadenscheinigen Vorwand der “Gerechtigkeit” noch härtere Sanktionen gegen Menschen zu fordern, die eine Arbeit zum 2. Mal ablehnen.⬇️

Best case in point is germany, where the constitution was reviewed by Americans and all the institutions were rebuilt with more knowledge about what works well in America.
Germany’s constitution and especially the judiciary look pretty different from no jury in trials, to supreme court terms, etc.

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Ja, Erdoğan weiß tatsächlich dies oder das darüber, wie man seine Wiederwahl absichert.

Und wer jetzt noch daran glaubt, dass die nächsten Wahlen in den USA fair und frei verlaufen werden, ist einfach grenzenlos naiv.

Well I am sure nothing bad will happen if sketchy companies record people looking at porn. Surely no one will be blackmailed. How great that Australia is following in the UKs footsteps with absolutely no need to do so.

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse

I mean there are options that don’t do that. You can use Vivaldi as a browser (all the chrome extensions work) and duckduckgo lets you turn off the AI results and there are plenty other non Google or Microsoft options too.

Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

This is the slippery slope Australia is quickly careening down.

Internet restrictions & censorship.
FOI requests inaccessibility.
‘Drops’ censoring parliamentary journalists.
Restrictive protest laws.

We have a real time example of where this can end up if we don’t object now…

Den Haag: Rechter Politiker Wilders kommt mit Verbotsantrag gegen Antifa durch Nach Donald Trump fordert auch der niederländische Politiker Geert Wilders ein Antifa-Verbot. Ein Antrag wurde im Parlament angenommen.

"In den Niederlanden ist ein Antrag des rechten Politikers Wilders angenommen worden,der das Verbot der Bewegung Antifa fordert. In dem Antrag wird auf eine ähnliche Entscheidung von US-Präsident Trump Bezug genommen"

Falls irgendjemand über Trump lacht und glaubt,in der EU wäre sowas nicht denkbar

I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments

All the liberals who ever bought into the rights concern over free speech should feel ashamed and apologise to those they ridiculed.
This is what actual suppression of thought and cancel culture looks like.
Just the highest profile example of the right’s campaign.

Kommentar: Arbeite im Frauenhaus und es ist ein echtes Problem, dass die Frauen und ihre Kinder nachher keinen geeigneten Wohnraum in unserem Ort finden. Es ist nahezu unmöglich eine Wohnung zufrieden, die der KDU des Jobcenters entspricht. So kommt es zum Aufnahmestau: gewaltbetroffene erhalten keinen Platz im Frauenhaus, weil die Bewohnerinnen keinen Wohnraum finden. Es ist einfach nur unfair für alle und es wird einfach nicht besser.
