About time!

Genau!!

Sollten uns nicht darüber lustig machen, dass sie mit Antifa Organisation verbieten wollen, die es gar nicht gibt. Im Gegenteil, das wissen sie natürlich. Es geht genau darum, diffuses Feindbild und scheinbar gesetzlichen Rahmen zu schaffen, um alles zu verfolgen, was neuem Faschismus im Wege steht.

Bolsonaro has been found guilty of mounting an attempted coup. This is how it's done.

Why do you appreciate unions?

Justin Ling: Mark Carney was once ‘concerned’ about Trump. Now things have gotten worse than anyone could have guessed Canada can no longer afford to take half measures when it comes to dealing with the the U.S.

Here's @justinling.ca on how things in the U.S. have somehow gotten far worse, for more quickly, than even most pessimists imagined. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Glaubwürdigkeit verlangt Aufarbeitung SPD, Grüne und Union vollziehen eine vorsichtige Kehrtwende in der Israel-Politik. Glaubwürdig ist das nur, wenn sie jetzt Verantwortung für ihre Repression der Palästina-Solidarität übernehmen.

Shame on you, @aircanada.bsky.social.

My experience as well. As you note in your thread, the news value here is minimal and inconsistent.

The algorithms on this platform seem to be working against the occasional user (of course). I tried several tactics to be heard but usually there is little to no response. There is little exchange of ideas, often just singular statements. That was certainly different on twitter during its good days.

The extent and scale of these crimes are unfathomable.
