Why I left The Washington Post “Democracy Dies in Darkness” — but what if the lights are going out from within?

"But now, working at The Post feels like being on the Titanic after it struck an iceberg — drifting aimlessly as it sank, with not enough lifeboats for everyone. (...) And the captain is shouting commands that the solution is a different ship." substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Martha Goldberg ( 4. August 1873 - 10. November 1938) war die Frau eines jüdischen Arztes und durch ihr soziales Engagement hoch angesehen. Mehr als vier Jahrzehnte unterstützte sie auf vielfältige Weise bedürftige Mitbürger. Durch die Rassengesetze verlor ihr Mann die Approbation



Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Gestern war der 30. Gedenktag an den Genozid an den Bosniak:innen & der erste internationale Gedenktag.
Zu dem Anlass waren ich & ein weiterer Genozidüberlebender, sowie einige bosnische Diplomat:innen im deutschen Bundestag eingeladen.
Was folgte war extrem traumatisierend.

Das innere London hat fast nur noch Straßen mit Tempolimit 20 Meilen/Stunde, nur im äußeren dominiert noch Tempo 50

Im inneren London gibt es kaum noch Straßen mit 30-Meilen-Tempolimit mehr (48 km/h, auf der Karte blau), sondern fast nur noch grüne mit 20 Meilen (ca. 32 km/h).
Die lokalen Folgen laut "Transport for London":
35 % weniger Unfälle
36 % weniger Opfer
34 % weniger tote oder schwer verletzte Kinder

Devastating for future medical and law students—$50k loan cap per year. This won’t even cover tuition for medical school or law schools. So only the rich will be able to afford to become doctors or lawyers, got it.

A screenshot of two tweets. One says": "How much of this is dressing appropriately vs just staying stuck in the old ways? How/ went does fashion evolve?" The other tweet says: "Who decides 'wrong' here? All of this is made up anyhow. Just because somewhere along the line, someone said it should be a certain way, doesn't mean it always has to be that way."

Since my tweet about Jeff Bezos, I've been getting a lot of replies such as these. "Where do these dress rules come from?" "When do they change?"

These are very good questions, so let me answer them. 🧵

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Junger Kicker erfuhr als vermeintlicher Attentäter von Graz Welle von Hass Der Leibnitzer erzählt in einem Video seines Fußballvereins verzweifelt, wie gegen ihn und seine Familie gehetzt wurde

Stell dir vor, jemand der einen ähnlichen Vornamen wie du hat, ermordet 10 Menschen. Du kennst den Mann nicht, lebst in einer anderen Stadt und plötzlich hetzen zigtausende Menschen voller Hass gegen dich und deine Familie. Artur ist das passiert. Bitte teilt seine Geschichte, wie er sie erzählt.

That was about insurrection. This is about rights protection.

Eine Freundin hat mich erinnert: Jacinda Ardern hat es geschafft, dass wir vom Attentäter von Christchurch keinen Namen kennen. Weltweit wurde sie gelobt dafür. Vom Grazer Attentäter kennen wir Name, den Familienstand der Mutter, das Gesicht und die Farbe seiner Katze. Ein voller Erfolg, nüm? #graz

ZIB Zack Mini vom 10.06.2025 Am Dienstag war ein Amoklauf an einer Schule in Graz. Auch die "ZIB Zack Mini" berichtet darüber und geht den Fragen nach: Was ist ein Amoklauf und wie kann man solche Nachrichten verarbeiten?

Für Lehrer*innen, Eltern und andere Bezugspersonen von Kindern: Die ZIB Zack Mini hat ein Video zum Amoklauf gemacht, das vielleicht morgen als Gesprächseinstieg besser helfen kann als die Nachrichten für Erwachsene: on.orf.at/video/142780...

Schreiben von Eisenhower am D-Day SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-Our brave Ale es and brotsch with on the Monty, with you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944 ! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory ! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory ! Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Opinion | How Will We Know When We Have Lost Our Democracy?

Dringende Lese-Empfehlung!

„When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.
By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism.“

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Linzer Spital schickte vergewaltigte Frau ohne Untersuchung weg Streetworkerinnen brachten die obdachlose Frau in die gynäkologische Ambulanz. Das Keplerklinikum hatte an dem Tag keine Aufnahme und bedauert den Vorfall

Im Keplerklinikum Linz ist eine Frau, die vergewaltigt wurde, weggeschickt worden. Sozialarbeiterinnen überzeugten die obdachlose Frau zuvor, ins Krankenhaus zu gehen. Nach der Abweisung wollte die Frau den Übergriff weder zur Anzeige bringen noch sich in einem anderen Spital untersuchen lassen.
