Das Bild einer Entfremdung: Die Stipendiaten der Deutschlandstiftung Integration verlassen bei der Rede des Bundeskanzlers den Saal.
Viele wollen es nicht verstehen oder wahr haben, aber die Äußerungen des Kanzlers haben enorme Kränkungen verursacht.

… but in this case it‘s also a brillant double entendre

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result

Sounds like the NYT. Plus, even if that were true, it only reminds me of the button I saw after Prop 8 passed in CA in 2008: "Can I vote on your marriage now?"

No Country for Wo Men

Move to Germany Without a College Degree A skilled apprenticeship might be your ticket to a new career and a new life

I'm a dual citizen who moved back to Germany after 20 years U.S. in 2020. Have regretted this on 0 days. "Still have to fight the Nazis but everything else is easier" is a GREAT description. Also, for youngsters who are not independently wealthy: www.diealtefrau.com/p/move-to-ge...

Here's an opportunity for women (and men) who are not independently wealthy: www.diealtefrau.com/p/move-to-ge... Probably more interesting for people on the younger side. Germany is far from perfect, politically and otherwise. But it's also at this moment far better than the states.

When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...

Because the NPR piece and a lot of other coverage didn't mention the catholic bishops' conference vote total on banning trans healthcare at the church's hospitals:

206 in favor, 8 abstained, 7 against

The catholic church hierarchy is overwhelmingly against life-saving trans healthcare.

And an islamophobe and transphobe! Schumer‘s ilk would love her. Newsom/Oates ‘28!

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

Jetzt ist der Beweis öffentlich: Die CDU hat einen Abwahlantrag gegen die Oberbürgermeisterin von Niesky eingebracht. Dazu hat sie die Unterschriften von AFD und einen bekannten Neonazi eingesammelt. Deutlicher kann eine Kooperation mit gesicherten Rechtsextremisten nicht sein. 1/3

Massive mural of a pigeon by artist Adele Renault in Stavelot, Belgium. The artwork covers the entire side of a multi-story house, with the bird’s orange eye and iridescent feathers rendered in hyperrealistic detail. The building’s shape and roofline cleverly enhance the pigeon’s form, creating a striking illusion against a clear blue sky.

…. which is why you threw trans people under the bus? Or why you aren’t calling for concrete consequences for Chuck Shumer & the H8ful 8? Not buying, Peter.

The mistake that the Senate Dems are making is that they think they are playing a game that will be repeated in the future-in which case, the optimal course of action is compromise. But the Trump regime is doing all it can to ensure this is the last cycle under the Constitutional order.

Schöne Worte. Er damit anfangen, die Revolte gegen Chuck Schumer und Prick Durbin zu führen. Danach zusehen, das die acht Demokraten aus sämtlichen Kommittees fliegen. „Ihr habt Recht wütend zu sein“ ist wie die thoughts & prayers der Reps bei den endlosen Massenschießereien. Use your power, dude.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I may hate Senate Democrats more today than Nick Fuentes hates women.

Can you weigh it? They need to weigh at least 500g, better 600 or 700, to make it through hibernation.

A stripy turquoise iceberg sits on a black sand beach in the surf and a massive wave crashes over it, giving white spray into the air. The wave is green below. The sky is steely blue with some white patches.

Boom!

A good deal of my time spent on the beach at Jökulsárlón is trying to capture waves hitting icebergs, without the iceberg moving (and being blurred). Occasionally it all comes together :)

#Iceland

A lake and lakeshore, with a pier jutting into the lake. On the pier is a woman in winter clothing. In the lake there are several swimmers sranding and waving, wearing brightly colored swimming caps and buoys. Behind the swimmers, three adult swans are diving for food as two light brown juveniles watch from the shore.

A swimmer doing the front crawl in a lake. You can see their arm reaching out of the water, their bright red bathing cap, and their red, pink and yellow camouflage-patterned buoy. The photographer is in the water and the shore, with a closed restaurant with empty chairs and folded umbrellas, is behind the swimmer. The sky is leaden, contrasting with the swimmer’s bright attire.

Vier Schwäne, direkt von oben herab, Schwimmen auf einer spiegelglatten, grünlichen Wasserfläche. Zwei der Vögel sind weiß und zwei sind noch braune Jungtiere. Auf dem Bild sind nur Schwäne und Wasser zu sehen, es ist unmöglich zu sagen wo die Szene aufgenommen wurde.

I've created a calculator that gives you the right answer 80% of the time and I believe it will change the world

Because I love outdoor swimming, women and inclusion (not in any order of preference). This just makes sense to me
