Hm. Mir ging es um die Form der Kommunikation. Hier diskutieren offensichtlich reflektierte Menschen, da fand ich deinen Ausdruck mit der „absoluten Unwissenheit“ einfach ziemlich drüber. Mein Kommentar enthält keinerlei Wertung über Mansour.

Oh Mann. Staatliche Fördergelder fließen manchmal auf seltsamen Wegen.

Oha, muss das sein? „Absolute Unwissenheit“ ist ein krasser Vorwurf. Und Leas Kommentar ist sachlich nicht derart falsch, dass so ein Anschnauzer berechtigt wäre. Deine Anmerkung, viele würden sich besser auskennen als Mansour, ist auch kein geeignetes Argument gegen Leas Kommentar.

The hardest part after finding out you’re autistic?

Realising how much of your life was shaped by fear.

Fear of rejection.

Fear of being too much.

Fear of losing love.

The work isn’t becoming fearless - it’s learning what deserves your energy now.

✅ Start reading book

✅ Open phone to check if something in book is accurate

✅ Go down rabbit hole of information on the topic

✅ Get distracted by breaking news alert

✅ Read into detail of that

✅ Wonder why I have a book open on my lap

✅ Start reading book again

✅ Repeat five minutes later

Vorschieben, Frauen & Mädchen schützen zu wollen, als würde sexualisierte Gewalt vor allem von Migranten ausgehen, ist so hanebüchen wie perfide. Es ist rassistisch und misogyn zugleich - und eine klassische Erzählung von Rechtsextremen, die im Übrigen nicht auf "Schutz", sondern Besitzanspruch fußt

White words on a black background read:

Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

Abir Al-Sahlani (schwedische Politikerin und Teil des EU Parlaments) erklärte kürzlich den Anwesenden, warum ihre Debatte "time to end mass migration now - protect our women and children" auf allen Ebenen Falsch ist.

Deimos, the smaller of Mars's moons, is slightly bigger than Cardiff, and has an average escape velocity of around 5.7m/s: a little over 20km/h.

This is low enough that an athlete could jump off into space if they got a running start - but they couldn't, because the gravity's too low for good grip.

Thank you for your consideration.

The Trump administration follows the German Nazi‘s playbook from the 1930ies: Dehumanize the opposition. Accuse them for all kinds of crime and violence. Invent and exaggerate crimes. Use this as a pretext for extreme ‚countermeasures‘. Finally proclaim a new order to ‚get things under control‘.

The issue before is now is very simple and clear.
There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

Ich habe vor kurzem ein insta-Video von einem schwarzen Anwalt in den USA gesehen.

Er hat erzählt, wie er über seine eigene Erniedrigung lachen muss, wenn rassistische Richter ihn z.b. für die angeklagte Person halten (weil er schwarz ist) und nicht für den Anwalt, und Witze darüber machen.

Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel 

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
‘Spose not.

11

I’ll get the hemlock

Yeah
