You could have covered & not stopped covering "we will invade our NATO allies" as a presidency-ending scandal. You could have covered & not stopped covering the open monetization of the presidency as an outrageous presidency-ending scandal. See also: all the rest. You decide this all the time:

"Trump has moved the ethical line" drives me crazy. It pretends there are no other actors with agency in 🇺🇸 politics or the media. You could have treated this as a nonstop five-alarm scandal & crisis for democracy. You didn't do that. You did for EMAIL & BIDEN OLD. Other choices were right there.

An Outrage in 2019. No Problem in 2026. Trump Has Moved the Ethical Line.
The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms.

Krass: Am Tag nachdem CDU-Politiker:innen das erste Mal seit 1945 wieder einen Rechtsextremen zum Präsident eines Parlaments gewählt haben, weist der Kanzler nicht seine eigenen Leute scharf in die Schranken. Sondern verlangt von SPD und Grünen, mit einer demokratischen Partei nicht zu koalieren.

Historic warmth is currently impacting our global oceans. September shattered the previous peak for the warmest average global sea surface temperature on record for the month. And this excessive heat is found across nearly all regions. Data from NOAA ERSSTv6. I finally adjusted the y-axis here. 🌊
Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1900 through 2026. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Der Spiegel berichtet im Januar 2016 (das ist über zehn Jahre her) über Frauke Petrys und Beatrix von Storchs Äußerungen, die Bundespolizei müsse auf geflüchtete Frauen und Kinder schießen dürfen. Was gab es danach noch Erkenntnis zu gewinnen?
DER SPIEGEL
Zwei führende AfD-Frauen hatten am Wochenende nahegelegt, einen Einsatz von Schusswaffen gegen Flüchtlinge an den Grenzen zu billigen. Parteichefin Frauke Petry bezeichnete einen Waffeneinsatz an den Grenzen als Ultima Ratio. Ihre Stellvertreterin Beatrix von Storch befürwortete auf ihrer Facebookseite ausdrücklich, dass Bundespolizisten sogar auf geflüchtete Frauen und Kinder schießen dürfen müssten.

Years of working in left archives and engaging in left politics has made me wary when I hear or read "Zionist" - not because it is inherently offensive or abusive or antisemitic - but because it provides cover for a huge range of different arguments and attitudes. Political parties should know this!

Solange die CDU nicht ihre eigene Vergangenheit aufarbeitet, ist das "Kooperationsverbot" eine Farce.
