She has the power to change this. She can enable safe routes, remove the dependence on traffickers. Time for action if she's serious. So far she's come across as a heartless shill. It's in her hands. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Reiche nutzt allen Ernstes den Begriff "Machtergreifung" 🤯 „Und deshalb dürfen zwei andere Parteien, die die Linke brauchen würde, um zur Macht zu kommen, auf gar keinen Fall die Hand zur Machtergreifung hier erreichen.“ Der CDU ist echt nicht mehr zu helfen. www.welt.de/politik/deut...

Bundeswirtschaftsministerin: „Nicht nur gefährlich für Berlin, sondern für unser Land“ – Reiche warnt vor Linken-Regierung - WELT
Die Linke will Wohnungskonzerne vergesellschaften. Für Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Reiche wäre eine Berliner Regierung mit dieser Partei ein fatales Signal an Investoren.

Dass ausgerechnet ein hessischer CDUler wie Boris Rhein(fall) nun der A*D den roten Teppich ausrollen will, ist an Geschmacklosigkeit nicht zu übertreffen. Oder hat die CDU-Hessen ihr von einem A*D-Sympathisanten erschlossenes Mitglied Walter Lübcke schon vergessen? Feind > Todfeind > Parteifreund

The thing that gets me about these lurid anti-Zionist statements, like the one the Greens just passed, is that it is *so fucking easy* to criticise the Israeli government without engaging in that type of language.

Der rechtsradikale CDUler Boris Rhein(fall) aus Hessen möchte jetzt also die Stadtbilddebatte auffrischen und der A*D Ausschussvorsitze im Bundestag ermöglichen. Bleiernes Schweigen von CDU-Freund Wüst. Daran merkt man: Wüst äußerst sich nur, wenn es für seine Karriere gut ist.

A common theme that drives me absolutely wild with elections/polling these days: 1. Right wing wrecks everything 2. Left of centre figure elected 3. Left of centre can’t fix all the damage in 5 seconds so the right wing, who have got 10x worse in the meantime, lead polls again/win next election

Unpopular opinion: Die Grünen gewinnen derzeit nicht auf Bundesebene leicht hinzu, weil sie so gute Politik machen, sondern weil die CDU implodiert & Rest-Vernünftige der ehemaligen CDU-Wählerschaft dann eben nicht direkt zur A*D springen, sondern sich im bürgerlichen Spektrum Alternativen suchen.

Billionaires want you to think taxing their wealth "doesn't do anything." Massachusetts passed a millionaire tax and raised $3.1 BILLION. That money is funding bridges, buses, teachers, and free community college. Wealth taxes WORK. That's why the rich hate them. Tax the rich.

Für den Inhalt dieser 2 Absätze haben andere komplette Bücher gebraucht. Auf den Punkt.
Ich sitze da, höre all diese Sätze, und mir wird klar: Nicht die vier Jahre Treuhandkahlschlag haben den Osten zu dem gemacht, was er heute ist. Nein, der heilige Schatz dieser eingeschworenen Gemeinde hier sind Kriegstraumata und vierzig Jahre DDR. Dieses dunkle Erbe wird liebevoll gehütet und gepflegt. Aus diesen Erfahrungen speist sich der Wunsch nach Härte und Homogenität. Die Zumutungen der Gegenwart werden beantwortet mit den Bewältigungsstrategien der Vergangenheit. Es ist die Erfahrung derjenigen, die sich in autoritären Systemen angepasst haben oder die bereit waren, mitzumachen. Deren Opportunismus sich ausgezahlt hat. Sie waren, das lehrt die Geschichte, in Ost wie West stets in der Mehrheit.

Daraus ziehen sie ihr Selbstbewusstsein. Sie sind bis heute nicht bereit, ihre Erfahrungen infrage zu stellen. Sie abzugleichen mit den Geschichten jener, die unter dem System gelitten haben, das ihr Opportunismus stabilisierte.

Rather difficult not to feel a bit gloomy about the state of the country atm, so I wasn’t going to make much of a thing of this anniversary this year. And then I saw this and started to cry. Because a free and united Germany in a free and united Europe was worth it. And is worth fighting for now.

Whoever this was got Terry Pratchett right to the core of the thing #STP #TerryPratchett #BookSky

16. Okt.
Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just:
Here's a funny little joke
Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later
Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept
Here's a unique and well written simile
Here's a lil guy
Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying
Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned
Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way
Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid
Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

Old photo: the village of Aldborough, near Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire, was once Isurium Brigantum, a major Romano-British town. Some splendid mosaic pavements, including this one rediscovered in 1848, survive there in the care of English Heritage.
