A large handmade cardboard caricature of Peter Thiel lies on the pavement. His face is attached to a dark red, devil-like body with horns and an elongated arm.A hand-painted protest banner reads “THIEL SHALL NOT PASS” in large red and yellow letters, with a rainbow painted in the upper-right corner.

Peter #Thiel today gets the Axel Springer Award for Palantir being a company „that is crucial to the resilience of democracies“. So Berlin protests this bullshit and Thiel with a bunge of Gandalfs.
A group of four individuals dressed in costumes and wigs holds protest signs in a street. The signs feature messages related to "Thiel" in German. The background includes a modern building and a crowd of people.

EN: Russian disinformation networks are once again gleefully spreading the fairy tale about alleged election fraud targeting the #AfD (fake, of course). Just in case anyone still has any doubts about which parties are Putin’s parties. You’d have to really hate Germany to vote for the AfD.

Takeaways from #eurosky: big tech social media displaced journalism, a core pillar of democracy, and has been bad for society. EU lawmakers want European, privacy-centered tech. There are still questions of whether the internet is worth building on and what to build. But they are talking about it

Elon Musk thinks he understands the political spectrum better than actual experts. The AfD is far-right by every objective metric. When even Marine Le Pen rejects the AfD for being too extreme, claiming they aren't far right is complete nonsense

This exchange shows why we created #LeaveX: tech billionaires are using platforms they control to push their political agendas and undermine democracy worldwide. The tech oligarchs are gaining ground. How can we bring democrats together and turn concern into *effective action*?
Screenshot of an exchange on X. Elon Musk writes “Gut gemacht!” (“Well done!”). Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD’s lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, thanks Musk for his support and political perspective on Germany. He says that if the AfD takes responsibility, he would welcome “strong and constructive cooperation” and that Germany would once again become a place worth investing in.
