  1. CW: CW: far-right extremism, fascism, political violence

    The most disgusting thing about Sunday’s fucked-up election?

    The far-right mob has gone completely feral. Their morale has shot up by 200%, and apparently they’ve decided that public shame is now an obsolete concept. They feel legitimate now.

    They’re even louder. Even nastier. More confident.

    I’ll keep fighting the bastards, of course. I’m not going to hand them the field.

    But honestly? I’m getting depressed. Fighting fascists is exhausting, especially when they start cheering.
    Still here. Still fighting. 🏳️‍⚧️💜

  2. CW: CW: Fascism, far-right politics, racism, anti-queer rhetoric, threats to democracy.

    The AfD’s results in Saxony-Anhalt are not merely “deeply troubling.”

    They are the bill coming due after years of political complacency, denial, and deliberate-looking-away.

    Centrists have spent years telling us not to overreact.
    Not to “polarise.”
    Not to call the AfD what it is.
    Not to “drive voters into their arms.”
    Not to make everything about fascism.

    Meanwhile, the fascists kept organising.

    They normalised their language. They poisoned public discourse. They attacked migrants, queer people, democracy and the very idea of an open society, while "respectable" politicians kept insisting that the "real danger" was apparently being too rude about it.

    Well. Here we are.

    You cannot spend years treating an anti-democratic movement as just another flavour of conservative politics and then act shocked when it becomes stronger.

    This is not happening because anti-fascists were too loud. It is happening because far too many people with power were far too quiet.

    And no, the answer is not to move further to the right in the hope of appeasing the far right.

    The answer is to fight them. Clearly. Consistently. Without apology.

    Because fascism does not become less dangerous when we politely refuse to name it.

  3. "...Er forderte ICE-Kontrollen vor Supermärkten sowie schnelle Abschiebungen für Menschen ohne gültigen Aufenthaltsstatus. ..."

    Wie blöd kann man sein? Naja, Dummheit schützt vor Strafe nicht, recht so!
    Da sind die Migranten aus der 3. Welt ja doch intelligenter als so ein smarter Poster-Boy von den Nazis.

  4. "...US-Präsident Donald Trump regierte erbost auf die angekündigten kanadischen Zölle. ..."

    Wenn das dumme Trumpeltier erbost reagiert, ist alles richtig! Und wenn man seine "Freunde" (also die früheren) beleidigt und erniedrigt, dann muß man für sein asoziales Verhalten die Rechnung bekommen.

  5. CW: CW: Fascism, resistance, direct action

    Protest is saying, “I don't like this.”

    Resistance is saying, “This ends here.”

    Protest is refusing to play along.

    Resistance is making damn sure the game cannot continue.

    Protest raises a voice.

    Resistance puts its shoulder against the machine and says, “No further.”

    Because sometimes saying "this is wrong" is only the beginning.

    Sometimes you have to become the very inconvenient little bastard who makes sure it stops.

    And yes, my friends, that is rather more work than holding a sign.

    It is also rather more effective.

    "...Trump habe darauf geantwortet: »Wenn sich der Oman in den Weg stellt, werden wir sie in Grund und Boden bomben.« ..."

    Das US-Militär sollte sich vom Trumpeltier lossagen und dessen Befehle ignorieren. Und das nächste Mal, wenn das Trumpeltier im Marine One sitzt, direkt in die Klapse abbiegen.

  7. "...Dennoch konnten Handelsschiffe vor Beginn des Krieges ungehindert und frei von Gebühren und Abgaben die Meerenge passieren. ..."

    Falls das nicht mehr gelten sollte, könnten GB, Frankreich, Belgien und die Niederlande ja cu Gebühren für den Ärmelkanal erheben und Norwegen, Schweden und Dänemark für den Storebelt, Skagerak und Kattegat.

    Dann würde sich wenigstens das Problem mit der ruzzischen Schattenflotte in der Ostsee erledigen.

    Das Problem würde nicht bestehen, wäre das Trumpeltier nicht geboren worden! Und die Welt wäre auch ein klein bisschen besser!

  9. Dein Browser kann Leben retten. Du nutzt ihn für Netflix.

    Über Informationsfreiheit als Menschenrecht, die Brutalität digitaler Zensur, und was du heute noch dagegen tun kannst.

    Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der Information nicht mehr nur Macht ist, sie ist Überleben. Und wer über Information herrscht, herrscht über Realität. Das wissen Diktatoren. Das wissen autoritäre Regime. Das wissen auch einige demokratisch gewählte Regierungen besser, als ihnen lieb sein sollte. Die Frage ist: Wissen wir es auch? [Mehr lesen...]

    Hah! Als wenn es in den USA besser aussieht. Die spanischstämmigen Bürger überholen in den nächsten 20 Jahren die "weißen alten" Männer zahlenmäßig. Da helfen auch die Ausweisungen nicht dagegen, #trumpeltier!

  15. If you’re wondering just how far we’ve drifted from democratic norms—or where we are on the road to authoritarianism—look no further.
    👇

    Project 2025 lays it out plainly. Every policy it proposes is anti-democratic at its core. And it’s not theoretical—it’s already being implemented, step by step.

    This isn’t the spontaneous work of one man. Believing these executive orders are purely Trump’s ideas is, frankly, naïve. He’s the frontman. The real architects are the ones behind Project 2025—and they’re executing their plan with precision.

    Below is the tracker. Watch it for yourself.

  16. The question voters need to ask themselves before wasting their votes:

    What are the virtues & ethics the guy, who begs to get my vote to make him represent me, my family & friends in United States Congress really has?

    Will s/he serve me & most Americans or will s/he just be another lobbyist for an over-wealthy, self-centered splinter group unrepresentative of the nation's community?

  17. @DemocracyMattersALot Today's "Republicans" have reached the final stage of having nothing at all in common any longer with the party co-founded by Abraham Lincoln (, whose name mentioned alone must be to today's "GOP" what garlic, silver bullets, sunlight & "holy water" would've been to vampires), today's "GOP" now being an anti-constitutional, unelectable, credibility- & integrity-free, lawless, corrupt, lying & insurrectionary representation of the traitorous Confederacy, trying to take revenge for 1865 & Reconstruction.

  18. If you're serving Trump, you're not serving America.

    If you're serving Trump, you're serving Trump's sociopathic egocentric & exclusive life, liberty & pursuit of happiness regardless of your wellbeing.

    Trump will never serve the public. As a walking disservice to the public he will never be fit for public office.

    "...
    This is why I cherish my great-uncle's parting advice. They are the words not just of a man, but of an entire generation. Politics has plenty of room for socialists, liberals, moderates, conservatives, libertarians and all other non-hateful ideologies. But when it comes to the hate-based ideologies of the far right, the only appropriate attitude is absolute opposition. Why? To quote Uncle Merrill, "Nazis are bastards." While I can not advocate killing Nazis, no society that can call itself civilized will long endure unless we forcefully oppose their ideas.

  20. @SteveRogers @TonyStark Abraham Lincoln saw the Civil War as being “essentially a People's contest.”

    "The Confederate rebellion was an assault by a minority on the decision of the majority, as expressed in Lincoln’s own election, and in that way, it was really intended to question the entire principle of democracy."

    Today's "Republicans" are trying to repeat history - but they're still on the wrong side of history & humanity!

    Even if calling themselves "Republicans" today, instead of Confederates.

  24. (URCC) Republicans of 1867 to black voters:

    "[T]he word Radical as applied to political parties and politicians ... means one who is in favor of going to the root of things; who is thoroughly in earnest; who desires that slavery should be abolished, that every disability connected therewith should be obliterated."

    "Republicans" of 2023:

    Hold it, I gotta redraw congressional districts to disable blacks!

    Shouldn't a Florida governor at least be able to read & write?

    Is he signing bills with his thumb?

  26. @atrupar Spoiler alert: Even the megalomaniacal government of Florida (like any other of the 50 states) is bound to abide by the provision of the First Amendment, that "Congress shall make no law... ...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...", as held by the SCOTUS in Gitlow v. New York (1925) => Due Process, 14th Amendment.

    DeSantis (or any other "GOP" potentate) wants to rebel against the Constitution?
    Be prepared to be considered an insurrectionist, appropriately punished & disqualified.

  29. @mirandayaver Government must stop Neo-Duce DeSantis from establishing something wholly un-American & anti-American on U.S. soil.

    "A totalitarian regime may attempt to control virtually all aspects of social life, including the economy, the education system, arts, science, and the private lives and morals of citizens through the use of an elaborate ideology. It can also mobilize the whole population in pursuit of its goals."

    It's not only disgustingly undemocratic & un-American, it's anti-American.

  31. Suppressing uncomfortable historical truths in the state he currently controls, just seems to be too easy & simple for Ron DeNazis - striving for higher spheres & office, he's set to achieve more ambitious goals: Eg controlling the national curriculum.
