The most important thing Mamdani did was change the American political conversation from identity politics to class and economic inequality. That could change our entire trajectory for the better.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

„Der absolute Treppenwitz der Geschichte: Eine der zentralen Figuren in genau jenem Koalitionsausschuss, der diesen Coup eingefädelt hat, ist Jens Spahn. Ein Mann, den besagtes IFG mehrfach fast die politische Karriere gekostet hätte.“

Unironically this is twitter

Ukrainian scientist and physics professor Mykhailo Vysotskyi posted this heartbreaking video of his home destroyed by russia.

"My home. My apartment. My bedroom. Library. Cabinet. The life of a couple of generations. The archive we had been collecting since late XIX. Thousands of books, many thousands of photos. Unique manuscripts. Several paintings by prominent Ukrainian painters. Video, audio library. Up to the latest scripts of the psychics lectures for YouTube."

Two weeks ago, Mykhailo's apartment was already damaged by the previous attack — to be fully destroyed a day before yesterday 💔 This hurts so much. Thank God he and his parents, also prominent professors, are alive, but they lost everything they've built for generations.

russia aims to destroy our science, knowledge, culture, and identity. In the background, russians are whitewashing in the West by buying out prestigious literature prizes and making loud comebacks in the sports. This should be physically disgusting to any sane person.

I hope the time will judge everyone by their deeds.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla.

She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

Very simple, because France is not a color, it’s an idea… oh also because we are not un putain de raciste de merde.

Putin purposely attacks Ukrainian civilians. That’s called terrorism.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Words of condemnation alone will not stop attacks on Kyiv. Only sustained military support for Ukraine and increased pressure on Moscow can do that.

This week, the EU has started disbursing €6 billion under the €90 billion support loan to strengthen Kyiv’s defences.

Today, I will propose to sanction more entities supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex in response to the strikes. The more Moscow attacks civilians, the more sanctions must be imposed.

We keep raising the cost until Russia understands it cannot win.

EU staff in Kyiv are accounted for. I am deeply grateful to our colleagues on the ground, who continue their work with courage and dedication under the most difficult circumstances.

Germany ranks third globally in the number of billionaires despite having only 1/4 of the population of the US and 1/17 of China’s -

but is FIRST - by FAR - in the percentage of INHERITED wealth: 76%.

Guess what’s going to fix its rapid economic decline:

“You’ll understand that these kids are just like ours, except that they didn’t do as well in the lottery of birth — and that just because we can’t save every child’s life doesn’t mean we should save none of them.”

The "free speech" platform doesn't like speech that exposes the President's unprecedented and unparalleled corruption.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Once you kill a child, or your policies and actions lead to the death of children, whatever the case may be, it doesn't matter how many satellites you put into space, what anyone says you are or aren't, or how much wealth you amass. At the end of the day, you are a child killer.

NEW RESEARCH: One German tabloid coined one word. "Heizungshammer" spread to 1,100+ articles and helped to effectively kill Germany's heating law.

We analysed 333 BILD articles to trace how tabloid framing became legislation.

Reminder that programs like usaid were strikingly cheap and made us a superpower. The entire annual budget spanning the globe was about the cost of a few weeks of getting our asses handed to us in Iran.
