Welch ein Wahlabend! Grüne gewinnen die Bürgermeisterwahlen in der Kleinstadt #Schleswig und mit einer parteilosen Kandidatin in der Landeshauptstadt #Potsdam. In Hamburg zwingt der von Grünen unterstützte Zukunftsentscheid die Stadtregierung zu mehr Klimaschutz!
Hope!

ICE detained an autistic 5 year old girl in Leominster, Mass

WSJ reports that Ghislaine Maxwell is treated like a VIP guest at a five-star resort in her new minimum-security Club Fed prison. She recently received a special visitor, and the entire facility was placed on lock-down while the guest was there so that no one could see who she or he was. Creepy.

The unexpected arrival of the Epstein associate upset the camp’s routines. Some inmates say she got favorable treatment.

The fact that protests now feature people who don’t normally have to worry about what might happen to them in an adverse encounter with security forces is a HUGE DEAL.

It means that the “real” victims don’t have to suffer alone. It means that some people care about something more than themselves

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 6h

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

How Orwellian is this language: He was "handed to ICE to determine his alienage and removability.”

"Alienage," not citizenship.
"Removability," not legal rights.
And "handed" to ICE like they daintily passed a cup of tea, not grabbed and hauled off.

Plus the usual blaming of media for it all.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

The only way we save our country is through our numbers.

Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close.

Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive.

Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

When I phrase something in this manner I am very intentionally providing a generous read that offers people a gentle off-ramp from antisemitism and I don’t find it helpful when people chime in to tell me these folks are dyed in the wool antisemites who know what they’re doing

People are so fixated on pointing out that anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism that they blind themselves to the extremely obvious antisemite to anti-Zionist pipeline

Over 20 bat species call San Diego home! Though often overlooked, these nocturnal mammals play a vital role in our ecosystem—especially as natural insect controllers. Using echolocation to hunt, bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. That’s pretty amazing!

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."
