I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

Ich brauche keine fünfzigste Reportage, die versucht, AfD-Wähler zu verstehen, ich hätte gerne mehr Berichte über eine Mehrheit der Deutschen, die enttäuscht vom Rechtsruck der Politik ist. Die Mehrheit, die 2024 & 2025 zu den größten Demos unserer Geschichte auf die Straßen ging & ungehört bleibt.

Die Rechte redet uns ein, Medien seien "links", wenn sie ausgewogen & faktenbasiert berichten, weil da die extreme Rechte nicht gut wegkommt.

Wenn diese demokratiefeindlichen Lügner medial gut wegkommen, sind die Medien nicht "fair", sondern machen ihren Job nicht gut.

Lasst euch nicht reinlegen.

So many similarities to GOP candidate Nixon dispatching Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's Vietnam talks, initiating a horrendous Cambodian bombing campaign after winning the 1968 election - only to sign essentially the same deal in 1973 that LBJ had put together 5 years earlier.

Hot take nach den Bürgermeisterwahlen und dem Zukunftsentscheid: Sind am Ende gar die zukunftszugewandten, Vielfalt schätzenden Menschen „das Volk“ und nicht die Leute, die sich jetzt lautstark über das Ergebnis demokratischer Prozesse beklagen? 🤔🤭

mother Goethel, 2025

-{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy }-

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower
