Seh sehr guter Artikel. Gibt sehr zu denken.
„Es braucht Menschen, die bereit sind, ihren eigenen Körper auszusetzen, weil sie nicht mehr bereit sind, Ungerechtigkeiten hinzunehmen.
Es ist am Ende vermutlich die mächtigste Art, Macht zu erschüttern.
Und nur sehr selten reagiert Macht mit Milde, wenn sie erschüttert wird.“

Uuuh. If you want to read a pretty sobering piece about surveillance and economy, study that well-written thread.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

✅Reality check: You don’t spend hundreds of millions buying warehouse camps if you plan to stop. This is infrastructure, not temporary. This is the beginning, laid in concrete with no intention of slowing down. #Resist

Epstein Files: Loyalität zwischen reichen Männern, radikaler Hass auf Frauen
Die Epstein Files zeugen von patriarchalen Praktiken, die weit verbreitet sind – doch oft erst dann schockieren, wenn Ausmaß und Verdichtung des Hasses auf Frauen und Mädchen schwarz auf weiß vor uns ...

The far-right hates liberalism in part because liberalism empowered women socially, politically, and economically, and so made them less dependent on settling for a mediocre man to provide for them. So they want to destroy liberalism to return women to a state of powerlessness and dependence.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Jesus's name appears fewer times in the New Testament than Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

![Western façade of Venice's St. Mark's Basilica reflected in the water covering the square in front of it.
"The exterior of the basilica is divided into two registers. On the western façade, the lower register is dominated by five deeply recessed portals that alternate with large piers.[30] The lower register was later completely covered with two tiers of precious columns, largely spoils from the Fourth Crusade.[33]
Consistent with Byzantine traditions, the sculptural elements are largely decorative: only in the arches that frame the doorways is there a functional use of sculpture that articulates the architectural lines.[49] In addition to the reliefs in the spandrels, the sculpture at the lower level, relatively limited, includes narrow Romanesque bands, statues, and richly carved borders of foliage mixed with figures derived from Byzantine and Islamic traditions. The eastern influence is most pronounced in the tympana over the northern-most and southern-most portals."

KZ comebacks. It's just so terrible.
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

Incredible. Making Black tradition illegal. Making it disappear.
FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
