🔥: “In the 1940’s, Norwegians made & wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal & punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute…we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.”
The pattern was designed by a Minneapolis yarn store. All sales are going to local immigrant aid organizations. They've raised over $125,000 (!!!) since the knitting pattern was posted a few days ago.

Deepfakes, die Frauen ohne Einverständnis entkleiden, erniedrigen oder in pornografisches Material einfügen, sind seit Jahren ein Riesenproblem. Grok ist nur ein Teil davon.

In this thread I’m providing you links to the names of photographers who are on the ground with me, who I trust and like, and whose work I admire.
If you don’t like Instagram, I don’t really know what to tell you but there’s nothing I can do. Sorry. You’ll have to figure that one out on your own!

Da gerade (zu Recht) viel Empörung zu lesen ist über die Festname des 5-Jährigen in den USA, ein kleiner Reminder:
Letztes Jahr haben deutsche Polizisten ein 10-jähriges syrisches Mädchen aus ihrer Schule gezogen, um sie abzuschieben.
Mit ihr wurden 2025 über 3000 Minderjährige aus 🇩🇪 abgeschoben.

In Breaking-News-Situationen - wie jetzt dem Attentat in Utah - sind das generell sinnvolle Empfehlungen 👇
![Breaking News Consumer's Handbook
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qjoddtmp5jxzkzvt3hoqz3tt/bafkreigi2e6uxrt67htjbrfcmtpbasfuz4jvetyyecnqvxxyt45zile72y@jpeg)
