In the common fight against fascism it isn’t important that you like your ally — you might even rightfully hate them! — the important part is that you fight the fash together

Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others.
This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.

I remember a few years ago when people complained about pinkwashing. Oh, how do I miss the times, when things like this Barbie, representing and celebrating humankind in all its diversity, were basically weekly news. Ten years that seem like a century ago

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Russia's full scale war against Ukraine, which Moscow started on 24th February of 2022, lasts now exactly as long as the German-Soviet war in WW2, exactly 1,418 days.

Multimillion-Pound London Homes Hit by Sudden, Gaping Cracks
Londoners face a dangerous acceleration of subsidence risks, as record temperatures fueled by climate change destabilize the clay foundations on which most of the UK capital’s homes are built.

My Dearest Martha,
All is quiet in the camp, the men resting after today's bloody skirmish with the Quinoa Battalion.
I try to sleep, but as I drift off, I hear the echoes of the fiendish battle cry of the damned veggie burgers reverberate through my head: "Kale them all! Kale, kale, kale"

ICE is many awful things, but it is also clearly a luxurious social welfare government employment scheme for the most inept, least employable, completely unusable for any practical work, toxic dorks out there.

Proteste in Iran: Es braucht internationalen Druck
Wieder erheben sich die Menschen in Iran, das Regime reagiert mit Gewalt. Die diplomatische Reaktion von Kanzler Merz ist einfach nur lächerlich.

If you ever wonder about the future that was and still could be again, check out the history of the incredible vicinal tramways in Belgium. Almost every village was connected. And with lighter vehicles and prefabricated tracks we can bring this back and extend it.
A visit to #TEC #Charleroi 🇧🇪 and the suburban #tram line to #Anderlues on a wintry day in early 2013. The wonderful staff at the tram depot even took a type 6100 tramcar, still liveried in its original #SNCV #Hainaut colours, out from the shed in order to allow for a photo being taken.

Like the Nazi occupiers of Antwerp, Trump II mistakes public displays of cruelty for strength. But those displays are far more likely to impel the Alice Van Dammes of today to do something than to impress anyone. Victory is never guaranteed, but this is another reason I believe we will win.

Thema für viele mit Migrationshintergrund: Jeder Fünfte in Deutschland denkt über Auswandern nach
Besonders unter Menschen, die zugewandert sind, oder deren Nachkommen erwägen erstaunlich viele, das Land zu verlassen. Das zeigt eine neue Studie. Konkrete Pläne haben aber nur wenige.

Der deutsche Arbeiter war unschuldig!
»Es ist schlicht nicht der Fall, dass Konsum Emissionen verursacht. Die entstehen fast ausschließlich im Produktionsprozess. Das Problem ist, wie produziert wird, nicht, dass produziert wird«, schreibt Jacobin Contributing Editor Jonas Thiel.
»Den Saft abdrehen« ist keine Lösung
Der Brandanschlag auf das Berliner Stromnetz wurde auch von Linken fast durchweg verurteilt. Doch nicht erst die Methode ist falsch, sondern bereits die in der Klimabewegung verbreitete Analyse, dass unsere »imperiale Lebensweise« das Problem sei.
