Welche Rolle spielen Gefühle in einer demokratischen Lebensform? Und welche Rolle kommt den von Kunst und populärer Kultur angeleiteten Erfahrungen dabei zu?

Een waarschuwing voor Nederlandse docenten: als AntiFa tot terroristische organisatie wordt verklaard, zullen de digitale rechtse stormtroepen zich ook storten op degenen die over (anti-)fascisme werken en lesgeven.

Die Abschiedsworte von Jane Goodall, der wirklich bahnbrechenden Forscherin und unermüdlichen Tierschützerin. May she rest in peace and look down on us with a gentle smile.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

It was great to see so many people in Amsterdam. 250.000 show the right-wing government of the Netherlands where to draw a “red line” when it comes to the devastating war in Gaza.

Signs of autumn

First cup of herbal tea.
First hot water bottle.
First woollen sweater,
though still too warm at the middle of day.
First time a beret on my head.
First bike ride with gloves.

Trump may often not mean what he says. He 's an impulse machine. But the second row behind him means what it says. Fanatics are always clear.
Poets aren't, but they have words for what we don't want to hear: "A hard rain's a-gonna fall."

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Jemand, der mit Heimatfilmen aufgewachsen ist, muss sich nun die Frage stellen: Gehören die Trapp-Familie und die Nonnen im Kloster, die sie vor den Nazis verstecken, auch zu einer "terroristischen Organisation" (USA & Niederlande 2025)?

@michaelbarenboim.bsky.social mit gewohnt klaren/für D ungewohnt klaren Worten „Zu sagen, dass ein Völkermord in Gaza stattfindet - wer das als antisemitisch bezeichnet, hat das Wort Antisemitismus nicht verstanden oder weiß nicht, was sich in Gaza abspielt.“

Die (Zahlen-)Welt des Markus Söder: "Das Bürgergeld ist mit 50 Milliarden Euro ähnlich hoch wie der reguläre Verteidigungshaushalt." (www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...)
Die Zahlen der Regierung: Bürgergeld = 29 Mrd. Euro, Verteidigung regulär = 62 Mrd. Euro.
Also doppelt soch hoch wie das Bürgergeld.

Der CSU-Vorsitzende Markus Söder will die AfD wieder klein machen, hält Sanktionen gegen Israel für grundfalsch und verteidigt die Nürnberger Rostbratwurst. Ein Gespräch.

And it's the best comedy ever.

Unfortunately, "El Presidummy" (J.Kimmel) says A in the morning and B in the afternoon, and C at night. And he loves Orwell speech: war is peace, hate is love, bad is good and good is bad.
If you twist and turn people's beliefs day after day, in the end they no longer know where they stand.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

2026 fehlen für das Deutschlandticket 800 Millionen. Deswegen steigt nun erneut der Preis des Tickets – von 9, 49, 58 auf nun 63 Euro.

Gleichzeitig wurde gerade für 720 Millionen € 3,2 Kilometer Stau-Autobahn in Berlin eröffnet.

Genau deswegen entsteht Frust, die sich dann an der Wahlurne entlädt.
