German fully aware of my people's history watches in awe how societies erode along established patterns. Trying to add literate and global perspectives. Yes, I said trying.
History: In the endgame of the NAZI regime (late 1944 - April 1945), Hitler, in his delusions, was still dreaming about victory and defied any bad news or punished the messengers. #ReflectingPool
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 9h ago“The Reflecting Pool mess is different from other Trump obsessions because it reveals just how immune to evidence and logic his beliefs have become, even when a trusted lieutenant wheels an entire box of supporting evidence into the Oval Office.”
Innovation: While the US strategy is "Drill, drill, drill", China innovations only accelerate. #PV #Solar #Solarfarms

#Ford CEO: Wise words from #Farley. Noone, ever, could stop a technological revolution in the long run. The horse carriage is gone. Does anyone still believe ICE cars will dominant forever - even in the US? #EV supercarblondie.com/ford-ceo-jim...

Elections in Germany: German elections in focus of Russian produced Fake Stories. “Ahead of the elections in Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Lower Saxony, dozens of fake pieces of content are circulating that aim to discredit candidates and portray Germany as divided.”

History: Tsar Empress Elizabeth (Elizaveta Petrovna) (Reign 1741-1762) was known for her lavish architecture and gilded halls. The last tsars were killed as part of the Russian Revolution in 1918.

r/protectUSelections@protectuselections.bsky.social · 2d agoWe have a criminal president.
Thought: Unhinged Quacksalbers belong off the air, or behind bars if they endanger society. For those living in reality: MAGA Quacksalbers are responsible for 100k+ excess deaths in the US during Covid. The US did worst in comparison to other developed nations. #Covid19
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoI worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
US Covid failures: One core responsibility of government is to keep people safe. The MAGA US administration has failed its people during Covid. In the developed world Quacksalbers who endanger society are either silenced or are held accountable for damage done. US excess death stats in thread. 👇
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4d agoRFK: "You are saying nonsense." Bash: "I am not saying nonsense, excuse me?…This is not productive. " RFK: "You're talking nonsense…You were scaring people." Bash: "Why are you saying that?" RFK: "Because that was the job of CNN." Bash: "Okay, stop."
MAGA Logic: Show a lawn to defend the lies around a pool. #ReflectingPool #Propaganda
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump is publicly fighting with his own hand-picked appointees after his Justice Department concluded in court that the Reflecting Pool damage was primarily caused by a “rushed and botched installation.” Maybe whoever installed the grass was also unqualified and is responsible for the “8647”.
America 2026: American Billionaire owned companies buy Chinese high quality & cheap EVs in bulk. Americans cannot even get one. So MAGA. #Alphabet #Waymo #Oligarchy #China #SundarPichai www.forbes.com/sites/alanoh...
Americans Can’t Buy Chinese EVs. Waymo Is Importing Thousands
The U.S. has used tariffs and security rules to keep Chinese cars off dealer lots. Alphabet’s robotaxi company appears to be buying them by the boatload.

Another US culture war around history revision and #Odyssey: A good time to remind oneself that history is typically written by the victor. A "people's history of the US" is a reflection from the viewpoint of those who did not win. Good weekend read. Tidbits captured in thread below 👇 #ElonMusk
German Wondering@germanwondering.bsky.social · 6mo agoGood Read: Howard Zinn - A People's History of the United States. (Pub 2009) Zinn shows US history as shaped by conquest, slavery, and inequality, with resistance movements pushing back. It argues constant war, rising labor unions, and growing corporate power define its trajectory. #Booksky
Reflecting Pool: Nice short collection of depraved propagandists and sycophants having followed the cult leader's marching orders. #Pirro #Burgum #Leavitt #Watters [#DOJ had to drop charges against Olympian David Hearn and called the reflecting pool work "rushed, flawed and poorly executed"]

So many people paid with their lives for believing Trump and Fox's lies. I wish there was a way to make them pay for what is basically mass genocide, proven by those statistics.
German Wondering@germanwondering.bsky.social · 6d agoReality: US excess deaths per capita were roughly 1.5–2× higher than similarly wealthy peer countries like UK, Germany, France, Canada, etc. between 2020-2021. Causality is widely attributed to the US handling of Covid under Donald Trump. And Dr. #Fauci knew. 👇 www.kff.org/covid-19/pre...
Pattern: Everything Trump's family touches is about money. It's not about constituents, be it the people as a whole, or just soccer fans. And corruption is never far away. #Corruption
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 5d ago"Infantino’s FIFA has crossed the threshold from a sports story involving money and power to a money and power story involving sports."
History: America's internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps during WWII is taught today as an example of failure of constitutional checks and balances of US Government.
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · 6d ago"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Jennifer Shin - WTAF@jennifershin.bsky.social · 6d agoConsidering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.
America plays corruption. Europe plays soccer. Period. #FIFA

Living in America's planned economy: Can't compete on EVs. Can't compete on vacuums and other modern world tech. So, no such thing for America in their so-called "free market economy". #FCC mashable.com/tech/us-robo...
The FCC bans all robot vacuums made outside the U.S.
That's pretty much all of them.

The day China discovered that Chinese EVs are better and cheaper. #Econsky
China Biz Buzz@china-biz-buzz.bsky.social · 7d agoGerman engineering is discovering that brand heritage has limited range. BMW’s China deliveries plunged 30% in the second quarter, dragging global volumes lower and increasing pressure to accelerate restructuring and its next generation of EVs.
I still think the better positioning of what he and liberals want is "Social Democracy", not "Democratic Socialism". "Socialism" is a swear word in the US, trained into people for 100 years to hate. And pure Socialism - as in real life implementations - to date IS a failed societal experiment.
