Also wenn Bärbel Bas im Sommerinterview auf die Frage, was die SPD macht, wenn die AfD ne Mehrheit im Landtag einfährt, mit „Das weiß ich doch jetzt noch nicht“ antwortet, mag das ehrlich sein, aber puh, puh, puh.

In der erneuten Stadtbildaussage ist die Trennlinie zur Forderung der extremen Rechten nach „Remigration“ nur noch eine begriffliche. Gemeint ist im Großen und Ganzen das Gleiche: Deutschland soll wieder weißer werden. So weit sind wir also gekommen – das ist absolut beschämend.

Die Sicherheitsdebatte nach dem Angriff auf den CSD, die weit über AfD und Union hinausreicht, macht zwei fundamental falsche Annahmen über Sicherheit und Gewalt. Sie sind generell falsch, aber besonders für queere Menschen. Erstens: "Gewalt geht von Extremisten aus, der Staat schützt vor Gewalt"

Being queer means being the target of violence. Every queer person knows this. It's deeply engraved in who we are. We live with it every day of our lives. Not because of terrorism but because it is structurally enshrined in our "free" societies. Violence against queer people is not an exception ...

NEU: Die Bundesregierung plant den schwersten Angriff auf staatliche Transparenz in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Das IFG soll abgeschafft werden. Das ist nicht nur ein Bruch des Koalitionsvertrags, sondern beschädigt Presse- und Informationsfreiheit massiv. fragdenstaat.de/artikel/poli...

Beschluss des Koalitionsausschusses: SPD und Union planen Abschaffung des IFG

Es ist der schwerste Angriff auf staatliche Transparenz in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik: Der Koalitionsauschuss von SPD, CDU und CSU hat beschlossen, das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz de facto abzu...

Over on X - Elon Musk boosting Rupert Lowe tweet calling immmigrants "third world savages" - so another day ending in Y. Musk also replied "yes" to this in another post reply to Lowe.

Twitter / X screenshot showing a post Elon Musk re-shared on Jun. 27 (he also replied "Yes" below it, in another post not shown here) The tweet said:
Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10
It has now reached the point where I truly believe that public officials and politicians who continue to knowingly import third world savages into our communities should be prosecuted.

It is that reckless, that irresponsible, that dangerous.

People need to go to prison.

3 Millionen Datenpunkte untersucht.  2.500 Belege gefunden.  13 Monate geprüft.  1 Ergebnis. Die AfD ist verfassungswidrig. Ein zulässiger Verbotsantrag beim Bundesverfassungsgericht hätte wahrscheinlich Erfolg. Das ist das Ergebnis unseres heute veröffentlichten Gutachtens. 🧵

Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

Wir sollten wirklich anfangen den Begriff "Brandmauer" zu vermeiden. Er hat in der Brandmauer-Diskussion ein diffuses Eigenleben angenommen als unklare Chiffre. Es lässt sich so leicht gegen die Brandmauer argumentieren, weil man nicht sagen muss was man aktiv will: Zusammenarbeit mit Rechtsextremen

Auch ohne unmittelbar drohende Regierung der AfD stünde es einer Demokratie gut zu Gesicht, sich zu fragen, was rechtliche Regelungen in den Händen von solchen bedeuten, denen man das schlimmste zutraut.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

Ein Softwareunternehmen ruft öffentlich zur Errichtung einer neuen Weltordnung auf, garniert mit Positionen, die man nur rechtsextrem nennen kann. Diese Software hat in deutschen Behörden NICHTS verloren.

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty.
We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect.
But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
— have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese

Trump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass" Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?

The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom, one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits. This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation. Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection. Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started? The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System! The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Bin nachhaltig konsterniert darüber, dass die Androhung eines Völkermordes in Deutschland als „rhetorischer“ Kniff in einem militärischen Konflikt legitimiert wird. Erinnern bedeutet auch, Verantwortung für das Jetzt und die Zukunft zu übernehmen. Andernfalls ist es reine Folklore ohne Bedeutung.
