The editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...
Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 3w agoThese photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...
I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

launching a substack in 2026 sends several messages, none of them good 1. you're not politically attentive enough to know the company is run by white supremacist coddling assholes 2. you know the company is run by white supremacist coddling assholes and don't care 3. you're getting paid, see #2.

Ohne Informationsfreiheitsgesetz wären die Lügereien von Kai Wegner nicht rausgekommen. Wenn die Bundesregierung dieses Gesetz jetzt abschaffen möchte, legt sie die Axt an den Stamm der Demokratie. www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/die-n...
Unwahrheiten per Rechtsweg aufgedeckt: Der Fall Wegner zeigt, wie wichtig Kontrollmechanismen der Medien sind
Dass Berlins Regierender Kai Wegner auf die Spitzenkandidatur für die CDU verzichtet, ist politisch richtig. Seine Falschaussagen haben dem Amt und damit dem Ansehen Berlins geschadet.

This is also why a lot of men seem to have trouble understanding sexual violence as violence, and understanding rape as morally serious. To them, it isn’t.
I actually kind of believe the likes Platner & Brett Kavanaugh when they say they have no memory of committing sexual violence. Not just because these guys were so drunk at the time, but also because committing sexual violence is so banal to them that it’s not distinct enough to be remembered.
Every time someone is like "prison abolition? but what about RAPISTS" bitch we have basically abolished prison for rapists as it IS, and we aren't even trying anything restorative or whatever

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
Zine version of the Guardian interview with some of the Prairieland defendants. historyiswhat.noblogs.org/files/2026/0...
A phenomenon I've noticed recently is people trying to occupy some untenable middleground wrt to the use of systems sold as "AI" -- this is a position where people try to recognize the harms of this tech but also hold space for "responsible" or "ethical" use. 🧵>>
People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.
The web should be accessible to people with poor internet connections & assistive technologies. As a UX designer, I will absolutely die on this hill.
