German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda
Kingsley Wilson, the newly-appointed DoD Deputy Press Secretary, believes in a thoroughly-debunked antisemitic conspiracy theory. I've mostly only seen this theory promoted by mask-off neo-Nazis. archive.is/dPvse

You know who are not confused, or uncertain, or mealy-mouthed about this? The Germans. Who might have some insight into this matter.

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting. Yet sometimes, it's just unambiguously and unarguably laid out black and white.
Look. It's fascism. It's trans-national, systematic, networked, fascism. They mean it.They're not joking. What are you going to do?
Woah. Google just filed redacted versions of many of its Summary Judgment exhibits in Texas v Google adtech antitrust case ahead of the March 31 trial. Although this case mirrors DOJ's case awaiting decision, it has even more eye-popping evidence. And an expert suggesting $29B in penalties. /1
For years, we’ve heard about women prisoners in Syria being raped, giving birth in prison, and their children being imprisoned with their mothers. As rebels open the prison to release prisoners, you can see a little boy in an overcrowded, messy cell. x.com/yashar/statu...

Every time someone chooses cycling over driving for one kilometer society is €1,35 richer. Through safer streets, cleaner air, lighter traffic, higher productivity, and cheaper medical and maintenance bills. Shouldn’t governments do everything in their power to enable that choice?

So, the Internet Archive has two different problems at the same time: 1. A massive data breach, which has been confirmed. 2. A DDoS/defacement by a hacktivist group that claims they're doing this for Palestine, which has some real strong "we're kicking this puppy for Palestine" energy.

The first demonstration in Germany against the AfD took place on 13 January 2024. Since then, 2.9 million people have taken part in a total of 486 demonstrations against right-wing extremism. In every city, in every small town....
Christian Eymery@christianeymery.bsky.social · 3y agoIhr Lieben, Die erste Demo, die ich notiert habe, war die in Duisburg am 13.1.24 mit 2.400 Teilnehmenden. Seitdem sind 485 Demos hinzugekommen. Insgesamt haben fast 2,9 Millionen Menschen an 486 Demos gegen Rechts teilgenommen. Und ich bin mir sicher, dass ich einige Demos nicht erfasst habe.
Gerade in ostdeutschen Bundesländern sehen wir aktuell vermehrt kleinere demokratische Bündnisse, die gegen die rechsextreme AfD mobilisieren. Solche Initiativen sind im Hinblick auf das Superwahljahr 2024 von großer Bedeutung, wenn es darum geht, den erstarkenden Rechtsextremismus zurückzudrängen.

Do you know why Putin hates NATO? It's not because he's "afraid of a NATO attack on Russia", but because NATO makes it more difficult to replicate in other European countries what Russia did last night in Ukraine.
