It depicts Saint Gregory the Illuminator (left) healing King Trdat (right) from a disfigurement—a story of healing that communicates a deeper meaning of what it means to be human beyond acts of animalistic authority, represented as the boar.

If I see a link to a supposedly politically progressive blog that is not just platformed on proud Nazi-funder Substack, but also has an AI slop image generated from the mass theft of labor by artists, that's a double nope from me, dear ones! I get that life is complicated, but these issues aren't.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

"Merkels Flüchtlingspolitik" ist auch so ein Phantasma. Unter Bundeskanzlerin Merkel begannen die Gesetzgebungsverfahren zu Verschärfungen im Asylrecht - ein Karussell, das sich bis heute weiterdreht - buchstäblich in derselben Woche wie das "Wir schaffen das."

„Im Moment betreibt die Wirtschaftsministerin eine Rückkehr zum fossilen Wachstum,“

sagt @georgsauerwein.bsky.social von Christians 4 Future im aktuellen @eulemagazin.de Interview: eulemagazin.de/globaler-sue...

Zitat von Georg Sauerwein aus dem Eule-Interview: "Die Gas-Pläne der Bundesregierung sind obendrein ein geo-strategischer Fehler. Wir machen uns mit einer Weiternutzung von Erdgas von sehr problematischen Ländern weiterhin abhängig, sei es Russland, seien es die USA oder die Golf-Emirate. Die Pläne der Bundesregierung gehen auch weit über eine Netzreserve hinaus. Im Moment betreibt die Wirtschaftsministerin eine Rückkehr zum fossilen Wachstum. Das sind Fehlinvestitionen, die aus systemischer Trägheit heraus und wegen massiven Lobbyismus geschehen. Und die uns alle viel Geld kosten werden. Das passiert, wenn man eine Gas-Lobbyistin wie Katherina Reiche (CDU) zur Ministerin macht."

so ein Kitschbild der Rolle von Merkel im neoliberalen Austeritätsregime der Zehner-Jahre, wegen ihrer Flüchtlingspolitik. Aber das war die Ausnahme, und lässt sich zur Hälfte auch aus einem Stabilitätskalkül zugunsten des Status Quo in Südosteuropa ableiten.
