Trump on Tomahawks for Ukraine:

Well, I don't know. I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest with you about Tomahawks. Do they want to have tomahawks going in their direction? I don't think so.
I think I might speak to Russia about that, in all fairness.

Ich glaube eigentlich nicht daran, dass die Idee funktioniert. Wer hat schon Platz im Garten hierfür. Erinnerte mich an ähnliche Strukturen, die es in Australien gibt. Dachte eigentlich nur, die Idee sollte bekannt sein & diskutiert werden.

These guys are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out on Saturday, and that's all the more reason to put down your "wine mom protest" objections and join them.

Dass "die Leute interessieren sich nicht für die Klimakrise" ein sehr erfolgreiches Stück Meta-Desinformation ist, zeigt übrigens nicht nur der Hamburger #Zukunftsentscheid. Die (nationale wie globale) Studienlage ist völlig eindeutig.Die Leute wissen, was los ist (Text von Juli)

Forschung gegen gefühlte Wahrheit
Die Deutschen haben keineswegs die Nase voll vom Klimaschutz
Eine Kolumne von Christian Stöcker
Niemand interessiert sich mehr für die größte aller Krisen? Falsch. Das zeigen Forschungsdaten ebenso wie ein Erlebnis in meinem Motorradunterricht.

The idea that there are activists and citizens who attend protests because it’s what they believe in is completely foreign to them. If it isn’t a personal grift, they don’t understand the motivation.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Nikolaus Blome findet in einem Kommentar im Spiegel, dass sich Linke und Grüne „immer frecher“ die „vornehme Zurückhaltung der Rechten“ bei Kulturkampfthemen zunutze machten. Was die Rechten machten, sei nur Mehrheitswille. Das könne deshalb gar nicht Kulturkampf sein.
Ja, so hab ich auch geguckt.😳

There's still a tendency in academia (and I am no exception to this) to talk about authoritarianism and fascistization as if these are just things we could observe out there, somehow unrelated to and not directly affeciting us, and not forces already at work both within and against our institutions

This seems true, but it has pretty dark implications, because the consistent historical trend is for radicals of this sort, when stymied, to ramp up the violence in an effort to break through.

I think some folks are expecting a 'soft' Hungary-style tyranny and I don't think that's in the cards.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

in which a sitting justice on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court seems to imply he’s worried about whether there’ll be a presidential race in 2028 boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Speculating on Republican motivations, Dougherty said at his Chestnut Hill event that he expects the court to continue playing a major role in election law: “The theory is that we have to deal with a congressional election in 2026, and there’s preparation regarding gerrymandering for the next presidential election—should there be one.”

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
