UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Im Netz wird größtenteils über internationale oder Bundespolitik diskutiert. Dabei spielt sich das Leben der meisten Menschen im Kommunalen ab. Denke, dass viele Gedanken (Ideen, Ansätze) zu einer Stadt, Gemeinde auch woanders hilfreich wären. Zumal das Kommunale ohnehin global gedacht werden muss.

The hardest part after finding out you’re autistic?
Realising how much of your life was shaped by fear.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of being too much.
Fear of losing love.
The work isn’t becoming fearless - it’s learning what deserves your energy now.

Vorschieben, Frauen & Mädchen schützen zu wollen, als würde sexualisierte Gewalt vor allem von Migranten ausgehen, ist so hanebüchen wie perfide. Es ist rassistisch und misogyn zugleich - und eine klassische Erzählung von Rechtsextremen, die im Übrigen nicht auf "Schutz", sondern Besitzanspruch fußt

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

The extreme right in the Parliament initiated a debate called ”time to end mass migration now - protect our women and children”.This debate should never have happened. Because it’s wrong. Wrong. Wrong. 1. There is a 66% drop in asylum applications 2. Majority of men who commit sexual crimes are EU-nationals according to EU wide data 3. I have my own voice. Don’t you dare claim to represent it. The gender-based violence is a man problem. It’s not a migration outcome.View all 5,779 comments

Deimos, the smaller of Mars's moons, is slightly bigger than Cardiff, and has an average escape velocity of around 5.7m/s: a little over 20km/h.
This is low enough that an athlete could jump off into space if they got a running start - but they couldn't, because the gravity's too low for good grip.

The Trump administration follows the German Nazi‘s playbook from the 1930ies: Dehumanize the opposition. Accuse them for all kinds of crime and violence. Invent and exaggerate crimes. Use this as a pretext for extreme ‚countermeasures‘. Finally proclaim a new order to ‚get things under control‘.
