I despise these accounts on here, a lot of them with a "very realistic" 30k follow - 30k follower ratio, spewing the most pathetic, history-illiterate, centrist & left-bashing pro-Obama, pro-Hillary, pro-Biden, pro-Harris bullshit. As if everything was perfectly fine until Trump came along.
No way, not a hypocrisy, omg! Always from people who last year were demanding everyone, American or not, vote Kamala coz YES she's gonna continue the genocide but IN A WOKE WAY etc.

For two years officials and media in Germany dismissed Gaza’s death toll as propaganda. Now the Max Planck Institute released estimates that point to the same patterns seen in past genocides. Latest on my Substack

Germany’s Top Research Institute Confirms What Critics Said All Along About Gaza
For two years officials in Germany dismissed Gaza’s death toll as propaganda. Now the Max Planck Institute released estimates that make such denial impossible – and echo the patterns of past genocides

Wie sagt mein Vater (Ex-Beamter) immer: Wer einen Eindruck bekommen will, wie viele Rechte in der Justiz/Bundeswehr/Polizei unterwegs sind, sollte den Kollegen einfach beim Betriebsausflug ein paar Biere spendieren & dann schauen, wer so alles Parolen grölend im Stechschritt die Kneipe verlässt.

Wie bekommt man eigentlich eine Vasektomie? Man braucht einen Beratungsschein einer staatlichen Beratungsstelle, muss mindestens drei Tage Bedenkzeit einlegen und wird von christlichen Fundamentalist*innen auf dem Weg zur Praxis vollgebetet. Spaß! Man geht halt zum Arzt. #Gummibärenbande

Bitte die Uhren anpassen: Zwölfjährige gehörlose Mädchen sehen aus wie 16 bis 18, fünfzehnjährige Mädchen auf Epstein Island sind praktisch erwachsen und wirken wie 21 und vierzigjährige Männer in republikanischen Nazichats sind "Kinder, deren Leben ein Fehler nicht ruinieren sollte".

Wenn man verstehen will, welche Gruppe in der Union jetzt das Sagen hat, reicht es sich anzuschauen, wer 2017 in der Gewissensentscheidung im Bundestag gegen die "Ehe für alle" gestimmt hat: Bär, Bilger, Brinkhaus, Dobrindt, Frei, Kretschmer, Krings, Linnemann, Warken, alle dabei.

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures.

they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.
The "Gargoyles" animated series premiered on this day (Oct. 24) in 1994 with "Awakening, Part One!" One of the best and most influential shows of the 1990s, this fan-favorite cartoon offered-up mature and complex characters, incredible casting, and strong story-telling! #Gargoyles

Deutsche Leitmedien agieren rassistischen. Journalist*innen dieser Leitmedien agieren rassistisch.

Es ist an der Zeit denen klare Kante zu zeigen!

Kinder von Migranten sind kleine Paschas, Geflüchtete nehmen den Deutschen die Zahnarzttermine weg, Wir müssen mehr abschieben damit sich das Stadtbild wieder ändert.

Ich kann mich an keinen anderen Bundeskanzler mit solchen rassistischen Entgleisungen erinnern.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

What a final, what a World Cup! Absolutely brilliant. Well done Red Roses, that was another physically dominant performance. 👍

I hope this tournament finally lifts up Womens Rugby to the level of prominence it deserves.
