'“Morality” is not enough. On the contrary, she writes: “it is possible to mean well, to be caring and kind, loving one’s neighbour as oneself, yet to be complicit in the corruption and violence of social institutions”.'
“the struggle against fascism cannot begin in moral condemnations or abstract politics alone, but must start with a confrontation of the quiet compromises, self-deceptions, and moral blind spots within each of us”

Thirty years after her death, Rose's command to look for fascism inside our selves is more powerful than ever

Das sagt auch so ziemlich alles über die SPD, was man wissen muss, auch wenn es nichts Neues ist.

immer wenn jemand sagt, dass "leider unschöne Bilder nicht zu vermeiden" seien, muss man sich klar machen, dass entweder in seinen Augen die "Bilder" das eigentliche Problem oder aber die "unschönen Bilder" der eigentliche Zweck der Übung sind.

Sometimes, it's difficult to predict how #SCOTUS is going to rule based solely on how the oral argument goes.

And sometimes ... it's not.

Everything I know about corporate governance I learned from succession, so I assume the Paramount offer will be scuttled by someone failing to show up at a board meeting or some random ex family member who then never reappears

This kind of thing, where a public commentator praises an openly fascist document for how “easy it is to read” for “normal people,” in a well-you-gotta-hand-it-to-them sort of way, helps illustrate the dangers that arise when anti-intellectualism becomes a universal principle
I’m also gonna say something that will be controversial here: This is actually a very accessible and easy to read document. Is it good prose? No, but it also doesn’t do jargon. It might be written by AI, as some have suggested, but for a normal person, this is much clearer than past strategies.

So wichtig und doch so gern vergessen.
Da die #GdP mittlerweile auch ganz offen gegen Abgeordnete austeilt: Das Handeln der staatlichen Exekutive zu kontrollieren, und damit auch die #Polizei, ist zentraler Teil der Jobbeschreibung. Dafür wurden sie von uns allen gewählt. #Demokratie #GI2911

Die alltäglichen Sauereien im deutschen Bundestag.
Unglaublich. @clarabuenger.bsky.social hat eben im Bundestag angesichts der Dobrindt'schen Weigerung, 2000 Afghan*innen aufzunehmen, denen Deutschland schon Schutz versprochen hatte, von der Banalität des Bösen gesprochen.

Und bekommt von Klöckner mit Verweis auf Hannah Arendt deswegen eine Rüge.
