First Graphene claims major boost for perovskite solar cell efficiency
it's real support from actual racists
Can’t quite put my finger on why, but somehow the actual doodle makes it so much worse and more disgusting.
Ok hear me out. Normally this would be racist as fuck, but in the current circumstance: what if tens of thousands of White Los Angelinos put on brownface makeup, wear Latinx styles, and speak Spanish whenever they go out?
Spoken like a man found liable for sexual abuse.
Wikipedia says the phrase "Your papers, please" is "a cultural metaphor for life in a police state." It's what the U.S. Supreme Court endorsed today: arbitrary stops of people without probable cause.
EUxit or EU-turn? A new, improvised, amorphous Europe is emerging, one without structures, rules, checks and balances, while the EU as a constitutional framework is becoming an empty shell. #SOTEU should usher in a new era of integration. My thoughts: sophieintveld.substack.com/p/euxit-or-e...
Ain't that true? 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏾

If writing one bad check a decade ago is “moral turpitude” then I have some deeply troubling news about the President of the United States
Well timed, though good luck rather than good management. We need to end reliance on the US in all respects, including defence, digital sovereignty and central role of US dollar #auspol
Ik vind verkiezingstijd altijd het vervelendste onderdeel van onze democratie. Politici doen uitspraken en beloften die ze niet kunnen waarmaken en zijn constant alleen maar kinderachtig bezig wie het met wie gaat doen. Alle talkshows en nieuwsprogramma's doen eraan mee, ten koste van echt nieuws.
Musch en Buat beide gelezen. Vaderlandse geschiedenis met heel veel nieuwe inzichten, althans voor mij. Geweldig mooi geschreven. Erg benieuwd naar deel drie.
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP
Is Donald Trump trying to start a recession?
I think that this is indeed the plan from the side of the federal forces w.r.t. Chicago. (Jesus that sentence sounds crazy when I read it back...) #Chicago
🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA: Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today. I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.
But at that point, no one will remember the before times. They will feel that having over a million people in ICE detention is normal. They'll believe that the large number of Hispanic people in ICE detention must be evidence that Hispanic migrants are clearly the most violent and dangerous.
BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
🧵🧵🧵 Two decades ago, writer Laurence Britt listed 14 defining characteristics of fascism. In this thread, I match them up with actions of Trump and his regime. Spoiler alert: MAGA is 14-for-14. 1. Powerful and continuing nationalism
Regurgitating Nazi memorabilia. Villainizing immigrants and the LGBTQ community. Installing concentration camps. What’s next? Gas chambers?
The tennis establishment has instructed broadcasters not to highlight any negative reactions to Trump’s planned appearance at the U.S. Open men’s final on Sunday. Crushing dissent requires a lot of collaborators.
This is insane. This is a real social media post in which the president of the United States declares war on a great American city. Get active now, while you can. Help us rescue our country from a fascist dictatorship.
This is not a Christian nation. This is a nation where we are free to practice religion, or not, on our own terms. Not one faith ranks higher than another. And as our government should keep its paws out of churches, so, too, should churches keep their paws out of government.
Hallo @nu.nl gaat het nog een beetje? Sinds wanneer is het handhaven van de wet “Trump tarten”?

What if every person who understands the nightmare that’s unfolding contacted a friend or relative and made them aware that we’re descending into a dictatorship? Most of America is sleepwalking into this disaster. The media isn’t doing nearly enough to warn them. Tell your family and friends.

Joanne Rowling has never "stood up for women". She has ONLY spoken against trans people. She never mentions the women of Gaza. She never mentions women's reproductive rights. She regularly mocks cis women to her 14million followers. She HATES women.
Across Europe, when centrist parties have adopted far right themes and sought to appease far right voters, they go down in flames. Why? Because: 1. They alienate their own base. 2. They tell other voters that the far right is correct. The determination not to learn this lesson is a wonder to behold.

Google won’t be forced to sell its Chrome browser and can keep paying companies to keep its search engine as the default on smartphones, thanks to a federal ruling. In other words? Google gets to remain a monopoly and keep its harmful, anti-competitive practices. Shameful.
🚨BOOM!!! Pritzker listed the successful crime reduction programs and called out the GOP lAw aNd oRdEr bullshit. "Trump & his GOP allies in Congress cut those programs because they're unserious people who seem to know nothing about fighting crime." Every American Must See This.

Nigel Farage just repeatedly denied – under oath! – to @raskin.house.gov ever banning journalists he doesn’t like from his party’s conventions. This happened to me *literally today*.
It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.
Farage tells Congress that the Trump admin should "debate" the UK govt over the Online Safety Act's impact on "American individuals". So Farage, who wants to be UK prime minister, is advising another country's govt to act against our own for the apparent interests of their citizens, not our own.
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
I grew up in the ’60s and ’70s as a proud American, feeling sorry for people in the Soviet Union forced to live under a system of crushing corruption and cruelty. We’re those people now.
If you have previous for threatening trans people and allies online and in person and you post to hundreds of thousands of followers that they should physically attack trans women (or get a man to do it) that's a crime. Now, tell me what you think of Palestine Action supporters being arrested.
EU laws are cute, as long as we don't try to enforce them against American corporations. Given US dominance in tech and this level of clarity, the silver lining here is that the EU and the member states can fire thousands of lawyers and close entire institutions. No point, is there?

Dear God! Linehan was NOT arrested for “gender critical” tweets, or tweets about “trans issues”! He was arrested for tweets calling on people to violently attack trans people in public bathrooms, or (cos he’s a feminist 🙄) if the police won’t help to find the nearest “big strapping bloke” to do it
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Sure. Trust the former heroine addict who had a brain worm eat what was still left in there.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
In the United Kingdom, there's neither freedom of speech nor freedom of assembly for dissidents who oppose the government's continued support for a country that commits genocide.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.

The phrase "legitimate concerns" needs to be deprecated. If it is only to be understood as encoding a certain meaning then that meaning should be stated in full rather than hiding behind a seemingly neutral and reasonable phrase. If the meaning is unacceptable then the "legitimate concerns" are too

‘Buat’ speelt zich af rond 1666, als we in oorlog zijn met Engeland. De heer van Buat, de hoofdverteller, schoonzoon van Musch, is betrokken bij een spionageverhaal zonder dat hij het begrijpt. Dat maakt zijn verhaal soms pijnlijk. Het leidt tot de grootste overwinning van Johan de Witt in 1667
In ‘Musch’ wordt het verhaal verteld van de orangistische staatsgreep van 1650. De belangrijkste verteller is Cornelis Musch, de corrupte griffier die het brein erachter was. Omdat hij doortrapt is is zijn verhaal lekker smeuiig. Uiteindelijk leidt de staatsgreep tot de opkomst van Johan de Witt
“First I come with my film, then maybe you will come,” Sokurov once told Putin. His film now plays in Venice while the Russian flag flies—Ukrainian officials demand the festival cut ties.
The other close friend was Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller sets US immigration policy. Richard Spencer, the man giving the Nazi salutes, invented the term "the alt-right." The *only* purpose the alt-right exists, is to turn the US into a white ethnostate through ethnic cleansing. No other reason.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

If the shooter hadn't been trans, the shooting would still have happened because they were internet poisoned and unhinged and had a gun. If the shooter was the exact same, but no gun, THERE WOULD BE NO SHOOTING. THE GUN IS THE PROBLEM.
