Horrified German interpreter & translator and lover of democracy watching the US sleepwalk into an autocracy if there is no serious resistance and debunking of myths. These past few years have been a steep learning curve. Let us keep learning together!

Projection. The right tried to steal it and failed the first time.
Yeah, just like Ashli Babbett being dubbed a "martyr" and her grifting family awarded 5 million (they had wanted 30 million!) for storming the Capitol, whereas the is not even a plaque commemorating the security officers who bravely did their job and defended the building and our democracy!
Well, yeah. But still...
Sure guns are a symptom of what is outlined in the article (interesting thoughts) . Still there was a HUGE drop in gun-induced homocides in times of strict gun laws! I think that every single child who gets spared from being killed or injured or in a school shooting is so much worth the try.

"doesn't", of course 😑
But since JD does even remotely appeal to the majority of the MAGA base, the regime would be struggling. And with Mike The Weasel Johnson as VP? Nope.
It should be noted that as electricity prices rise, it makes it harder to manufacture in America. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
They still believe in the myth.

"But it’s not just the individual threats that weigh on us. It’s the sheer volume. The autocrat’s playbook isn’t just about single acts of repression; it’s about creating a dozen crises at once. This is not incompetence; it is a strategy," explains tonight's guest @ianbassin.bsky.social

Unhinged.
Exclusive Report: Shipments of engines, cylinders, pistons, and electronics are pouring from China into Alabuga, fueling Russia’s Shahed production. Frontelligence Insight analyzed export data, closed reports, and open sources, revealing the scale of support. 🧵Thread:
The audacity! 😠 European politicians would do well not to bow or respond to these attempts of political and economic blackmail, meant to bend European rules to U.S. interests.
Sick...

Mad respect to the neighbor taking care of that!

Ah, thank you for clarifying 👌🏻

As far as I know, the right to bear arms was meant to protect We, the People, from the overreach of tyrants such as the big nasty orange wrecking ball!
😁
Cynical...
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Feeding the ducks is strongly discouraged here in Germany, too, but it is great to know that there are items you CAN feed to them! Although they sound like you can only feed them when the ducks have come to the shore (too heavy to float). And (dry?) peas? No choking hazard?
...
It’s the guns!
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank

Revolting!
😅🤔
This is the worst kind of dystopian plot line. I am so disgusted at the evil we are expected to swallow like it’s some kind of normal international transactional diplomacy. They are making development plans for Gaza because the Palestinians will have been disposed of. In plain view.
The grift and criminality are beyond anything imaginable!
🚨 Yesterday, Arlington, TX (heart of the DFW metropolitan area) had an AMAZING turnout for their ICE recruitment event. ✊🏼

The resistance is alive and well in the vibrant, peaceful, dynamic, multicultural urban oasis of Washington D.C. 🫶🏾✌🏽
The Bear Gulch fire is the largest active blaze in #Washington State. ICE descended on the firefighter crew to demand ID and subsequently arrested two firefighters. The firefighters are risking their lives yet are being treated like criminals. Insanity. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I recently spoke with our inaugural MBK Alliance Ambassadors – a group of talented, inspiring young leaders from across the country who are working to give back to their communities. I’m looking forward to following their progress and having them back as alumni to share what they’ve learned.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
A brilliant take of Rachel Maddow. Very much worth watching.

So sorry you had to face this horrible tragedy!
And wow. I had not been aware of that.
Mobster rule. How can anyone normalize this sickening amount of overreach and extortion? 😡
A little timeline cleanse 😎
Even when I try the opposite interpretation: He very accurately has his hands in his pockets. He is not about to take any action to fight the fire, just posing for a photo op. Does this depiction inspire awe or trust in anyone? Hard to believe 🤔
Looks like he is walking away to find the next place on earth where he can wreak havoc after having burnt down the United States. Eeringly accurate.
Exactly my thought, too.

From which dark corners does the right get this cast of imbeciles from? Whenever you think nobody can be even more unhinged and outright crazy, they find another one 😏
Well, I can tell a lot of things by merely looking at that guy or hearing his voice 🙄
She caved. Yikes.
'...there has been no shortage of commentary about the way in which traditional media outlets have handled Reform UK, though “handled” may be too generous a word - “relentlessly amplified” is probably more accurate'. Well worth reading this piece...
Yikes. Those who want hate will still vote for the original! Very dangerous move.
Plus the number of refugees "flooding" the UK is ridiculously low compared to other European and non-European countries!
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Big money for those operating them 🤑

That's what you get if a president/"reality" tv actor thinks thinks everything is just about make-believe and theater,with no real consequences (apart from humiliating people and stuffing his own pockets). Let us send him packing!
Let's hope!
“I was flabbergasted when the administration said they had stopped it shutting down,” he said. “Why are they inserting themselves into a decision a company has made? Just because politically you don’t like it? It’s all so dumb.”
