In der aktuellen Wehrpflicht-Debatte wird immer wieder gefordert, auch Frauen sollen an der Waffe »Verantwortung« für ihr Land übernehmen. Das wäre ein frauenpolitischer Rückschritt. jacobin.de/artikel/femini…

Do I need to list all the recent examples of GermanForeignOffice NOT protecting international law?

One of the many ways in which toxic, violent men hurt those around them is demanding their time and attention with their drama queen tantrums

🇩🇪 Germany, the country that gave the world pogroms, Kristallnacht, industrialized antisemitism, Auschwitz and countless SS in postwar ministries now claims it was “imported” 10 years ago. Imported from where exactly: Nuremberg? Wannsee? Remarkable what historical amnesia can do!

I think it is safe to say that Germany has been a leading net exporter of ant-Semitism since the 11th century Scapegoating others for ones own failures has been a major theme therein

Lobbyisten: „Man soll Arbeit nicht immer als etwas Negatives sehen. Wir brauchen mehr Bock auf Arbeit!“ Auch Lobbyisten 👇

Anti-regime opposition leader arrested for public protest. Masked members of paramilitary group linked to ruling clan believed to be behind arrest in an example of what scholars call 'legal dualism' - a repressive strategy of authoritarian states. In this essay...

I still have to meet one serious European diplomat who feels represented by the one-man-show diplomacy of many European leaders, who are contributing to level to the ground decades of human rights commitments & progress. BUT what does it take for them to unite and speak up?

If you look out at the current world in which corporations & billionaires control everything & the left has no power & yet you’re insisting the problem isn’t oligarchy, then it’s a good bet your whole life theory of career ascension is to placate oligarchs who pay speaking fees.

'from the rubble strewn streets of Bakhmut' -- if I were Ukrainian I'd say 'may the city you live in become such a trope'

I spent so much of my life reading human rights reports that these lines look like the furniture of my brain, and I know better than to be shocked that "this could happen here", but still: this has gone faster, to a worse point, than the supposed rogue autocracies I've worked on.

These are images you just don’t and shouldn’t see in a healthy democracy.

Ezra Klein is the millennials’ Thomas Friedman. I don’t know how the ruling classes scout these human vacuum tubes to unleash on us, but they do. We’re stuck with EK for the next 4 decades- well, you youngins are anyway.

When Georgian protestors hold American flags- they’re heroes but Mexican flags held by actual Mexicans during protests in US is somehow ABOMINABLE!

AMERICAN FLAGS OR NOTHING GUY!

LA, Gaza, Blatten, drone attacks on strategic bomber fleets, all the tropes of 90s apocalyptic dystopian movies in the space of a week

Yes on the nukes (caveat: all of post-1991 European history would have been different if Ukraine had gone rogue/nuclear, so expand your counterfactuals), no on the "Russia will invade a country just because it's not in NATO"

Is your activism the "let's schedule our next zoom call at 7pm, so everybody can get home from work?" or the "let's schedule our next zoom call so it's office hours in all time zones and no one is forced to work after hours"? Tiny detail, literal world of difference.

Stupendously idiotic stuff here from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

This particular horseshoe doesn't fit
