Germany’s AfD is so extreme it was kicked out of the far-right grouping in the European Parliament last month, but Elon Musk thinks their policies “don’t sound extremist.” That’s because he’s also a fascist.
Hello again, Myth Lovers! Join us for tomorrow's theme: Jewels and Riches. Write out a story about a myth that features jewels or riches and use the hashtag #MythologyMonday for boosts. See you tomorrow! 👑
"Almost four out of every 10 #journalists covering the #climate crisis and environment issues have been threatened as a result of their work, with 11% subjected to physical violence, according to groundbreaking new research.
Despite the breadth and magnitude of the problems, 39% of journalists surveyed reported having #SelfCensored – mostly due to fear of repercussions from “those undertaking illegal activities” or the government."
2024 is a mega election year and the EU elections are taking place this week. This is the 2nd largest election in the world - around 350 million people are eligible to vote.
Just like the elections in India and the USA this year - this one is very important for coexistence on our planet. Therefore, we want to use our reach and call on all those who are entitled to vote to make their voice heard.
We must not leave the EU to the far-right parties and must defend our democracies. Please vote.
Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.
There's a statistical lie that the US tells itself:
"Poor white people are more racist than rich white people!"
This is objectively, demonstrably, false. It's been shown over and over. But we still cling to it. We use lies like: "college educated white people are less likely to vote GOP!"
First of all there's not a 1:1 correlation between racism and GOP. Second, business owners are richer than employees, and most US business owners didn't go to college.
The most accurate indicator of Trump support, is racism. The 2nd most accurate, is sexism. Not "economic anxiety." The only anxiety that they have, is that Black people might have some money.
But most of the money in Silicon Valley, votes GOP.
Some of these VCs sit around in online chat rooms with alt-right reactionaries and real life nazis. Some of them hold little public meetings, where they talk about ending democracy and great replacement theory. Some of them write books on why diversity is bad, and should be avoided. Most of them cheer on Elon's anti-woke, fashy push.
Shout out to all the people just now learning that a US Sheriff, whose job is statistically safer than being a gardener, carpenter, or taxi driver, and that barely graduated high school, and whose job is mainly harassing and beating unarmed Black and Brown people... gets paid between 3X and 6X the salary of an active duty Navy Seal with 2 Masters degrees, on deployment in an active war zone.🙂🙃
6X. Not a typo.
Many of those sheriffs took time off of work to go act out at Jan 6. No SEALs did. 🤷🏿♂️
So the Black man that everyone was laughing at for dialing in to his court case from his car, while his license was suspended, is not so foolish. Racism has people laughing at its victims.
We'll see how many of the people that were laughing because they thought "Foolish criminal dials in from car, on suspended license case!🤣" have anything cute to say now. You know that none of them will.
It's just the regular anti-Black cruelty in the US criminal justice system.
Excellent news. Well done Mexico for electing your first woman Jewish president who’s also left-wing & a climate scientist. And probably a compliment that US mainstream media & politicians don’t like her. #Mexico Mexico elects Claudia Sheinbaum as first woman president https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp4475gwny1o
Nur BMW will nach 2035 noch Verbrenner verkaufen - unterstützt von Union und FDP. In diesem Zshg. weist SPIEGEL-Kolumnist @chrisstoecker auf folgende Geldflüsse hin:
Die BMW-Eigentümer-Familien Quandt/Klatten spendeten
👉 3,7 Mio. € an die #CDU
👉 1,3 Mio. € an die #FDP 🧵
Many have pointed out that Trump did not choose the defense that stood the best chance of working: "Some of this happened, but the way that it happened was not technically illegal." opting rather for the near impossible "Nothing they say is true, it's all lies. I'm innocent."
This is only a confusing choice if you miss the real way that Trump himself views this case. It's not illegitimate because he "didn't do it" it's illegitimate because he's too important of a person to be charged. 1/
"Cara" removes the AI content, and applies "Glaze" to our jobs. It does not contain advertising or paid profiles. Besides that, it is a place designed for artists.
It would be great if they also joined the #Fediverse ✨✨✨
100 years ago #OnThisDay, 3 Jun 1924, Alfonsina Strada crosses the finish line of the Giro d'Italia. She remains the only woman to have officially ridden in a Grand Tour.
At one point she had been disqualified on time grounds but was allowed to continue without the option of prizes. She finished ahead of the lantern rouge (the last cyclist to finish).
Trump caught on Tape using the N-word against a black man and we have black people in America supporting him, they are not disgusted about it or pissed off about it, No. they have emboldened Trump more, The Civil Rights movement fought against Everything Trump is.
