@randahl Hmmm, I think it also is a way of shutting out ideas, worldviews and criticism.

@Jigsaw_You because it is not about freeing up time for workers, but about maximizing profit

@soop @EUCommission Well at least it is not an AI generated picture of a politician presenting as a pope, king, superhero - so I take video games.

@randahl It is a very detailed report and undeniable.

A riddle for today: #defunding public media,baring journalists from #government buildings,#banning #queer people&expression,#banning #abortions ,setting up #concentration camps,giving more money to the rich,allying with #dictatorships ,purging #scientific research&tought, threatening neighbouring countries with #annexation, defending #nazis in #Germany, organising a huge #military parade in the capital on the birthday of their #leader - if it is not #Russia which country is it?

“We are over the shock of the #American betrayal, but we should never forget the #lessons As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our #country.
These are not #idle threats. President #Trump is trying to break us so #America can own us.
That will #never … ever happen. But we also must recognise the #reality that our #world has #fundamentally #changed.”

@randahl The prerequisite for surveillance by the BfV is the existence of actual evidence - they issued a more than 1000 pages long report https://netzpolitik.org/2025/verdachtsfall-rechtsextremismus-wir-veroeffentlichen-das-1-000-seitige-verfassungsschutz-gutachten-zur-afd/#2021-02-22_BfV_AfD_Folgegutachten The report has news clippings and quotes from party leaders-so Trumpy functionaries should understand that some people work with evidence based conclusions, not outright lies like they do.

Now that Trump suddenly claims, Crimea should belong to Russia, it is helpful to recall which US administration declared that Crimea would forever belong to Ukraine in 2018.

Here, fixed it for you: ‘I dont care about #Russian strikes on #Kyiv.Not necessary, and very bad timing-they did not sign over all their resources to us yet. Vladimir, STOP-we promised to share. You can do then with #Europe whatever the hell you want, as I said in February 2024. Lets pretend and lie a bit longer and divide the loot!’ Your Arancio Confidante
#Ukraine #EU #Putin #Trump #dictatorship

Maybe we should just build a platform in the middle of the Atlantic and give Arancio Duce and Oтец a platform for #love and they can do there whatever the hell they want there-and yeah we had #genocidal landgrabs in #Europe in 1990s, so this time ‘dear’ gentleman we say a big fat NO to that crap. #SlavaUkraini #Slavayednisti #SlavaEuropi
#Trump #Putin #dictators

@cavyherd @breadandcircuses our personal decisions matter, small acts of rebellion give fruit to a revolution eventually - the sad part is that we need to live through the destructive swan song of the macho world in order to get to the other side.

@ukraine well to be honest Papua New Guinea would be a better mediator than them.

@breadandcircuses I remember learning about this in school several decades ago-DECADES-and yet here we are.

@bearslayer Yes, I really think that we all have to unite now and stand our ground against #USA and #Russia

I love math :fatpikachu:
#Tesla sales drop :badabing: compared Q1 2024 with Q1 2025 :bongoCat:
#Germany nosedived 62.2%
#France down 41.1%
#Belgium fell 58.2%
#Netherlands declined 49.7%
#Sweden slided 55.3%
#Denmark plummeted 56.5%
#Switzerland plunged 62.1%
#Austria dipped 48.0%
#Finland sank 46.9%
#Chins tumbled 21.8% (31.6% decrease between Q424/Q125)
Tesla’s biggest non-#USA markets: #Europe and China. It seems that people do not like #swasticars or #nazis after all. :blobwizard:

@cruiser @randahl No, this is not only a spending cut.It’s a part of a broader campaign against #LGBTQ people. It started with the crusade against #transgender people and who goes to which toilet, continued with banning #drag - and the majority was silent along the way.Imagine, it seems that once you normalise erroding human rights on a group by group basis, it’s a slippery slope into #eugenics #dictatorship and all other ‘beautiful’ things.

@aho maybe it’s time to ‘annex’ the Kerch Bridge.

@mikegalsworthy Yeah, imagine how they will argue the benefit of it, when the actions of Arancia Duce start having #Brexit like effects around #EU ohhh wait someone mentioned #tarriffs and ditching #NATO :blobpeek:

@brucelawson How surprising that after one minority lost their human rights, they immediately shifted their focus on the next marginalised group. #Fascist are what they are, no point hiding behind the curtain of #terf anymore.

@HampshireKarin@mastodonapp.uk @HarriettMB Enlighten me, in which case does a person need to disclose the previous state of their genitals to a wider audience or expose them in front of a group setting? In my mind only artistic ‘gym’ videos come to mind, but maybe you have some hard examples where in a social setting people are required to do so.
