#Decency
@hanse_mina - this shows the true identity of the American culture. They think that with preparing their own legislature, they can 'lawfully' do what they please under other nations laws. This shows an ingrown bully culture with no precedence.
Americans need to regain, reinvent and redesign former virtues like #decency, #humility, #respect and #accountablility. This should be the people pledge to enforce, not only in the future political system but also in bringing up their youngsters.
I love this idea.

With this in mind how are EU institutions and European governments still using Xwitter as their official information channels?
What is wrong with you(EU), do you have no sense of decency? 😒

The power to #pardon is a vestige of America’s pre-independence past. It is an unchecked monarchical power, an awesome power, & therefore it should be bestowed only on leaders blessed with self-restraint, civic-mindedness, &, most important, basic #decency.
We have been watching #indecency triumph in the public sphere on & off for more than 10 years now, since the moment #Trump insulted John McCain’s war record.

Unfortunately, human decency threatens the profits of big tech companies. As such, it has to be abolished. After all, what are a few million faked nudes, if it allows xAI to become profitable?

How is it possible that the public discourse has shifted so much towards #racism, #exclusion, #division, and #intolerance? Where have #empathy, #decency, #tolerance, and #acceptance gone? Individuals are defined by their actions and by nothing else.

"Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it."
Pablo Casals
We ought to beware of people who do not think it necessary to pretend that they are good and decent. Lack of hypocrisy in such things hints at a capacity for a most depraved ruthlessness.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 200 (1955)

"(Gov. Gavin) Newsom leads backlash to Trump’s unhinged response to Reiner killings ... Trump faced swift backlash Monday after he used the killing of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, to make an unfounded political claim linking the deaths to criticism of him":

We all knew that #Trump is a shameless #narcissist and a #conman who does not know the concept of #empathy.
But linking the murder of movie director #RobReiner to his dislike for the orange megalomaniac is extremely unfitting and tasteless even for this wrecking ball of #decency.
Trump does not deserve any respect. He needs to be treated as the utter #sociopath he is - and yes: #resist, folks!
Apart from that, Jack White has said it all. #UnitedStates

Let’s hope.

Jon Favreau: "Is Donald Trump's reaction to Rob Reiner's murder all that surprising?
Trump’s 3 basic reactions to death are":
1) People with different politics: "It's their fault for not liking Trump."
2) People with unclear politics: "Oh, well, bad things happen, what a shame."
3) People with his politics: "What a tragedy, this is why the left is evil."

🧵 #GoodNews The news is some months old but I missed it: When the Times Magazine published its famous list of The 100 Most Influential People in 2025, #RobinWallKimmerer was among them! "During a time of tremendous #environmental fear and uncertainty, we have found, to our immeasurable relief, our master teacher." https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2025/7273748/robin-wall-kimmerer/
A relief for me that persons of such an #integrity and #decency influence our world. Despite being quiet they make an impact.
#Mastodon #News When i arrived here the 1st user i followed was @georgetakei
He is always present and very active and a beacon of #Humanity and #Decency in the mad #World we live in, where empathy and human values are considered, sadly by many, as secondary.
The second one i tried to follow was #RobReiner and i had to deal with the fact that he was never active here.
Still i remember his posts on #Twitter; his late father ones as well.
Both #Humanists just for their empathy towards the less favored.
#RIP #RobReiner #Democracy lost a warrior, History won a Hero.
"There is no universal agreement regarding precisely which norms are jus cogens nor how a norm reaches that status, but it is generally accepted that jus cogens bans genocide, maritime piracy, enslaving in general (i.e. slavery as well as slave trade), wars of aggression and territorial aggrandizement, and generally as well torture, and refoulement."
