Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step (The Guardian)
The country’s so-called political centre has licensed a new era of authoritarianism – to the AfD’s delight.
Germany can choose to uphold the principles it claims to stand for, or continue down a path of authoritarianism.

A Wikipedia vem sendo conquistada pela extrema-direita já há algum tempo. Pouco a pouco, vários editores vem ganhando poder na ferramenta. Com este poder, eles conseguem criar e manter pérolas como esta:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censura_no_X
Por exemplo, marcam como censura o bloqueio de posts anti-semitas na França.
#antisemitismo
Como a edição é livre, se alguma pessoa entra para contestar que não se trata de censura, editores com poder de veto entram e desfazem (silenciam) quem discorda da narrativa criada por eles.
Não existe um canal onde se possa reclamar da moderação feita por estes editores. Se você pede uma moderação externa, quem vem moderar? Um editor alinhado com a extrema-direita. Se você insiste, eles tem poder de bloquear o usuário.
Percebe-se que alguns editores dispendem horas demais na ferramenta, ganhando assim "prestígio" em função do número de edições realizadas.
Não é normal um usuário ocupar de 8 a 10h por dia fazendo edições sem ser remunerado. A não ser que ele esteja sendo remunerado por alguém. Fica a dica...
A few days ago, Manés Weisskircher and Manuela Beyer published their first joint study as part of the #REXKLIMA group.

Hat tip to this Brazilian judge, with the ethical clarity required to stand up to Elon Musk's disinformation machine.
"Alexandre de Moraes, the influential supreme court judge responsible for the ban, had been spearheading an attempt to force X to purge anti-democratic, far-right voices in the wake of the January 2023 uprising in the capital, Brasília, carried out by supporters of the former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro."

Exposing the Real UK Race Riot Instigators: The Key Players and Transatlantic Network Around Tommy Robinson
"One of Robinson’s financial supporters is an American multi-millionaire Trump ally, Patrick Michael Byrne, who encouraged Trump to overturn the 2020 Election, spoke at the January 6 rally, and maintains ties with a Russian intelligence agent sanctioned by the West for promoting disinformation about the invasion of Ukraine."
Remember in 2020 when MAGA hordes were trying to overthrow a democratically elected government Twitter suspended Trump's account. Now, Elon Musk owns X, as Twitter is now known, and not only has he restored Trump's account, he has played a role in fermenting far-right riots in the UK after the electorate dared vote in a Labour govt. I think the US govt should be preparing to block Twitter in an emergency situation.

Sharon Graham:
“It wasn’t the migrant who crashed our financial system in 2008. It was not the migrant who imposed austerity.”
“We need change now. Not waffle about responsible spending or fiscal rules.
“None of this talks to the worker or their community. It just plays into the hands of those that seek division.
“#Labour has one shot. If they fail to deliver, the populist right will emerge ever stronger.”

Here's a thought, if a bunch of climate protestors climbing on a motorway gantry and sitting in roads or spraying orange paint on things get 5 years in jail.
How long do you think far right protestors will get for setting fire to dozens of properties, seriously injuring police and possibly attempting murder?
Guesses and comments below.
400 arrested.
How many do you think will be arrested by Sunday midnight?
Pick one nearest to your guess.
