Ich glaub, ich bin auf die Erklärung gekommen, warum immer noch Leute auf #X sind.
Sie fühlen sich als Helden, wenn sie dann hier auf #Mastodon erzählen können, wie schlimm gehated sie auf X werden.
Verschafft ihnen das einen Vorsprung, bewundern wir sie dafür dass sie sich dem aussetzen?
Nein, sie brauchen nix zu verteidigen, wo es nix mehr zu verteidigen gibt. Kommt einfach rüber und widmet euch den realen Dingen
Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the #Manhattan borough president, said on Tuesday, “The meanspiritedness of the #Trump administration seems to know no bounds. But we as a community are not going to take it standing by idly as our #history, & by extension our #HumanRights, are attempted to be erased.”
The original #Pride flag debuted in 1978, according to the Park Service website, with each of the 8 colors symbolizing an aspect of the #LGBTQ community’s experience.
In 2016, President Barack #Obama designated the 7.7-acre site a national monument, encompassing the #Stonewall Inn, Christopher Park & several nearby streets & sidewalks. Parts of the site are also designated as a city landmark & a state historical site.
“Government institutions have not always been reliable narrators of #history, & that isn’t an accusation, it’s a historical fact,” she said. “The concern isn’t about the symbolism of the flag necessarily; it’s about what decisions are being made when the narrative isn’t controlled by the people who have lived that history.”
On Tuesday, Mayor #ZohranMamdani said he was “outraged” by the flag’s removal.
In response to questions about the flag’s removal, the National Park Service on Tuesday pointed to that memo, saying in a statement that “only the U.S. flag & other congressionally or departmentally authorized flags are flown on N.P.S.-managed flagpoles, with limited exceptions.”
More than 100 people rallied outside the #Stonewall Inn late Tuesday afternoon to protest the flag’s removal.
The flag’s removal came weeks after the Dept of the Interior issued federal guidance on displaying “non-agency” flags in the National Park System, which includes a small park in front of the #Stonewall Inn, the bar for which the federal monument is named.
Elected officials & bar employees said they realized the rainbow flag was gone on Monday morning. On Tuesday, a bare flagpole stood on the monument’s grounds as steely clouds hung overhead.
#Pride Flag Is Removed From #Stonewall Monument After #Trump Directive
The removal of the flag from the #Manhattan monument, the symbolic heart of the #GayRights movement, came after a Trump admin memo, the latest step in the Trump admin’s nationwide assault on diversity initiatives & the second time in less than a year it has targeted the Greenwich Village site.

Hello, silly you! 😘
It's been a few days I wanted to exhume an old band from the 80s: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲. Ordinarily, I'm more joyful like their title "𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘴" or their collaboration with Tom Jones with the cover of the song "𝘒𝘪𝘴𝘴" by Prince. But we're at the beginning of a dark era and their title "𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴" is awfully more accurate now.
Here's a translated copy & paste of what I found on the french version of songtell, an A.I. written post that is strangely missing in its english version:
The song "Instruments of Darkness" by The Art of Noise recounts the story of a government that upholds law and order, yet equally engages in acts of violence against its own people. The urgency of the song is expressed through a strong language and the repetition of the phrase "never never never," because oppressive actions by the government should not be tolerated. The song is a stark reminder of the harsh reality of oppression and a call for justice for those who suffer. The phrase "Your agony must endure forever" is a powerful cry for justice, serving as a warning that it is a long-term fight against violence and injustice. "Instruments of Darkness" is a song that ends with a call to action, inspiring people to work together to create a better future.
Originally, this title was created to protest against apartheid in South Africa. Doesn't it sound familiarly eventual?
And I discovered another video about this title made with video archives of the WW2. I will post it in the comments of this post.
Note: "Art of This" is a reformation of the original band.
Explication (en anglais 🇬🇧) sur l'origine du titre "𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴" des 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦. Affreusement d'actualité.

…In his letter to other #governors, Stitt encouraged the group to unite around common goals.
“We cannot allow one divisive action to achieve its goal of dividing us,” he wrote. “The solution is not to respond in kind, but to rise above & to remain focused on our shared duty to the people we serve. America’s governors have always been models of pragmatic leadership, & that example is most important when Washington grows distracted by politics.”
The #governors’ group, which is scheduled to meet from Feb. 19-21, is one of the few remaining venues where political leaders from both major parties gather to discuss the top issues facing their communities. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that #Trump has “discretion to invite anyone he wants to the White House.”
