@MatWright I wish @AuswaertigesAmt / @GermanyDiplo@social.bund.de was halfway as active in the #Fediverse as on #Shitter.

Personally, I think like @antidiskriminierung they should announce their move over to #Mastodon citing the continous #Disinformation and #Hatespeech campaigns that they don't want to legitimize by presence in the "Digital #NaziBar" given #Musk's obvious gestures in meatspace and his platforming of #facist, #antisemitic and #racist hatespeech.

But I guess that assumes @Bundesregierung does actually care about #FreeAndDemocracticOrder and #Germany's #Condtitution as well as #values!

A quotation from Thoreau

The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable, — of a bad one, to make it less valuable. We can afford that railroad, and all merely material stock, should lose some of its value, for that only compels us to live more simply and economically; but suppose that the value of life itself should be diminished!

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, Massachusetts

It is good that Doug Emhoff was fired from the Holocaust Museum board because he failed to do his job. The Holocaust Museum denounces a genocide that happened in the 1940s, but Doug Emhoff was and is immorally silent about the genocide that has happened for more than one year in Gaza.

"Promotion of American First Amendment values has played a valuable part of U.S. public and cultural diplomacy in winning friends and supporting democracy globally."

But Trump ended this because Putin wanted it stopped and Trump is #PutinsPuppet.

"Now we need to work more than ever at home and abroad to preserve freedom of the press and all the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment rights." This article explains why:

The caretaker #PM appearing on the #HateMedia (ABC Press club as defined by 🥔🤓), something I can’t remember #PeterDutton doing or being capable of.

“Through everything the world has thrown at #Australia over the last three years, for all the #challenges our #nation has faced, our #government has held true to those enduring Australian #values of #fairness, #aspiration and #opportunity.

It has been less than three years since Australians voted out the #ScottMorrison (ex PM & Minister for Health, Finance, Treasury, Immigration and Holidays) government. My #colleagues and I know there is more work to do. That is what #drives us.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

Half the battle is attendance. ⚔️

Not a bad summary, nothing on environment, trade or defence… but there is #Policy to back this up. No mention of working with Independents, Greens to achieve these aims.

“I don’t want there to be any concerns about this, and in the interests of full transparency, I’ve contacted the #AEC and the Department of Parliamentary Services and given them the details that I gave to #TheAge yesterday about my #relationship with those #volunteers and with Mr #JiJianmin I’ve said, look, if you’ve got any concerns, please investigate.”

“[They’re] people who attended a dinner where a community leader [JiJianmin] said that he supported me and he supported my #values, and thought that I’ve been very #supportive of the community in recent years, and for that reason he thought people should #Support me now. I’m grateful for the support the Chinese Australians have given me in the last three years.”

I’ve got the nod from the #CCP.

7.5: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Four Great Things We Take for Granted and Ought to Fight to Keep

In these dark times of (American) political backsliding/the general rise of fascism in the Global North, Ariel and Christina consider four things that we'd made great progress on, to the point of taking those achievements for granted. Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?

PS: We definitely didn't plan on this coming out on the day of the Canadian federal election, but so it goes. Go forth and fight the fascists at the ballot box, friends.

From the outset, #American #mediation in the #Russian - #Ukrainian #war was conceived as a pretext to withdraw and give #Putin free rein. #Europe can expect absolutely nothing from the #Trump administration, which only understands the language of power relations, not that of #values .
