Erinnern wir uns an Jens Spahn: "Können wir bitte aufhören eine demokratisch gewählte Regierung in den USA eine autoritäre zu nennen?"

Rund ein Jahr her. Das Ergebnis sieht wie folgt aus.

Was ist denn ein Backsliding score?
Irgendwas wird da weniger. Aber was?
in reply to Amygdala

@Amygdala
Aus dem Kontext (bereits geslidete Länder) geschlossen: Da sliden Demokratie und Freiheit(en)

Wenn du einen Link zur offiziellen Erklärung und zur Methodik findest - das würde mich auch interessieren.

Tenants across #Minneapolis and #SaintPaul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another. (More Perfect Union) #1u




If they do it amongst themselves (they consider themleves "the superior race"), of course they'll do it to Palestinians.

La ville de la bande dessinée aborde les élections municipales dans le contexte explosif de l’annulation de son événement phare.

Une catastrophe économique et culturelle, qui pourrait coûter cher au maire Horizons. Mais ici comme ailleurs, la gauche part en ordre dispersé. Et nombre d’habitants ont d’autres soucis en tête. mediapart.fr/journal/france/01…

in reply to Mediapart

L'éclatement de la Gauche, un peu partout, signe d'avance la défaite. Il est aux antipodes de la volonté des électeurs. Quand la Gauche les écoutera-t-elle ? Combien de défaites lui faudra-t-il ?


Moscou

Les internautes ont surnommé « paramoune » le phénomène observé cette nuit au-dessus de Moscou. Il s'agit d'une illusion d'optique dans laquelle apparaissent plusieurs disques lunaires , qui se produit lorsque la lumière de la Lune est réfractée par des cristaux de glace plats situés en haute altitude dans l'atmosphère.



Why are private equity investors buying up fostering agencies & homes in England?

Well, if you think its because they have a better idea of how to support & enhance the well-being of vulnerable your people, you're an incurable optimist.

What the PE firms see is a sector where fee income can be increased easily & money siphoned out of the system to feed investors' 'need' for returns.

Once again we are seeing profiteering on the backs of the vulnerable!

I think pensions schemes are more diversified than that... but it *is* a danger more widely

You can't maximise the extraction of value with politeness 🙄 Winning is winning.

80 years of soft power projection, normalising misanthropy. The scales are off a lot of eyes.

@adavid

You know, I've worked closely with USN, and there's different cultures south of the border. In some ways, Maine is similar to our local culture, except all the Magaheads living in the rural areas, but they may even have picked up the *polite* bug but theirs may be out of common sense to attract visitors. Raising tariffs and threatening annexing doesn't sound polite and we mirror that back

Thought for the day: Why do organic farmers have to be the ones who label their products as organically grown? Why isn’t it the other way around? Why doesn’t legislation require non-organic products to carry a label saying “grown with chemicals”?
in reply to Michael

I agree. If processed food is required to show these things on labels for health information then so should unprocessed foods grown with chemicals.


Spannend en ook een feestelijk moment! Na twee jaar alleen met m'n afstudeerbegeleidster gewerkt te hebben, stuurde ik net het eerste deel van m'n manuscript naar m'n twee lieve en slimme meelezers voor commentaar. De eerste drie essays van de zeven. Heel benieuwd wat zij met hun frisse blik gaan zeggen (kan ik daarna weer aan de slag ;~) )

Dr. Anna Latour reshared this.




Currently in the shop I’ve got 5 people attending a writing workshop, 2 people who found the place due to my links with the local City of Sanctuary and a guy who comes in to read quietly. Later I’ll have the local LGBT+ org members dropping in.

This is what I want on my Saturdays. Inclusion and community.
