We are now reporting more on Trump’s insults or false announcements on social media than on the complete strategic failure this war represents.
Trump isn’t going crazy. He is following his usual playbook. Divert attention, and the media falls for it again.
I Am Not A Number. In memory of the more than 72,000 Palestinians killed in Israel's genocide. Behind each name is a life violently cut short.

All diese Headlines, die darauf hinweisen, dass das neue israelische Gesetz auf den „Terrorismus“-Vorwurf zielt, sind insofern irreführend als der springende Punkt die ethnische Herkunft ist. Jüdisch-israelische Siedler, die schwere Gewalttaten begehen, sind ausgenommen.
Volkswagen is in talks with Israel’s Iron Dome maker over a deal that would switch production at one of their factories from cars to missile defense, per FT.
The German government is actively supporting the proposal. 🙈🙉🙊
Don’t miss in Europe this month!
"The West" didn't just look away when the #genocide in #Gaza was at its height, it actively supported the slaughter.
I suspect that we'll just watch the genocide that is beginning to unfold in #Lebanon - but we certainly won't stop Israel's terror regime from executing its ethnic cleansing plans.
Ah super! Would love to hear your thoughts when you get to it :)
David de Jong speaks about this at length as well in 'Nazi Billionaires', can highly recommend it.
In last US election, wealthiest 100 Americans’ donations went 80% to Trump’s Republicans. Reading Tim Wu on Curse of Bigness and German monopoly industrialists propping up Hitler at a crucial time and really wishing US billionaires were less self-interested and more fearful of history.
Warum ist eigentlich alles so lächerlich albern?
Les 15 & 22 mars 2026, on vote pour le Nouveau Paris Populaire 🚀
Professur auf Lebenszeit: Jackpot? Tollster Job der Welt? Erlösung? Entschädigung für alle Entbehrungen? Schlüssel zum Lebensglück? Nö — sehe ich anders. Mein Blick aufs #ProfessurHaben hat sich verändert: Ich will keine mehr. Plädoyer für Realismus & Eingestehen eigener Wünsche! ⬇️ #ArbeitInDerWiss
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Meldung des STANDARD: "Sturm der Kritik: ICE nimmt Fünfjährigen in Gewahrsam" - Foto von dem 5 Jahre alten Kind, das verängstigt schaut
Da gerade (zu Recht) viel Empörung zu lesen ist über die Festname des 5-Jährigen in den USA, ein kleiner Reminder:
Letztes Jahr haben deutsche Polizisten ein 10-jähriges syrisches Mädchen aus ihrer Schule gezogen, um sie abzuschieben.
Mit ihr wurden 2025 über 3000 Minderjährige aus 🇩🇪 abgeschoben.
Return Hub klingt direkt viel moderner als "Konzentrationslager" oder "Gulag".
Nothing to see here - just Germany’s interior minister visiting a wanted war criminal, while a genocide unfolds under his watch.
Letter from the University and College Union (UCU), dated 8 January 2026, from general secretary Dr Jo Grady to the UK foreign secretary. The letter condemns Israeli military attacks on Palestinian education, including a raid on Birzeit University, calls these actions “scholasticide,” and urges the UK government to hold Israel to account through diplomatic, military and economic sanctions.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military invaded Birzeit University, attacking students with live ammunition.
Israel's scholasticide is a core part of its attempt to obliterate the collective life of the Palestinian people.
We have written to Yvette Cooper urging the British government to take action.
Und Deutschland sagt … nichts
TW via BTselem: filmed executions of Palestinians under occupation in Jenin – carried out by the very regime the support of which several “left wing” German journalists have built their laughable careers on
Viele der größten deutschen Unternehmerdynastien haben sich während der Nazi-Zeit immens bereichert. Warum sie von der Entnazifizierung verschont blieben und stattdessen noch reicher wurden, erklärt der Journalist und Autor David de Jong.
“Germany must support, not suppress, actions aiming to stop atrocity crimes and genocide,” the experts said. “No circumstances can justify unnecessary and excessive police violence or unjust criminalisation for exercising fundamental freedoms.”

You feel lost when trying to understand why #Macron seems to be using France as his toy? A short thread 🧵.
1. The short version: Macron IS using France like a toy, obsessed as he is with maintaining his own power. (For more ⤵️)
Tja.
Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.
Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.
⚒️ BREAKING: Italian Union Threatens ‘General Strike Without Notice’ if Flotilla Blocked
Italy’s Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) - the Rank-and-File Union - has announced a “permanent mobilization” in 100 squares across the country in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla...
Beyond the media's omission of migrants navigating a path to ILR paying thousands of £ for the NHS, visa fees, NI, etc., and of any opposing views, this to me is as clear a plan to strip dignity away from those who choose to build a life here as can be. And it's been given legitimacy.
Recognising Palestine is not a substitute for stopping the genocide.
When I was in the West Bank, No Other Land’s Basil Adra told the devastating truth.
Germany knew - every step of the way.
Each day, we learn of new horrors about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Yet nothing seems sufficient to compel Western governments to take meaningful action to end it. They are dragging us, alongside Israel, to a point of no return.
Now that it's reasonably clear that the far right podcaster was killed by a fellow fascist, maybe we can turn our attention to the incomparably larger number of political murders that are happening in Gaza with the support of EU and North American governments
