@jd Ich habe nie verstanden, dass die Menschen in Israel, insb. die Orthodoxen, nicht sehen, dass sie mit ihrer Politik - #Siedlungspolitik, #Besatzung - sich ihre #Feinde geradezu heranzüchten und ihnen immer wieder neue Munition für deren #Hass liefern. Alleine, dass #Israel sich unter dem Schutz der #fckUSA praktisch alles erlauben konnte, macht mich schon unglaublich #wütend 🤬🤬🤬

@guentherludwig welll,,, a) I think people (in general) really don't mind terrible things as long as they or their identified group benefits. A sad analysis, I know
b) Zionism and Zionists have (since 1948) lived in a world of total impunity. No one ever tells them 'No.', especially the biggest bully in the world the #USA.

therefore, yes it creates new enemies but they know they and the whole project will always be protected. So why stop when you know this?

ICE spending surged 360%.

People need to look at what Massachusetts did back in 2023, they raised taxes by 2 percent on people making 1 million dollars or more. And the residents of the state voted on it. They have been reaping 3 billion dollars a year ever since just from this alone. And guess what? There wasn't this mass exodus of rich people from the state. If these wealthy people want to uproot their lives for a 2-4 percent increase, let them, but we have data showing taxing the rich makes everybody more money in the long run. This isn't the only study. You can actually find them *everywhere* but https://ips-dc.org/report-wealth-expands-after-higher-state-taxes-on-high-income-earners/

what is the #unvaccinated rate in your country?

@infobeautiful@vis.social We should stop quoting the vaccinated rate and start quoting the unvaccinated rate. As in, the proportion of children unvaccinated has nearly doubled*, from 5% to 8%! Shock horror alarm. *In journalistic terms it's sort of ok to describe 8 as nearly twice 5.

'“Donald Trump’s sentences make AOC look like the most eloquent woman in history.”

Mehdir Hasan pushes Piers Morgan to admit that Donald Trump is nuts, deranged, and mentally unfit for office.'

@jd Well that is certainly a misogynist load of crap from Mehdi. I'm disappointed. Trump makes anyone look eloquent. AOC actually is quite a good speaker, and puts to shame most of the men currently holding power in the US.

@jd That's Turkey, btw. Where street cats are so cared for, that they don't mind being picked up by some random person.
