Trump suggested that restraint would be unfair since his Democratic critics are “getting personal all night long.”

This shows why it was paramount that the Democrats left the "high road". Trump has no clue how to react when someone finally hits back at the bully.

Reddit is no longer a safe place for free speech

Friendly reminder of when spez, many years ago, literally just changed a user's comment, and then went on to not be immediately fired over this insane breach of everything to do with customer relations.

Funny how they don't even pretend there's any logic to it. If you can view it in the app, then the content has been reviewed after all...? Clearly just a way to enforce app usage.

See also Rosalind Franklin who first discovered DNA's double helix structure (three men later received the Nobel Prize for this finding).

And more examples here.

For almost 80 years, an important part of German culture has been to fight Nazis and wannabe Nazis.

Luckily, the process of repealing or changing an amendment likely won’t change anytime soon, even with a Republican trifecta at the federal level, as it requires overwhelming public support. As outlined in Article 5 of the Constitution, any such change requires at least two-thirds of the Senate and the House to agree on the modification, with that change then requiring ratification by a minimum of three-quarters of states in the nation.

I wouldn't be so confident. If the majority decides to ignore it, then a constitution suddenly holds very little weight. Remember how the Roman Empire was once a Republic, until someone decided it wasn't anymore? Remember how 1930s Germany was a democracy, until someone decided that had to end?

Trump might argue some weird logic regarding the 22nd and 12th amendment. Or he might just declare a state of national emergency because of a new migrant caravan or some such shit, and postpone elections indefinitely. If he tries anything of the sort, it will all come down to whose side the military is on.

Libgen and scihub have done more for science than any of those shitty journal publishers.

I know the main thing here is Vance and Trump backstabbing and bullying Zelenskyy, but I just want to point out that Trump repeatedly talked about "raw earth" instead of "rare earths". We're truly fucked.

Watterson's art is fantastic. I love how the second panel goes haywire just like Dad's emotions, with his arms going over the text and into the neighbouring panels.

I honestly, literally believe that Trump still doesn't know what a tariff is.

Das würden die Genannten aber buchstäblich auch gegen jede andere Person tun. (Wirkliche) Inhalte spielen bei diesen Angriffen ja keine Rolle.

And this is only like, the fifth weirdest headline I've read about the guy.

That was an understandable reaction for 2016 to 2020. But not anymore.

Übrigens entgehen Berlin gerade Steuereinnahmen in Höhe von ca. 1 Milliarde €, weil Vonovia bei der Übernahme von DW und damit dem Erwerb von Immobilien im Wert von 20 Milliarden € insgesamt Grunderwerbssteuern in Höhe von 0,00 € zahlt. Geld ist reichlich vorhanden. Man müsste es sich nur nehmen.

Yes, this is a nazi salute. How long until we see regular "Hail Trump!"s (and/or "Hail Elon!"s)?

Jeff Joseph, Präsident der American Immigration Lawyers Association, bezeichnete Brösches Fall gegenüber CNN dennoch als «ziemlich ungewöhnlich». Normalerweise würden Reisende, die mit einem Esta in die USA einreisen und abgewiesen werden, ihren Antrag zurückziehen und direkt in ihr Heimatland zurückkehren. Dies, statt abgeschoben zu werden oder länger in Haft zu bleiben. Brösches längerer Aufenthalt in Otay Mesa sei «äusserst besorgniserregend».

ICE hat unter Trump einen großen Anreiz, willkürlich Leute in ihre detention centers zu stecken, um die Zahlen nach oben zu treiben. So viele kriminelle Ausländer gibt es gar nicht, deshalb sehen wir jetzt halt solche Geschichten.

Ich weiß auf jeden Fall, wo ich mindestens bis 2029 nicht hinreise.

Ich hab gestern den Link hier gesehen, draufgeklickt, die Umfrage war offen für alle, ich hab meine Meinung angekreuzt. Kriminelle Energie hat sich noch nie so Vanille angefühlt.

Welcome to the Calvin & Hobbes universe! Hobbes is shown as a stuffed animal anytime a human other than Calvin is in the picture.

Warmth, company, fun...? Also, the experience of being responsible for and caring for another being can be very valuable.
