- Reposted by Jakob Wasserhoevel"The “anti-woke” movement was not a genteel intellectual inquiry, made by disinterested parties who cared deeply about free speech. It is a social circle of powerful people who feel threatened by #MeToo." Great read.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Filmed in Brixton, Stoke Newington, Notting Hill and Chalk Farm, it stars Delroy Washington, Roy Shirley, Sir Coxsone Sound System, Matumbi, Nicky Thomas, Tito Simon, Ijahman Levi, Aswad, Sharon Forrester etc youtu.be/Ah5-2qA_drk
- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelNEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

"But today, a reflexive position in the middle...makes little sense in a completely asymmetrical political landscape."

- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelIch fürchte, es ist bereits schlimmer: Während BILD vor überzogener Trump-, MAGA- & ICE-Kritik warnt, wirbt Springers „Global Reporter“ parallel bei POLITICO USA bereits offen für eine AfD-Regierung in Sachsen-Anhalt. Kein Zufall. Keine Einzelmeinung. Neue Blattlinie.

- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelThey’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelWhoa. Dems just flipped a Texas state senate seat in a district that Trump carried by 17 points. Not only that, but the win was decisive, making this an enormous swing. Plus, Republicans went all in to try to save the seat, to no avail.

- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelWer verstehen will, wie sehr sich Springers Blattlinie verschoben hat, muss nur diesen Text lesen. ICE-Terror wird als „Unerfahrenheit & schnelle Hand am Abzug“ verharmlost, verantwortlich „Linke“. Die Schuldumkehr zeigt wie sehr Anstand, Moral & Menschlichkeit verrutscht sind.
- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelThe winds of public opinion are at our back. We will press this Administration until we see impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelEin Mann filmt eine ICE-Festnahme. Er wird niedergerissen, geschlagen, mit 10 Schüssen hingerichtet. Staatliche Ermittler werden trotz richterlichem Beschluss vom Tatort ferngehalten. Aber Merz "geht davon aus, dass aufgeklärt wird, ob es notwendig war". Was für eine rückgratlose Pfeife.

- Reposted by Jakob WasserhoevelWhen Mamie Till was on the stand during the trial of her son's murderers in 1955, the defense argued she had misidentified her son's body, was lying in order to claim insurance money for her son, & had staged the whole affair with the aid of Communists & the NAACP. Tills murderers walked free.
