Wäre wirklich schön, wenn sich zum Thema Arbeitszeit vor allem echte Expert*innen äußern. Sonst verschärft die Politik mehr Krisen als sie lösen wird. #lifestyleteilzeit
- Reposted by David KnollmannOne of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

- Reposted by David KnollmannA reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
- Reposted by David KnollmannWenn der Wirtschaftsflügel der CDU von „Lifestyle-Teilzeit“ spricht, zeigt das vor allem eines: Keine Ahnung von der Lebensrealität von Frauen & älteren Menschen. Dieser Begriff zeichnet ein völlig falsches Bild vom Alltag in Deutschland. www.n-tv.de/politik/CDU-...

- Reposted by David KnollmannOne of the problems with running bullshit from intellectual lightweights pretending to be Very Serious People or false binary takes, is that when you do run important pieces, it gets drowned out by the flood of that bullshit.

- Reposted by David KnollmannAlex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

- Reposted by David KnollmannSince this is about Greenland economic counter-measures may be only a (small) part of the picture. But the lesson the EU previously drew - to placate Trump - has now been falsified. Brussels should punch back to raise the costs for the US and get Trump to back down, 8/8

- Reposted by David KnollmannAs an aside, this from JD Vance is disingenuous. Yes, Europe relies on Suez for trade more than America. But diverting ships around southern Africa raises the cost of trade for everyone. The price of sending a container from Shanghai to LA almost quadrupled last year, to ~$8,000.
