Well they really took their time to get there and in many things, i think they haven’t even started walking, but at least they are there in this now.
But yeah, Texas isnt cough cough the most progressive place cough cough, which makes “too racist even for Texas” very meaningful.
No, fuck the current Israeli government.
Fuck Likud, fuck National Unity, fuck Shas, fuck Religious Zionist Party, fuck United Torah Judaism, fuck Jewish Power, fuck Noam!
Those are the parties forming the thirty-seventh government of Israel and many Israelis have been protesting against it since the election. It’s a government of the extreme far-right, made up of religious goons, nationalistic Zionists, jewish Supremacists, kahanist Fascists and Terrorists.
Yes! Terrorists, the “Jewish Power” or Otzma Yehudit Party is the successor organization to the prohibited Kach Party the same party that was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department in 2004.
Kahanist parties have actually been outlawed in Israel since 1985 but war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu will tell you that “Jewish Power” aren’t actually racist, supremacist, nationalist, zionist Terrorists (in short, Kahanists). If you ask him, they are “normal conservatives”.
In this case at least, the State of Texas is on the right side of history, they passed the Crown Act to protect black students from this BS school policy shit.
It’s the school that’s actually… get this… too racist for the State of Texas.
Jews for Hitler was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.

but “lead pipes” is unlikely to be a US specific health issue like was originally insinuated
With this I agree wholeheartedly, the biggest factors for differences between the rest of the developed world and the US, including USians being considered more agressive, less intelligent, less patient and with less empathy are definitely located in different fields.
Imho. culturally religiosity, difference in education, worldlyness and levels of societal cohesion are the biggest factors, along with good old prejudice against the militarily superior.
This year Germany passed a law to completely remove all lead pipes until January 2026.
But the allowed levels of lead in drinking water have already been lowered so much since 2013 (10 microgram per liter, this has been lowered again since to 5 microgram per liter) that any water that passed through a lead pipe cannot realistically fulfill the requirements, thus there are only extremely few households left with any lead in their pipes.
Coating the pipes is not a way out of this, since Germany has expressly forbidden this as a way to renovate.
Oh no… I had hoped very much that they would have been googly-eyes

Mhhhmmm Pasta
There are around 2.5 million ants for every human on earth.
If the ants collectively decided we should go, they could kill all of us in a day. The only places that would be safe are Antarctica (population varies between 4400 and 1100) and Greenland (population 56,643).
And don’t expect some scientists at the south pole or Greenlanders to repopulate the world, the scientists couldn’t and the Greenlanders wouldn’t out of spite.
Well shit…
It’s about the territorial waters that come with them
Extremely well said!
To be fair, the right would immediatly counter with “white dignity” or “straight dignity” and accuse everyone holding up LGBTQ±dignity or black dignity of denigrating white dignity and complain about an atmosphere where “whites aren’t allowed to feel the dignity of their race anymore”.
Because that’s just how they work.
Yeah well, one can be anti-oppression and anti-apartheid as well as anti-terror, anti-killing-civilians, anti-bombing-hospitals, anti-using-civilians-as-shields, anti-hostage-taking and anti-warcrimes.
The israeli Government is not the only one with blood on their hands and while nothing can excuse what the IDF is doing, nothing can excuse what HAMAS is doing too.
Both sides fucking suck, the only difference I can see is that HAMAS is bad for Israelis and Palestinians moreso than the Israeli Government is also bad for Israelis.
One of those people is not a US Senator. The Senator was the one bringing it up, getting all worked up over a Tweet. The Senator, chose “Congress” as the place and “during a hearing” as the time. Both these decisions are absolutely unfit for a US Senator.
Go fucking meet the guy behind a 7eleven after work or something like that. But nooo, the Senator said “here is a place, now is a time” because he needed to look like a tough guy in front of cameras.
I don’t care if those “tough guys” want to slog it out, but the choice of time and place shows such a serious lack of common sense that it would be alarming for a professional fighter, not to mention an elected representative.
The guy thought that, when challenged anytime anywhere, there and then, in Congress, during a hearing would be a good time and place. smh
Nyos…
Most of our public broadcasting is decidedly NOT state funded. It’s funded through the broadcasting fee and the government has no more influence over it than it does over private services.
Except for DW, which is not funded through the broadcasting fee but through our taxes and is actually 100% owned by the state. It is the official international broadcaster of the German state.
However:
So it’s not like DW can only say what the government wants it to say.
