During his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Donald Trump demanded that lawmakers gathered in the joint session of Congress
“approve the SAVE America Act to stop illegal aliens [from] voting in our sacred American elections.”
Republicans stood and cheered.
“The cheating is rampant in our elections,” the president continued. “It’s rampant.”
The directive was built on years of Republican bloviating about a problem that doesn’t exist:
the notion that scores of…
Die Petition »Anerkennung von Open-Source-Arbeit als Ehrenamt in Deutschland«¹ richtet sich laut Text auf der Website explizit an den Petitionsausschuß des Bundestags. Wieso findet sie sich dann nicht auf der offiziellen Petitionsseite des Bundestags sondern einer privaten² Website³?
Fast noch mehr schreckt mich dieses Stockphoto, da ist schon fast egal ob KI-generiert oder gestellt. Diese übertrieben lächelnden pastellig-bunt ausgeleuchteten Normalos – welche Realität soll das abbild…
The Silence Camus Refused to Domesticate: Hazel Barnes, The Myth of Sisyphus, and the Cost of a Sympathetic Misreading
Hazel Barnes was one of the most careful American readers of French existentialism in the twentieth century. She translated Sartre's Being and Nothingness in 1956, a labor that shaped how generations of American students encountered Continental thought. When she turns to Camus, though, something interesting happens on the page. Her summary of The Myth…
Gestern ausgelesen. Fotografien und ein bisschen Biographie, verfasst vom Sohn Lee Millers. Wem der Name nichts sagt: Miller war in den 1930ern erst Model und dann Fotografin.

Both Democratic and Republican administrations spent decades searching for the elusive Iranian moderate.
The search was always misconceived.
The question was never whether Iran had moderates.

Preventative Medicine, or the Manufacture of Patients?
There is a sentence every American patient has heard at the dentist's chair, the cardiologist's office, the primary-care visit, and the pharmacy counter. It arrives in a tone of grave responsibility: We caught this early. What follows is a crown, an echocardiogram, a statin, a stress test, a referral, a follow-up appointment, and a copay. The word "preventative" has come to function as a moral shield around a…
Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he has discussed “our tone and our message”
with the two House Republicans who have made anti-Muslim remarks in recent days
but defended the right of the lawmakers to oppose “the imposition of Sharia law.”
“Look, there’s a lot of energy in the country, and a lot of popular sentiment, that the demand to impose Sharia law in America is a serious problem,”
