"Mittel- und Ringfinger am Daumen, Zeige- und kleiner Finger gespreizt. Das ist doch ... der #Schweigefuchs? Nicht nur. Es ist auch Gruß und Erkennungszeichen der Grauen Wölfe. Und die sind die zweitgrößte rechtsextreme Bewegung Deutschlands.
Die auch Ülkücü-Bewegung genannte Gruppierung ist in der Auseinandersetzung um #Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland stark unterbeleuchtet, obwohl sie mit einer Anhängerschaft von etwa 12.000 Menschen die zweitgrößte extrem rechte Bewegung hierzulande darstellt. Dr. Ismail Küpeli von der Ruhr-Uni #Bochum hat sie erforscht und seine Ergebnisse niedergeschrieben in seinem neu erschienenen Buch „Graue Wölfe – türkischer Rechtsextremismus in Deutschland“.
Das stellt er online im Gerty-Spies-Forum am Freitag, 5. September, 19 Uhr, vor. Gäste können entweder vor Ort oder ebenfalls online teilnehmen. Anmeldung unter https://s.rlp.de/lpb-kuepeli050925

A new report by Amnesty International calls for the dismantling of concentrations of power to make way for rights-respecting digital ecosystems.

You can read the full report here: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/POL30/0226/2025/en/

#BigTech#SocialMedia#AntiBigTech#Democracy#Fediverse#Mastodon#News#Report

An image of a smashed phone is the background to a quote from Amnesty International's Breaking Up With Big Tech report, which reads: "Big Tech’s dominance can lead to devastating consequences for marginalized communities. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have become primary gateways to news and public discourse. Their algorithmic systems – optimized for engagement and profit – have been shown to amplify harmful content which elicits a stronger reaction from users and keeps us online longer, allowing these companies to collect more data on us and serve us more adverts. In an increasingly polarized context, this can contribute to the rapid spread of discriminatory speech and even incitement to violence – which has had devastating consequences in several crisis and conflict-affected areas."

🇺🇦 🌅It’s early morning in Odesa, and I’m heading to my next destination for humanitarian volunteering: Kharkiv.

🗣️This will be my first time working with a small, community-led Ukrainian group there, and I’m honored to join their efforts.

✅ I I’ll be sure to share updates from the ground.

Wishing everyone a great day. ✨

"Go to hell, John Roberts. You did this to us and history will remember you as every bit the villain as Trump. With the notable exceptions of Brown-Jackson, Sotomayor and Kagan, the Roberts Court will live in infamy like the one that delivered the Plessy ruling. Believe that."

🇺🇦 #Ukrainian Resilience | Day 3

Before #volunteering today, I stopped by the world-famous Pryvoz Marketplace in Odesa. 🚨 Just weeks ago, this historic site was attacked by Russian drones—one of countless civilian targets hit across Ukraine. But Ukrainians don’t cower to #terrorism. Pryvoz is open, alive, and serving the community.

📞 To those in the U.S. and allied countries: keep contacting your representatives. Urge continued support for #Ukraine. Your voice matters.

A Hong Kong court said it will deliver its verdict in media tycoon Jimmy Lai's national security trial at a later date, in a case that has drawn global attention as a test of the rule of law in the Chinese-ruled city. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/28/asia-pacific/crime-legal/hong-kong-jimmy-lai-trial/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #crimelegal#jimmylai #appledaily #hongkong #china #democracy

Solidarity from America 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Currently volunteering with the team at Coast of Life in Odesa. Today I handed them an 🇺🇸American flag—may it serve as a symbol of my gratitude, and of the unwavering support of the American people for Ukraine’s fight for freedom.🕊️

They used #racial ideology to construct a global division of #labor, a massively inequitable global division of #wages, & a global #hierarchy of rights. Racial ideology was promoted so aggressively that it developed its own momentum of #hatred & #violence.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.
