The author argued that alleged irregular activities involving Pedro Sánchez’s wife gave Spain’s president more than enough reason to resign, referring to an explanation by a man. They added that Sánchez lacked the decency to do what was right for Spain and was clinging to power until the bitter end. #España #dimisión #política #ES

Where is even the bare minimum of empathy? Of moral responsibility? Of basic human decency? And please, spare me the bullshit about national interests. I struggle to see how financially enabling Putin to keep killing Ukrainians and bombing Ukrainian cities serves the American people.

The original form of McCarthyism didn’t stop because the US political class discovered a sense of decency. It ended because it was targeted at the army: real people, who matter. If drunken Joe had the sense to just stick to harassing writers and actors, he could’ve kept going indefinitely.

"America's prime minister" Read @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social's deep-dive profile of Stephen Miller, the "world’s most powerful unelected bureaucrat is leading Trump’s wars on immigrants, civilians, the law, and human decency." zeteo.com/p/stephen-mi...

A powerful piece from Heather Humphreys today. Heather is a bridge-builder and a person of immense decency. Her message matters. The Ireland we build together must be a home for everyone, respectful of every tradition and identity on our island. https://t.co/bTDmw9pMis #Ireland #Inclusivity #Community #IE

Russia continues its attacks on Ukrainian soil, deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. Today, the Kremlin has yet again demonstrated an appalling disregard for human life and lack of human decency, killing and injuring civilians and striking the premises of #Ukraine #Russia #HumanRights #RU #UA

US laws and institutions didn’t provide the most important protection against monarchy and madness. The real guardrails were manners, dignity, decency. Politicians feared disgrace, to appall supporters, with behavior too regal and repugnant. But not Trump https://t.co/IBh1Dfa0R2 #Decency #Dignity #Trump #US

Sánchez is the sort of "leader" who could look on while his closest colleagues and wife are investigated and in some cases convicted and imprisoned, without having the decency to step down from high office. #LeadershipCrisis #Accountability #PoliticalScandals #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

„Many of our children are growing up with no memory of politics without Trump. They are coming of age in a world where pursuing virtue is seen as a sucker’s game, where decency is a distinct disadvantage.“ Gruß an die Trump-Inspirierten in der deutschen Politik. https://t.co/Dea7K19WZg #TrumpEffect #Politics #Decency #DE

Normalerweise spreche ich nicht über private Dinge. In den letzten Wochen war ich so ziemlich von der Bildfläche verschwunden. Viele haben sich nach mir erkundigt, aber ich habe nur selten die Kraft gefunden, zu antworten. Leider ist mein geliebter Vater am 11. Mai verstorben. In seinen letzten Stunden durfte ich noch bei ihm sein und seine Hand halten. Vorgestern haben wir ihn zu Grabe getragen. Vor diesem Verlust habe ich immer Angst gehabt. Und jetzt kann ich nicht fassen, dass mein Vater einfach nicht mehr da ist. Ich werde niemals mehr “Papa” sagen können und nie mehr sein freudiges “Sandimaus“ hören, wenn er mich gesehen hat. Mein Vater war ein Ausnahmemensch. Er stand wie kein anderer für alte Tugenden: Ehre, Würde, Anstand, Rückgrat und Treue. Er war ein Gentleman, der allen Menschen mit Respekt begegnet ist. Auch war er der selbstloseste Mensch, den ich kenne. Er hat für andere alles gegeben, und sich selbst stets zurückgenommen. Meine Mutter hat er auf Händen getragen. Auch für meine Großeltern war er immer da. Sie haben ihn geliebt wie ihren eigenen Sohn. Ich hätte mir keinen besseren Vater wünschen können. Er war liebevoll und fürsorglich. Ich habe ihm alles zu verdanken. Es tröstet, dass er jetzt von allen Schmerzen befreit und wieder mit meiner Mutter, seiner großen Liebe, vereint ist. Ich bin unendlich dankbar dafür, dass ich ihn hatte.   ***   I usually don’t speak about my personal life. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been missing in action. Many of you have reached out, but I’ve rarely had the bandwidth to reply. Sadly, my beloved father passed away on May 11. I held his hand when he passed. A couple of days ago, we laid him to rest. I had always been afraid of this day. And now I can’t fathom that my dad just isn’t around anymore. Never again will I be able to say “Papa” and never again will I hear his joyful “Sandimaus” when he’d see me. My father was a truly extraordinary mensch. Like none other, he embodied traditional virtues: honor, dignity, decency, integrity, and loyalty. He was a gentleman who treated everyone with respect. Also, he was the most selfless and giving person I have ever known. He cherished my mother, the love of his life. I could not have wished for a better father. He was loving and caring. I owe everything I am to him. At least now he is relieved of his pain and reunited with my mother. I am truly grateful that I had him. #Trauer #Erinnerung #Familie

Russia again shows utter disregard for Ukrainian lives and human decency. It has no interest in peace. Our thoughts are with those affected. Our solidarity is with the entire Ukrainian people. #StandWithUkraine #HumanRights #PeaceForUkraine #UA #RU

The person who eagerly signed the Nordstream 2 agreement with Russia a year *after* the forcible annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the shootdown of MH17 by Russia, killing 298 people, ought to have the decency to shut up already. She has no moral or political authority to speak #Nordstream2 #Crimea #MH17 #RU #UA

Mais oui, l'antisémitisme ne pose plus de problème à pas mal de salauds et de braves gens, ce qui est dégueulasse, mais c'est hélas la preuve de l'époque, où les haines sont tendances et la décence érodée. #Antisemitism #HateSpeech #DecencyLost #FR

The article argues that instead of prioritizing "authenticity" in political candidates like Graham Platner, who has a controversial past including a Totenkopf tattoo and problematic online behavior, voters should demand decency, honesty, and competence, emphasizing that compromising standards for the sake of opposing a political adversary, such as Donald Trump, can lead to a dangerous cycle of rationalization and diminished character in politics. #PoliticalIntegrity #CharacterMatters #EthicalLeadership #US #DE #MA #ME #AF #IQ #TN #GE #NA
