Donald Trump betrays both the Iranians and the Ukrainians, two peoples fighting for their freedom, by his selfish focus on geopolitical interests and trade routes, while abandoning them in their struggle against oppression. (translated)

🚨 Myles Lewis-Skelly a bien été proposé à Manchester United & Chelsea par un intermédiaire, qui s’avère être Kia Joorabchian. Quand la nouvelle a éclaté, le vestiaire a mal réagi, et la fanbase encore moins. Quant à lui, le club insiste qu’ils n’ont jamais offert la possibilité à quiconque de signer Lewis-Skelly, tandis que des sources à Manchester United & Chelsea maintiennent s’être vus proposés le joueur. United en particulier a eu un fort intérêt et aurait considéré un transfert « au bon prix ». De son côté, Myles Lewis-Skelly était focus sur le fait de s’imposer dans son club formateur, et n’a jamais voulu partir ni même explorer la possibilité d’un transfert. @gunnerblog #Football #Transferts #MylesLewisSkelly
I looked down at my phone, and all of a sudden, boom I take a few I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritise my wellbeing and work toward lasting recovery.

Mijn hemel, ik zie een stukje Gerrit Hiemstra bij Jinek. Hij doet me denken aan de man op een zeepkist die het einde van de wereld voorspelt. Geloof geen valse profeten. De wereld gaat niet stuk door klimaatverandering, maar door het veel te dure klimaatbeleid dat NIETS oplost. Het klimaat verandert altijd. En de invloed van de mens is niet significant. De mens kan niet voor God spelen. Juist de nieuwe generatie is zich hiervan bewust en focust zich op problemen die we wél kunnen beïnvloeden. Zoals de woningnood. Een overheid die in bijna alles ons leven wil bepalen. En vrij ondernemerschap belemmert. En ook een niveau van immigratie die ons land niet meer aankan. #klimaat #beleid #woningnood

Deutschlands Wirtschaft wächst wieder. Doch hinter dem Aufschwung steckt vor allem ein kräftig steigender Staatskonsum. Es ist alles ein riesiger Fake! Investitionen sinken weiter! #Deutschland #Wirtschaft #Konjunktur #FOCUS Wachstum: Das deutsche BIP stieg im ersten Halbjahr 2026 preisbereinigt um 0,9 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Von den realen zusätzlichen 16,6 Milliarden Euro Wirtschaftsleistung entfielen rund 13,8 Milliarden Euro und damit etwa 80 Prozent auf höhere Konsumausgaben des Staates. Schwachpunkt: Während der Staatskonsum steigt, gingen die Investitionen im ersten Halbjahr 2026 real um 1,2 Milliarden Euro zurück. Die Investitionen lagen bei rund 370,1 Milliarden Euro und damit 0,3 Prozent unter dem Vorjahreswert. Bei den Anlageinvestitionen betrug der Rückgang sogar 0,5 Prozent. Der aktuelle Aufschwung bleibt damit anfällig, solange steigender Staatskonsum sinkende Investitionen überdeckt. Vielen Dank für den wichtigen Hinweis!

Giornata brutta, molto brutta: focus innanzitutto sulle condizioni di #Thuram che continuano a preoccupare (già da quando si é presentato in ritiro) mentre per #Kessie a cambiare é stata la richiesta inoppugnabile del terzo anno di contratto garantito più premio alla firma da pagarsi all’inizio della seconda stagione. La #Juve in questo momento non riesce e il giocatore ha comunicato al club di ritenersi libero dalla precedente promessa fatta ai bianconeri, se dovessero esserci uscite in grado di liberare #Juventus dai paletti imposti da #UEFA i colloqui potrebbero riaprirsi ma adesso la posizione di (estremo) vantaggio é erosa. I dirigenti ⚪️⚫️ erano convinti di poter trovare la quadra ma per il momento hanno manifestato l’impossibilità di poter andare oltre. #Calcio #SerieA #Calciomercato
Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and related gender ideological-belief measures were strongly associated with left-wing authoritarianism” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) was not simply standing in for being politically left-wing” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Support for coercion, punishment, and violence appears to be tied less to liberalism generally than to an authoritarian disposition organized around left-wing ideological content” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Gender ideology may supply authoritarian psychology with a structured map of perceived outgroups, threat sources, and oppressor classes” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Dissent becomes not a legitimate position but a failure of professional duty or an act of harm” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left”- Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence can come to seem permissible or necessary” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Three findings pull in the same direction. People who strongly endorse gender ideology positions score dramatically higher on left-wing authoritarianism than their political identity alone would predict. Furthermore, both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) predicted support for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Together, these findings support the paper's core claim: gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant, telling left-wing authoritarian psychology who the enemy is, why the situation is urgent, and—in those already disposed toward force—that violence is legitimate” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “One mechanism by which clinical content may translate into violence permission deserves note. Trans-Genocide Belief—the perceived likelihood that a genocide of individuals that identify as transgender is currently underway in the United States—is predicted to more strongly relate to CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) and LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) than to political identity and to be associated with elevated justification for political violence” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “This prediction is consistent with broader research showing that perceived threat, existential threat, and collective victimhood can increase support for hardline, punitive, or exclusionary action against outgroups, particularly when paired with authoritarian dispositions or strong moral conviction (Armaly & Enders, 2022; Carriere et al., 2022; Hirschberger et al., 2016; Kljajić et al., 2025; Schori-Eyal et al., 2014; Skitka, 2010)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Related work on moralization and violent intergroup conflict further suggests that when a political conflict is framed as a moral emergency involving dangerous or demonized outgroups, violence can come to seem permissible or necessary (Mooijman et al., 2018; Saguy & Reifen-Tagar, 2022)” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “The practical stakes are straightforward. Research frameworks for understanding authoritarianism have historically focused overwhelmingly on the political right, while analogous left-wing pathways have received far less attention. Yet federal agencies and public safety officials are concerned not only with ideology in the abstract, but with radicalization pathways: the content that tells people who to fear, why the situation is urgent, and when force becomes acceptable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology “This study suggests that the same psychological machinery operates on the extreme left, and that it may be running through institutional channels—clinical guidelines, professional standards, credentialed expertise—that current threat-detection frameworks are not well designed to recognize” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Violence connected to gender ideology remains largely undocumented in the academic literature. This study provides a first systematic empirical look at the psychological infrastructure that makes such violence conceivable” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Both LWA (Left-Wing Authoritarianism) and CGAS (Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale) were significantly positively correlated with justification for political violence across all six targets” - Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with blockers include: At baseline, about one-quarter of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About one-quarter reported having thought about suicide, and 8% reported having attempted suicide in the past. These numbers are on par with the population of middle school youth at large” - The Trans Youth Care - United States “Our main findings for youth starting treatment with GAH include: At baseline, about half of these youth had clinically concerning scores for depression and anxiety. About two-thirds reported having thought about suicide, and one-quarter reported having attempted. By two years after starting GAH, these youth showed increased scores for life satisfaction, appearance congruence (having the physical appearance of one's body match one's gender identity), positive emotions, and psychological well-being and decreased scores for depression and anxiety” - The Trans Youth Care - United States
