I could really get worked up for hours: Germany has not made any significant progress in reducing the risk of poverty among single parents for years – and we take away money from the few who are managing financially at least reasonably. Just so that they know their place. (translated)
If someone in Berlin wants to be governed by the CDU, I remind them of the past winter and the hospitals that operated on emergencies day and night. (translated)
This must be the strategy developed by many advisors from the SPD and Union to win back women as voters. (translated)
If the Spiegel or the Union are interested in why many women vote left: Here is one of many reasons that is not mentioned in analyses. "A gynecologist fears that she will be able to treat 600 fewer women per quarter in the group practice than before." (translated)
Hopefully, few people and media will fall for the idea that "a woman as president" makes up for the fact that there is currently massive anti-feminist social dismantling happening and that politically, nothing is improving for women at the moment. (translated)
"And this point connects the story of the demonstrators with that of Eralp for me: Their fears and actions can be instrumentalized for other narratives. Meanwhile, what it is really about disappears." (translated)
Regarding the causes of the increase, suicide researcher Ute Lewitzka from the University of Frankfurt am Main said that more suicides are also a crisis phenomenon. Financial hardship and uncertainty promote suicidality in people with risk factors. (translated)
I do not want to be governed by the Berlin CDU again, among other reasons, because reintroducing a speed limit of 50 in front of daycare centers, schools, and nursing homes leads to very justified fears among those affected and their families. But it's never about what this CDU stands for and why it was voted out. (translated)
Do you remember how Manuel Hagel (CDU BaWü) claimed to have received threats after the "Rehaugen" video and it rained empathy? Which also nicely distracted from his misconduct. I don't think we need to seriously talk about double standards. They jump out at you. (translated)
Please do not evaluate the new ideas for parental allowance positively. There are significant cuts involved. For low earners, it improves even less. Initially, the minimum rate was to be raised to €400, now only to €330€. #classism (translated)
This federal government, whose chancellor claimed that "the daughters" could explain his "city image" comment, is also cutting funding for violence protection. (translated)
I find this initiative so good and have been advocating for it for years. The idea that people who migrate stay until the end of their lives and accept citizenship is simply outdated. Belonging through political inclusion still needs to be strengthened. (translated)
When it comes to something you can rely on, it is that the Union always comes up with new ideas that are anti-women and anti-care. Who primarily has educational or caregiving periods? I can't figure it out... (translated)
"We have to enter in the system that you explicitly want the flu vaccination on your own request, as it is not intended for young people like you. You want it because of the children, right?" says the family doctor, and you can see how absurd she finds it to have to say this. (translated)
"In times when it is becoming politically darker everywhere, all of this is a real counteroffer. If the three parties stand firm and transfer these agreements into a coalition agreement in November, this government under Elif Eralp is more than a glimmer of hope." (translated)
Journalism that does not "jump over every stick" would not give so much space to the deliberately extreme attacks of the Union on the Left, Greens, and SPD in Berlin, nor would they package them in headlines. They don't even have to make an effort for press work; they just insult. (translated)
"For children and adolescents, the culture card and the free museum Sunday should be reintroduced." (translated)
"I don't know if we will ever be able to stop that," Pistorius said. Yes, if politics never engages with masculinity, then that's how it is. But it could be different. (translated)
I find it important that these studies on the political orientation of young men are published. However, there is a huge gap since hardly anyone asks what politicizes young women and what they need. Discussions about this often remain stuck in assumptions and stereotypes. (translated)
