"Like many women in Israel, I have also experienced a rude feminist awakening during this war. I’ve lost Palestinian comrades who did not like my condemnation of Hamas’ violence against Israeli women on October 7, and I’ve lost Jewish friends who regarded women in Gaza as legitimate targets.

"After some painful reflection, I’ve come to learn the strength and courage we women must cultivate to unequivocally denounce any violence against a woman’s body as abhorrent, whether" the aggressor is Palestinian or Israelian.

"Transparency", which the unelected co-president often claims of DOGE, is not a descriptive term, but a fraudulently offered fig leaf intended to subtly dissuade their all-too-trusting followers not to look deeper.

The kind of "inefficiency" they are really seeking to end is not the process inefficiency of these agencies, but the deliberative oversight by Congress that is its protection, and ours, against exactly this kind of smash and grab.

Their hurry is to steal as much as possible as quickly as possible in an irrevocable way, hoping to leave a crippled system that can no longer function to come after them.

Also, they rail against it "entitlement", but they are its poster children.

They are two irony-fisted dictator wannabes.

We must not let them succeed.

@immibis
The article at top of this thread lists many examples of silencing by @germany

Your recollection may hint at an earlier incident:
#Oyoun, a migrant-led cultural center, refused to give in to political pressure and cancel the 20-year anniversary event of the Jewish anti-Zionist group Jüdische Stimme in November 2023. #Berlin’s Culture Minister #JoeChialo ended the center’s contract with the city government, effectively shuttering Oyoun.

They announced: “This decision feels like more than just a closure; it resembles the setting of a precedent that all state-funded institutions may now fear. The implications are far-reaching, impacting the very essence of artistic freedom and expression.”
