Rund 100 Milliarden Euro verliert die Staatskasse jährlich durch Steuerhinterziehung, mindestens 40 Milliarden davon durch sogenannte Cum-Cum- und Cum-Ex-Geschäfte.

Und das ist konservativ geschätzt laut Christoph Spengel, Professor für Betriebswirtschaftliche Steuerlehre an der Universität Mannheim.

Das ist somit nahezu ein Fünftel des Bundeshaushalts. Jahr für Jahr. Jedes Jahr!

Warum wird das nicht jeden einzelnen Tag in den Medien und der Politik erörtert?

Liebe Union, von einer „ultralinken Juristin“ erwarte ich die Forderung der sofortigen Enteignung des Großkapitals, der Vergesellschaftung aller Produktionsmittel, die Schaffung einer Räterepublik¹, der Verbrennung aller Kreuze und Bibeln, die Guillotine für alle Oligarchys, Soljanka und Club-Cola in der Regierungskantine, ein Gedenkschrein für Gudrun Ensslin und Karl Liebknecht, der Bundesadler hält zukünftig Hammer und Sichel in den Klauen, und die Auswilderung des russischen Bären im Bayerischen Wald.

Könnt ja sonst jede kommen, früher mußte man es sich noch verdienen, von der Union gehaßt zu werden, jetzt reicht es schon, eine potenzielle Gefahr für die AfD zu sein…

Last month, @stworg et al. published "The #AntiAutocracyHandbook" as "A Scholars' Guide to Navigating Democratic Backsliding" - and since then there's not been a single day this seemed unnecessary.

And to be honest, that's not good news.

Read it. Take care.

The Anti-Autocracy Handbook: A Scholars' Guide to Navigating Democratic Backsliding

The Anti-Autocracy Handbook is a call to action, resilience, and collective defence of democracy, truth, and academic freedom in the face of mounting authoritarianism. It tries to provide guidance to scholars navigating the growing global trend of democratic backsliding and autocratization, in particular in the U.S. To this end, it sets out how autocracies often follow a common playbook, built around the “3 Ps”: populism, polarization, and post-truth. Leaders present themselves as voices of “the people” against “corrupt elites”, inflame societal divisions, and undermine facts to avoid accountability. This leads to a cascade of dangers for scholarship, including censorship, restrictions on funding and research collaboration, and even violence. The Trump administration serves as a contemporary example, with policies that curtail international scientific cooperation, revoke research grants, and suppress studies related to public health, climate change and minority issues. Because open inquiry and dissent are central to science and academia—qualities antithetical to authoritarian control—academia is often among the first targets of autocrats. To help scholars resist authoritarian developments, the handbook highlights both historic and contemporary measures aimed at attacking scholars, their institutional environments, and their scholarship. The handbook also sets out a framework for action based on personal risk level—low, medium, high, or extreme. This is designed to help scholars think about their own risk and purposefully choose actions in line with it. The handbook considers tools for enhancing digital safety and highlights the importance of ongoing documentation, preserving imperilled data, and creating distributed archives as a defence against erasure. It also calls on scholars to tell their stories—publicly or anonymously—to inspire others, maintain accountability and preserve a historical record. Accompanying the handbook is a living wiki that will continue to incorporate new developments and provide updates on global efforts by scholars to push back against authoritarianism and safeguard the democratic foundations that enable free inquiry.

Pause for a moment and take a few deep breaths.

On 14h July (though it was already the 15th here), some of my monitoring jails started throwing errors. Not all of them, though. On the same host, an Uptime Kuma instance was showing a ton of servers down, while LibreNMS wasn't displaying any issues. After investigating, I discovered why. The jail running LibreNMS was using local_unbound (integrated into FreeBSD), while the other, perhaps for speed, was using Cloudflare's DNS.

DNS is like email, the Fediverse, and other similar services: they work better and make us freer when they're decentralized.

Let's go back to decentralizing the internet. Its very existence, as we've known it, depends on it.

Frankreich legt das „soziale Leasing“ für E-Autos neu auf: Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen können ab Herbst 2025 wieder Elektroautos zu günstigen Konditionen leasen – für unter 100 Euro im Monat. Die erste Runde war 2023 ein großer Erfolg: Innerhalb eines Monats waren 50.000 Fahrzeuge vergeben. Die Regierung stellt nun erneut 50.000 Fahrzeuge bereit. Ziel ist, Klimaschutz mit sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu verbinden und benachteiligten Gruppen den Zugang zur Elektromobilität zu erleichtern.

Verkehrswende: Frankreich setzt erfolgreiches Sozialleasing für E-Autos fort

Um finanziell schwächeren Bürgern den Umstieg aufs E-Auto zu erleichtern, hat Frankreich das Sozialleasing eingeführt. Die Subvention wird nun neu aufgesetzt.

#Selbstbestimmungsgesetz:
Dobrindt plant #Zwangsouting per Verordnung

Ich konnte es erst nicht glauben, aber Andre von netzpolitik.org bestätigte die Echtheit des Entwurfs. Hier nun die lesbare Version von netzpolitik.org:

Euch dennoch eine gute Zeit. 🙂

Selbstbestimmungsgesetz: Dobrindt plant Zwangsouting per Verordnung

Mit einer neuen Verordnung zur Umsetzung des Selbstbestimmungsgesetzes will das Bundesinnenministerium frühere Geschlechtseinträge und Vornamen dauerhaft speichern und an andere Behörden übermitteln. Die Begründung bleibt vage – die Kritik von Verbänden ist dafür umso deutlicher.

Ich rege mich hier nicht über aktuelle politische Ereignisse auf; statt drölfzig Posts dazu nehm ich mir lieber Zeit, an die relevanten Abgeordneten zu schreiben, was mehr Chancen hat.

Bitte alle dran denken, dass die fossilen Lobbyisten einen Abnutzungskrieg führen und Teil der Strategie ist, uns so mit Erregung zu beschäftigen, dass wir keine Zeit und Energie haben, das zu tun, was tatsächlich etwas bewirken könnte.

Also teilt euch bitte die Kräfte ein.

@Nigel_Purchase Trump is on Epstein’s list .

TRUMP. IS. ON. EPSTEIN’S. LIST. Not a drag queen, not a trans person, probably not even dems. Trump is on epstein’s list and flight logs.

@canleaf @Nigel_Purchase

we don't even need to talk about epstein's contact lists

the flight logs tell enough

and trump is on them

it's funny and cringe to see right wing conspiracy theorists twist themselves into pretzels to smear people on the left with epstein, and utterly ignore the radioactively obvious about trump

@benroyce @Nigel_Purchase I fear he will be much more unpredictable.

@canleaf @Nigel_Purchase

distraction is all trump knows

so yes

he'll bomb tehran so people talk less about epstein or some other scary and dangerous bullshit to distract

@benroyce @canleaf @Nigel_Purchase

Exactly!

I've been predicting a bombing run for a few days now. I wouldn't want to be in Greenland rn.

@benroyce
Yup, he's done it before. In April 2017, Chump dropped a MOAB... Just after McCain told the American people to watch what Chump does, not what he says. Media all but ignored McCain's warning and instead jumped all over the MOAB.

@canleaf @Nigel_Purchase

@Nigel_Purchase
Keep talking about Epstein.
@Nigel_Purchase Imagine being a sitting president of United States of America and whining about it on social network like you're arguing with bunch of teenagers. How the fuck is this the actual reality?!
@Nigel_Purchase 🤭
I think, he never had heard about Streisand effect.

@Nigel_Purchase

Trump had his hands all over Epstein. And probably underage girls, too.

@Nigel_Purchase Freedom of Speech absolutist they said
@Nigel_Purchase wow is that real? Any link to this post?

@TruthMattersww

I'm assuming it's real. But it may not be. It comes from a Bluesky post.

@Nigel_Purchase @TruthMattersww I couldn't find it on Truth Social or mentioned elsewhere. I think it's fake.
@Nigel_Purchase if Donald says don’t do it, do it!!! That’s the law.
@Nigel_Purchase
He's making a list...
He's checking it twice...
@Nigel_Purchase if there is a list, the photographs would suggest Trump is on it.
