Wenn Ihr französisch sprecht/versteht, sollt Ihr Euch diesen Beitrag anschauen/anhören - es geht um den Versuch der Einflußnahme von US-Diplomaten auf französische Richter*innen/Gerichtsverfahren (Marine Le Pen).
Trump veut faire élire Marine Le Pen ou Jordan Bardella !

On n’est plus dans de la fiction ou une théorie du complot, mais face à une réalité quand on entend, ce soir, le témoignage de la magistrate Magali Lafourcade. Et c'est flippant ! 😰

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder.

Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Honestly shocking that the main center right party (PSD) fails to endorse Seguro. They would benefit from reading @dziblatt.bsky.social’s historical work on the topic www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

That indeed is what is happening across Europe. Not fast enough, maybe. But it is happening.
And things are moving forward as we speak, we are becoming more independent from Usa. It's good to understand we do not live on stand still, concrete action is done all the time.

Einfach schön wenn man immer wieder Gründe hat der Mannschaft Respekt zu zollen. Und wie man der Eintracht das Heft aus der Hand nahm war allemal vorzeigbar.

Auf Bluesky allerdings auch nicht.

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.
