An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Wie soll das eigentlich funktionieren? Der Verzicht auf fossile Energieträger ist die Voraussetzung für Klimaschutz!

Erst dann stabilisiert sich die Temperatur. Das bedeutet kompletter Verzicht.

We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar.

Trump is fucking Ukraine. I’m ashamed to be represented by this regime. People fighting for their lives and country and this government sides with the aggressor. Sad.

Did I predict this when Trump said Tomahawks for Ukraine? It'll never happen. A shyster lures you with hope then shows you are trapped. Desperate, Putin is likely turning screws on the Murdochs & Trump and everyone he has KGB kompromat on. "Save me! Or else!"

Consider, for a moment, Thomas Gainsborough’s (1727-88), lifesize, Cottage Girl (1785). Apart from being one of his greatest paintings, it explores the dignity of a child & presents her* with the same status, as he would present the then King. A magnificent work of empathy.
