It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

Ein Gericht hat schon entschieden, das es keinerlei Rechtsgrundlage für diese Verhaftung gibt. Das Trump-Regime nimmt trotzdem Journalisten fest, weil sie einen Protest filmten. Der US-Rechtsstaat ist derzeit am Ende.

Seit einem Jahr hält die russische Seite meisterlich Donald Trump mit angeblichen Zusagen hin. Sie versteht genau, wie er tickt.

Und wir wiederum sollten mittlerweile wissen, wie die russische Seite tickt.
Putin hat Trump schon viel versprochen. Nur spüren die Menschen in der Ukraine gar nichts davon. Im Gegenteil: Sie müssen in Dunkelheit frieren, weil die Folgen der russischen Angriffe verheerend sind. Journalismus sollte sich auf Fakten konzentrieren, nicht auf Ankündigungen.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Und wenn man die Statements schon abbildet, dann sollten sie immer eingeordnet werden: www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...
„Ich denke, das Video spricht für sich“: Mann von US-Grenzbeamten in Minneapolis erschossen
Aufnahmen zeigen, wie ICE-Beamte mehrfach auf den am Boden liegenden Mann schießen. War er bewaffnet? Trump verteidigt die Kräfte der Einwanderungsbehörde. Ein Richter lässt Beweismittel sichern.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Der in Minneapolis getötete Alex Pretti war 37 Jahre alt und Intensivpfleger in einem Krankenhaus für US-Veteranen. Er wurde erschossen, nachdem er dazwischen ging, als Border Patrol Agenten zwei Frauen zu Boden schubsten.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.

Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

„Besonders deutlich wird die Schieflage der Debatte beim Blick auf die Pflege. Alten- und Krankenpflege weisen aufgrund hoher körperlicher und psychischer Belastung die höchsten Krankenstände auf. Niemand würde Pflegekräften eine schlechte Arbeitseinstellung unterstellen“
Der hohe Krankenstand in Deutschland ist endlich Gegenstand einer Debatte. Allerdings nicht so, wie man es sich als Arzt wünschen würde. Statt einer Ursachenanalyse geht es derzeit vor allem um Symptombekämpfung. Mein Gastbeitrag für echo-online: www.echo-online.de/lokales/darm...

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Egal ob Friedensrat, Grönland, Gaza-Pläne, Venezuela, die Medienpolitik, die Krypto-Politik, die ständigen Zollankündigungen, die Begnadigungen diverser Krimineller, Witkoff als Ukraine-Gesandter... immer spielen persönliche Profitinteressen eine Rolle.

Die endlose Korruption der Trump-Regierung ist ein Schlüssel um so vieles von dem zu verstehen, was in nationaler und internationaler US-Politik gerade passiert. Denn es geht nur selten wirklich um "nationale Interessen", sondern vielmehr um die Bereicherung einer Machtclique und -familie.

They didn’t want a university without cancel culture. They didn’t want to be criticized for their retrograde views so they created a pretend school funding by their rich friends. The only people surprised that this failed were credulous enough to believe the fairy tales these folks told.

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.

It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.
