Well, we can’t even try to claim like the German citizens we didn’t know what was going on. The list are becoming public. Whoever didn’t try to block this locally (mayors, city councils, zoning) is complicit.
We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

🇲🇩🇺🇦 Moldovan President Sandu said that she is against her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, because there are more worthy candidates - Ukrainian prisoners of war.
Sandu emphasized that it is Ukrainians who are truly sacrificing themselves for the sake of peace and security in Ukraine and the EU.

This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.

⚠️ New research with HUGE data set (2.7 million): Autism rates are “more or less equal for men and women.”
Autistic females present differently than autistic males in childhood. As a result, females are often diagnosed later, so recorded rates are higher for male children but even out by adulthood.

2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
