Bravo. 15 weitere verhungert, davon vier Kinder. Super starke Intervention, Ihr Telefonat. Israel hat sichtlich gezittert.

In den letzten 24 Stunden wieder 72 Tote in #Gaza! Wie lange noch?!

Falls Sie wissen wollen, was Sie und die Vorgängerregierung verbrochen haben und weiterhin (sic!) dulden:

By now, the whole world despises #Germany and looks down on us bec of our cowardice, hypocrisy & the audacity after committing TWO genocides in one century to support another in #Gaza committed by #Israel.

Great job, @germany.diplo.de, to ruin the reputation, ramming it into the ground. F... you!

X-Post by Senator Warren: CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

It would be good if politicians would spare us today their fake sympathies for the victims of the #Srebrenica #genocide, while allowing genocide in #Gaza happening without even blinking an eye. We're done both with your cowardice and your hypocrisy!

Where's a straitjacket if you need one?

But Trump is raded on some kind of never-seen-before curve and his craziness is normalized. - Underneath that a post by The White House saying "The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American ways. Superman Trump." All in caps. Underneath that a photoshopped version of Trump as Superman.

"You will never be disappointed with the United States of America" – is seriously the joke of the day.

All that needs to be said about the #4thOfJuly.
The Red man was the true American. They have almost all gone, but will never be forgotten. The history of how they fought for their country is written in blood, a stain that time cannot grinde out. Their God was the sun, their church all outdoors. Their only book was nature and they knew all the pages. Charles M. Russell (1864 – 1926)

“That,” she said, “is what it’s like to be Black in America.”

All the WTF you need to know.
Once inside, we got chatting to a Black woman, who was out with her brother, celebrating a promotion with a few cocktails. I mention that she was Black because we started discussing cultural observations, and my German friend—in typically German bluntness—straight up asked her: “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what’s it like to be Black in America?” She paused. Then, she said this: “I guess the best way to answer that question is to tell you a bit about my car. I’ve been fortunate to have been successful. I’ve got a good job. I work hard. I’m paid well. And I like cars. So, after I got one of my raises, I got myself a red Corvette—the kind of car that’s a status symbol, plenty of wow factor.” She took a sip of her mint julep. “But here’s the thing. Since I started driving it, I’ve been stopped five times by the police for apparently no reason. Every time, there’s some flimsy pretext, but in four of the five times, they’ve come up to the window, then asked the same question: ‘Ma’am, how can you afford this car?’ The insinuation, of course, is that I’ve stolen it.” “So, you know what I’ve done? To make sure that I don’t have to reach for anything — in case they think I’m reaching for a weapon — I now drive around with my license and registration taped to my dashboard. But I also have printed out and taped my latest paycheck there, too, so I can just point to it when I get stopped, proving that I can afford a Corvette.” “That,” she said, “is what it’s like to be Black in America.”

“This [ICEBlock] is an app that is publicly available to any iPhone user who wants to download it,” the network said in a statement. “There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN.”
Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said on Tuesday that she was “working with the Department of Justice” to see if the Trump administration could prosecute CNN for publishing an article about an app that allows users to send alerts about the presence of nearby immigration agents. “We’re going to actually go after them and prosecute them,” Ms. Noem told reporters at an appearance with President Trump in Florida. CNN said the article was a straightforward report on the existence of the app, called ICEBlock. “This is an app that is publicly available to any iPhone user who wants to download it,” the network said in a statement. “There is nothing illegal about reporting the existence of this or any other app, nor does such reporting constitute promotion or other endorsement of the app by CNN.” Allies of Mr. Trump, including the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, have criticized CNN after the online article was published on Monday. Last week, Mr. Trump threatened to sue CNN and The New York Times for publishing articles about a preliminary intelligence report on the American attack on Iran, the conclusions of which ran counter to the president’s assertion that Iran’s nuclear program had been “obliterated.”

"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars."

#Gaza
Title photo: Breaking the Silence - "It's a killing field" - Soldiers' Testimonies from the GHF distribution sites Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen report after report, video after video, showing Palestinians in Gaza being shot at while trying to reach aid centers. While simply trying to feed themselves and their families. Now, Haaretz has revealed that soldiers were instructed by their commanders to fire at crowds near the GHF aid distribution centers to drive them away, even when it was clear those crowds posed no threat. Here’s how the soldiers described the horrific scenes: "It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then, once the center opens, the shooting stops, and they know they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire." "I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons." "Technically, it's supposed to be warning fire – either to push people back or stop them from advancing (...) but lately, firing shells has just become standard practice. Every time we fire, there are casualties and deaths, and when someone asks why a shell is necessary, there's never a good answer. Sometimes, merely asking the question annoys the commanders." "You know it's not right. You feel it's not right – that the commanders here are taking the law into their own hands. But Gaza is a parallel universe. You move on quickly. The truth is, most people don't even stop to think about it." "When we asked why they opened fire, we were told it was an order from above and that the civilians had posed a threat to the troops. I can say with certainty that the people were not close to the forces and did not endanger them. It was pointless – they were just killed, for nothing. This thing called killing innocent people – it's been normalized. We were constantly told there are no noncombatants in Gaza, and apparently that messa…

Nowrasteh responded with a quip: "Not everybody could marry Donald Trump, and I think that's quite an achievement, so I think she deserves credit for that."

No doubt, marrying Donald Trump is an achievement. But to equate it to Einstein seems rather off.

Or were these achievements the factor?

"Petrova faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted of smuggling and a sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the charges of concealment of material fact and false statements."

Because cancer research is really bad. Yep.
The Harvard University researcher and Russia-born scientist who spent months in Ice custody after being accused of smuggling frog embryos into the US now faces additional criminal charges. A federal grand jury indicted Kseniia Petrova, a cancer researcher for Harvard Medical School, on Wednesday on one count of concealment of a material fact, one count of false statement and one count of smuggling goods into the United States, the Associated Press reports. She was returning from a vacation earlier this year in France, where she had stopped at a lab specializing in splicing superfine sections of frog embryos to obtain a package of samples for research. She was questioned about the samples while passing through a US Customs and Border Protection checkpoint at Boston Logan international airport, and told after an interrogation that her visa was being canceled. Federal officials accused her of lying about “carrying substances” into the country and alleged that she planned to smuggle the embryos through customs without declaring them. Petrova has said she didn’t realize the items needed to be declared. Petrova faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted of smuggling and a sentence of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the charges of concealment of material fact and false statements.

Nothing to see here. Just a normal day on the timeline of the President of the USA (POTUS) – who strictly keeps his duties to the nation and his personal financial interests separate.

To insinuate anything else is [checks notes] "ridiculous".

Dear #USA, could you explain to us, the rest of the world, why your so called 'President' is not in a mental asylum, where he belongs? Asking for a friend.
BREAKING NEWS…I was shocked to hear that the State of Israel, which has just had one of its Greatest Moments in History, and is strongly led by Bibi Netanyahu, is continuing its ridiculous Witch Hunt against their Great War Time Prime Minister! Bibi and I just went through HELL together, fighting a very tough and brilliant longtime enemy of Israel, Iran, and Bibi could not have been better, sharper, or stronger in his LOVE for the incredible Holy Land. Anybody else would have suffered losses, embarrassment, and chaos! Bibi Netanyahu was a WARRIOR, like perhaps no other Warrior in the History of Israel, and the result was something that nobody thought was possible, a complete elimination of potentially one of the biggest and most powerful Nuclear Weapons anywhere in the World, and it was going to happen, SOON! We were fighting, literally, for the Survival of Israel, and there is nobody in Israel’s History that fought harder or more competently than Bibi Netanyahu. Despite all of this, I just learned that Bibi has been summoned to Court on Monday for the continuation of this long running, (He has been going through this “Horror Show” since May of 2020 – Unheard of! This is the first time a sitting Israeli Prime Minister has ever been on trial.), politically motivated case, “concerning cigars, a Bugs Bunny doll, and numerous other unfair charges” in order to do him great harm. Such a WITCH HUNT, for a man who has given so much, is unthinkable to me. He deserves much better than this, and so does the State of Israel. Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State. Perhaps there is no one that I know who could have worked in better harmony with the President of the United States, ME, than Bibi Netanyahu. It was the United States of America that saved Israel, and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu. THIS TRAVESTY OF “JUSTICE” CAN NOT BE ALLOWED! Jun 26…
