The AfD planned to found a new youth organization this weekend & was dumb enough to choose the univ town Gießen as their meeting place. Now tens of thousands of protesters are blocking the streets to prevent would-be members from entering the hall. Solidarität #Gießen! Nazis raus! AfD Verbot jetzt!

I love living in Germany, but one thing I hate here is Black Friday Woche (week). Black Friday is bad enough in the U.S., but in a country which doesn't even observe Thanksgiving, it is insane. No Thanksgiving holiday, no Black Friday BS and certainly not a whole freaking week of it!

Great news about Judge Immergut's ruling on Portland but judges everywhere need to get out of their courtrooms & into the streets so they can say clearly in their rulings that everything the govt is claiming about immigrant criminals & cities in chaos is all LIES. Document the truth in your rulings!

I finally finished reading book 3 of Richard Evans' Third Reich trilogy, Third Reich at War, this morning, 1 day after daylight savings ended here in Germany. I started this trilogy at the start of daylight savings in April. I highly recommend, but I am also so glad to be done with Nazism!

Thanks to Drumpf's illegal tariffs and chaos at Customs, it is almost impossible to send a package from Europe to the U.S now and letters are now taking 4+ weeks or even longer. DHL is explicitly telling Europeans that problems with its intl postal service are due to the problems with US Customs.

Trump claims "a friend" (no, he has no friends) gave him $130 mil that will be used to pay US troops. 1. Evidence, please, this actually happened. 2. Does this mean that the US military now belongs to this unnamed oligarch? Or is it just a rental, for the month? Per day? Terms, please.

Trump symbolically shits on Americans and literally destroys the White House. How are Americans not taking to the streets (again) to overthrow this regime? How can people rationalized this?

Perhaps the solution to Drumpf's dillusion about Portland being on fire is to send him there to see for himself. The key is: no protests, completely ignore him, ghost him, just people going about their daily lives as if he weren't there. Maybe the trauma of being ignored would give him an aneurysm.

Typical: NYT article about nativist backlash against the construction of foreign worker housing in a ski town on Hokkaido does not talk to a single "foreign worker," give any details about where they come from, under what conditions, nichts. You will always suck NYT but try sucking less!

Dear NYT: a U.S. govt shutdown is no longer unprecedented news (since it happens regularly now), whereas the president calling for American cities to be training grounds for the military to practice war is freaking news! Get your priorities straight!

Trump admin wants businesses to pay a $100,000 annual fee for H-1B visas, which are granted to immigrants working in: architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine & health, education, business, accounting, law, theology, the arts. Good luck with that!

What Trump said in response to a question about on how he is holding up after the death of Charlie Kirk: "I think very good, and by the way, right over there, you see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House."

Russian drone incursions into Poland & now Romania remind me of a very early gif (ca. 1998) of a Japanese kitten annoying an older cat. Funny as spit, until WWIII breaks out.

Two criminals are meeting in Alaska because one of them wants to distract from Epstein, Epstein, EPSTEIN! The other just wants old school rape-pillage colonial conquest but at least he hasn't openly talked about wanting to f§$% his own daughter.

U.S. State Dept report claims that the human rights situation in Germany has "worsened" because of free speech restrictions, i.e., Holocaust denial is still illegal. MAGA wants the same Herrenvolk democracy as the AfD, which is also prohibited by the German constitution. Faschos können mich lecken.

There is an ICC warrant for Putin for his Ukrainian war crimes (child kidnapping) but he has no worries that the U.S. will act on that warrant & detain him because the U.S. president is an adjudicated rapist & convicted felon (& Putin's bitch). Just 2 criminals hanging out in the wilds of Alaska.

The undermining of govt data collection & analysis began during the DOGE purge in the spring. Now it intensifies as the reality of a high tariff economic policy emerges: higher inflation, unemployment. Happy about your tax cut, Arschlöcher? Well, the cost of doing business just went way up.

A person can't be stolen from another person unless he/she is property, i.e., a slave. Trump has a slave owner's mentality. Somehow, not surprising.
