In Zürich spielen die Mieten verrückt. Ein Beispiel aus Wollishofen zeigt, wie Vermieter ihren Gewinn maximieren. Eine 4,5-Zimmer-Wohnung wird nach einem Mieterwechsel 1000 Franken teurer. Ohne dass an der Wohnung etwas gemacht wurde.

The entire East Wing is gone.

It's like a massive bomb went off.

The White House hasn't been damaged this much since the British caught it on fire.

This isn't a renovation. Trump demolished it.
Entire White House East Wing is gone.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

INSANE INFLATION: Average ACA premiums will rise ⬆️ 30% next year. The higher premiums, along with the likely expiration of subsidies, mean millions of people will see their health insurance payments double or even triple in 2026.

Of course the U.S. is not the first country to sleepwalk into authoritarianism, but the speed with which it does, and with which most of both the elites and masses collaborate or simply accept it, is truly stunning.

stating the obvious but if the democrats damaged the white house to build a gaudy oligarch dance room (in the middle of a government shutdown hurting people's livelihoods, no less) it would be a two month relentless news cycle

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

ICE überfällt jetzt nachts Wohngebiete, fesselt und entführt Kinder. Für alle Bürgerlichen: Das ist nicht konservativ, das sind gesetzlose Nazischweine.

Bastards!

"Augenzeugenberichten zufolge zerrten bewaffnete ICE-Agenten mitten in der Nacht Kinder aus ihren Betten, fesselten sie mit Kabelbindern und steckten sie in gemietete Transporter, während sie ein *gesamtes Wohnhaus* im Süden Chicagos durchsuchten."
chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 23d
According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago.
