"Ausländer raus!" sagen sie & wählen AfD, aber wenn du sie auf ihre Kollegen, Nachbarn oder Freunde mit Migrationshintergrund ansprichst sind die nie mit gemeint. Irgendwie sind es nie die "Ausländer", die man kennt. Nur die, die man in Social Media vorgespielt bekommt. Dann "denkt doch mal selbst"!

They’re targeting New York Attorney General Letitia James for one reason: she had the courage to hold Donald Trump accountable.

This is political weaponization of our courts, plain and simple—and proof that when you stand up to corruption, they come for you.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

That’s why we in Europe think that the majority of U.S. citizens agree with Trump’s actions — hardly anyone takes to the streets to oppose him.

NEU: Die Wirtschaftsministerin persönlich hat der Stiftung Familienunternehmen Lobby-Tipps gegeben. Ihr Ministerium könne das Vorhaben dann "flankieren". Und ihr Staatssekretär hat die Milliardärslobby gebeten, Druck auf die SPD auszuüben.

Ich bin Vielfahrer und fahre auch schnell. Doch ich befürworte auch ein Tempolimit. Dann bitte aber die ständigen Wechsel der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen abschaffen. 130,120,110,100 dann in den Baustellen 80,60 usw. 130 auf der Autobahn und 60 in der Baustelle. Spart Schilder und Stress

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

This is a professor at Rutgers who teaches a class on the history of anti-fascism. He also teaches about human rights. He has received multiple death threats and been doxed. He is relocating to Europe for his safety. This is where we are in the US now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Bei aller berechtigten Kritik an dem systematischen Angriff auf Demokratie und Menschenrechte von Faschist Trump und seinem Regime sieht man auch, wie viele Tausende sich wieder bereitwillig zum Helfershelfer des Bösen machen lassen. Ein (Möchtegern-)Diktator kann nie allein ein Land terrorisieren.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Dick Durbin asked Pam Bondi point blank if she consulted with the White House about not releasing the Epstein files AND SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER: “I'm not going to discuss anything about that with you.”

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

"A clear visual clue that the photograph was not taken in Portland was that the first officer’s shield is marked 'Policia', the Spanish or Portuguese word for police."

As you can see, I had to use cutting edge #OSINT techniques for this one.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
