Was Bas nicht sagt: Das Karenzjahr für die Wohnungsmiete ist jetzt weggefallen — und sie hat das abgeknickt! Wer nun bedürftig wird, muss von jetzt auf gleich in eine billigere Wohnung ziehen — die es überhaupt nicht gibt! Das neue Gesetz ist eine Obdachlosenherstellungsmaschine! Shame on you, SPD!

Trump’s attempted invasion of Chicago is starting to backfire. On Wednesday, roughly 1,000 protesters marched through the streets.

And yesterday, a judge temporarily blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Illinois.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

We just watched Nahschuss with Lars Eidinger about the last casualty of the DDR Unrechtsstaat, and i cannot emphasize enough how the last year has overtaken any measure of fairness or justice. And the social twisted perception of it. This is all so perverted.

AfD-Bundesvorstand und MdB Stephan Brandner hatte mich auf X ja mehrfach als „Faschistin“ bezeichnet. Ein Gericht verbot ihm das, doch er wiederholte die Beleidigung und versprach sogar eine großzügige Belohnung, wenn es ihm andere nachtun. Danach erstatteten wir Strafanzeige.

Machart erhält einen „Friedens“-Nobelpreis. Vielleicht sollte man die Kategorie insgesamt abschaffen. Der Begriff ist wie Freiheit mittlerweile nahezu bis zur Gegenteiligkeit verdreht. Allein dass ein selbsternannter „Dictator from day one“Anspruch darauf erhebt zeigt wie kaputt die Preisvergabe ist

María Corina Machado erhielt den Friedensnobelpreis – doch ihre Nähe zu ultrarechten Netzwerken, marktradikalen Plänen und einem früheren Staatsstreich sorgt für heftige Kritik.

"The Supreme Court has made clear that it will allow Trump to violate every constitutional prohibition, removing any obstacle in his way, and crediting the most farcical legal argument."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

In under-the-radar news: a GOP-aligned former election official just bought Dominion Voting. He wants to mirror trump’s election directives. His other company, KnowInk, has been tied to multiple voting failures. Now he controls the machinery & our votes. That should scare everyone.

Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official.

Deutschland würde so dringend eine Sozialdemokratie brauchen, wie seit dem Krieg nicht mehr.

Aber die hatte sich leider irgendwann selbst aufgelöst und wurde durch das ersetzt, was sich heute als SPD in leitender Funktion am sozialen Massenkahlschlag beteiligt.

my 2 cents:
»ein Zeichen gegen Trump« ist allein, dass er den Preis nicht bekam. Die Fakten zur Preisträgerin sind natürlich verstörend. Thx dafür.
