Ein Autofahrer fährt auf einen Radweg, und tötet einen Menschen. Und die Presse betreibt eine Täter-Opfer Umkehr🤦‍♂️ Wanda Perdelwitz ist nicht an fehlendem Helm gestorben. Sie ist gestorben, weil schreckliche Radwege werden. Warum fällt es im Autoland so schwer wahre Ursachen klar zu benennen?

It all boils down to: Trump wants to harm as many Americans as possible, while plundering as much cash as possible, because that’s what his Kremlin whoremasters want.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Imagine Watergate and the Saturday night massacre combined but instead the media ran cover for it. That's what this is.

Alt text: Screenshot of a CNN Politics article headline reading “Lindsey Halligan didn’t coordinate NY AG Letitia James indictment with Pam Bondi’s DOJ.” The byline lists authors Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins, Evan Perez, and Hannah Rabinowitz. The article was updated 1 hour and 55 minutes ago and is labeled as a 2-minute read.

Maria Corina #Machado wurde also der #Friedensnobelpreis verliehen. Und viele jubeln jetzt: Ein "Zeichen gegen Trump" sei das, eine Hoffnung für die Welt. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Bitte informiert Euch. Als Nachkomme chilenischer Faschismusopfer ist mir das wirklich wichtig. Ein Thread: (1)

Rechtsnationalistische Bolsonaro-Trump-Freundin bekommt Friedensnobelpreis. Und alle sind happy.

Das zeigt, wie bekloppt und maßlos vieles geworden ist.

Und nein, die Autos fahren nicht einfach woanders. Sie haben sich in Luft aufgelöst, weil die Autofahrer zu Fahrradfahrern geworden sind.

Warum ist der Zugriff auf die Manipulation der Gefühle durch Social Media und die Diskreditierung von Science/Fakten für die neue Achse von Faschisten und Tech-Oligarchen so wichtig?

Wenn sie damit durchkommen erledigen sie jede Demokratie.

The Economist tends to be very well-briefed when it comes to matters of British security. This is the second article I have seen in as many days warning about Russia‘s hybrid warfare against the West.
I would take this seriously.
