Hört Euch an was der Boss zu sagen hat.

Kunst und Kultur haben eine Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft und vice versa. Er nimmt diese eindrucksvoll und unerbittlich wahr.
Danke! Leider keine Selbstverständlichkeit.

BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice?

CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

„Die Industrie“ möchte angeblich Blau-Schwarz. Obwohl die FPÖ auch wirtschaftspolitisch das provinzielle vor das weltläufige stellt und die Vergangenheit gegenüber der Zukunft bevorzugt. Ich bin überzeugt, das ist ein Schuss ins Knie. 🧵 1/12

Message to the world. ☮️
Peace is not the absence of war
It‘s the time when we will all
Bring ourselves closer to each other
Closer to building a structure that
Is unique within ourselves
Because we have finally come
To Peace within ourselves

Nobody can do everything
But everybody can do something
Every1 must play a part

Must-see.
Cum-ex scandal in Germany proves how legal authorities need to be strengthened and supported, not eroded under the false claim of goverment efficiency.
The harm is enormous, support will pay off for citizens and governments.
