Moving piece by @aallensport.arseblog.com about Arsenal giving back to the North London community, the foundation on which the club rests and the soil that its roots have grown into. arseblog.news/2025/12/insi...

A great read and incredibly well-researched piece of journalism that goes a long way towards explaining why young men in America flock to Trump. www.compactmag.com/article/the-...

Goldman Sachs’ economists “expect German GDP growth to rise from 0.3% this year to 1.4% in 2026 and 1.8% in 2027. This is significantly above the 0.8% potential rate of growth and the consensus among economists surveyed by Bloomberg.”

European leaders outline their security guarantees for Ukraine: - Support for the Ukrainian army (800k troops) - Multinational force inside Ukraine - Mechanism to monitor & verify ceasefire - Legally binding assistance for future attacks (Article 5-like) - Post-war recovery assistance - EU accession

Sarah Rogers, the State Department official who hectored Europeans about free speech, is seen here with a far-right German AfD deputy, Markus Frohnmaier, whom two Kremlin documents obtained by @spiegel.de described as "a parliamentarian under our absolute control." spiegel.de/politik/ausl...

Russland verschärft den Kurs gegen die Deutsche Welle: Schon wer Beiträge des deutschen Auslandssenders teilt, macht sich strafbar. Der Sender will die Zensur weiter umgehen – er erreiche mehr Menschen als je zuvor.

Unarmed by-stander, Ahmed el Ahmed, a fruit shop owner challenged & took the gun from one of gunman in the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. He went to hospital after being shot in the leg & shoulder by another gunman. Doctors have told his family that he should be OK www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Auf Drängen der Bundesregierung soll die EU das Verbrenner-Aus 2035 kippen – ein wirtschaftsfeindlicher und klimaschädlicher Fehler. CDU & SPD tragen Verantwortung. Die Zukunft ist elektrisch. Wenn wir das Momentum jetzt verspielen, überlassen wir China das Feld.

For more than 2 years, police in Berlin - encouraged by city and national politicians - have systematically used excessive violence in an attempt to beat the Palestine solidarity movement into silence. I wrote about this phenomenon for the @lrb.co.uk

Um es mal im Wortgebrauch der Konservativen auszudrücken und somit den Menschenfeinden in CDU & BMI verständlich zu machen: Das ist unehrenhaft.

Es ist schwer in Worte zu fassen, wie anstandslos & moralisch verwerflich die Entscheidung ist, diese Afghanen nicht nach Deutschland zu holen. Es werden Menschen im Stich gelassen, die wegen ihrer Arbeit mit der Bundeswehr um ihr Leben fürchten müssen. Beschämend www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/afgh...

According to @spiegel.de Israel is "defining a new border" and they give us the whole thing exclusively from Israel's perspective. Calling this anything other than annexation is disinformation. Israel will annex over 50% of Gaza, according to Israel's army chief. www.spiegel.de/ausland/isra...

If and when finally captured, these cities are symbolic of #Russia 's failure to make meaningful progress at acceptable losses. Pokrovsk should remind the West how effective its support of #Ukraine has been.

Wenn wir diesen Mist beschließen, werden 2035 in Europa die Bänder stillstehen. In 5 Jahren hat China den Automobilmarkt übernommen und ist im E-Auto davon gerast. Statt aufzuholen, will Friedrich Merz zurück zum Verbrenner. Das ist eine Kapitulation vor der Aufgabe.

Die CDU in Berlin scheint kein großes Interesse daran zu haben, wiedergewählt zu werden.

What an amazing day for Arsenal and for Eberechi Eze. Incredible for him in any context, but with his history, his journey, it's just really, really special. Also a massive win, and a statement/fuck off win in this title race after the results yesterday Huge day, lots of fun to be had after this!

Before Germany’s last elections, hundreds of combustion-engine cars had been vandalised, combined with pro-Green flyers left on site. State investigators now assume a Russian influence operation: #fossilwarfare www.n-tv.de/politik/Ermi...

NEW: The Israeli government’s forced displacement of the populations of three West Bank refugee camps in January and February 2025 amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Read more: www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...

‘I’ll be executed on Tuesday’: families reveal panicked last calls from foreigners on Saudi’s death row

Axel Springer, NIUS und die Union würden Gift und Galle speien, wenn das bei SPD/Grünen/Linken passiert wäre. 9 Millionen Euro Fördergeld für diesen Scharlatan und seine fachfremde Frau (!), das muss man sich wirklich mal vorstellen. Dafür müsste mindestens eine Person ihren Job verlieren. Müsste.

 “The brigade rabbi sat down next to me and spent half an hour explaining why we must be just like they were on October 7. That we must take revenge on all of them, including civilians. That we shouldn’t discriminate, and that this is the only way." #Gaza www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's almost like rich people tried to scare poor people into voting against their own interests.

YouTube löscht 100te Videos von palästinensischen Menschenrechtsorganisationen. Der Grund: Die Orgs wurden von der US Regierung sanktioniert, nachdem sie mit dem Internationalem Gerichtshof zusammen gearbeitet haben. Ein krasser Angriff auf Meinungsfreiheit und Menschenrechte.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

"Der Antrag zeige zudem einen „defizitorientierte[n] Blick auf Menschen mit Migrationsbiographien und muslimischer Religiosität“ Das vom Islamhasser & Pseudoexperten Ahmad Mansour konzipierte Projekt diskriminiert gegen Muslime & wird wissenschaftlichen Anforderungen nicht gerecht - wen wundert's?

The frog boils gently.

The West stands by idly as genocide unfolds in Sudan. Regional powers are fuelling the conflict by supporting the waring parties. The world is a sad mess. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Should we just give cash to homeless people? I wrote about what the evidence shows--and a London-based charity called Greater Change that has a simple, innovative way of making a difference:

Jobcenter melden 2024 421 Fälle von Sozialmissbrauch. Im selben Jahr gingen uns 200 MILLIARDEN € durch Steuerhinterziehung flöten. Reiche & Konzerne fressen uns die Haare vom Kopf, aber Politiker*innen bauen lieber das Feindbild ‚arme Menschen‘ weiter aus. Einer muss ja Schuld sein…

Ganz wichtig, dass wir das Verbrenneraus nach hinten schieben, so dass deutsche Autobauer künftig noch wettbewerbsfähiger werden.

"This is the kind of Arsenal that I really identify with. An Arsenal that won’t be bullied, where every single player runs himself into the ground, where the team seeks every single edge it can get." 👊 arseblog.com/2025/10/the-...

Even objective observers constantly fall into the trap of ascribing Trump strategic and political nous. In truth, he's nothing more than an effective troll, and his success is a product of a broken system and a dysfunctional media. Here is further proof he is entirely driven by vanity and impulse.

Der Crash, er wird kommen.

Merz' Äußerungen zur Migration sind kein Ausrutscher, sondern ergeben ein Muster. Was sie dagegen nicht ergeben: eine wirksame Strategie gegen die AfD.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you don't win a Nobel Peace Prize by invading another country under the guise of drug enforcement.
