"Jetzt führen sie dasselbe technologische Instrumentarium auch im Ausland ein und zwingen Länder im Austausch gegen Zollerleichterungen zum Abschluss von Starlink-Verträgen. Die US-Wahl war nicht ihr Endspiel. Sie war ihr Lackmustest."

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

Ich schaue nach langer Zeit durchaus wieder mit Optimismus wieder in die Ukraine. Und zwar, weil ihre Kriegsstrategie aufgeht. Weil sie schneller innoviert als Russland. Letztlich, weil sie ein freies Land ist. Und Russland nicht.

Die Farben des Herbst! Einen trotz allem schönen Tag!

When a bad man does a good thing, he does not cease to be a bad man. This is a complicated moment in the Middle East. Each of us must work to make sense of it. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

"Universelle Gier umschreibt besser, was eigentlich gemeint ist: Es gibt keinerlei Konzepte für die Erhaltung des sozialen Friedens, ein Gesundheitsmodell, das alle umfasst – oder gar die gerechte Aufteilung von Vermögen."

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Zur Begründung verwies sie auf Verstöße der US-Regierung gegen die Verfassung. Die Richterin betonte, es gebe keine Beweise für die von der Regierung angeführte Gefahr einer Rebellion in Chicago oder dem Bundesstaat.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

⚡️ Venezuelan opposition leader awarded Nobel Peace Prize, Trump loses out. The committee described Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as "a brave and committed champion of peace."

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Maria Corina Machado declared as the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Medicaid cuts have started. Medicaid wants a third of my disability to cover costs of meds and services; i get 1550 for schiz and they want 426 from it. All so the wealthy get tax cuts. I have military and college experience but can't get a part time job. Please repost so people know.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended. This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

POTUS telling his Generals to prepare for shooting on the opposition should top the news over one of these ritual shutdown dramas, I think

I expect that my law firm will intervene to fight against the Department of Justice in two more lawsuits today. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.💪🗳️⚖️

The goal is to normalize troops on the streets in preparation for the final phases of the coup

In his speech, Hegseth promised to continue firing officers seen as unsupportive of the president’s agenda. “For too long, we’ve promoted too many uniformed leaders for the wrong reasons — based on their race, based on gender quotas, based on historic so-called firsts,” Hegseth said.

In his speech to top military leaders, President Trump escalated his rhetoric against the “radical left,” repeatedly calling the group “the enemy within” and insisting that he should be able to use military force in American cities.

President Trump: We were a little bit threatened by Russia recently, and I sent a nuclear submarine, the most lethal weapon ever made. I announced that based on his [Medvedev's] mention of "nuclear." And it was a really stupid person who works for him [Putin] and mentioned the word "nuclear."

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."

„Der frühere 🇬🇧 Europaabgeordnete Nathan Gill (erst UKIP, später Brexit Party) hat gestanden, Bestechungsgelder aus 🇷🇺 Russland erhalten zu haben. Laut BBC geht es um acht Fälle zwischen 2018 und 2019. Gill soll für prorussische Auftritte bezahlt worden sein – auch in ukrainischen Fernsehsendern.“
