A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Die USA haben gerade gemeinsam mit Russland in der UNO gegen einen ukrainischen Änderungsantrag gestimmt, der den Abzug russischer Truppen aus der Ukraine verlangt. Selbst China und der Iran hatten sich enthalten. Die USA unterstützen jetzt aktiv die Besetzung ukrainischen Territoriums.

Ich wünsche mir eine Linke, die die Schwachen nicht nur im Inland verteidigt - und sich in der internationalen Politik nicht faktisch zum Büttel von Tyrannen macht

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.

Do Americans want to be aligned with Russia against all of our traditional allies in Europe and Asia? I don't think so

Some people will look at this and only see how foolish it is. But what it also is an attempt to set up a blameless, unaccountable arbiter by inserting automation into a “decision making” process. And tbh I wish more people at more news outlets would call that out.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

💥 NEW: Labour voters are *84%* for a youth mobility scheme... ...with only 6% against. What's to lose? In fact, they might even gain some of those 59% of Conservatives and 34% of Reform that support it too.

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up. It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.

A video posted this week shows Russian soldiers filming themselves executing Ukrainian prisoners of war. There has been a marked increase in videos showing POW executions, @cen4infores.bsky.social told us, with many videos filmed where the fighting is hottest. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Every critique of Westminster's unswerving support for Brexit, whether under a Tory or Labour Government, is a further strong justification for Scotland's need to regain Independence... we can't let this harm continue to be inflicted on us. #ScottishIndependence

1001 days. I remember waking up to the horrible news that Russia had invaded Ukraine. And I remember feeling very strongly, what I remain convinced of now. There is no point pretending that this is some distant thing that only happens to other people, far away. This is about our future, too.

Was mich als Journalisten bitter macht: Dass Sahra Wagenknecht wieder und wieder ins Fernsehen eingeladen wird, obwohl es dafür keinen Grund gibt. Wir dürfen uns bei so viel Willfährigkeit dann auch nicht wundern, wenn uns die Demokratiefeinde eines Tages das Fell über die Ohren ziehen.

Bodies in the streets of Odesa. Russia just sent ballistic missiles with cluster munitions warheads into busy city center mid-day. Countless dead and wounded.
