A Black man got 60 days in jail for telling his actual name, James Bond, to a police officer when asked, because the judge ruled that he said it in a "jokingly" manner.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

Hahahaha hahahaha

The purge. Until the upper echolon of the armed forces is full MAGA. Then they will use the army against the people.

So, der Befehlshaber der Navy und der Coastguard sind nun gefeuert, der vice chef der Luftwaffe such, Generalstabschef ist nun ein Trumpists Offizier aus der Pension recycled ( nicht eben 4*). Die "Säuberungen" der Militärführung gehen weiter. Ein Staatsstreich wie im Lehrbuch.

Aldi will take a 10ÂŁ zero interest loan for a week from your credit card each time you enter their shop in Greenwich. It's a pilot robbery. www.thegrocer.co.uk/news/aldi-ta....

My American friends should watch this and then share it far and wide.

Not gpoing better for the Russians. They thought with Trump the war would be miraculously won, but it isn't. Yesterday the EU gave another 21 billion for arms for Ukraine.

After Bannons Hitler salute at the opening day of the CPAC even the leader of the extreme right wing French party RN Bardella present refused to give a speech. The US Nazis are even too (openly) Nazi for the French fascist.

Russian forces are apparently using unsecured US military satellites for their communications in the war against Ukraine. These satellites, known as UHF Follow-On (UFO), were launched into space between 1993 and 2003 to facilitate communications /2 www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Haltet uns den Lindner vom Hals. Wir brauchen Regierung, nicht einen WestentaschenTrump für ängstliche Zahnärzte.

“Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes,” Timothy W. Ryback writes in a step-by-step account:

In 1945 the USA represented 50% of the productive world economy. Now it's down to 16%, less than Germany. We don't need them. Europe is 480 million people who can read and write, unlike the trailer park based support the orange waste of a human skin commands.

This. Is. Insane.

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Germans have been subjected to covert Russian propaganda as well as overt American propaganda - jointly in support of the far-right www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/w...

Musk will now sue Bannon for not paying to use the Sieg Heil feature on Twitter

Usefully sober fact sheet on Ukraine. Please share with those who need it. understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Kurz und schmerzlos - 2025 gilt weiter:

„Von guten Mächten treu und still umgeben behütet und getröstet wunderbar so will ich diese Tage mit euch leben und mit euch gehen in ein neues Jahr.“

Any European leader who wakes up tomorrow and says confidently that Europe can rely on the USA to be a dependable defense partner, should be removed from office on grounds of wilful insanity.

Nächste Bundesregierung müsse Prioritäten grundsätzlich neu ordnen, fordert Dr. Bartels, Präsident der Gesellschaft für Sicherheitspolitik GSP e.V. Anders als die Ampel dürfe sie die Zeitenwende nicht mehr „als eine Art Spezialproblem der #Bundeswehr“ behandeln www.welt.de/politik/deut...

Vorsatz für 2025: regelmäßig (ca. 1x die Woche) auf Substack Texte zu schreiben. Themen: Geschichte des östlichen Europas, insbes. der Ukraine, das Erbe des russisch-deutschen Kolonialismus und natürlich Russlands Krieg.

Bei der Ăśbergabe der toten Geiseln zeigt die Hamas einmal mehr ihr wahres Gesicht. Eine friedliche Koexistenz mit den Terroristen ist illusorisch.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Sehr geehrte Frau Wehrbeauftragte, liebe @evahoegl.bsky.social, ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut. Auch an dieser Stelle nochmals herzlichen Dank dafür. Und ein großes Dankeschön für die guten Gespräche und Ihre wertvolle Arbeit.

Meanwhile, in Tübingen. 🥰🫶

THIS IS WHAT DICTATORS DO

🧵 1/n On February 22, 1944, Primo Levi was deported to Auschwitz. Arriving there, 95 men, 29 women of the 650 women, men, and children on this train were selected and registered as prisoners and assigned to the camp. The remaining 526 people were murdered in the gas chambers.

Hier ist sehr gut "Dolus Eventualis", der Eventualvorsatz erklärt. Es ist sogar anschaulich erklärt, warum dieser auf eine einfache Wahl zutrifft. Theoretisch kann man zusammenfassen : wer was, was er da mit AfD oder CDU wählt, der ist mit dran schuld, wenn das dann eintritt. Vorsatz.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
