🤷 Need a job? The S45, S46, S47, S8, S85 and S9 are not running in southeastern Berlin again Sunday because ... S-Bahn Berlin has no one to operate a switching yard. S-Bahn stations between Treptower Park and Schöneweide will be affected until 6pm Sunday.

Weil ein Stellwerk der S-Bahn in Schöneweide nicht besetzt werden konnte, mussten am Samstag sechs Linien unterbrochen werden. Ab 20 Uhr soll der Zugverkehr wieder anlaufen - aber nur bis Sonntagmorge...

At least the Berlin cops don't discriminate in one thing: banning protests. The swimming in the Spree protest was banned because: too risky.

Mayor Kai Wegner's (CDU) trademark project is simplifying bureaucracy in Berlin. And how? By creating a committee to decide whether boroughs or the city-state is responsible for performing certain tasks.

Fighingt bureaucracy with bureaucracy. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Neue Nationalgalerie's security provider denied a guard racially discriminated against a Black visitor from Brazil last Saturday.

Contradictory?

What used to be a battleground on April 30 is now just an open air club: Cops said Walpurgisnacht in Mauerpark was chill with fire dancers and techno.

And only one arrest was made during the Take Back the Night demo in Xberg-Fhain.

Der Tag der Arbeit ist in Berlin immer ein Tag der politischen Demonstrationen. Zugleich zieht es viele Menschen zum Feiern ins Freie. Wir begleiten Protest und Party im Liveblog.
