If that's the source, it's not even clear Sixtus has a visa (or would need anything but a tourist visa).

Neither interpretation or State's is accurate. Someone can help w/German nuance, but not complaining is different than celebrating.

This all feels like Darren Beattie's work bc he's so sloppy.

Translation includes:

from ZDF screenwriter and publicist Mario Sixtus, published just hours after the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, marks a moral low point.
Anyone who speaks like this exposes themselves: not as a democrat, but as a cynic who tramples on the foundations of our free order

Here's one of the posts that State listed as foreigners whose visa they stripped. Ask yourself, how they found this? Unlike the others, it doesn't mention Kirk, nor anything in English.

It likely came from this Facebook post.

„Wenn Faschisten sterben, jammern Demokraten nicht.“
Dieses widerwärtige Zitat des ZDF-Drehbuchautors und Publizisten Mario Sixtus, veröffentlicht nur Stunden nach dem Attentat auf Charlie Kirk, markiert einen moralischen Tiefpunkt.
Wer so spricht, entlarvt sich selbst: nicht als Demokrat, sondern als Zyniker, der das Fundament unserer freiheitlichen Ordnung mit Füßen tritt. Wer den Tod eines politischen Gegners feiert, beweist nicht Haltung, sondern bestätigt, dass er in Wahrheit keinerlei Respekt vor der Demokratie hat – denn Demokratie lebt vom Wort, von der Debatte, vom Streit der Argumente, nicht vom Hass auf Menschenleben.
Ja, Charlie Kirk hat radikale Positionen vertreten, ja, er war streitbar und unbequem. Aber er hat die Debatte gesucht. Und solange Debatte, Rede, Diskurs möglich ist, gibt es einen zivilisierten, legitimen Rahmen. Gewalt, Häme über den Tod und Entmenschlichung gehören nicht dazu.
Darum sage ich es klar: Jeder, der sich über den Tod eines Menschen freut, disqualifiziert sich selbst als Demokrat. Wer vorgibt, gegen Unmenschlichkeit zu kämpfen, dabei aber selbst unmenschlich handelt, ist ein Heuchler.
Der Fall zeigt erneut, wie tief die Risse in unserer Gesellschaft sind – und wie groß die Gefahr, dass die selbsternannte „moralische Elite“ in Wahrheit jede moralische Orientierung verloren hat.

… and Ukrainians, who are given decent accommodation and psychological support, able to work from day one, don't inspire violent “protests“, and according to a report boosted the economy by €3.5bn last year.
I wonder if there are any lessons to be learned here.

Dat veel gevluchte Oekraïners hier een baan hebben, is langer bekend. Nu is het voor eerst berekend hoeveel dat de Nederlandse economie eigenlijk oplevert: miljarden euro’s per jaar. En de impact kan nóg groter worden, aldus onderzoekers.

Fascinating thing about the Dutch obsession with asylum is that the Netherlands is running a unique experiment with two groups: non-European refugees, who are cooped up in abysmal conditions, excluded from everything and blamed for social disruption, petty crime and inciting far-right hooliganism …

The report on the use of AI in UK schools, commissioned by Oxford University Press (OUP), found that just 2% of students aged between 13 and 18 said they did not use AI for their schoolwork, while 80% said they regularly used it.

Pupils fear AI is eroding their ability to study, research finds

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Mamdani's primary campaign was brilliant and exciting. His general election campaign has been less exciting but equally savvy. He 1. broadened his voting base and 2. courted the Dem establishment without 3. sacrificing any parts of his very-progressive platform.

Zohran Mamdani Is Threading One of the Trickiest Needles in Politics

For the general election, Mamdani has managed to expand his base while staying basically true to his primary-season beliefs. There’s a lesson in there for all Democrats.
