Die Anstalt deckt das Olligopol auf: VW, BMW, Mercedes - 3 Chefs mit dem Namen Olli, die Stütze in Milliardenhöhe suchen, weil sie den Anschluss verpasst haben.

“The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them”.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

Bei kaum einem Thema ist die Debatte von der Realität so abgekoppelt wie beim Bürgergeld.

Immer wieder stellen Politiker*innen fast aller Parteien in Talkshows das Bürgergeld als ein Riesenproblem dar und fantasieren wahnwitzige Einsparungen herbei.

The tomb of Robert Badinter was desecrated in Bagneux, just hours before his entry into the Panthéon. He was the driving force behind the abolition of the death penalty in France and decriminalization of homosexuality.

Jaja, “Russland und die Ukraine (intensivieren) die Angriffe auf die Infrastruktur des Gegners”, Russland auf Energie- und Wasserversorgung der Bevölkerung, Ukraine auf Öl- und Gasförderungsanlagen. Und man weiß auch gar nich, wie es dazu gekommen ist. Wahrscheinlich sind beide irgendwie schuld …

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
