Man weiß nicht genau: Hat die FPÖ ein Plakat für die ÖVP gestaltet oder die ÖVP eines für die FPÖ?

Hörenswerter Vergleich zwischen Deutschland der 1930er Jahre und USA der 2020er Jahre, aber glaubt ja nicht wir hätten daraus gelernt. Zu viele der 10 Punkte treffen auch auf AfD-Deutschland und FPÖ-Österreich zu.

Ein Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
#3E #GoodvsEvil
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you. Alex Pretti in nurse scrubs, smiling

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Trump is acting like an international gangster.

The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

»„Einer von uns, alle von euch“ ist ein Spruch aus Nazideutschland. Er entstand, als ein SS-Offizier in einem tschechischen Dorf getötet wurde und die Nazis daraufhin alle Einwohner des Dorfes ermordeten. Genau dieser Satz stand auf dem Pult der US-Regierung. Man muss sich das mal vor Augen führen.«
"One of ours, all of yours" is a line from Nazi Germany. It was coined when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response. This very line appeared on a U.S federal government podium. Let that sink in.

Russland lügt, führt Krieg, lügt und führt Krieg. Eine Dauerschleife aus der Hölle. In der Berichterstattung werden Russlands Behauptungen zu oft nicht klar eingeordnet. Viel zu oft gelingt die russische Desinformation. Ein aktuelles Beispiel. 1/5

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

Maduro enjoys absolute immunity as head of state. There is no justification whatsoever to kill or capture him. He didn’t start a war, he isn’t a combatant. Remember how some whined about Ukraine’s alleged strikes on Putin (which never happened)? They would actually have been legally justified.

This is as illegal as it gets. Unlike all
of his predecessors (think of Bush and the Iraq war), Trump doesn’t even pretend he cares about international law.

The U.S. carried out a “large scale strike” against Venezuela early this morning, capturing leader Nicolás Maduro and flying him out of the country, U.S. President Donald Trump said.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

I honestly don't understand why any European institution, EU-official, decision-maker of an EU member country etc. is still posting on X. It's owner literally campaigns for your destruction, despises your values and rules and you still provide his platform with reach and relevancy? Anybody home??

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.

Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.

THIS!!!!!!

(Former FM of Lithuania)
Gabrielius Landsbergis = @ @GLa...•2h X There is a glaringly obvious message for Europe in 1 the 28 point plan: This is the end of the end. We have been told repeatedly and unambiguously that Ukraine's security, and therefore Europe's security, will be Europe's responsibility. And now it is. Entirely. If you are a European leader asking your team to book you on the next flight to Washington to go talk to Daddy, please don't. Not without a plan, not cap in hand, not humiliating us all in front of the cameras at the Oval office. Europe is our continent, our future is decided here, not there. We aren't poor, we have options, we can finally decide to assist Ukraine to the full extent of our very extensive capabilities, restore European dignity and defend Europe. Or we can continue to wait for the miracle we now know is not coming.

We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.
