"Tagesschau, September 11, 2026: 'The long-term victims of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 are Muslims!' Tagesschau, September 21, 2026: 'Why are so many people suddenly voting for the AfD?'" (translated)

Populism offers a product: it explains who is to blame. And the guilty have an advantage over solutions. They are much cheaper. A new school costs millions. A guilty party costs a tweet. (translated)

The fantastic, generationally popular artist Dolly Parton dies at 80 years old. A moment of reflection that will, for once, not be misused for idiotic terror propaganda... or? OR? (translated)

Moreover, it is completely understandable that people coming from a war-torn country like Morocco peacefully, decently, and humbly ask for some sympathy and help in Europe! Anyone who claims otherwise is a racist, sorry. (translated)

"Amnesty has strayed far from its original mission. They now act like the authoritarian regimes they have always tried to expose. I would not donate another cent." That's what @iseult, the granddaughter of the Amnesty founder, says. (translated)

Islamist terrorism is a core problem of our free society. If we don't name it as such, we will surrender the country to right-wing extremists. After the Pride attack, the heavily homophobic AfD is already portraying itself as the protector of the queer scene. Don't be fooled. (translated)

Amnesty has compiled a list of problematic organizations. Not a single Islamist one appears. Instead, there are numerous Christian ones, including the Catholic Bishops' Conference and the Catholic Medical Association. Amnesty has since deleted the report. (translated)

When Amnesty substantiated that there was no genocide happening in Gaza, Amnesty International reacted professionally and ... removed Amnesty Israel from their organization, shuts down the website with the genocide result, and acts as if nothing ever happened. (translated)

Oh dear, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, the man who invented an arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu, has been suspended following an investigation for sexual misconduct. The outcry in the public broadcasting service will be gigantic... or? (translated)

Surprisingly, Qatar becomes world champion. In the final, the likeable comfort state defeats Saudi Arabia. The goals for the 4:1 victory are scored by the players who received citizenship just before the World Cup: Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Serhou Guirassy, and Kylian Mbappé. (translated)

And addiction harms not only your body. It harms the entire environment. It attaches to hair, you take it to bed and to your children. Often it even creates patterns that will accompany your children forever. You don't just give up nicotine. You change your whole life. (translated)

We talk about smoking in a moralistic way like hardly anything else. As if smokers are simply undisciplined. In reality, only a few manage to stop in the long term without support. The problem is not willpower, the problem is addiction. (translated)

"For Aminata Touré, there is a hail of hate. A reader at 'Welt' notes: 'She speaks German quite well!' For AfD-affiliated commenters, it’s hard to bear when a non-white woman speaks better German than they do." (translated)

500,000 dead in Syria:😴 375,000 dead in Yemen:😴 5,400,000 dead in Congo:😴 235,000 dead in Afghanistan:😴 500,000 dead in Sudan:😴 300,000 dead in Iraq:😴 70,000 dead in Gaza, mostly Hamas terrorists: 😡 - Escalating outrage. Can someone explain this to me? (translated)

„Merz bietet derart viel Angriffsfläche - in Oppositionskreisen nennt man ihn schon den Lars Klingbeil der CDU.“ Meine @ntvde Kolumne: https://t.co/035KhTCMhw -
