Berber criticized former Chancellor Schröder. He wrote that Schröder is being celebrated in a Russian dacha under Putin's favor and shakes hands with a smile while the war he has called a war of annihilation against Ukraine continues. The author accused Schröder of placing greed and narcissism above decency and Germany's interests, labeling him as a symbol of moral bankruptcy and betrayal of one's own values. #Schröder #StandWithUkraine #PutinsLakaien #Ukraine #Politik #Werte (translated)

LilitThyra wrote that the CDU is also yielding to a massive increase in tobacco tax and is submitting to Klingbeil and the SPD. She described this behavior as "deplorable." https://t.co/OpkLRMICbX #CDU #Tabaksteuer #Politik (translated)

Miró 4d

Miró criticized that the CDU politician Alexander Räuscher only supported Ulrich Siegmund's election because he wanted to see him fail. At the same time, Miró accused CDU politicians of ignoring the disastrous situation, for which they, according to Miró, were mainly responsible themselves. https://t.co/n16rGEuAhO #CDU #Politik #Wahlen (translated)

Sabrina F. described people over fifty as the last generation raised without the internet, social networks, and digital devices, arguing that they developed independence from a young age. She recalled that at seven they had house keys, at nine they cooked for their younger siblings, and by ten they could take care of themselves. According to Sabrina F., they spent their days outdoors, often with scraped knees, and learned to handle practical matters. She also mentioned memories of the radio, black-and-white television, record players, and cassettes, as well as car trips made with a map and a packed lunch. She claimed that this generation held more vivid memories and greater trust in their instincts. #GenerazioneSopravvissuta #Memorie #CrescitaFelice (translated)

Jan Schnellenbach called it pathetic to hold a theatrical demonstration for democracy on Tuesday and then ally with the Left on Wednesday. Further moral preaching from this camp is therefore superfluous, he wrote. #Demokratie #Politik #Moral (translated)

Miró 7d

Miró wrote that the CDU does not want to raise the German flag out of its own conviction, but only under pressure from the AfD. He described the approach as deplorable. https://t.co/ZsSQZe3Ndo #CDU #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

The Spanish police have begun the evacuation of the last large migrant camp on El Trampolín beach in Ceuta, where about three thousand migrants lived under dreadful conditions, and the first phase of the evacuation proceeded without major incidents. #Ceuta #Migratie #SpaansePolitie (translated)

Oliver claimed that a secret picture of the founding of Lufthansa shows that there was still a pilot at that time. The first flight was from Ankara to Berlin and was dedicated to the Turkish builders of the city. https://t.co/3Ap5mQmG7m #Lüfthünsa #Fluggeschichte #Türkei (translated)

The author wrote that schools were deteriorating, streets had potholes, pensions were miserable, and housing benefits were being cut. At the same time, Merz promised to send even more money from Germany to Ukraine. The author asked whether the AfD shouldn't already be at 51 percent nationwide for this reason. #Politik #AfD #Deutschland #DE #UA (translated)

DBerber criticized that Russian trolls were spreading the claim of NATO's eastward expansion under his posts every day. He called it a lie and claimed that Mikhail Gorbachev had clarified that there had been no contractual promises against NATO expansion. The Soviet Defense Minister Marshal Yasov had also admitted that such guarantees had never been discussed, DBerber wrote. He accused the trolls of repeating Putin's propaganda and urged them to present arguments or leave his timeline. He wished his other followers a relaxing weekend and wrote that he would spend the time with friends and his Ukrainian husband. #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen #FaktenStattPropaganda #Wochenende #SchlussMitDenLügen (translated)

Baha wrote that he remembers days of critical reports about a collaboration between CDU and AfD at the municipal level, even during primetime on public broadcasting. Now, SPD, Greens, and Left are negotiating in the capital about anti-Semitism, while the media outrage is absent, he criticized. He described the lack of outrage as pathetic. #Politik #Mediation #Antisemitismus (translated)

The most pathetic moment in the Thuringian State Parliament: Millionaire Kerkeling, who probably lives in some upscale suburban district, far removed from the realities of ordinary people, attempts to justify a ban procedure with emotional mumbo jumbo and a culture of guilt. https://t.co/IJV3h3ScIz #Thüringen #Politik #Gesellschaft (translated)

Uncritically accept every Hamas propaganda, but calm and placate during the attempted terrorist attack on the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Pathetic. #Hamas #Terrorismus #FlugSicherheit #AE #IL (translated)

I had everything in the GDR and yet I just wanted to get away from there. My parents belonged to the upper class, if there was even such a thing in the GDR, or if one was allowed to call it that. They built a house (1976-78), took out a loan for 70,000 marks for it, and paid it off by 1988. The house was then debt-free. Additionally, my family received a Wartburg 353 as a gift in 1978 from an uncle in Munich through GENEX. It cost a little over 10,000 DM at the time. So there was more in the family than with the average GDR citizen, and yet I was completely fed up. Why? Well, on one hand, I was annoyed by this scarcity economy, where you had to wait for hours for everything, only to not get it anyway. Wasted and squandered life time. On the other hand, there was this constant, unbearable propaganda. Everywhere were stupid left-wing slogans, at work cash bonuses were distributed since the plan was always exceeded, only that nothing of it was visible in the shops. Then there was the unbearable living situation for many GDR citizens, because only a few could afford to build a house. Even the new apartment blocks (plattenbau) were the exception and not the rule. 70 percent of people lived in miserable shacks, that's just a fact. Thank goodness I was able to leave this miserable state in 1984 and build a good life for myself in the Federal Republic. And today I look in disbelief at Berlin, where they elected the left losers again – who can do nothing but spend other people's money – back into power. If I were living in Berlin today, I would pack my bags again and flee. Photo: My last evening in the GDR #DDR #deutscheGeschichte #Wende (translated)

Ex-Left leader Jan van Aken: "What the Office for the Protection of the Constitution says is completely irrelevant to me." But now suddenly. When it comes to the AfD, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is of course a holy institution for the Left. What a pathetic hypocrite. https://t.co/BrL1RJNA6s #Politik #Heuchelei #Verfassungsschutz (translated)

Es ist immer wieder FANTASTISCH, wie Robert #Habeck mit einem einzigen reflektierten öffentlichen Auftritt zuverlässig einen zweiwöchigen Totalausfall der deutschen Populismusindustrie auslöst. Ein paar ruhige, differenzierte Sätze – und schon werfen sich Kolumnisten, Kulturkämpfer und Empörungsunternehmer im Schichtbetrieb auf jedes einzelne Wort, bis auch der Letzte bewiesen hat, warum diese Art von Öffentlichkeit inzwischen so erbärmlich berechenbar ist. #Politik #Öffentlichkeit #Populismus

Nell'Ucraina occupata, la crisi alimentare è così grave che a Oleshky i civili sono costretti a nutrirsi di erba a causa della mancanza di viveri e medicinali da maggio, mentre sono intrappolati tra mine e droni russi. #Ucraina #CrisiUmanitaria #Fame

Nell’Ucraina occupata si muore di fame: “A Oleshky costretti a mangiare erba”

Was für ein erbärmlicher Mensch muss man als Antifa-Fotograf sein, Leute auf einer Trauerwache zu fotografieren und sie dann auf der linken Plattform „Dokunetzwerks Rhein-Main“ öffentlich an den Pranger zu stellen? Doch damit nicht genug, die beiden Linksextremisten wurden ihrerseits entarnt und von Christopher Albrecht @ChrisKnsrvt auf X veröffentlicht. Johannes F. und Tim D. fordern nun Albrecht auf, ihre Bilder zu löschen. Dazu erhielt er zwei anwaltliche Unterlassungsbegehren mit Frist bis zum 29. September 2026. Zudem soll er eine strafbewehrte Unterlassungserklärung abgeben. Bei Nichtbefolgung drohen die Fotografen mit rechtlichen Schritten. „Dokunetzwerk Rhein-Main“ wirft den trauernden Angehörigen von Migranten-Opfer vor, sie würden schwere Gewalttaten und Anschläge in Deutschland instrumentalisieren, um rassistisch motivierte Stimmung gegen Geflüchtete und Menschen mit Migrationsgeschichte zu erzeugen. #Antifa #Rechtsextremismus #Meinungsfreiheit

Economie en begroting staan – terecht – zeer hoog op de agenda. Wat echter te weinig wordt beseft, is dat de basis van onze welvaart, inclusief een sterke middenklasse, de vrije samenleving is. Er zijn diverse oorzaken aan te wijzen voor de erbarmelijke toestand van onze #Economie #VrijeSamenleving #Middenklasse #NL

La voce di Elena Pero era un suono familiare, di quelli che si riconoscono a istinto. Come il modo di scampanellare al citofono del fidanzato, oppure il rumore della serranda al mattino. Banali consuetudini, che finiscono per diventare parte del modo in cui stiamo nei giorni. Parte del modo in cui li ricordiamo. La voce di Elena è stata mille pomeriggi, mille notti e qualche alba commovente. È stata erba, cemento e terra. È stata fusi orari e continenti. Anni, stili, cambiamenti. Sempre, ha accettato l’onore di raccontare la vittoria e l’onere di riempire il silenzio della sconfitta. Sorrido, pensando a quante volte l’abbiamo sentita esclamare “Ouch!” quando in campo qualcosa andava storto. L’espressione massima di disappunto, la furia cieca di un peluches. Quando, invece, di fronte a lei succedevano meraviglie, il tono diventava squillante come quello di una bambina. Non aveva alcuna importanza chi fosse a compierle, perché era chiaro come il Sole, che al di sopra dei singoli lei amasse il tennis. Elena ha portato via con sé la voce e un pugnetto di grazia che serviva dannatamente a questo mondo. Oggi tocca a noi riempire il silenzio che ha lasciato. Scusa, Elena, forse qualcosa andrà storto perché non sappiamo come si fa. Ouch! #tennis #elenapero #tennis #ricordi #voce
