Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.

Horrendous. Let's all see this for what it is: the unprovoked execution of an innocent woman by federal agents in the streets of Minneapolis.

Rassismus in Wilhelmshaven: Kind stirbt bei mutmaßlichem Brandanschlag Bei einem Feuer in einem Mehrfamilienhaus in Wilhelmshaven starb ein vierjähriges Kind. Die Familie hatte zuvor rassistische Anfeindungen erlebt.

WTF: Warum gibt es dazu keinen Brennpunkt und keine Sondersendung.
Das Deutschland, dass wir kriegstüchtig verteidigen sollen, bricht uns unter unserem Hintern weg, und (fast) keinen juckts.
Die offene Gesellschaft muss auch im Inneren verteidigt werden

I'm floored.

This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.

This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.

The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.

There will be no kings.

At open days, parents often ask us what sorts of careers are supported by a degree in philosophy. Nice to be able to add pope to the list.
