Apokalyptische Bilder aus Kyjiw. Russische Luftangriffe töten Menschen im Schlaf. Putin setzt voll auf Terror und Vertreibung. Eine Rakete schlug direkt in einem Wohnhaus mit neun Stockwerken ein. Kriegsverbrechen.

FAZ-Meldung: "Nach Tod des Patriarchen: Industriellenfamilie Thiele zahlt vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Die Familie Thiele zahlt fast vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Der Grund: Eine Stiftung als steuergünstiges Vehikel ist zu spät fertig geworden."

FAZ-Meldung: "Nach Tod des Patriarchen: Industriellenfamilie Thiele zahlt vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Die Familie Thiele zahlt fast vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Der Grund: Eine Stiftung als steuergünstiges Vehikel ist zu spät fertig geworden."

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.

Photo of Berlin's old TV tower ("Funkturm"), taken from the exit of a nearby subway, so the tower is only half visible. The orange tiles and the modernist roof of the subway exit as well as a yellow budls and a traffic light frame the scene.

Einer der Kollateralschäden ist der Wahlausgang in Polen. Ohne Not die PiS-Partei in ihrem Unser-Gegner-ist-das-egoistische-Deutschland-Diskurs zu unterstützen, war das dümmste, was man in Berlin machen konnte.

“Every such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia,” —President Zelenskyy

Analysis: Clean energy just put China’s CO2 emissions into reverse for first time - Carbon Brief For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.

Wow - das ist eine tolle und extrem wichtige Nachricht: In China sinkt der CO2-Ausstoß, weil das Land bei erneuerbarer Energie so erfolgreich ist. Bei gleichzeitigem Wirtschaftswachstum. Das alte Argument "bringt ja nichts, wenn wir was tun, weil China!" hat sich völlig ins Gegenteil verkehrt.

Ich kenne gerade eine Menge Menschen, die es, unabhängig von ihrer politischen Haltung, extrem umtreibt, dass es in Deutschland kaum regnet.
Aber ich schätze, das meint Klingbeil nicht.

I take for granted everybody understand the Russian Easter truce is just bullshit, a propaganda thing. Russia will not stop shooting, but it will claim it did.

New Martin disclosures show outreach to right-wing politicians in Europe Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Ed Martin boosted members of Germany’s AfD, Poland’s Law and Justice, and Viktor Orban’s party in Hungary before taking office in January.

On the one hand, the Trump administration says it wants Europe to spend more on defense. On the other hand, administration officials, including DC attorney nominee Ed Martin, back pro-Russian European politicians and parties who oppose defense spending

France24 published a video from surveillance cameras in a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih on Friday.

Russia claimed that the strike was on this restaurant because "Ukrainian military" were there.

The video shows that's a lie.The strike killed 20 civilians,9 of them children.

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back.

They think it’s funny.

Jemand mit einem Funken Ehre würde nun vor die Presse treten und sagen, dass sie sich getäuscht hat. Syrien ist nicht sicher, man kann niemanden dorthin abschieben, sie würde es auch allen Syrern empfehlen, abzuwarten.

Aber auch, dass sie einen kommerziellen Messenger benutzen, um die Transparenzregeln für Regierungshandeln zu umgehen: wenn ein Gericht die Unterlagen anfordert oder frei gibt, ist einfach nichts da.
