Graph showing that homicide rates are more than TEN times higher in the US than other Western countries

European “global citizen” here: in most of the really-civilized world guns are simply forbidden; guess what: homicide rates are TENFOLD HIGHER in the US

I can understand that; but people were terribly lied to; apparently there are still countries in this world where that happens 😅

For documentary purposes the German Federal Archive often retained the original image captions, which may be erroneous, biased, obsolete or politically extreme.

81 years ago, on the 13th of February, a joint British and American bombing of the city of Dresden began. In four raids between the 13th and 15th, up to 25.000 people were killed. It is one of the most controversial Allied acts of the second World War. #otd #history 🗃️

Op dit schilderij uit 1774 zien we de Herengracht bij de Leidsestraat in Amsterdam. Interessant (even inzoomen) zijn de details die op dit kunstwerk te zien zijn, zoals de verschillende kleine boten in de gracht en de mensen op de straat en de brug. De schilder is Hendrik Keun.

Utrecht is beautiful 😍!

I am so glad our EV car has something they call “headlights” 😉

Complex situation

Do not be surprised to learn that quite a few European followers reading something about an unhinged US administration are less inclined to come to the US ; and yes, I have lived for a year in MN, and it is a lovely state (snow and all😅!)

I now read he claims to have autism and not be bipolar; psychiatry is a complex science 😅

You might ask the cafe owner to turn up the music 😉

De trein is heerlijk!

Glad for you!

A whistleblower recounts the horrific ICE detention center conditions in Baltimore — a similar story everywhere.

We nemen weer de hoge snelheidstrein naar Italië, heerlijk!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

The first crack in the wall: An ICE agent just quit.

Good - now worldwide please. And to all those still using X, leave now! #ElonMusk #LeaveX

It is beyond the unimaginable. Not from a low standard GOP-ish point of view, but from a mere ethical and humane point of view. And no one in their circles seems to care or mind.

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

She probably aimed (and probably got) the votes of people who had previously voted for the PVV - a pragmatic approach (but I did not vote for her anyway)

Democrat Christian Menefee wins election for US House, narrowing GOP's slim majority Democrat Christian Menefee has won a Texas U.S. House seat in a special election that will narrow Republicans’ already-slim majority.

BREAKING: Democrat Christian Menefee wins special election for Texas U.S. House seat, narrowing GOP's slim majority.

The point is that all these things should lead to a full investigation and take these complaints very seriously

Well, we know he was there on numerous occasions etc.

Elon Musk's net worth, as of January 31, 2026, is approximately $775 billion according to Forbes'. There have been ~3/4 million days since the birth of Christ. Elon created for himself over $1,000,000 a day of wealth, since 0 BCE.

He plans to more than 10x that in the next decade.

#JustSaying

There is no year 0 BCE! It is an anomaly; you go from 1 BCE directly into +1 CE
