Study after study has shown that the ROI for foreign aid is positive and indicative of an overall positive effect for the country giving the aid.

I'm only writing that to express that there are no moral and no economical reasons to reduce foreign aid. Even the right should be in favour of aid, as it lessens the amount of immigration and asylum and has a positive effect on GDP.

The only reasons to reduce foreign aid are populism, a change in political culture of the receiver (for example giving less money to Israel) and to shuffle it around in the budget, for example what Germany did with its infrastructure costs... declaring them a military necessity to be able to increase the military budget to appease Trump while still repairing our roadways.

But that is afaik not happening here... this is stupid populism.

Oh goodness, 24 years ago I was uninformed, narrowminded and had been brought up sheltered and rather conservative. So I used to be hugely trans- and homophobic. I wasn't actively hurting or confronting anyone, but I was definitely a big part of the problem.

It actually was webcomics that deprogrammed me. That showed me a world I simply did not know but quickly felt empathy for. Those were normal, lovely people who simply existed differently from me, they weren't a threat and they had so many struggles pushed on them only for being different.

Today I'm far-left, progressive, super empathetic, happy that a lesbian friend calls me "one of the good ones" and that I, as a huuuuuge white cis guy, can be an ally and create a safe space around me for everyone who needs it.

Do you folks like coffee?
Real coffee
From the Hills
Of Colombia?

The Duncan Hills will wake you
From a thousand deaths
A cup of blackened blood
(Dying, dying)
You're dying for a cup
Guatemala blend
Ethiopian
French vanilla roast
(Dying, dying)
You're dying for a cup

Prepare for ultimate flavor
You're gonna get some now
And scream... for your cream

Heil Trump

Trump’s political signature, like all fascist signatures, has always followed only but one purpose: his. In his world, the concept of We exists only as tapestry-booster for his ego and his self-importance as a projection screen for his feverish supporters. It is a cult, not a legacy. The US president is not a king, he is a fascist.

If you want JUST DÖNER, but also crave other things.

Sorry about the image-quality, was a drive-by-📸. It says JUST DÖNER — döner and more

 

In Mannheim läuft ein großer Polizeieinsatz in der Innenstadt. Einem dpa-Reporter zufolge waren am Ort des Geschehens Trümmer zu sehen, mindestens eine Person lag demnach abgedeckt unter einer Plane. Augenzeugen zufolge war ein Fahrzeug in eine Menschenmenge gefahren.

Der Vorfall ereignete sich nach Polizeiangaben am zentralen Paradeplatz. Polizei und Rettungskräfte seien auf der Anfahrt, teilte das Polizeipräsidium in Mannheim mit. In der Innenstadt könne es zu Verkehrsbeeinträchtigungen kommen.

Die Politzei bittet darum die Mannheimer Innenstadt zu meiden

Mannheim24 berichtet

Polizei und Rettungskräfte sind vor Ort, ein Hubschrauber kreist über den Quadraten.

Laut einer Reporterin von MANNHEIM24 vor Ort wurde ein Täter gefasst, weitere Täter können aber nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Die Einsatzkräfte vor Ort stünden unter Hochspannung und können keine weiteren Informationen geben. Die gesamten Planken vom Wasserturm bis zum Paradeplatz sind vollständig abgesperrt.

Der betroffene Bereich wird evakuiert, Bürger und Bürgerinnen werden aufgefordert, die Innenstadt zu verlassen – der Fastnachtsmarkt in der Innenstadt ist geschlossen. Auch die Brücken nach Ludwigshafen werden kontrolliert, das Universitätsklinikum Mannheim hat mittlerweile Katastrophen-Alarm ausgerufen.

 

Die aktuelle "kleine Anfrage" (immerhin 551 Punkte) der Union an die Bundesregierung offenbart eine Liste der Organisationen die offenbar von der kommenden Regierung Merz als feindlich eingestuft werden und deren Fördergelder man gerne kürzen oder denen man die Allgemeinnützigkeit aberkennen möchte. Das sind unter anderem:

  • Correctiv Magazin,
  • Omas gegen Rechts,
  • Campact,
  • Attac,
  • Amadeu Antonio Stiftung,
  • PETA,
  • Animal Rights Watch,
  • Foodwatch,
  • Deutsche Umwelthilfe,
  • Greenpeace,
  • Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND)

Ich nehme das einfach mal als Spendenempfehlung

Well this is awkwardI did not know those phrases were meant to be translated, I simply ordered by nations from a very rough understanding of who goes where.

I think I always went around in my training, never through the middle. Still happy about this, my first move was a guess to orient myself and it paid off immediatly.
