Angelika Brotschi, an AfD politician in Böblingen, Germany, came under investigation by state security for using a historical Joseph Goebbels quote as her smartphone ringtone.
During a municipal council meeting, Brotschi's phone reportedly rang, playing the infamous quote "Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?" ("Do you want the total war?")
This phrase comes from Goebbels’s notorious 1943 "Sportpalast speech", designed by the Nazi propaganda minister to rally the German public for extreme measures during World War II.
The AfD is currently the most popular party in Germany according to the latest polls and are are expected to win the next general elections.
We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it.
We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it.
Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump.
We will see what comes of it. If Russia refuses this chance as well, additional pressure will be needed.

The Obamas unveil their first-ever commissioned portrait together, painted by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library.
Legisladores de morena y afines acuden a la embajada de Rusia a celebrar su día. Se retratan con el representante de Putin. Tratar a Rusia como si fuera parte de la comunidad de naciones civilizadas es ser cómplice de sus crímenes. Rusia es un estado terrorista y Putin un paria.

In celebration of Pride, we’re remembering those that came before. Our video scrapbook today is dedicated to the men of the war years.
For thousands of gay men, World War II served as an unintentional, massive coming out experience. For the first time ever, this “great awakening” allowed homosexuals – from farms, ranches, and small towns across the country – to discover they were not alone. On their way to the front – in cities like New York, San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles – they experienced their first contact with other men like themselves. Look at these faces. Romance couldn’t help but blossom.
But our hearts break when we contemplate what the future held. Some, separated by the exigencies of war, never knew what happened to their newly discovered “friend”. Some returned home to the life of a deeply closeted “straight” man with a wife and children. Some didn’t return at all. But the very existence of these photos, likely hidden away for years, speaks to the love these men discovered. And perhaps never found again.🏳️🌈
