We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Es ist wirklich beängstigend, wie die AfD (und das BSW) mittlerweile nahezu alle deutschen Probleme der Ukraine anlastet – und wie Millionen Wähler diese Erzählung glauben.
➡️Als Deutscher macht es mir mit Blick auf unsere Geschichte Angst, dass „wir“ wieder eine kleine Minderheit für alles Schlechte und vermeintlich Böse in unserem Land verantwortlich machen.
➡️Die Realität sieht anders aus: Die Ukraine erhält in diesem Jahr 11 Milliarden Euro Militärhilfe aus dem deutschen Staatshaushalt. Selbst ohne die Sondervermögen entspricht das lediglich rund 2 Prozent der Bundesausgaben. Bezieht man die Sondervermögen mit ein, liegt der Anteil sogar unter 0,5 Prozent.
💥Und jeder Euro fließt auch in unsere Sicherheit, da wir nicht kämpfen müssen, solange die Ukraine das für uns tut. Wer das nicht glaubt, sollte sich die letzten 20 Jahren russischer Expansionspolitik einmal genauer ansehen.
➡️Ihren Hass auf die Ukraine, auf die in Deutschland lebenden Ukrainer sowie ihre Unterwürfigkeit und teils offen ausgetragene Unterstützung gegenüber dem gegen Europa Krieg führenden Russland hat die AfD in den vergangenen Monaten recht erfolgreich in ein Scheinargument umgewandelt: Deutschland gehe es schlechter, weil wir der Ukraine helfen.
🚨Ich hoffe, dass am Ende genügend Deutsche bei den anstehenden Wahlen die nötige Vernunft, historische Verantwortung und Urteilskraft beweisen, um auf diese düstere Strategie der AfD nicht hereinzufallen und stattdessen Parteien zu unterstützen, die Deutschland, Europa und die Ukraine als Priorität sehen.
Fast 500.000 russische Staatsbürger verbrachten im vergangenen Jahr ihren Urlaub in Europa. Währenddessen starben zahlreiche Ukrainer 🇺🇦 durch Russlands brutale Angriffe.
🚨 Es ist höchste Zeit, die Vergabe von Schengen-Touristenvisa an russische Urlauber zu beenden.
After every Russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..."
But we could do much more than standing around.
For example — we could create a European-Ukrainian defense union. Fund it with confiscated Russian frozen assets. Close the skies in Ukraine, making Ukraine and other frontline states safer.
These things are very possible and this work could start today.
Instead, I am sadly reminded of how Britain and France “stood with” Poland in 1939 while that country was being dismembered. It was called the Phony War, because mere declarations of “support” mean very little on the ground, and do nothing to prevent real war.
Actions always speak louder than words, and usually cost much less than inaction.
Lieber @KubickiWo, ich weiß jetzt, wo der Hammer hängt, deswegen habe ich ihn sicherheitshalber mal an mich genommen. Ich möchte ja nicht, dass du Dir versehentlich weh tust. Und jetzt lass uns lieber gemeinsam Nägel mit liberalen Köpfen machen.
If you are not making money during this run:
You are likely trading the WRONG stocks..
For the last few weeks, all I've done was:
-Focus on strong themes (Semis, space, memory)
-Buy these names on pullbacks into the EMA's
-Hold these winners & don't sell too early
Once these start building bigger bases, now you are going to look for rotation into emerging themes.
How to know where to look?
1. Start With Relative Strength
Emerging themes always leave footprints.
You’ll notice:
-Certain groups stop selling off during weak markets
-They recover faster than indexes
-Multiple stocks in the same niche begin moving together
-Volume starts increasing across the sector
For example:
$IGV was making new highs while $QQQ was still below the previous all time highs
This showed relative strength in the ETF, and software stocks began to emerge with strong setups
2. Scan Weekly Charts First
You will start noticing that when almost every stock in a sector is setup on the weekly timeframe.. and explosive move follows.
Emerging themes usually appear first on:
-Weekly bases
-Weekly breakouts
-Multi-month consolidations
For example data centers recently.. all had a massive weekly base
3. Follow Volume Closely
Volume is one of the clearest signs of institutional participation.
You will start noticing:
-Highest volume EVER print
-Accumulation volume patterns
-Low volume sell offs
-A breakout with expanding volume often signals real demand
This tells you that institutions are piling into the trade
4. Watch for “Character Changes”
One of the earliest clues is a change in behavior.
Examples:
-Stocks stop failing on breakout attempts
-Pullbacks become shallow
-Names begin closing near highs instead of lows
-Weak sectors suddenly start holding moving averages
A new theme usually starts with:
-Better closes
-Better reactions
-Better continuation
before the headlines catch up...
For example $PLTR and $HOOD in the last few days.. starting to act much better and changing their characters.
5. Track News Narratives
Themes are often tied to macro narratives:
-AI spending
-Government backing
-Defense budgets
Follow themes, and stocks that have a REASON to go higher.
For example drone stocks last week, after the news that the government might take a stake...
Now this becomes top watch.
6. Focus on the Leader (Most important)
Every theme usually has:
-a leader
-secondary names
-laggards
The leader is where institutions concentrate first.
Your goal is to find the strongest theme, the strongest sector, and the strongest stock in that sector.
Characteristics of a leader:
-breaks out first
-has the best volume
-holds moving averages best
-reacts strongest after pullbacks
Most importantly... stack probabilities
Theme + Catalyst + Setup + Leading stock = super performance
Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast.
Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!
Roger Köppel sagt in seinem aktuellen Podcast live aus Moskau, dass es „umstritten“ sei, dass Butscha wirklich passiert ist. Schon in den vergangenen Jahren hatte Köppel Lügen-Propaganda von „Russia Today“ in der WELTWOCHE über Butscha verbreiten lassen. Jetzt übernimmt er die Propagandaerzählung persönlich. Ich war damals in Butscha und habe über das Massaker berichtet, wir haben dutzende Augenzeugen interviewt, Menschen, die ihre Liebsten verloren haben. Es gibt unzählige unabhängige Berichte, Zeugenaussagen, Bilder und Berichte, die man überall finden kann, wenn man will. Aber Köppel will natürlich nicht. Alles andere würde sein Geschäftsmodell kaputtmachen.

"Taking shelter from Russia’s retaliation in a Kyiv metro station early Sunday, Nataliia Zvarych recounted a night of “horror.”" Really, CNN? Retaliation? In 1944, CNN would have called the V attacks on London "retaliation for the Allies' bombing of peaceful German cities"!
The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.
I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.
All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.
Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.
There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.
Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.
One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
“I ask myself, why do you from the AfD hate Ukraine so much? What did the people of Ukraine actually do to you that you side with putin” - Jürgen Hardt.
Jürgen Hardt, member of the German Bundestag (CDU):
“Madam President, dear colleagues, if this debate has brought clarity on one point, it is that the AfD is clearly on the side of Russia and in opposition to Ukraine. And that is a shocking finding, a shocking revelation of this debate, that a party that walks across the country saying they represent national interests, that thinks and acts, or claims to think and act, in a national German way, of all things reaches out their hand to the one who causes the greatest damage to Germans and Europeans, namely the President of Russia, putin, and does his business here in Germany.
And the voters in Germany should know that, which is why it is good that we witnessed this here today.
I ask myself, why do you from the AfD hate Ukraine so much? What did the people of Ukraine actually do to you that you side with putin and are more interested in the issues you are raising here than in the massive war crimes, starting with the abduction of children?
Thousands of children have been abducted to Russia, taken away from their parents by Russia.
putin is internationally prosecuted for this reason, he is internationally wanted. Why can't you even recognise that as a crime, instead of parroting putin?
And you begin your motion with a lie that is very telling. The second sentence of your motion claims that at the time of the bombing of Nord Stream 2, over half of the gas supply to the Federal Republic of Germany was carried out through this pipeline. That is a flat-out lie.
Weeks before, there had been... No, this is not a party convention, given the large amount of speaking time the AfD had, there is no need for further follow-up questions... All right, thank you very much, all good... So.
The situation was crystal clear: at the time of the bombing of Nord Stream 2, no gas transfer through these pipelines to Germany was taking place anymore because putin had turned off the gas tap on the Russian side. The exact opposite is true of what you said.
So.
And through this inversion of facts, your entire motion gets exactly the spin you want to give it and which we are opposing. Namely, that Ukraine is allegedly the bad guy and not putin. The truth is the opposite.
putin is harming the German people. putin is harming Europe.
Putin is killing people in Europe.
Presumably, putin’s drone misguidance ensured that yesterday, for the first time in the history of the European Union, citizens of the EU in an EU country had to go into bunkers out of fear of a drone.
And yet you say here, putin is the good guy, and this federal government and Ukraine are the bad guys.
You have completely lost your mind! Apologies for this unparliamentary expression.”

Claims that the Baltic States allow Ukraine to use their airspace are utter nonsense - and Russia knows it.
Moscow’s threats against the Baltic States are not a sign of strength, but of weakness.
Russia is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine and is trying to intimidate us into reducing our support for Ukraine.
The right response is to do the opposite: increase our support to Ukraine and boost Europe’s defences even further.
