Ich glaube, die @CDU sollte mal ein ernstes Wort mit Herrn Müller sprechen. Das ist mit Abstand das Schäbigste, was ich seit langem im politischen Raum gesehen habe.

Das berüchtigte ökosozialistische Pamphlet "Manager Magazin" hat sich mit der Energiepolitik von Katherina #Reiche auseinandergesetzt. Das Urteil, gefällt auf Basis von Gesprächen mit Vertretern der deutschen Wirtschaft, ist vernichtend.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Corporal Anicet Girardin from the injuries he sustained in the ambush of @UNIFIL_ peacekeepers that cost the life of First Class Sergeant Montorio. My deepest condolences to his friends, families, to the government of France. #NotATarget

@gitta_connemann Vielleicht sollte er Bundeskanzler werden und die CDU in die Regierung eintreten.

2/ Die Manager des Ölkonzerns TOTAL aus Frankreich verfügten seit dem Jahr 1971 über gesicherte Erkenntnisse, dass ihr Geschäftsmodell eines Tages die Lebensgrundlage vieler Menschen zerstören würde:
- globale Erwärmung
- Abschmelzen der Polkappen
- Abstieg des Meeresspiegels.

Am 24. März 1944 kommen deutsche Gendarmen. Sie erschießen erst die Versteckten, dann Józef und Wiktoria, danach auch die Kinder. 17 Menschen sind innerhalb weniger Minuten tot. Die Ulmas gelten als „Gerechte unter den Völkern“. 2/2

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that.

Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived.

This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you.

The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction.

This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third.

Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything.

A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.”

That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid.

The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical.

That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do.

Even wars have rules.

The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination.

Imagine Trump’s messages read out by the prosecution at Nuremberg. (“A whole civilisation will die tonight.”) They would have hanged any one of the defendants.

Die Cannabis Legalisierung war richtig. Sie hat wie (auch von mir) vorausgesagt nicht zu einer Zunahme des Konsums aber zu einer drastischen Senkung der Cannabis Kriminalität geführt. Es war unfair, junge Erwachsene als Kriminelle zu verurteilen. https://t.co/ccfLJkomgL

Nachdem sich, nach den Nachrichtendiensten, nun auch das #BKA gegen #Palantir ausgesprochen hat, muss A. #Dobrindt endlich von der hochumstrittenen US-Firma um Peter #Thiel Abstand nehmen. Alles andere wäre hochgradig fahrlässig und ein Sicherheitsproblem. https://t.co/MgtjK8jDCN
