Vier Menschen sind in den vergangenen Tagen bei Polizeieinsätzen erschossen worden. Müssen #Polizisten nach dem Einsatz von #Polizeigewalt mit Konsequenzen rechnen? Wahrscheinlich nicht. Und das ist schon seit ~30 Jahren so. Das zeigte schon der #HamburgerPolizeiskandal. THREAD.
It's hard to oversell this map - make sure to bookmark it and share it with your friends. Fantastic research that must have been soooo labour intensive: How has the population of evert single small geographic region across Europe changed from 1961 to 2024? You will want to study this map in detail. Source (keep scrolling for a while): https://t.co/2akdcsaBpm
New: A Washington Post satellite imagery review reveals that Iran has caused far more damage to US military sites than previously reported.
Amid a US imagery blackout, Iran has released more than 100 images of strikes on US bases.
We analyzed them: https://t.co/r68Qpki0TG
Saher Alghorra (NYT) has won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography for "his haunting, sensitive series showing the devastation and starvation in Gaza"
Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country

I’ve been describing the supply loss from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as an “air pocket” moving through the normal flow of oil out of the Gulf
Helpful map from JPM highlighting when that air pocket will “land” in different major consuming regions:
- East Africa last week
- East Asia this week
- Europe next week
- North America two more weeks
ICMYI: I broke down everything we know about what, specifically, Anthropic's Claude is & isn't doing inside Palantir tech used by the US military.
For the story, I carefully reviewed every relevant demo & report that Palantir & the military have ever released. Link in reply.
More of these videos showing the last terrified moments of Russian and Ukraine soldiers have come out than I could ever count. If/When these come out showing American servicemen on the other side of the lens, I wonder if there will be a push for new platform content restrictions.
Werner Herzog was on a podcast a few weeks ago defending piracy again:
"Piracy is the most succesful form of distribution nowadays. So be it. But films are accessible and this is why very young people discover them"

Satellite imagery dated Sunday, March 1, obtained by Planet Labs and Airbus Defence & Space, and analyzed by The New York Times, shows extensive damage to Naval Support Activity Bahrain, the Headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, with several buildings entirely destroyed, as a result of near continuous ballistic missile and drone attacks against the base by Iran.
