Relaying this as it has become a big story back in 🇩🇪 in the past hour. The REWE supermarket group is terminating its agreement with the DFB in protest at the statements of FIFA, pres Gianni Infantino & the world governing body’s position on the One Love armband. Quotes next.

The greatest protest photos of all time were taken 33 years ago today. On June 5, 1989, six (not four) photographers captured a lone protester facing down a column of tanks near #TiananmenSquare. This version of the“Tank Man” photo was made by @StuartAFranklin for @TIME...🧵

We spoke directly to Wayne LaPierre at the NRA Convention and thanked him for all his thoughts and prayers.

If Bucha doesn't make Germany, Italy and the rest of the EU to declare an embargo on Russian energy by Monday afternoon, likely nothing in this war will. This is not an army, not a state, this is a drug cartel with tanks. Their drug is energy and the EU are willing addicts

A simultaneous 30°C anomaly in the Arctic and 40°C anomaly in the Antarctic, among the most terrifying events scientists have recorded, was a footnote in the bulletins.
One celeb slapping another: headlines everywhere.
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a bant.

Kharkiv. Eine europäische Tragödie vor unserer Haustür. Bei allen Solidaritätsbekundungen mit der Ukraine: Haben wir begriffen, was da gerade passiert? Wenn Putin mit diesem Angriffskrieg durchkommt, ist die Büchse der Pandora weit offen. Wir tun noch nicht genug, ihn zu stoppen.

[Moritz Eckert @betterplaceMo]

@eslemanabayy Very strange opinion. Putin obviously doesn‘t need „bases all over the world to threaten sovereignty of other countries“ as we can see right now - he just kills his neighbours.

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is apparently launching a hotline for the mothers of Russian soldiers captured or killed in #Ukraine.

Smart move to reach out to families in #Russia and break through some of the Kremlin-enforced silence. https://t.co/q0pCqLmu0U

The sad thing is that if we hadn’t expanded NATO, Putin would have tirelessly devoted himself to world peace and the brotherhood of man.

Wir haben neulich Schnelltests gekauft und erst später festgestellt, dass deren Erkennungsraten extrem niedrig sind. Darüber haben wir uns so sehr geärgert, dass wir eine praktische Einkaufshilfe gebaut haben: https://t.co/g6D9dK9F8I

MSCHF bought an original Andy Warhol for $20,000 and made 999 exact forgeries.

They mixed the original in and sold 1,000 pieces that *might be a real Warhol* for $250 each.

That’s $250k 🤌🏼

Here's what they did:

@justinbaragona What the actual fuck. How come everyone else gets microchips, magnetization, 5G service and glowing blood from their vaccines, and all I got was protection from covid?
