Die AfD hat gefälschte Abschiebetickets in die Briefkasten von Bürgern mit Migrationshintergrund geworfen. Ist allen klar, was das heißt? Eine rechtsextreme Partei im Bundestag, zweitstärkste Kraft in Umfragen, droht Minderheiten mit Deportation. Willkommen im Wahlkampf 2025.

@SonyDeutschland I ordered some headphones two weeks ago and the package still has not arrived. DHL are not helping and saying I should get in touch with Sony. Sony customer service is not being helpful at all. I would like a refund immediately but no one is answering!
