A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation.

We are now reporting more on Trump’s insults or false announcements on social media than on the complete strategic failure this war represents. Trump isn’t going crazy. He is following his usual playbook. Divert attention, and the media falls for it again.

All diese Headlines, die darauf hinweisen, dass das neue israelische Gesetz auf den „Terrorismus“-Vorwurf zielt, sind insofern irreführend als der springende Punkt die ethnische Herkunft ist. Jüdisch-israelische Siedler, die schwere Gewalttaten begehen, sind ausgenommen.

"The West" didn't just look away when the #genocide in #Gaza was at its height, it actively supported the slaughter. I suspect that we'll just watch the genocide that is beginning to unfold in #Lebanon - but we certainly won't stop Israel's terror regime from executing its ethnic cleansing plans.

As Israel prepares to implement the ‘Gaza model’ in Lebanon, where is the international reaction? | Ben Reiff

In last US election, wealthiest 100 Americans’ donations went 80% to Trump’s Republicans. Reading Tim Wu on Curse of Bigness and German monopoly industrialists propping up Hitler at a crucial time and really wishing US billionaires were less self-interested and more fearful of history.

Professur auf Lebenszeit: Jackpot? Tollster Job der Welt? Erlösung? Entschädigung für alle Entbehrungen? Schlüssel zum Lebensglück? Nö — sehe ich anders. Mein Blick aufs #ProfessurHaben hat sich verändert: Ich will keine mehr. Plädoyer für Realismus & Eingestehen eigener Wünsche! ⬇️ #ArbeitInDerWiss

Lebensglück nur mit Professur?

Jackpot? Tollster Job der Welt? Erlösung? Entschädigung für alle Entbehrungen? Schlüssel zum Lebensglück? Warum ich inzwischen bezweifle, dass das für die Professur gilt.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot

It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Da gerade (zu Recht) viel Empörung zu lesen ist über die Festname des 5-Jährigen in den USA, ein kleiner Reminder: Letztes Jahr haben deutsche Polizisten ein 10-jähriges syrisches Mädchen aus ihrer Schule gezogen, um sie abzuschieben. Mit ihr wurden 2025 über 3000 Minderjährige aus 🇩🇪 abgeschoben.

On Tuesday, the Israeli military invaded Birzeit University, attacking students with live ammunition. Israel's scholasticide is a core part of its attempt to obliterate the collective life of the Palestinian people. We have written to Yvette Cooper urging the British government to take action.

Letter from the University and College Union (UCU), dated 8 January 2026, from general secretary Dr Jo Grady to the UK foreign secretary. The letter condemns Israeli military attacks on Palestinian education, including a raid on Birzeit University, calls these actions “scholasticide,” and urges the UK government to hold Israel to account through diplomatic, military and economic sanctions.

Beyond the media's omission of migrants navigating a path to ILR paying thousands of £ for the NHS, visa fees, NI, etc., and of any opposing views, this to me is as clear a plan to strip dignity away from those who choose to build a life here as can be. And it's been given legitimacy.

Reform plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrants

The party says scrapping the scheme and restricting migrant access to benefits will save hundreds of billions of pounds.
