🟢 Political Statement | 6/10 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 Trump suggests troop pullout from Germany, Pentagon not consulted US President Donald Trump has made an unexpected statement regarding a potential withdrawal of American troops from Germany. The proposal has stunned Pentagon officials, who were not consulted in advance about such plans. Defense officials view the announcement as abrupt and politically motivated. No official reaction has yet come from the German government or NATO leadership. Analysts note that such a move could significantly impact the European security architecture. #OSINT #NewsGroup #USA #Germany #TroopWithdrawal #NATO

🚴⌨️🚗🛩️ From bicycles and typewriters to automobiles and aircraft parts. This old powerhouse powered neighbouring factories through the German Democratic Republic and Soviet times before falling into abandonment in the 1990s. This building is a glorious example of early Art Deco industrial design. #EastGermany #Abandoned #ArtDeco #Photography #Germany #Industrial #Industry #Factory #LostPlaces

Not sure how much it's a case of women being more liberal than men over issues like immigration. I suspect it’s more that they understand that their own rights are at risk if they back illiberal trends. During the run up to the Brexit referendum I heard some people from ethnic minorities express hostility to the EU and some migrants. But they voted Remain because they perceived the Brexiteers as hostile to them too. Complacency about this is dangerous. There is usually a weak spot. The political lesbians who found themselves marginalised in the lesbian community became the vanguard of the anti-trans camp. More generally, when people want change but don't know what change they want or need (and also fear it) they are dangerous. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy082dn7rkqo #Germany #LGBTQ #youngpeople #Brexit #immigration #youngmen

German state plans to criminalize questioning Israel’s right to exist (Anadolu Agency, 2026-04-22) https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/german-state-plans-to-criminalize-questioning-israel-s-right-to-exist/3915231 ——— >> Denying Israel’s right to exist could soon be punishable by law in the southern German state of Hesse, the Zeit weekly newspaper reported Wednesday. >> Hesse’s Prime Minister Boris Rhein and his Justice Minister Christian Heinz are planning to present a corresponding bill Thursday. >> The bill is then scheduled to be introduced in Germany’s upper house, the Bundesrat, on May 8... >> Critics of the bill say the move is aimed at stifling any kind of criticism of Israel. >> German law does not criminalize the act of questioning Israel's right to exist. While German authorities have severely restricted pro-Palestinian speech, the courts have recently clarified the limits of the restrictions, ruling that the speech is generally protected by freedom of expression​​​​​​​… #FreedomOfExpression #Gaza #palestine #Germany @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

"We show that #climate litigation can lead to the implementation of significant policy changes. The paper concludes by arguing that with each successful climate case taken against a state, the corpus of international jurisprudence grows and reverberates, creating a ‘domino effect’ in climate litigation. Each judgment adds to the resource base of case law that can be cited in the future, serving to intensify the pressure on policymakers." https://www.iiea.com/publications/taking-governments-to-court/ #publicLaw #Ireland #NL #Germany

@davidgerard@circumstances.run I mean, if I were eligible to their scheme (company time + age in years ≥ 70) I'd certainly take the money, selliff my #Microsoft shares and move to #Germany and start like an #IT consultancy spechalizing in moving #Corporations from #Windows to #Linux. But I'm neither a Microsoft employee nor shareholder!

👈 Boop! Photo of me booping a giant bucket wheel excavator right on the bucket-snoot. The scale of these machines is mind-blowing! A mechanical monster that once tore through the Earth strip mining coal. This monster is long dead, its rusting hulk retired and put out to pasture. #Germany #Rust #Explore #Photography #Machine #WeirdCarMastodon #Adventure #Mining
