Great idea. Gotta get rid of the psycho nazis first. "The wealth tax approach, they wrote, "is effective because it targets all forms of tax optimization, whatever their nature. It is targeted, as it applies only to the wealthiest taxpayers, and only to those among them who engage in tax avoidance.""
"Und ganz nebenbei wird hier auch noch [von #Brantner, #GrĂŒne] suggeriert, dass die #Linke â parlamentarisch und auĂerparlamentarisch â keine anderen Argumente und Forderungen vertreten wĂŒrde, als #Israel von der Landkarte löschen zu wollen.

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, African Stream published its final video, a defiant farewell message. With that, the once-thriving pan-African media outlet confirmed it was shutting down for good. Not because it broke the law. Not because it spread disinformation or incited violence. But because it told the wrong story, one that challenged U.S. power in Africa and resonated too deeply with Black audiences around the world. When Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused it of being a Kremlin front, Big Tech didnât hesitate, and within hours, the platform was erased from nearly every major social media site.
An important detail here is that Jesus and the disciples were headed into an enemy stronghold, home of the Gadarene demoniac. Sometimes the storm in our lives is because weâre on assignment and on the right path, yet we need more Jesus and less fear.

Tucker Carlson's latest interview with the president of Iran is even more evidence that Carlson is not a journalist, he is a CIA actor playing a role of a regular, based American.
Listen to Nick Fuentes break it down and explain why he doesn't trust Carlson even a little bit. (Begins at 2:06:47)
well, Carlson was never an actual journalist. The way i see it, a real journalist reports facts and leaves drawing conclusions to the receptient, which is hardly what Carlson is doing.

A friend who was until recently a long-time V.A. employee informs me that even what seems like moderately good news is misleading: The Trump regime is dialing back the number of firings "partly because their initial tactics (threats, coercion, etc.) were so effective" at gutting the institution.
For #Ubuntu at-least (I don't run RedHat/ Fedora):
Edit /etc/default/grub as root.
In the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="...", add (or append) panic=0.
Followed by: sudo update-grub. (Takes effect on reboot).
This will prevent your Linux system from launching a #DebugShell if an attacker repeatedly enters a wrong passphrase for decrypting your Luks #boot #volume.
So that requires someone to have physical access to your machine *and* have your user password (since sudo). Yeah, appending `panic=0` to the default commandline are the least of my worries at that point
And the malicious actor could just as easily be a government agent that has gained physical access to your device.
The mitigation prevents the attack by removing the ability for the system to launch a debug shell when incorrect decryption passphrases are entered a number of times.
Israel continued its genocidal onslaught on Gaza, with medical sources telling Al Jazeera that at least 30 Palestinians had been killed since dawn on Tuesday.
âIt was a sleepless night here in Gaza, marked by an intensification of air attacks and the use of multiple aerial vehicles, including fighter jets, drones and helicopters to pummel residential areas and spaces that had been designated as âsafe zonesâ,â Al Jazeeraâs Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.
At least nine Palestinians were killed during an Israeli drone attack on a tent sheltering displaced #Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area near Gazaâs southern city of Khan Younis.
In a separate dawn attack, two people were killed and others injured in Israeli air raids on the Hakr al-Jami area in Deir el-Balah, the Wafa news agency reported, citing medical sources.
An Israeli airstrike targeted tents sheltering displaced families in the Sanabel camp, Khan Younis, killing five freed detainees from the West Bank:
* Amjad Abu Arqoub from Hebron
* Reyad Asalia from Jerusalem
* Naji Abiat from Bethlehem
* Mahmoud QaâŠ

A pool heat pump is an excellent investment for extending your swimming season and enjoying comfortable water temperatures year-round. However, selecting the right pool heat pump for your pool requires careful consideration of factors like climate, pool size, and energy efficiency. With so many options available, how do you choose the best one for your needs? This guide will help you navigate the decision-making process.
Understanding Pool Heat Pumps Pool heat pumps work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the pool water. Unlike gas heaters, which generate heat through combustion, heat pumps are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They are ideal for maintaining consistent water temperatures, especially in moderate climates.
Key Factors to Consider 1. Climate Your local climate plays a significant role in determining the type of heat pump you need. Heat pumps rely on ambient air temperature to operate efficiently, so they perform best in regions where temperatures rarely drop below 50°F (10°C). In colder climates, the efficiency of a standard heat pump may decrease, and it may struggle to maintain desired water temperatures.
For cooler regions, consider a cold-climate heat pump, which is specifically designed to operate efficiently in lower temperatures. These models often include features like variable-speed compressors and advanced defrost systems to ensure reliable performance even in chilly weather.
2. Pool Size The size of your pool is another critical factor. Heat pumps are rated by their BTU (British Thermal Unit) output, which indicates how much heat they can generate. Larger pools require higher BTU ratings to heat the water effectively. To determine the appropriate size, consider the following:
Pool Volume: Calculate your poolâs volume in gallons.
Desired Temperature Rise: Determine how much you need to increase the water temperature, factoring in the average air temperature in your area.
Heating Time: Consider how quickly you want to heat your pool. Faster heating requires a higher BTU rating.
A general rule of thumb is to choose a heat pump with a BTU output that matches your poolâs volume and heating needs. For example, a 100,000 BTU heat pump is suitable for a medium-sized pool, while a 140,000 BTU model may be necessary for a larger pool.
3. Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency is a major advantage of pool heat pumps, but some models are more efficient than others. Look for the Coefficient of Performance (COP), which measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. A higher COP indicates better efficiency and lower operating costs.
Additionally, consider heat pumps with features like variable-speed fans or digital controls, which allow you to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.
4. Installation and Maintenance Proper installation is crucial for maximizing the performance and lifespan of your heat pump. Ensure the unit is placed in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow, as restricted airflow can reduce efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the evaporator coil and checking refrigerant levels, will also help maintain optimal performance.
Conclusion Choosing the right pool heat pump involves balancing your climate, pool size, and energy efficiency needs. By selecting a model that matches your specific requirements, you can enjoy a comfortably heated pool while minimizing energy costs and environmental impact. Whether you live in a warm or cooler climate, thereâs a heat pump designed to meet your needs.
Investing in the right pool heat pump not only enhances your swimming experience but also adds value to your home. With proper research and professional guidance, you can find the perfect heat pump to keep your pool at the ideal temperature all year round.

Eine hausinterne Handreichung der Stiftung GedenkstĂ€tten Buchenwald und Mittelbau-Dora fĂŒr Mitarbeitende der Bildungsabteilung und der Security unter dem Titel
"Problematische Marken, Codes, Symbole und Zeichen rechtsradikaler und antisemitischer Gruppierungen"
soll auf Empfehlung des OLG PrÀsidenten an die gesamte Justiz des Landes Schleswig-Holstein gegangen sein.
Darin wird der legitime Protest und Widerstand der PalĂ€stinenser:innen gegen die kolonialistische Besiedlung des Westjordanlands und die genozidale KriegfĂŒhrung Israels in Gaza umfassend auf den Nenner des israelfeindlichen Antisemitismus gebracht und damit delegitimiert.
Bitter und inakzeptabel daran ist auch, dass der antifaschistischen Mobilisierung in De schwerer Schaden zugefĂŒgt wird, indem eine wichtige Institution des Gedenkens an den Widerstand gegen den NS-Faschismus der rechtsextremen Regierung Israels kritiklose UnterstĂŒtzung gewĂ€hrt und kein VerstĂ€ndnis fĂŒr PalĂ€stinenser:innen als vom Holocaust mittelbar betroffene Menschen aufzubringen scheint.

»We find that left and progressive programs are more popular among SD potentials. Culturally conservative positions like strong reduction of immigration make programs much less popular. This strategy that many social democratic parties are currently drawn to reduces support in our analysis.«
»Overall, our findings speak against many common narratives in the media but also among social democratic politicians. Most of all, they contradict the idea that social democratic parties have lost support because they are too progressive on issues such as immigration or gender equality.«

I was excited to score permits for Olympic National Park for the holiday weekend. The ranger accurately described the difficulty and steepness of the trail leading up to Hoh Lake, but didnât quite mention that the trail has been effectively abandoned.

@Emmanuel Florac Well if that is true, then we haven't really hit the peak just yet now have we? Depending on one's view, the trend is leaning to much more degeneration before anything sensible becomes possible.
@Carter Braxton what's pretty striking is that in France there are currently 330000 homeless people. In Brazil, which has 3 times the population, there are... 330000 homeless people. Says a lot uh ?
@Emmanuel Florac Yes it says housing has become next to impossible for many, world wide and that, that observation may just be a symptom of an even glaring ailment.
