Auf unserer von der Jury ausgezeichneten Themenseite #PolizeiTwitter beleuchten wir das Auftreten deutscher Polizeien in dem sozialen Netzwerk. Gemeinsam mit dem Datenjournalisten Luca Hammer analysierten wir dafür rund 163.000 Tweets. Das Ergebnis: Auf Twitter schafft die Polizei sich ihre eigene Öffentlichkeit und bewegt sich dabei im ethischen und rechtlichen Graubereich. Besonders heikel sind durch die Polizei verbreitete Falschmeldungen, etwa bei politischen Demonstrationen.

Yet every now and then, the state of the union becomes so alarming that the State of the Union acquires a new fascination, as a different kind of theater. Sometimes, it is a theater of the absurd.

EU–Parlament unterstützt Putschversuch in Venezuela
Die Unterstützung der EU für den Putsch in Venezuela entlarvt die Darstellung der EU als verglichen mit dem US-Imperialismus menschlichere und demokratischere Variante als Lüge.

Während die USA ihre Konfrontation mit Russland und China verschärfen, forcieren die EU-Staaten ihren Austeritätskurs und pumpen Hunderte Milliarden Euro in ihre Armeen, um sich am imperialistischen Wettlauf um die Plünderung von Profiten und Märkten auf der ganzen Welt zu beteiligen.
