Politologin Münch „Der CDU droht das Schicksal der SPD“

Muss die CDU sich auf einen Abwärtstrend einstellen?

Münch: Ja, der CDU droht das gleiche Schicksal wie der SPD. Der spöttische Blick der Union auf die Verluste der Sozialdemokraten erschien mir immer schon ein bisschen verfrüht, weil relativ klar war, dass das genau die Probleme sind, die der CDU noch bevorstehen würden.

Lebanon’s Protest Movement Is Local and Organic

The protesters are asserting the full meaning of their words. They don’t just want a single ruler gone, or a single party, or even the fall of the government. They want to rid themselves entirely of the whole regime: every single member of the ruling elite, regardless of their allegiance. “All of them means all of them,” as the protesters have been shouting nationwide.

Protest gegen Firma LPT „Keines der Tiere verlässt das Labor lebend“

Wir brauchen eine Exit-Strategie für Tierversuche. Ohne das konkrete Ziel, diese abzuschaffen, werden wir Bilder wie die aus Mienenbüttel immer wieder sehen. Schon heute muss man ernsthaft an der Aussagekraft solcher Versuche zweifeln. Ein Verbot sollte das Ergebnis eines breiten gesellschaftlichen Dialogs sein, an dessen Ende dann Strategien entwickelt werden, um die wenigen derzeit nicht zu ersetzenden Tierversuche unnötig zu machen.

Gantz Says No Progress Achieved in Talks on Unity Government With Netanyahu‘s Likud

Yair Lapid, the No. 2 on the Kahol Lavan roster, said at the party meeting that a government can’t be created in the space of 48 hours, and that all Netanyahu had to agree to was to be second in the rotation – i.e., to agree that Gantz serve as prime minister first, then Netanyahu. But what Netanyahu wants is a third election, Lapid said.

“That’s what his lawyers suggested to him, that’s what he needs because of the indictments,” Lapid said.

Rabbi peace activist beaten up by extremist Israeli settlers

Rabbi Moshe Yehudai, a peace activist, was beaten with an iron rod by five extremist settlers, their faces hidden by masks, while trying to protect Palestinian olive farmers. The assault comes during a severe spike in settler violence that has even included attacks on Israeli soldiers. Settler leaders have voiced condemnations, but Israeli human rights groups say that the impunity of these young extremist settlers shows the obstacles that stand in the way of any peaceful resolution to the conflict. CNN‘s David McKenzie reports.

Senators Wyden And Paul Put A Hold On Dangerous CASE Act; Will Propose Alternative

Last week we noted that the House (overwhelmingly) voted in favor of the CASE Act, which is presented as a „small claims court“ for copyright issues, but which has significant Constitutional issues, and would almost certainly lead to an uptick in copyright trolling activity. As we noted, the bill still needed to go to the Senate, and it appears that this is (at least for now) being blocked by Senators Ron Wyden and Rand Paul who have put a hold on the bill, and will introduce an alternative approach.

The House Votes in Favor of Disastrous Copyright Bill

22.10.2019 The CASE Act also has bad changes to copyright rules, would let sophisticated bad actors get away with trolling and infringement, and might even be unconstitutional. It fails to help the artists it’s supposed to serve and will put a lot of people at risk.

Even though the House has passed the CASE Act, we can still stop it in the Senate. Tell your Senators to vote “no” on the CASE Act.
