Langanhaltender Applaus fũr das Lebenswerk von Alexey Navalny - seine Frau bewegt den ganzen Raum, lange Umarmung mit Nancy Pelosi - die ihr die Hände küsst. Man fühlt, man trauert um Hoffnung. #Russia

This post is now four years old, but the sentiment has not withered over time. It is hard to believe that 24 years have passed since we last had the privilege of witnessing the world through Miguel’s eyes.

Germans have experienced the most dramatic decline in real wages since 1950 as a result of inflation. This is painful for most people and devastating for those who had low incomes to begin with. 33% of Germans with low living standards have voted for the far right AfD today.

Why we need professional journalists: JD Vance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so Kris Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.
