ICE is detaining a Wisconsin State Trooper. Trooper Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe is being held at the ICE detention facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin. His attorney, Marc Christopher, says the trooper holds a valid work authorization.

The imposition of harsh penalties under national security legislation in Hong Kong and Macao SARs is deeply concerning. The second heavy jail sentence handed down to democracy activist Joshua Wong yesterday in HK translates to 16 years in detention for his exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms. In the first known case under Macao’s national security law, the court sentenced former legislator Au Kam San to 12.5 years imprisonment following closed-door hearings, in which Au was not represented by counsel of his choice. @volker_turk reiterates his call for convictions and sentences on national security grounds – in Hong Kong and Macao SARs and elsewhere in China – to be carefully reviewed against their international human rights obligations.

Es fällt so schwer, die Videos aus #Frankfurt anzuschauen. Mit Ansage lassen wir uns terrorisieren. Solche Gesichter der Plünderer kennt jeder der auch nur einmal über die Zeil läuft. Die Stadt entgleitet uns. Den Preis werden die Anständigen zahlen.

🔴 Erste detaillierte Krawallbilanz über den 31. Oktober in ganz #Deutschland: 339 verletzte Polizeibeamte - allein 180 in Frankfurt. Dort haben 75 Prozent der Tatverdächtigen einen Migrationshintergrund. In Nürnberg sind es vier von zehn. Aber nicht überall geben die Behörden darüber Auskunft. Deshalb fordern @M_Ostermann und @ruud_Koop_mans Transparenz bei der Täterherkunft #Kriminalität #Demokratie #Migration #Polizei #Sicherheit Exklusiv hier: focusplus.de/politik/gezielt…

Brett Jones, the first openly gay sheriff to be elected in Alabama, campaigned on transparency, jail reform and discontinuing the county’s contract with Flock, the controversial license plate reader system that has sparked widespread concern. wapo.st/4Ahz6YP

Dear @SecWar Pete Hegseth, You come off here, as you do everywhere, as a frat boy dickhead falsely portraying strength while being eaten up inside by fear. You reek of stupidity. I think you would fuck up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Defiant Pete Hegseth lashes out in video saying impeachment 'won't work with me' as ouster chatter reaches climax.

One day after Joshua Wong became the first person in Hong Kong to be given a SECOND prison term for national security violations, ex-lawmaker and democracy campaigner Au Kam San became the first person in Macau (the "good" SAR) convicted under a national security law. 😩

WOW. CNN’s Nicole Wallace completely fire bombs Pete Hegseth from space: WALLACE: “Pete Hegseth may be the most glaring human encapsulation of everything the American people rejected on Tuesday. Incompetent, insecure, vindictive, vain, and wholly enamored with his authority to wage an unpopular war in Iran that has driven up the price of gas, fertilizer, diesel and groceries.”

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

Umberto Eco, qui possédait 50 000 livres, disait ceci à propos des bibliothèques personnelles : "Il est insensé de penser qu'il faut lire tous les livres qu'on achète, tout comme il est insensé de critiquer ceux qui achètent plus de livres qu'ils ne pourront jamais en lire. Ce serait comme dire qu'il faut utiliser tous les couverts ou les lunettes, les tournevis ou les forets que vous avez achetés avant d'en acheter de nouveaux. Il y a des choses dans la vie pour lesquelles nous avons besoin de toujours avoir suffisamment de provisions, même si nous n'en utilisons qu'une petite partie. Si, par exemple, nous considérons les livres comme des médicaments, nous comprenons qu'il est bon d'en avoir plusieurs à la maison plutôt que quelques-uns : quand on veut se sentir mieux, alors on va au « placard à pharmacie » et on choisit un livre. un livre aléatoire, mais le bon livre pour le moment. C'est pourquoi vous devriez toujours avoir un choix nutritionnel ! Ceux qui n'achètent qu'un seul livre, ne lisent que celui-là et s'en débarrassent ensuite. Ils appliquent simplement la mentalité de consommateur aux livres, c'est-à-dire qu'ils les considèrent comme un produit de consommation, un bien. Ceux qui aiment les livres savent qu'un livre est tout sauf une marchandise."

The lack of curiosity shown by @metpoliceuk about the death of 19-year-old Zac Brettler is one of the most troubling aspects of this disturbing saga. Brettler died in November 2019 after falling from the fifth-floor balcony of a luxury apartment building overlooking the Thames
Replying to @Ian_Fraser
Zac Brettler wasn’t the only impostor in the Riverwalk apartment that night. Dave Sharma was a leg-breaker posing as a mentor. Akbar Shamji was a dilettante posing as an accomplished entrepreneur. Each was caught up in the glitzy, mercenary aspirational culture of modern London.

This is not a new development. Remember Hong Kong-Swedish bookseller-publisher Gui Minhai being abducted by Chinese security personnel in Thailand in October 2015?
Wang Jujian, a Chinese dissident residing in Japan, was recently kidnapped during a visit to meet family in Vietnam. He's now in China facing charges of "state subversion." Seems like SE Asian countries should be a no-go zone for dissidents.

Lieber Paul @ronzheimer, Sie verfolgen es sicherlich. @joshuawongcf wurde heute erneut zu weiterer Haft verurteilt. Sie waren seinerzeit einer der ersten deutschen Berichterstatter in #HongKong. Ob Sie das Thema wohl einmal in Ihrem sehr guten #Podcast beleuchten könnten ? 🙏

Note: ""I ⁠have never advocated Hong Kong independence, nor have I ever promoted the 'collapse of China' or regime change,"[Joshua] Wong said during the trial's mitigation phase. "I have also never received foreign funding or spent money to hire foreign political consultants.""
