German #police officers making up a fictitious ban against #YanisVaroufakis, allegedly issued by the German #Ministry of the #Interior, and serving this lie straight to the face of two #lawyers?

Wow.
Just wow.

I'd like to see some answers from both the ministry and the #Berlin police.

The @EU_Commission would like to have your input re: how well has the #GDPR done, since 2018.

Despite the wordy explanations in their "Call for evidence" (PDF download on that page): feel free to participate as an #individual. There is lots to say. E.g., express satisfaction that the #GDPR exists; or complain about #corporations de facto evading enforcement, by picking #Ireland's #jurisdiction, and its embarrassingly submissive Data "Protection" Commission #DPC

At least 3,542 #Palestinian #children of #Gaza are dead by now.

That means 85 children more, within the last 24 hours.

»My neighbours were coming to the hospital. So I asked, 'Where was the bombing?' And they told me, 'It was around your house.' I had to run to the location to check on the family. I tried calling but no one was answering. And as you can see… the whole house was bombed.«

Aid workers told the senators the tents were refused because they included metal poles, and the medical kits because they included scalpels. Most solar-powered equipment appears to be barred — though it is vital in #Gaza«

At least 4,008 #Palestinian #children of #Gaza are dead by now.

That means 182 children more, within the last 24 hours.

UN’s major humanitarian agencies and international charities say:

»More than 100 attacks against health care have been reported.

Scores of #aid #workers have been #killed since October 7 including 88 UNRWA colleagues – the highest number of United Nations fatalities ever recorded in a single conflict.

We need an immediate #humanitarian #ceasefire.«

»Angesichts der derzeitigen Popularität der Partei sehe ich die Gefahr, dass die #AfD das Verfahren gegen sich im Wahlkampf nutzt und hierdurch noch mehr Zuspruch erfahren könnte. Im Falle eines gescheiterten Prüfverfahrens wäre das Ergebnis die rechtliche Legitimation einer Partei. Daher ist es meiner Meinung nach sehr klug, reiflich zu überlegen.«
