At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

In belastenden Momenten ist es wichtig, schnell auf Unterstützung zugreifen zu können. Eine psychische Erste Hilfe Box kann dir dabei helfen, in akuten Krisen ruhig zu bleiben und selbstfürsorglich zu handeln.
Psychische erste Hilfe BoxWAS GEHÖRT IN DIE BOX?
Tastsinn aktivieren: Fidget Toys können dir helfen, den Stress umlenken. Es gibt auch Fidget Ringe, die kaum auffallen. So kannst Du den Stress auf körperlicher Ebene
"rauslassen".

Geschmackssinn aktivieren:
Saure Bonbons oder Kaugummis können in aktuten Situationen helfen, die Aufmerksamkeit vom Stressor wegzulenken.WAS GEHÖRT IN DIE BOX?
Geruchssinn aktivieren: Starke Gerüche (z.B. Minzöl oder Tigerbalsam) können Dich dabei unterstützen, die Aufmerksamkeit umzulenken.

Positive Gefühle aktivieren:
Du kannst auch kleine Erinnerungen in deine Box packen, die dir in schweren Momenten zeigen, dass es auch gute Dinge im Leben gibt.WAS GEHÖRT IN DIE BOX?
Kognitive Ebene aktivieren: Es gibt viele verschiedene Übungen zu Entspannung und Umlenkung der Aufmkersamkeit. Suche dir passende Übungen aus und packe sie in die Box.

Hörsinn aktivieren: Musik wirkt sich auf unsere Stimmung aus - vielleicht kannst du eine Playlist machen, die Dir Hoffnung in belastenden Zeiten gibt. Oder ganz oldschool eine Kassette aufnehmen und mit Walkman in die Box packen.

0,0009 Prozent aller in Deutschland Corona-Geimpften erlitten einen Impffolgeschaden. In absoluten Zahlen: 573 von 64.900.000. Zum Vergleich: 2024 wurden 2.759 Menschen im Verkehr getötet und 363.108 verletzt — meist durch Autos. Eine Aufarbeitung der Verkehrsmaßnahmen wurde von niemandem gefordert.

When words fall short, symbols speak. Like the motifs Ukrainians paint on Pysanky, their traditional Easter eggs – symbols of resilience and hope, unbroken by Russian aggression. The EU supports Ukraine in the war and along its European path. For a prosperous, peaceful future.
A stylised map of Ukraine is shown, filled with a traditional blue and yellow Pysanky pattern. The map is centred on a textured, off-white background. Below the map, in blue text, is the message "Europe's future is written together." The European Union flag is displayed in the bottom right corner.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Tier-Comic. Ein Koala fragt eine Schlange: „Warum beginnen Menschen Kriege, obwohl sie Kekse backen könnten?“ Die Schlange antwortet: „Menschen, die einen Krieg anzetteln, lassen prinzipiell andere Menschen für sich kämpfen, machen es sich derweil mit Knusperkeksen gemütlich und gucken zu, wer gewinnt.“ Ernüchternd stellt der Koala fest: „Aber weshalb riskieren die anderen Menschen ihr Leben? Wieso bleiben sie nicht daheim und backen Kekse?“ Die Schlange meint dazu: „Weil sich leider kein Krieg führen lässt, wenn alle immer nur Kekse backen!“ Erfreut stellt der Koala fest: „Wär doch perfekt. Kekse und Frieden.“ | Bildbeschreibung von @DasTuermchen
