Former President Donald Trump’s social media company outsourced jobs to workers in Mexico even as Trump publicly railed against outsourcing on the campaign trail and threatened heavy tariffs on companies that send jobs south of the border.
The firm’s use of workers in Mexico was confirmed by a spokesperson for Trump Media, which operates the Truth Social platform. The workers were hired through another entity to code and perform other technical duties, according to a person with knowledge of Trump Media. The reliance on foreign labor was met with outrage among the company’s own staff, who accused its leadership of betraying their “America First” ideals, the person said.
Thousands of people have joined the Women’s March in Washington DC as a feminist show of strength and to drive support towards the person vying to be the first woman elected president of the United States.
In their chants and on their signs, those in the crowd on Saturday, local time, found some creative ways to make their feelings known.
It came amid national debates about legal access to abortion and a woman’s right to make choices about her own body ahead of the US presidential campaign.
With the vote just days away, those on the street had several very clear and very clever messages for Republican nominee Donald Trump, including:
“We need a leader not a creepy tweeter.”
“Uncle Sam stay outta my clam.”
“Roe, Roe, Roe your vote.”
“No sex with men until Roe comes back.”
“Grab him by the ballot.”
“Sometimes you gotta flush twice.”
The march was not a campaign event, but the Women’s March organisers billed the event as a “powerful reminder to those in power that we are watching and demanding accountability – and that this November, women will win the White House”.
The event featured speeches from prominent activists emphasising a future free from domination and violence and who rallied the crowd before taking the streets.
The march moved from Freedom Plaza, past the Washington Memorial and up to the White House.
The crowd was overwhelmingly in favor of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Women have been a key voting bloc for Ms Harris, who has been hoping to not just inspire Democrats to get out and vote, but to convince Republicans to switch sides.
She was recently endorsed by high-profile Republican Liz Cheney.
Women marching on Washington became a regular occurrence after Trump’s victory in 2016, and on Saturday the crowd chanted: “We won’t go back.”
Thousands of women rallied Saturday in the nation’s capital and elsewhere in support of abortion rights and other feminist causes ahead of Tuesday’s election.
Demonstrators carried posters and signs through city streets, chanting slogans such as: “We won’t go back!” Some men joined with them. Speakers urged people to vote in the election – not only for president but also on down-ballot issues such as abortion-rights amendments that are going before voters in various states.

In Kansas City, Missouri, rally organizers urged people to sign up to knock on doors in a get-out-the-vote push for an abortion-rights measure.

Abortion rights has passed inflation as the top issue in the presidential election for women under age 30 since Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee against Donald Trump, according to a survey of female voters by KFF.
Ballot initiatives have surged in response to the 2022 US supreme court ruling that ended the nationwide right to abortion and shifted the issue to states.

Nine states will consider constitutional amendments that would enshrine abortion rights: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada and South Dakota. Most would guarantee a right to abortion until fetal viability and allow it later if necessary for the health of the pregnant person.
A proposed amendment in New York doesn’t specifically mention abortion but would prohibit discrimination based on “pregnancy outcomes” and “reproductive healthcare and autonomy”.
Some of Saturday’s rally participants also advocated for LGBTQ+ rights, higher wages, paid sick leave and greater efforts against gun violence.
Da ausgesprochen schönes Herbstwetter war, nutzte ich den Nachmittag, um mit dem Zug nach Köln zu fahren und in Ruhe durch die Stadt zu schlendern. Vom Hauptbahnhof aus fuhr ich mit der Straßenbahn bis zur Haltestelle Zoo/Flora, um den Forstbotanischen Garten, die Kölner Flora, zu besuchen. Ich wollte sehen, welche Blumen zur Zeit blühten. Die Blumenbeete waren für neue Bepflanzungen im Frühjahr bereits vorbereitet, nur die Stamm-Rosen blühten noch unermüdlich.

Um zum Neumarkt zu kommen, nahm ich die Straßenbahn. Dazu ging ich zunächst an der Außenmauer des Zoos vorbei, an der einige der Zoo-Bewohner bildlich dargestellt sind.

Wie immer, wenn ich in der Nähe bin, besuchte ich auch dieses Mal die AntoniterCity-Kirche auf der Schildergasse. Es ist ein Ort, in dem man völlig zur Ruhe kommen kann. Dort kann man Kerzen für Menschen anzünden, die einem wichtig sind, und seine Hoffnungen und Wünsche in das dafür vorgesehene Buch eintragen.
AntoniterCity-Kirche auf der Schildergasse in Köln
Die evangelische „AntoniterCityKirche“ wurde ursprünglich als Kirche der ab 1350 erbauten Klosteranlage der Kölner Antoniter-Ordensgemeinschaft errichtet. Sie ist durch ihre Ausstattung und ihre Geschichte sowie ihre darüber gelebten Traditionen heute ein „Sinnbild für Frieden, Verständigung und Toleranz“.
Die AntoniterCity-Kirche, ein Ort der Ruhe
In einem Seitenschiff der AntoniterCity-Kirche hängt Ernst Barlachs berühmter Bronze-Engel, der „Schwebende“, an Ketten. Es ist einer der drei Nachgüsse, der Erstguss war verloren gegangen. Als Ernst Barlach die Figur modellierte, muss er an seine Künstlerfreundin Käthe Kollwitz gedacht haben, denn Der „Schwebende“ trägt ihre Gesichtszüge.

Auf dem Weg zum Hauptbahnhof sah ich mir noch die Dominikanerkirche St. Andreas und die Kirche St. Mariä Himmelfahrt an.
Auch nach so vielen Jahren bin ich immer wieder vom Kölner Dom beeindruckt. Mit einer Höhe von 157 Metern ist der Dom das dritthöchste Kirchengebäude der Welt, es ist ein Meisterwerk mittelalterlicher Baukunst. Der Kölner Dom ist das Wahrzeichen Kölns und Deutschlands Sehenswürdigkeit Nummer eins: Über sechs Millionen Menschen besuchen jährlich die UNESCO-Welterbestätte.

Vom Dom aus ging in über die Deutzer Brücke auf die andere Rheinseite und konnte das schöne Köln-Panorama von Köln-Deutz aus sehen.

Für viele Kölner ist Köln die schönste, interessanteste und beste Stadt der Welt. Das klingt zwar für Nicht-Kölner etwas großspurig, denn es gibt sicherlich größere und aufregendere Städte als Köln. Aber für die Kölner ist das „Jföhl, dass es unser geliebtes Kölle gibt“, enorm wichtig.

Anteontem, quando fiquei sabendo do voo do pianista Arthur Moreia Lima revivi minha infância. Meu pai, em sua simplicidade, adorava a música clássica. O velho motor rádio fazia com que ele se transformasse durante um programa nos anos 70.
Quando mudamos para a cidade ele me matriculou com a melhor professora de piano do lugar. Durante um bom tempo, lá ia eu, atravessar a cidadezinha, com suas ruas cinzas, de paralelepípedos, como se fosse enviada para o castigo. E vivi grande parte daquilo entre sonatas e adágios. Arthur era o pianista preferido do meu pai. Era espetacular vê-lo, em sua cadeira de balanço agitar os braços no ritmo do prelúdio 23.
Recordar esses momentos foi como atravessar de novo aquela rua comprida e suas casas de cada lado, até a casa de d. Margarida. Sentar-me na cadeira ao lado dela e torcer para não errar a partitura. Era um ritual mágico e lindo. Muitas vezes via meu pai olhando escondido na janela. Não sei se era apenas para vigiar e descobrir se eu tinha ido mesmo à aula, ou se ele apenas queria me ouvir tocar.
Escrevi sobre isso aqui, mas de tudo que me lembro e me enternece ainda hoje foram os paralelepípedos acalentando meus pés, na rua que hoje acho tão pequena e na época, era gigante. As tias, nas janelas, sobre as cortinas querendo saber se aprendi muito ou não. Os irmãos a zombar do meu caderno de partituras em uníssono agitando os dedos como se fossem os maestros de uma brincadeira sem fim.
Arthur, Bach, Mozart e Chopin cabiam nos sonhos do meu pai como se fossem amigos íntimos. Era como se o rádio o levasse para dentro das teclas e as sinfonias transformava o homem simples da roça em um conhecedor do erudito.. E por ele até tentei, mas minha parte musical não avançou muito, mesmo com o piano herdado da professora.
Hoje, nessa data em que homenageamos os mortos, a rua e suas casas me receberam de novo – nas memórias guardadas no peito. Embora, eu não tenha aprendido a tocar piano, desejei me deliciar para homenagear o artista que tanto encantou em muitas noites serenas, o meu pai.
Eigentlich wollten wir in der zweiten Hälfte September endlich einmal den Formationsflug der Stare bewundern. In einem Dorf sahen wir auch ein paar … aber die grossen Schwärme blieben aus. Dafür sahen wir einige Fischreiher, viele Möwen und einen Raubvogel, den ich nicht identifizieren konnte.
… Our plan was that during the second half of September we would finally go and see the starlings‘ murmuration. We saw a few in a village … but the large masses didn’t show up. But, instead we saw a few herons, many seagulls and a bird of prey, which I wasn’t able to identify.
Und bei unserer Ankunft in Højer diese Vögel: … And upon arrival in Højer, these birds:
Wir wohnten im Marskhotellet, das wir wirklich empfehlen können. Der Service ist gut, das Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit, gutes Essen, guter Wein … und das Zimmer war schön, geräumig und mit Aussicht auf den Innenhof mit zwei von diesen Freilandbadewannen. Ihr seht den Hof nachstehend, der Gentleman geniesst dort die Sonne.
… We had a room at Marskhotellet, which we really can recommend. The service is fine, the staff friendly and helpful, good food and wine … and the room was great, spacy, with a view on the inner yard with two of these outdoor bathtubs. You see the yard below, the gentleman is enjoying the sun.
Im Treppenaufgang gab es folgende Information:
… In the staircase we got the following information:
Nach einem kurzen Abstecher zur Windmühle von 1857 machten wir uns auf den Weg, um die Stare aufzustöbern.
… After a short detour to the wind mill from 1857, we went off to find the starlings.
Wir stehen auf der äusseren Schleuse, rechts vom Deich ist die Nordsee.
… We are standing on the outer watergate; to the right of the dam is the North Atlantic.
Ich muss gestehen, dass das Wattenmeer nicht meine Lieblingslandschaft ist, aber sie ist Heimat für viele unter Schutz stehende Tiere.
… I have to admit that the Wadden Sea is not my favourite landscape, but it is home for many protected animal species.
Nach einem wohlverdienten Mittagsschlaf machten wir uns noch einmal auf den Weg, denn die Stare sind angeblich dämmerungsaktiv. Nicht ein einziger kam uns vor die Linse! So fuhren wir einfach ein wenig durch die Landschaft und endeten an der deutschen Grenze. Die ist ja angeblich scharf bewacht an allen, auch den kleinsten Übergängen.
… After a well deserved afternoon nap, we headed out again, as it seems that the starlings are roaming in the gloaming. Not a single one came out for a photo! So, we just drove a bit around and ended up at the border to Germany. Allegedly it is heavily controlled at all crossing points, even the smallest ones.
Aber nein, hier war niemand, und die Schranke war offen. Selbst wenn die runter sein sollte, kann man um sie herumfahren, wie ihr sehen könnt. 😉 Wir sausten also ganz kurz mal über die Grenze und wieder zurück nach Dänemark, Pässe hatten wir natürlich nicht dabei.
… No, nobody there, and the bar was up. Even if it had been down, one can drive around it, as you can see. 😉 We dashed over to Germany and back again to Denmark. We did not have any passports with us, of course.
Nach dem Abendessen gingen wir in der Stadt spazieren. Højer ist eine schöne kleine Stadt.
… After dinner, we went for a stroll in the town. Højer is a pretty little place.
Ich dachte erst, dass dieser überdachte Platz zu irgendeinem Restaurant gehörte, aber nein, dies ist für die Bürger und Touristen, von der Kommune gebaut.
… First I thought that this roofed space belonged to one or the other restaurant, but no, this is built by the municipality for the citizens and the tourists.
Ist die Pflasterarbeit nicht toll?
… Is the paving work not great?
Trotz ohne Stare hatten wir zwei schöne Tage. Auf dem Rückweg fuhren wir über Ulfburg. Von dem Retro-Museum dort habe ich bereits berichtet.
… Despite the absence of starlings, we had two great days. On our way home, we took the route via Ulfburg. I have already written about the retro-museum there.
