I, as a German myself, see the need to call out their obvious intentions as drastic and crystal clear as necessary. They are currently testing how far they can stretch the legal system as there seems to be nobody there able to stop them. Paraphrasing legal eagle a bit here.
Nazis everywhere are doing the same thing. Look at the AfD streching everything that can be said or done by politics, slowly turning the weapons put in place to protect democracy against itself.
Also, do you have any idea what is happening to those people that aren't guilty of anything in those prisons? And the reason why they are not returned is what exactly? The millions of dollars the dictator gets for taking "care" of them sure doesn't seem to be any leverage to making sure the innocent prisoners are kept alive and well. This is what they want, getting away with deporting people never to be seen again.
It seems like you are not very well informed about what is going on at the moment. They are flying people out of the country never to be seen again. To another country's notorious prison with the world's self-proclaimed "coolest dictator". And they claim they cannot get them back even though being ordered by courts to do so.

Today, I went to stack up on my cat Miez's medication before the easter holidays. Their horses sure do have one of the best views in town up there. This is Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany.
Die Pferde meines Tierarzts haben nen tollen Ausblick. Außerdem treffe ich gerade Vorbereitungen für den Besuch meiner ehemaligen Katzen.
Heute hab ich noch schnell vor den Feiertagen die Medikamente meiner Miez aufgefüllt. Die Pferde bei meinem Tierarzt haben einen der besten Ausblicke der Stadt (Eichstätt in Oberbayern).
Miez might be asthmatic but otherwise she is my very healthy 11 y/o girl. This is her sitting on my current build project, a staircase cat tree.

Pünktchen is at least 1.5 y/o, yet developmentally delayed, thus still really small. Her hind leg bones are not fully developed (yet?) so jumping does not really work for her. However she has mighty muscles in her front leg so she can pull herself up anywhere.
Über Ostern hüte ich meine ehemalige Katzen Koda und Lilly. Daher haben mich meine Freunde heute eingeladen, um ihren Neuzugang Pünktchen kennen zu lernen.
Pünktchen ist mindestens anderthalb Jahre alt aber durch Entwicklungsverzögerung noch sehr klein. Die Knochen ihrer Hinterbeine haben sich (noch?) nicht richtig entwickelt, also tut sie sich mit Hüpfen schwer. Jedoch hat sie dafür umso kräftigere Vorderpfoten mit denen sie sich überall hochzieht.

Got some good news from my foster void Indira in her new forever home
English/German as always
A family first adopted Indira's sister Amira (right) until they convinced the dad to take in Indira as well. So they came by to collect her on Saturday.
Today they texted me saying both Indira and her sister Amira immediately recognized each other and get along well. Both of them love salmon. Indira settled in nicely and even lets them pet her on the head already after two days. It took me three days for her to start eating and three weeks for petting. Now after only two days she is fine. I'm so happy for my first foster cat and am looking forward for hopefully many more to come.
Side note: I love how the picture shows her never straight tail. Although it isn't hurt or anything she always has some curl or bend in it.

Don't we all?
Party officials defended themselves, claiming one mother specifically requested a meat grinder.
They clearly don't understand sarcasm.
That and being taught that over-confidence helps overcoming the shortcomings of lacking knowledge. That's how they got into their positions in the first place.

Today, my foster void Indira was adopted a week earlier than planned.
English/German as always.
It was a pain (literally) to catch her, but I am quite content as the new family had already adopted her younger sister Amira, who was even more shy than Indira. So I'm pretty hopeful she has finally foundher new forever home after one failed try and several months with only temporary housing (at the shelter plus here with me). She is such a good kitty and I only wish the best for her.
Meine schwarze Pflegekatze Indira wurde schon heute statt wie geplant in einer Woche adoptiert. Es war nicht einfach (und schmerzhaft) sie einzufangen, aber ich bin sehr zufrieden, da die neue Familie auch schon ihre jüngere Schwester Amira adoptiert hatte, die sogar noch scheuer war als Indira. Also bin ich ganz guter Dinge, dass sie nun ihr neues "für immer" Zuhause gefunden hat, nachdem sie nun zusammengerechnet im Katzenhaus, hier und mit einem fehlgeschlagenen Vermittlungsversuch monatelang nur temporär gehaust hat. Sie ist so eine liebe Katze und ich wünsche ihr nur das
That she is. The only cat I have ever known that showed me that she didn't like being touched anymore with a full blown paw swing COMPLETELY without claws.
I just got notified that the next try to foster out Indira is next week Friday. Have her derpiest photo as celebration.
English/German as always.
We had one try before but they decided it won't be a good fit after only two days. Indira is a quite anxious kitten, she needed three weeks to let me per her with my hands (previously only with a stick). I hope this time around it sticks and she finds her new forever home. I'm glad to hear she'll have a 9 month old male cat with her, as she really only opened up due to my cat. However, she is too young for my Miez, as Miez is stressed out by her often running past her (out of fear).
Ich hab gerade Bescheid bekommen, dass Indira nächste Woche nochmal von neuen Leuten abgeholt wird. Hier ist mein lustigstes Foto von ihr
Es gab vorher einen Vermittlungsversuch, bei dem aber schon nach zwo Tagen beschlossen wurde das es nicht passt. Indira ist eine ziemlich ängstliche Katze. Es hat schon drei Wochen gebraucht, bis ich sie statt mit einem Stabit den Händen streicheln durfte. Ich hoffe, dass es diesmal funktioniert und sie ihr neues Zuhause für immer findet. Ich

You mean people that don't have any logical arguments, thus only try to insult others and start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive? I see your point.
That's not at all what we are saying. You seem way too emotional, might be a good idea to take a step back and not start artificial fights with someone you basically agree with... I don't feel empathy for these people at all. De-humanizing is simply put counter-productive, as it puts a shadow where a light should be, and that is how those people are influenced to become this way, thus clarifying what goes wrong in society and eliminating the root cause by pointing it out every step of the way.
Funny you should say that. I guess a club is a good description for a cupboard that now contains my subwoofer as well as my games.
Thanks, edited. I always mix up "node" and "knot". "Knot" just looks wrong as it is too similar to the German translation "Knoten", but I guess the word origin is the same.
Couldn't have said it better.

My foster void Indira doing some purrkour and finally letting me pet her after three weeks
English/German as always. Expand for full embedded album
She loves the bird toy, so naturally the battery is about to die. That's why it is doing the strange noise.
Meine schwarze Pflegekatze Indira klettert und lässt sich nach drei Wochen endlich von mir streicheln.
Sie liebt das Vögelchen, daher ist die Batterie fast am Ende und es gibt selstame Geräusche von sich.
Previously, I was only allowed to pet her with a stick. She was terrified of hands. Yesterday she took a huge leap of faith and let me pet her directly. She has a great purr.
Vorher durfte ich sie nur mit einem Stab streicheln, da sie tierische Angst vor Händen hat. Gestern hat sie mir auf einmal großes Vertrauen ausgesprochen und sich direkt streicheln lassen.Ihr Schnurren ist super intensiv.

Indira (the void) has now been with us for three weeks (minus three days with a new home that didn't work out). Today morning she did not flee instantly and even meowed at me, so I approached her cautiously and much to my surprise she let me pet her with my hands! Sorry I don't have a video of that, I didn't wanna risk scaring her when she finally opens up by fetching my camera. This is the third time I was able to pet her, but the very first time that I didn't trick her into it by first petting her with a stick, then shortening it until my hand reached her. Usually when she saw my hand near her she would scare away quickly.

I am trying to get my cat Miez (front) adjusted to the whole foster concept, as she is always very interested in and friendly towards cats roaming about our garden. Indira has been with us for two weeks until Friday when she was picked up by a family. Unfortunately according to them it won't work out with her. IMO two days is way too early to call this but here we are, she is back with us now.
Heute wurde meine Pflegekatze Indira leider zu mir zurückgebracht. Ihre Angst vor Miez scheint inzwischen ihrem Spieltrieb zu weichen.

English/German as always.
In the two weeks she was here Indira has not learned to trust me. While she isn't afraid of my cat Miez anymore, she still hisses at me when I get too close for her comfort and runs away. Although she seems to be a totally cuddly cat, I'm not allowed to pet her directly. When the lady visited, she was allowed to per her almost instantly. It seems we just didn't "click", so I'm happy a very nice family will take her in.
Morgen wird meine Pflegekatze Indira in ihr neues Zuhause kommen, also habt hier eine Minute Schnurren von ihr
In den letzten zwo Wochen hat Indira nicht gelernt mir zu vertrauen. Meiner Miez gegenüber verhält sie sich nicht mehr ängstlich, aber sobald ich ihr zu nahe komme faucht sie und/oder rennt davon. Obwohl sie offenbar eine totale Schusekatze ist, darf ich sie immer noch nicht direkt streicheln. Als die Dame zu Besuch kam durfte sie Indira fast sofort direkt streicheln.

Today we have a visit from a woman interested in taking Indira. Almost instantly Indira letter pat her. Indira seems to prefer women, or - as the woman from the shelter said - is not used to men yet. Indira was living for around 2 years (estimated age) as a feral cat until they cought her a few weeks back. Sorry I had to remove the sound as we were talking.

I've had Indira since Saturday. Two days ago was the first time I tricked her with the magic toy stick into purring. Today she was sceptical at first and once she noticed me touching her directly moved away. However no cat can stay away from my scritches for very long once they've gotten a taste. :-)

I've had Indira since saturday. When I was ready to go to bed today I heard her meow. So I went in and tried to play with her. To my surprise she didn't run for cover immediately and to my very big joy she began play-cuddling with the toy stick. I'm not allowed totouch her directly yet (she even bit me earlier today when I tried) but it's great progress and totally worth staying up late as she even purred a little. Also someone interested contacted the shelter and they'll come here in the next days.

So a few days ago I decided to help out our local cat shelter by taking in foster cats. They came to my place and we spoke which cat would be a good fit to my cat to introduce her in a non-shocking way to what's coming in the next (I hope) years to come. They told me that due to superstition black cats are hard to re-home, and that's why they've had Indira for a few months now. She's a one year old shy and calm void. This is a good fit my really calm 11y/o Miez, who is really interested in and friendly to each cat passing through our garden.
