Car Maker Tilly Presents New Putin Protest Figure…
The Düsseldorf car manufacturer Jacques Tilly presented a new sculpture of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. It shows Putin in prison clothing and with blood on his hands.
The new figure is scheduled to be brought to The Hague on Monday. Activists critical of the regime want to demonstrate there on Tuesday in front of the International Court of Justice on the occasion of Putin’s inauguration in Moscow.
Demand: Putin should go to court
Putin has been one of the most popular targets of Tilly’s biting satire for many years. He has already been the subject of one of his theme floats in the Düsseldorf Rose Monday procession more than ten times. The new figure is intended to visually illustrate and get to the heart of the demand to bring Putin before the international court.
“This figure consolidates the opinion that Putin is not an elected president, but a war criminal who belongs in court or in prison,” Tilly explained his motive at the introduction.
Tilly figures have been at anti-Putin protests for years
According to Tilly, dissident activists from Russia became aware of him and his Putin figure in 2021.

Yet Another US Ally Found Out It Was…
/ world today news/ It is not the USA that shows us what the world will be like after the current confrontation, which has reached an extreme. Rather, America’s allies. In Europe it is, for example, Slovakia with the new government, but that is a separate conversation. In the Pacific region is Australia, whose Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is coming to Beijing this week. For a fight or for peace? And at the same time, both, but apparently there is nowhere else for them to fight. So they still have to reconcile, but in a way that doesn’t anger the White House.
This story is a miniature copy of what is happening between Washington and Beijing. That is, relaxation of tension, reduction of its level to a less dangerous level, a pause in the confrontation. And an attempt to understand in practice, how can such a thing be done so that it does not look like capitulation? The US is still failing.
Will the Aussies make it? If the answer is yes, it is because the authorities of this country at one time went too far. We are talking about the former government of Scott Morrison.

Black Voters Triumph In Louisiana: White Voters Personal…
Legal Battle Over Louisiana’s Congressional Map
CNN
Nearly two years after a federal judge ruled that Louisiana’s congressional map diluted Black voting power, Black voters face the risk of participating in another election under a plan that likely violates the Voting Rights Act.
The latest challenge stems from a recent court ruling that found the state’s Republican legislature in violation of the Constitution for adding a second majority-African American district to the existing six-district congressional plan.
Political Implications
Issued by two judges appointed by former President Donald Trump, the new ruling has left Louisiana without a congressional map just six months before the upcoming election. This development has sparked concerns of political maneuvering from critics on the left, who fear that it could provide an opportunity for opponents of the Voting Rights Act to challenge a fundamental aspect of civil rights legislation.
Impact on Congressional Control
The legal battle over the congressional map could have significant implications for which party controls the US House in the next term, as the second majority-Black district is likely to lean towards Democratic representation.
Legal Dilemma
Louisiana officials find themselves in a difficult position due to the ongoing legal dispute surrounding the congressional map.
