I can't quite make out what happened as its just out of frame but looks like all other traffic proceeding timidly while this one vehicle zooms through some crazy ass intersection.
Intersection has blue and white fucking tinsel streamers all over it. How are people not made nauseas by the nationalism. For any country that is too much flag shit.

What the fuck is going on with the construction of this sign?
Instead of finding a single piece of cardboard the correct size this person looks to have painstakingly attached together about 20 tiny pieces of cardboard, wood and other materials. They didn't even manage to find blank pieces for their sign, there is prior writing on them. Then painted it all with some translucent kind of paint. Where do you even get paint like that?
Do adults get drafted when they move to israel as or is that only for teenagers?
Doesnt answer your question but while i was looking i found this really fucked 2018 article: After a refugee influx, does Germany have an imported anti-Semitism problem?. Apprently in 2018 it was "the muslims".
Maybe you can contact the minister of anti semitism for comment.
Or perhaps there is some sort of public record, like police press releases or FOIAs. How else would this be known? Unless the total number is public and everyone who is getting arrested is in a group so they can account for their own membership. In that case whatever is the german equivilant to jewish voice for peace. Actually jvp might have the info.
As others have pointed out the organization whose press release this "news" article is repeating is anti vax and hence they cannot be trusted to tell you if water is wet.
First of all, we can see that none of the 3 people who are bylines on the link, nor this posts author, nor various other websites repeating the claim, actually read the study because it is very clearly not a pesticide:
Chlormequat acts to decrease stem height, thereby reducing the likelihood of crops bending over, which can make harvesting difficult.
Now so far as the contents of the "study" go, it admits there is "Equivocal evidence in the toxicological literature on chlormequat" but its tucked in there after a lot of shakey sounding alarmism. I didnt do a full review of the sources but it sounds like test animals were probably fed a lot of this chemical. It also mentions the half life is 2-3 hours.
It clarifies that this chemical is legal in EU and "chlormequat is prevalent in commonly consumed foods in Europe" and towards the end says it is also legal in Canada. They also say that it is present in "100%" of people in similar european studies. So this isnt some sort of new inovation in the US. It doesnt mention elsewhere in the world.
About the methods, take a look at the sources of the piss:
21 samples: 2017 in South Carolina. Volunteers who were currently giving birth. Sounds like possibly collected for another study (what was it about?) and left over.
25 samples: 2017-2022 in Missouri. People who volunteered urine to a company for unspecified reasons.
50 samples: 2023 in Florida. Same as previous.
So half the samples are from a completely different place and those are also all 2023. So is it that there is more of this chemical recently or just in Florida? Impossible to say. I do not understand how this can have any value when their sampling is so scattershot.
Other than sex, no other info about the purchased piss is available. So impossible to know if the groups are otherwise similar. Literally no conclusions can be drawn from this.
Also please note that even 69% the 2017 samples had this chemical and that was prior to any of the rule changes this complains about took place.
All in all this looks like marketing for the "natural" food industry:
Organic fare is a safer bet, with just one of seven organic samples found to contain low levels of chlormequat, EWG said.
I dont think pesticides are included on ingredients lists in any case.
Should not be fooled by the marketing of the "natural" food industry.
Example, Cheerios ingredients:
Whole Grain Oats, Corn Starch, Sugar, Salt, Tripotassium Phosphate. Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) Added to Preserve Freshness. Vitamins and Minerals: Calcium Carbonate, Iron and Zinc (mineral nutrients), Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate), A B Vitamin (niacinamide), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), Vitamin A (palmitate), Vitamin B1 (thiamin mononitrate), A B Vitamin (folic acid), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3.
Everything after "Vitamins and Minerals" looks "complicated". But they are added to correct for dietary deficiencies caused primarily by poverty. If poor people ate the "uncomplicated" foods it would just be bringing back pellegra, goiters, rickets and various other diseases of malnutrition. They are successful public health interventions.
"Natural" food is a thing to individualize problems like health and ecology which can only be addressed collectively.
The normalization of masking in public is a good thing and we should try to hold on to it.
