  1. We’re sick of this cruel corrupt gaslighting $Bribecoin regime. Remember they win when we the 99% do nothing or give up. Passionate peaceful protests matter. Ripples matter. Support a free press & those who break thru the BS wherever you can. Join the fight with Indivisible, MoveOn, 50501, the DCCC.

  2. If trump told everyone that one of the nurses was stealing his biscuits and stuck to it consistently, he just might be believed.

    When he shouts to passers by that all the medical staff are stealing his biscuits, his socks and his money, people just expect his meds to be reviewed.

    … embrace the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.

  4. It is the voters in democracies who have chosen these policies. But it was the media that filled the discourse with the madness of fiction. It's time to re-read Neil Postman's ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’. In 1985, he described very precisely how the way is being paved for madness.

  5. Germany does not want to appease the AfD Nazi-party that The Heritage Foundation, Vance, Musk and Putin are supporting.

    So our "violation of human rights" boils down to the defense of human rights. And that is becoming a crime in the US.

  6. Das ist ein wichtiger Punkt, Anne! Die Medien haben tatsächlich eine große Verantwortung, wenn es um die Gestaltung der öffentlichen Diskussion geht. Neil Postman hat das bereits 1985 erkannt und in seinem Buch "Amusing Ourselves to Death" beschrieben. Hast du das Buch gelesen? 🤔

  7. Hate this timeline. We cannot sustain this level of harm; politically, economically, human rights, the rule of law. 3 years of this and the US will be unrecognizable. There is no Republican party, just a bunch of politicians vying for power, at any cost.

  8. Ty for this incredible free article! Your work is crucial for those of us without the time or knowledge to know where to look for the rip tide dragging us away from our shores of freedom.

  9. Every day my stomach clenches as I read news of the latest desecration of our integrity and norms. I never imagined it could be this bad. And still 3.5 years to go.

  10. Romania also lost its visa waiver because it canceled elections heavily interfered with by Russia, which promoted an anti-democratic and anti-Western extremist.

  11. crazy how our educational systems collapse world wide and people cannot understand brain wash neither what is humane nor how to check facts nor how to sustain critical and healthy views on whats happening in our societies. everything is now 180 degrees towards "fucked".

  12. I hope people are busy storing and saving AND hiding data & files & documents for a brighter future where facts & history matter.

    The regime (for lack of a better word) will attack the quirkiest museums, the smallest libraries, the nerdiest history societies. Everything online can be deleted.

  13. They take a wrecking ball to every norm, standard, custom, rule. Seemingly, without consequences for themselves. The world will pay the consequences. The speed and depth of this descent is really shocking.

  14. Just a reminder that nothing can be trusted from this administration, nothing. The media must note this on every report with news from the administration.

  15. Anne, curious what these types of reports do over the long term to American standing and the rewriting of global relationships.

  16. It's a prediction of what to expect when AfD is taking over. MAGA'S wet dreams. Proudly presented by CDU/CSU.

  17. I appreciate the gift article but after watching a BBC The Context interview today about the goals of the Heritage Foundations in removing women from political and social spaces so they can stay home and have Christian babies. I could not bear so much more evidence of our decline into depravity.

  18. The El Salvador tourist board will be loving this. And presumably Germany can organise guided tours of their world-renowned, maximum security 'hotels' for visitors who have over-stayed their welcome or have the 'wrong' tatooes!

  19. Lets face it, data and reports from the incompetent and intellectually compromised Trump /Republican administration cannot be trusted or relied on.

  20. To be in military one must first volunteer. Recruitment was up prior to election, yet under tRump it hasn't slowed. If it doesn't soon, we must wonder what is it about recruits that they want or are willing to serve under tRump. They may be sent to control own people. How do they abide such action?

  21. Trump and the US has set hard fought rights back decades. It is going to a long time to redress this and it's unlikely to be pretty. Misogyny and bullies prosper. Ultimately they'll fall and we'll go full circle but it's hideous to be living in the middle of this.

  22. Trump’s premise IS ridiculous and self-serving. B/ German police, at least from videos out of Berlin violently abusing anti-genocide, anti-Zionist protesters, IS a violation of the human right and necessity to PROTEST GENOCIDE in Gaza.

  23. It is hard to be surprised by the unscrupulousness of our current government but there was stuff in this article that I found surprising even today

  24. Thought for the day:

    Stop fretting over Dictator Dump & his corrupt cronies. They are oblivious. Time to hit a handful of nervous GOP members HARD in both houses relentlessly. Time to push for impeachment by end 2025. No point waiting for rigged midterms. That will be too late.

  25. In Trump's world, ignorance IS strength. That's how he got his MAGA cult to vote against their own interests.

  26. Rubio is weak and incompetent. Trump has known that since he called him Little Marco in '16.

  27. It has a catastrophic knock-on effect, as those reports were a major source of country of origin information for international protection hearings in other jurisdictions.

  28. And where the DOJ charges one person with felony assault for throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, yet pardons the entire mob trying to overturn a valid election while attacking the Capitol.

  29. Time to hold your elected members of parlament acountable. Every single one of them. They are enabling this behaviour and actions.
