RIP, Skype! I met you at an amazing and incredibly optimistic part of my life and you kept me in touch with all the wonderful people I met then. We have all moved on to different apps, but you were our first 💙

Dear Democrats,

This is what it means when we say we want you to do more, act more and not shrink into yourselves. We need you to fight!

Thank you, Rep. Larson!

New @therestpolitics.bsky.social - deep dive on German elections plus Merz-Trump, Macron-Trump, Starmer-Trump, Zelensky-Trump and why Trump is so in thrall to Putin. These are remarkable days in US-Europe history and we try to make sense of it all alastaircampbell.org/2025/02/375-...
375. Germany's Fight Against the Far Right
Has Trump already become a strategic adversary to Europe? Will Starmer’s White House visit be his ‘Love, Actually’ moment? How can Europe actually become independent from the US? Join Rory and Alastai...

Currently listening to Alastair's and Rory's takes on our German election results on The Rest is Politics Podcast. Very interesting listen, as always! I also learned that Alastair actually speaks German quite fluently.

Have a listen!

If I have anything to be grateful for in my life, than that is the privilege of voting.

I can not only vote for my country, but two. I can today not only vote for a federal representative, but also my local one.

Take pride in this right. Do your duty. Go vote!

"It's none of your business, JD Vance." – Das muss man so klar sagen, nach der Rede, die der angedrohte Abschied der Amerikaner aus dem Wertebündnis mit Europa war. Aber Europa kann stark sein und bestehen im internationalen Mächtekonzert – wenn es mit einer Stimme spricht.

Worried about this now that my grandmother is in a care home and my mother's health has never been great. We should think and plan more about what to do in this eventuality.

Reports out that Macron is calling an emergency summit of political leaders to meet on Monday in Paris. Hopefully, if these sources are correct, to form a plan on how to deal with the U.S. hostility towards Europe.

American interference in European elections is becoming more and more threatening. I hope our leaders can remain steadfast and Germany chooses wisely these upcoming elections (inspite of Musk and Co.)
