The very last episode of Maron's podcast with Obama and I am really disappointed about his missing guidance and perspective on the current state of affairs. Weak language, passive stance, no clear & bold messages, not even to his fellow democrats.

A ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ post on Truth Social appears to be Trump’s secret plan revealed to end the war. We have never looked more foolish and pathetic.

➡️ 38% of the world lives under autocratizing regimes

➡️ Only 6% lives in democratizing ones

Mir fällt es immer schwerer, diesen täglichen bescheuerten Blödsinn noch zu kommentieren. Die US-Idee, im Austausch für nichts und ohne jegliche Garantien für die Ukraine die Krim als russisch anzuerkennen und Russland-Sanktionen aufzuheben, ist am politischen Idiotismus kaum zu überbieten.

Historischen Chancen. Historische Zweifel, dass diese ergriffen werden.
Die Welt hat den Glauben in den Dollar verloren, aber noch kein Vertrauen in eine andere internationale Währung gewonnen.

Das ist die historische Chance für den Euro & Europa.

Iran and Russia are now officially allies: putin signs law ratifying the strategic partnership agreement with Iran.

We would like to remind you that the Iranian Foreign Ministry will fly to a meeting with the Chinese tomorrow. Coincidence?

Another great article on suppressing data collection and hindering measuring the effectiveness of policies.
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the Trump administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Was Jens #Spahn versucht, ist brandgefährlich. Er will die rechtsextreme AfD behandeln wie jede andere Partei und trägt so zu ihrer Normalisierung bei.

Gleichzeitig verschiebt er die Union inhaltlich immer weiter nach rechts. Wohin das führt, sehen wir in GB beim Brexit oder in den USA mit Trump.
