I design, develop and publish boardgames. I listen to handmade music of many kinds - mostly guitar-driven. I used to like football a lot. I try to live an inclusive life style. Trying to never stop learning. Hoping to be an ally.🏳️🌈

Donald #Trump greift den #US-amerikanischen Rechtsstaat an. Nirgends zeigt sich das deutlicher als in den Gängen eines Gerichts in New York. Die Regierung lässt Einwanderer nach routinemäßigen Terminen verhaften – und entlässt Richter, die nicht spuren. Eine Reportage.
So arbeitet Trumps Abschiebemaschine
Wer dieses Einwanderungsgericht am 26 Federal Plaza in New York betritt, kann nicht wissen, ob er als freier Mensch wieder herauskommt.
