Noch fataler als die Inkaufnahme von AfD-Stimmen im Bundestag finde ich den Umgang der CDU mit den Protesten dagegen. Es stünde der Partei schon gut an, die Sorge von Menschen vor einer Wiederholung der deutschen Geschichte ernst zu nehmen. Das ist eigentlich das Mindeste, was man erwarten kann.

Solid description. The one thing that gets left out is the income distribution aspect of what they're saying. There's a push to increase tariffs -- which will raise revenue -- and lower income taxes. But tariffs are VERY regressive. 1/3

Una declaración de guerra
Podemos coleccionar repudios, afirmar que tenemos razón (porque la tenemos), pero mi impresión es que nada de eso funciona para detener el odio.

Berlin, Belgrad, Bratislava - überall gehen die Menschen zu Tausenden gegen rechte Politik auf die Strasse. In den Medien heute wieder nur Trump und Musk. Das ist Teil des Problems.

Zum 80. Jahrestag der Befreiung von Auschwitz, wo Kinder massenhaft vergast wurden, müssen sich alle nochmal vor Augen führen, wohin eine Politik führt, die Menschen die Menschlichkeit abspricht. Mir ist jetzt klar geworden, dass ich bis an mein Lebensende gegen Faschismus kämpfen werde.

Very important observation.
Feels very much like this in Germany at the moment, where - interestingly, in contrast to the EU elections last year - in the media discussion all the momentum is with the AfD, and its rise is portrayed as almost inevitable.
