Ein Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

We are transforming into an autocratic state, at this very moment.
DHS is saying federal agents are above local & state laws. DHS is saying that they alone will decide what their officers are allowed to do. DHS is saying they are in control, they make the rules, and the law does not apply to them.

Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not.
The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:

I haven't always agreed with Jerome Powell, but what Donald Trump is doing is out of the dictator’s playbook.
Kudos to Powell for speaking out.

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations making bank off his deportation agenda.
Trump has unleashed billions of dollars worth of funding for these companies while offering them "no-bid" contracts.
