Me: renewing my subscription to The Guardian and making online donations to NPR and PBS and ProPublica today.

I voted in Germany today. Yes, results are not ideal. But the AfD, backed by Vance & Musk, was rejected by 80% of voters. (17 parties were on the ballot). Mainstream parties will form a governing coalition without the AfD because the vast majority of Germans never want fascists to govern here again.

Not a single one of the other 16 parties in Germany is willing to form a coalition with the AfD.
Why? #NeverAgain #NieWieder #FireWall #fckfascism

I am sickened that JD Vance visited Munich last week and showed support for the AfD. It is beyond the pale that a U.S. administration would support this party. But the current U.S. administration and the AfD share a common ground of hatred, racism, and evilness.

In Germany there is a common saying "Nie Wieder" (Never Again) regarding fascism.

Tomorrow I will be voting *against* the AfD, a right-wing extremist party that the #megalomaniacs in power in the U.S. are supporting.
