This does have international ramifications too, as far-right parties abroad can claim that the term is not “extremist” because the U.S. government also uses it.
Just the Department of Homeland Security, using a term hijacked and popularised by the extreme-right Identitarian Movement.

It was never about free speech.
It was always about protecting whiteness and its discursive power. If it were about speech, they wouldn’t ban the 1619 Project, books, and history itself, or punish those who remind us of the bigotry Charlie Kirk proudly espoused.

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.

Macht was Ihr wollt, aber denkt dran. Die Klimakrise zu ignorien ist sehr viel teurer als etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Natürlich ist es unbequem, auf Megakonsum zu verzichten, aber irgendwann geht uns so der Reichtum aus wegen Schäden und ständiger nachträglicher Adaption, die dann nie reicht.

Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk?
Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.
