Die Zuspitzung der Angriffe auf die offene Gesellschaft durch Trump und Putin erschwert das Geschäft der rechtsextremen Parteien. Nun sehen alle, was Remigration in der Praxis bedeutet. Der seit zehn Jahren wütende Populismus von Rechts – eine mit Geld aus fossiler Energie finanzierte Bewegung alter weißer Männer, die die Öffentlichkeit mittels digitaler Kampagnen manipuliert - wird das genaue Gegenteil erreicht haben. | Nils MInkmar: Dialektik im Winter

—running counter to emerging video evidence and first-person accounts of the deadly encounter.
The Department of Homeland Security claimed after Pretti’s death he had
“vio…

Top Democrats issued a clear message to Donald Trump this week:
either he fires Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary,

IN AMERICA, WE HAVE NO KINGS.
We are showing up together again on March 28.
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option.
We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear.
It belongs to us, the people.
