Die USA belegen jetzt Leute, die sich gegen Hass im Netz einsetzen, mit Einreiseverbot. Das ist kein westlich-demokratischer Rechtsstaat mehr. Ich wünsche mir, dass das auch von PolitikerInnen in Europa so ausgesprochen wird.

This is not normal. Nothing about this is normal.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.
