Russia is not just a nation, itโ€™s a Defenestration Nation.

You can literally hear the civilized world pulling itself away from the USSA.

Most of us would not move to take a job in a lawless fascism.

I was censored on Instagram for searching for #democracy. I deleted at once and forever all Meta profiles and apps. My grandfatherโ€˜s generation killed fascists. The least I can do is not use their evil software.

WAPO still exists? Thatโ€™s mind-boggling.

If I thought the Trump voter actually ate fresh fruits and vegetables, I might feel some pangs of Schadenfreude.

Our loathsome political culture has made Adorno seem like an optimist.

If you want an answer to the question, ask a German from 1938.

If one really needs to go to North America, go to Canada or Mexico.

My first question is: People still read the Washington Post?

The country of my birth has become a fascist shit-hole. Glad I left.

I just unfollowed Wired for this embarrassing Amazon promotion. And Iโ€™ve read Wired since the mid-90โ€˜s.

We should not be buying from Amazon AT ALL. Would it not be better to direct this attention to smaller merchants?

If the end goal is to take the U.S. off the global stage for the next 50+ yearsโ€ฆthen, yeah it makes total sense.

When that happens they can blame Satan.

That anyone travels to the U.S. for leisure is nothing short of astounding.

Now if only these brave and scientifically-minded people can do the same thing with whooping cough and polio.

Of all the loathsome Republicans, she is by far the most loathsome.

As an American emigrant in Germany, I depend on the SZ and Die Zeit for credible news from the U.S. Sadly my home country has only one real remaining newspaper, and just barely.
