Noch fataler als die Inkaufnahme von AfD-Stimmen im Bundestag finde ich den Umgang der CDU mit den Protesten dagegen. Es stünde der Partei schon gut an, die Sorge von Menschen vor einer Wiederholung der deutschen Geschichte ernst zu nehmen. Das ist eigentlich das Mindeste, was man erwarten kann.

YouTube video by The Wall Street Journal Why Economists Hate Trump's Tariff Plan | WSJ

Solid description. The one thing that gets left out is the income distribution aspect of what they're saying. There's a push to increase tariffs -- which will raise revenue -- and lower income taxes. But tariffs are VERY regressive. 1/3

Una declaración de guerra Podemos coleccionar repudios, afirmar que tenemos razón (porque la tenemos), pero mi impresión es que nada de eso funciona para detener el odio.

Muy bueno esto de @tamtenenbaum.bsky.social
"esto que hizo el Presidente mismo en uno de los foros internacionales más importantes es una declaración de guerra. Me preocupa mucho, porque no sé qué deberíamos hacer ni cómo lo vamos a parar."

Ich ergänze: Buenos Aires! Und stimme so zu. Medien, bitte, macht euch & uns nicht zum bloßen Publikum autoritär-bizarrer Shows, so unterhaltsam diese auch wirken mögen.

Zum 80. Jahrestag der Befreiung von Auschwitz, wo Kinder massenhaft vergast wurden, müssen sich alle nochmal vor Augen führen, wohin eine Politik führt, die Menschen die Menschlichkeit abspricht. Mir ist jetzt klar geworden, dass ich bis an mein Lebensende gegen Faschismus kämpfen werde.

#WeRemember and we #NeverForget, and therefore I decided to stop posting actively on X/Twitter. My usual posts after speeches and events will be found on other platforms, especially Bluesky and LinkedIn. 3/3

Das ist keine "umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion", das ist Einschüchterung und Terror. Mag sich jemand in der Redaktion beim SWR mal vorstellen, was das mit den Menschen macht, die Ziel dieses völkischen Furors sind?
Und was muss noch passieren, ehe man diese Rassisten stoppt?

Der der SWR schreibt über die Verteilung von abschiebetickets an Menschen mit migrationsgeschichte in der Überschrift: umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion

"Umstrittene Wahlkampfaktion"? UMSTRITTEN? WAHLKAMPFAKTION? Ist das euer scheiß Ernst SWR?

Very important observation.

Feels very much like this in Germany at the moment, where - interestingly, in contrast to the EU elections last year - in the media discussion all the momentum is with the AfD, and its rise is portrayed as almost inevitable.

#EconPhD students of the world: submit!
This is an amazing PhD conference, year after year, organized by a fantastic crew of @warwickecon.bsky.social PhD students 👇

It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/
