Starmer told to accept Trump ‘free speech’ agenda to win trade deal ‘Good chance’ of agreement, says JD Vance – but sources say his concerns over Britain’s hate speech laws ‘are still a red line’

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later.

Trumps geopolitische Kehrtwende: Wie kann ein „De-Risking“ von Amerika aussehen? Trumps Zolldrohungen zeigen, dass er auch Energiepolitik zukünftig massiv als Instrument seiner Machtpolitik missbrauchen könnte. Was jetzt zu tun ist.

Trumps Kurs zeigt: Energie wird in Zeiten von Geopolitik zur Machtfrage. Auch China setzt auf staatlich gesteuerte Industrie. Europa darf nicht zaudern – wir brauchen die Energiewende um unabhängig zu bleiben! Mehr dazu in meinem Tagesspiegel-Beitrag (Paywall). www.tagesspiegel.de/internationa...

Was für eine primitive und widerliche Drecksscheiße! 🤮🖕🏻

This is genuinely scary!

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race?

It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps. 

Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court.

Follow the money.

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

With coalition talks wrapping up before Easter and Merz likely to take office by May, the real challenge begins: proving to all voters, including AfD and Left Party supporters, that this government will address their concerns.

Germany's Bundestag votes in favor of reforming 'debt brake' – DW – 03/18/2025 The multibillion-euro package loosens borrowing limits and allows new investments in defense, infrastructure and climate. The plan is backed by the conservative CDU/CSU alliance, center-left SPD and G...

It’s done! Germany has taken a decisive step toward a stronger defense, better infrastructure, and climate resilience. This constitutional amendment isn’t just a relief for Germany—it’s a necessity for Europe.

www.dw.com/en/germanys-...

Big moves ahead—Germany can’t afford to fail.

CDU/CSU & SPD unveiled their investment plans: A constitutional amendment is proposed to expand the defense budget, exempting spending above 1% GDP from debt brake. Additionally, a €500B special fund for infrastructure over 10 yrs planned. Bundestag vote next week! Greens & FDP still need convincing

All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.“

„If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next?

All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.“

„I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends –

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.“

„I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.

I've been in politics for over 25 years now and I've heard many, many speeches, so I'm confident being able to recognise when a speech is a historic one! The 2025 State of the State speech by @govpritzker.illinois.gov is one, and I recommend listen to the longer version 🎤💥 youtu.be/hS66O1C7Gp4?si…
