I asked Der Spiegel to share this important interview with Robert Kagan in English. @bredow made it happen. This is how American media should be talking:
"We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance"

U.S. Historian Robert Kagan: "We Are Watching a Country Fall Under Dictatorship Almost Without Resistance"

The Cold War? Child's play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

Do not comply.

Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.

This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.

This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

'Hate' For Musk Quickly Narrows Jury Pool In Twitter Deal Trial - Law360

A California federal judge quickly narrowed a pool of 92 prospective jurors Thursday in a class action brought by former Twitter investors against Elon Musk, excusing 38 potential jurors who said they couldn't be fair and impartial as Musk's attorney lamented there are "so many people who hate him so much."

A single road death is one too many.

In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.

Progress is real but not enough.

To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.

We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.

Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.

Seems more and more that Epstein's sexual crimes were only the tip of the iceberg, and that he engaged in much more financial, blackmail, information, spying and influence and trafficking, that could shatter the whole world 💣💥💥💥

Which would certainly explain why DJT is ready to do anything to cover it up 🤔
