Bad musician (but passionate). Not a bad historian (self-assessment, mind you). Good sense for fascistoid attitudes (from Moscow to Mar-A-Lago). Excellent cluelessness in many respects (without exaggeration).

Diese Szenen sind unerträglich. Aber ich muss immer daran denken, dass 2024 keine Wählergruppe so sehr auf Trump umgeschwenkt ist wie die Latinos. Was haben diese Leute - nach neun Jahren „criminals and rapists“-Rhetorik - nur erwartet? www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/sur...

Das nun ist der offene Verfassungsbruch und purer Faschismus: Die US-Regierung plant, den Grundsatz des Habeas Corpus auszusetzen, also das fundamentale Recht einer inhaftierten Person, die Gründe oder Umstände ihrer Inhaftierung von einem Gericht überprüfen zu lassen.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

On today's date in 1945, the last hours of negotiations were held on the military surrender of the Nazi German air, sea and naval forces, which was ultimately complete and unconditional. The surrender was then signed in the early morning of May 7. Interesting visit to Reims, France, by The Guardien:

Wo wir schon bei größten Problemen sind, liebe NZZ: Das größte Problem sind Medien, die Trumps Angriff auf Universitäten und Wissenschaft rechtfertigen und relativieren. Die Aggression wird zum legitimen Korrektiv umgedeutet: Nicht der Brandstifter ist das Problem, sondern die brennbaren Bücher.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country) But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
