Die USA zeigen gerade, was das Ergebnis gewesen wäre, wenn Terry Gilliam "1984" verfilmte hätte.

Yikes! Peer review is critical for the integrity of our science, and outside experts are always needed to vet new grant proposals. By moving this all in-house at NIH, we lose scientific independence & make it easy for the government to determine what research should be funded. 🧪 #PeerReview

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Drei Jahre lang hat Friedrich Merz erzählt, Robert Habeck sei der schlechteste Wirtschaftsminister aller Zeiten, u.a. deshalb, weil er mit schuldenfinanzierten Investitionen die deutsche Wirtschaft wettbewerbsfähig machen und die Infrastruktur in Ordnung bringen wollte. Friedrich Merz jetzt:

“Russia Ukraine is not a proxy for whether you like Trump or not, Russia is our enemy, and paid the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers”

Die Einzigen, die in Deutschland an der Seite des neuen amerikanischen Faschismus stehen, sind deutsche Faschisten (AfD), die bezahlten Putinfreunde (AfD/BSW) und die neuen Fascholibertäre wie Ulf Poschardt von der Welt. Was für eine "Koalition der Menschenverachtung" - Kannste dir nicht ausdenken!

Was am meisten schockiert, ist die Bereitschaft von Menschen, die in Demokratien leben, sich einem verantwortungslosen, zynischen, egozentrischen und mafiaartig agierenden Präsidenten so bedenkenlos und speichelleckerisch zu unterwerfen, wie man es sonst nur aus Diktaturen kennt.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Ein solches Statement der Solidarität wünsche ich mir vom alten und vom kommenden Kanzler. Aber da ist nur Schweigen. Es war nicht anders zu erwarten.

Was im Weißen Haus heute passiert ist, ist auf so vielen Ebenen unfassbar verstörend, primitiv und unwürdig.
