I do not want to encourage anyone to leave their country to find refuge in Europe for our own gain, even though it is tempting. We need to find ways to maintain academic freedom and freedom of expression wherever we are.

Dass die Grünen eigene Akzente im Finanzpaket setzen wollen, ist verständlich. Es letztlich nicht zu unterstützen, würde ihre Glaubwürdigkeit im Hinblick auf Ukraine aber auch Infrastruktur langfristig beschädigen. Es wäre eine Dummheit. (Auch wenn viele Dummheiten im Sondierungspapier stehen).

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

German public TV just published this poll of first-time voters. A massive lead for socialist Left party on 27%. Left + SPD + Greens on 54% among first-time-voters. Those voters were also slightly less likely to vote AfD than national average. So much for the “far-right youth”.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Merz takes a big gamble when exploiting the lack of clear majorities in the German parliament today. Instead of forging a consensus with future partners in government, he prompts new red lines. Might backfire badly and not even win the votes he hopes for.
