The SPD needs to urgently relearn anti-fascist economics. The only hope for Germany to get a progressive government again at a time when the extreme right is #1 in the national polls is a coalition of the Left, the Social Democrats and the Greens (red-red-green). 🧵

An agent of the state murders an American, and government leaders rush to media to call the victim a "domestic terrorist" before any pretense of an investigation. We are so far down the fascist hole.

Last week, Israeli strikes killed 31 journalists at a Houthi-run newspaper complex in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.

@CPJMENA said it’s “the deadliest strike on journalists in the Middle East” they’ve ever documented. It follows a pattern across the region.
