We've got a famous folk song here in Germany, called 'Die Gedanken Sind Frei' - 'Thoughts are free'.

Just a little slice of German culture.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

Many differences between Stuttgart and Frankfurt, but the single-minded bloody determination that people have to claim ubahn seats is a big one.

Reminds me of Melbourne, or London. I think I'll be at home.

I'm going to save you a lot of time. If an online piece has a headline posed as a question, you can be damn sure the answer can be found in the very last paragraph. Scroll to the end.
