Confirmed Russian links to both parties.
Germany’s AfD and the U.S. GOP are forging an alliance—moving from rhetoric to coordinated action. As Republicans welcome a party deemed an extremist threat by German authorities, the MAGA movement is legitimizing a partnership built on anti-immigrant politics and “Great Replacement” ideology.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

To those telling me 'I need to go to Israel to understand the truth', here's the exact words from your Minister of Defense in October of 2023:

"There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."

Judging from the last few days of vitriolic comments and messages, it seems that me referring to Israel's occupation and blockade of Gaza as "genocide" is quite controversial and I've even been accused of antisemitism. So let me explain myself: 🧵

I didn't just decide this based on my own feelings.

As right-wing oligarchs were buying up mainstream and social media, the mistake everyone else made was thinking that these purchases were based on a normal assessment of value. Remember when Elon Musk “overpayed” for Twitter?

They understood that controlling the message and narrative is priceless.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

We've had a perfect experiment in ending rent control: Massachusetts abolished it in the early 2000s.

Rent in Boston did not go down at all, and in fact kept shooting upward. All that happened was working people being driven from their longtime homes.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
