So Canada, like Germany, is victim to a violent attack in the last stretch of the election campaign. Interestingly, in Germany, after the election the attacks subsided.

Lesenswerter Artikel von @puettmann.bsky.social. Dass die AfD wieder verschwindet, wenn die Politik vernünftige Lösungen für Probleme hinbekommt, ist eine der größten Selbstillusionierungen im Umgang mit dem Rechtsextremismus, der seit Jahren zu den gleichen Fehlern von Politik und Medien führt.

Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents.
56% disapprove of handling of issue
62% oppose removing foreign students
52% oppose renditions to El Salvador
Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there
Engage, Dems.
